LOL - makes sence, with all the prob from yesterday
havent check in the ol team this morn since putting them in the trenches

Same here, my mission results table is also screwed up.

Worse, four characters were stasis-locked and I had to manually put them into CR. Normally I wouldn't gripe, but when one character came out untouched with 100% health from his mission, and the other (that I was able to check before my mission results table FUBARed) had 37%, yet both were suddenly stasis-locked and then had to manually be put into CR? Then I have problems, and wound up gypped out of some energon, to boot.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not angry. Just wanted to let folks know that it's still pretty screwy in there right now.

Just nodding my head in agreement in case anyone else is wondering. Came out of 1 mission untouched & am having to repair the bot from stasis lock. No damage
Had another bot that survived a mission but am also having to give him the full-maintenance service. Only 30% damaged

No gripes...just informing you to not be surprised.

Uh, modest problem. I can't use any of the new altmodes that appear to have been made available to me. No idea where else to mention this, but I doubt I'm the only person.

[Subsonika]

arrrrgh i can't tell which threads have new posts they are all white.
i can't possibly read all that drivel, i will losemymind.

BTW, Glyph, your current system is flawed.
If you reset currently it offers you all the alts on the list, but any of the 'new' ones you click on it makes a big red box saying NO! but sends you back to the same page. I had to guess which ones were legal.

Yeah, part of the auto-rotator script is to remove expired icons from the list. It would probably have helped if I'd remembered to add a check on the expiry date when displaying them on the altmodes page and upgrade list, for those alts which expire between runs.

[Gargle Blaster]

Yup, another case of auto CR not working (checked my options and it is still selected), and the need to put characters into CR to repair from stasis lock even though they came out of their missions with 100% and 43% health...
Of course it couldn't work in reverse too could it. Wish the two characters who finished in stasis lock had miraculously risen up intact all on their own...

Loving not having to log in btw! Wondered before how long you had to leave a page inactive before it would make you sign in again - seemed to be somewhere around 20mins...

Ekhm...maybe it's just me but the Arena seems broken Links to live fighting and done battles don't seem to exist.

[Gargle Blaster]

It's not just you....I put two bots in a couple of hours ago but my main page says I have no recent arena battles

[Gargle Blaster]

Hmmm, and my character profiles say this lot in the arena box at the bottom

Warning: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /var/www/vhosts/seibertron.com/httpdocs/heavymetalwar/character.php on line 401

You do not currently have any arena logs available.

[Whisper]

Ekhm...maybe it's just me but the Arena seems broken Links to live fighting and done battles don't seem to exist.

XP and energon scores seem to be unaffected though...

[Absolute Zero]

There is no record of the battle you requested. The log may have expired, or you may have typed the address incorrectly. Please check the link and try again.

I get that on arena links for characters currently in the arena.

[Kaijubot]

I'm getting 404 Error pages when I try to access the game.

[Seibertron]

I made some adjustments which seem to be helping everything out now. Off to bed I go at 5:00am!

[Gargle Blaster]

Hmmm, mother confessor now has arena logs, but gets the above message where the mission logs should be...

Ah, sod it, who cares. She's earning xp and going straight to the cr chamber without me having to pick her up and put her there and that's the main thing!

PS Thanks Seibs - hope you got a decent amount of sleep!

Why is it that whenever you or Glyph say something like that I always see something like this having happened....

Seibs/Glyph: Well, time to add a new feature. Let's see... Add this line here....
*HMW Crashes*
Seibs/Glyph: That's not gonna work. Maybe here instead?
*Still down*
Seibs/Glyph: Nope... Hm.... How about adding that line here and then disabling this?
*HMW comes back up, but the boards go down*
Seibs/Glyph: Well, at least no one can post fifteen messages about the game being down. Let's try this again...
*The board stays down and HMW joins it.*
Seibs/Glyph: The hell with it.
*Puts everything back the way it was and calls it good.*

Is that anywhere close to the truth?

[Glyph]

Apparently the HMW battle tables messed up a bit, in an inaccessible-but-non-destructive way. Seibs ran a repair routine on them as I wasn't around at the time.

Nope - when I have to put everything back the way it was, I don't call it good.

Nah, in all seriousness, I don't usually just tweak a line here, a line there and hope for the best. HMW's just one of those things where you can't realistically test every aspect of your code before throwing users at it. Occasionally something which worked fine on my test setup brings the site to its knees when 50 users try to do it at once, or someone tries something that I didn't think of / have time to check / have the setups to test. Part of it is that I still don't have the innards of HMW looking as standardised and modulificated as I'd like them to be, or even as I think they need to be. New stuff sometimes interacts with old stuff in unexpected ways, or my HMW code and Ryan's site code try to pull in different directions. Those are the ones where we (or typically 'I', since HMW is subordinate to the site) just have to chalk it up to experience and either try it again another way or ditch it.

If you can read this, I am no longer having problems posting.

If you cant read this, then I still am.

[DISCHARGE]

I seem to be having trouble with the icons when I try to select
a new transformer. Half of them show up but the other half is just a white box with a description of it inside. I have noticed this for a couple days, since there has been no change
I figured I would find out if I am the only one.

[Gargle Blaster]

Hello,
sorry if this has already been brought up but we're having a bit of a logging out problem. I really should stress that I'm not complaining about this at all - I love not having to login every 20 minutes!

Anyway, logging out doesn't work - I'm permanently logged in, and have been for days, even after turning the computer on and off. While this isn't a problem for me, it is quite a problem for my boyfriend, who's slightly upset (read very very very upset) that he hasn't been able to play for days, as when he opens a browser he just gets my team and therefore can't log into his own. (mwahahahahaha)

He also wants me to add that this is the sole reason that my top bot has managed to get ahead of his top con in xp (rubbish, but he is quite adamant that I get that accross...)

If it becomes a problem, you could try clearing out your cookies see if that kicks you off.

[Windracer]

GargleBlaster, are you using Firefox?

The logout thing doesn't want to work for me either... only at my home PC, but at school I can logout just fine.

The only difference between the two computers, really, is that I'm using Firefox at home, and at school it's I.E... So maybe that has something to do with it...

[Gargle Blaster]

Nope - Internet Explorer. Clearing the cookies worked (thanks Netminder!) - I managed to log out, but now that I've logged back in tonight it seems that I'm staying in again. Apparantly I'm going to be removing cookies a lot...

Then again, have just got the latest version of IE, so maybe there's a setting somewhere that I need to change. Odd though, as haven't had anything like this with email etc.

[Tammuz]

the entire site's gone a bit times new roman for me...
