The Frosthaven Fray 2024 Results
Published Date 2024-12-18T12:44:08

After a very long deliberation on the matter, as well as some back and forth on the matter, the results of the Frosthaven Fray 2024 Mini-Tournament are in!
4th Place - Tork.
3rd Place - Melita.
2nd Place - Sabin.
And the winner of this years Frosthaven Fray is Nerene!

Congratulations to all of the combatants. None of the duels were easy for The Deputy Team to judge, as they were all pretty evenly matched. The long deliberation was due to the fact that so many of these duels were head-to-head the entire time.



Congratulations again to Nerene!

The Frosthaven Fray 2024
Published Date 2024-12-09T14:27:14

Our mini-tournaments have been pretty popular, so here is information for the fourth.
This tournament has something special in place: a randomizer.
Participants will have a random, non-permanent affliction generated for them at the beginning of the duel. including this affliction is mandatory
The affliction will go away after the duel ends.

Duels will be judged by The Deputy Team instead of the AoJ this time, so there will be no feedback offered on duels.

There are FOUR (4) slots available unless enough people sign up where a full tournament can be held. I require EIGHT (8) participants to hold a full tournament. This may possibly be subject to change.

The pair-ups will be determined by dice roll (specifically, /roll 20).

Tournament Rules

1. All duels must be completed in the Frosthaven Arena. (Clarification: Leaving the arena in your post can get you disqualified.) If you are unsure where this is, ask me. You can also type twist to frosthaven if you have a glass ring, then type frosthaven map to bring up a link to a map you can look at to find your way to the Arena.
2. No godmoding or autohits. If you don't know what these are, please ask. You can also use the /roll 10 command if you'd like to, but it isn't mandatory.
3. You must include whatever affliction arises from the randomizer in your post for the duraction of the duel. You will be judged on how your character reacts to the affliction.
4. If you are a shifter that can change or turn someone into what you are, then you are not allowed to do anything that would achieve that result, aka, no turning your opponent into a shifter. This also includes vampires/vampirism.
5. Please keep the climate/surroundings in mind.
6. Inflicting further maladies upon your opponent is okay, but it cannot be anything permanent/lasting beyond one round.
7. No disrespect of the judges and/or combatants is allowed. Disrespect can be defined as complaining about their judgment, belittling an opponent's win, or bad attitude surrounding a loss. If this rule is broken, you will be barred from future tournaments hosted by yours truly. Obviously, this is an OOC rule.
8. Please try to keep posts between 15-20 minutes. A timer bot has been added to our discord server that will send a notification when it runs out. It has the time left on it for reference, so be sure to check frequently. Going over your allotted time can lead to disqualification, at the discretion of the judges.
9. Have fun!

Tournament Prizes

 WINNER
1. 10,000 Gold.
2. A port to the road, and a port to a place of your choosing.

RUNNER UP
1. 5,000 Gold.

Please request entry as a combatant by December 14th, 2024 so that we can hopefully get the tournament started by December 15th, 2024 if you wish to participate. If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out to me!

Spectators are welcome for all duels! If you're interested in watching, the Karchan Discord Server is the best place for updates on the mini-tournament, in addition to combatants planning when to duel. I highly suggest looking at the 'tourney' channel there as things progress. If you have read this far and wish to sign up for the tournament, you need to send a MUDmail to Victoria with the character you plan on participating.

Hope to see you all there!

The space below will be where I keep the image with the lineup, once people have signed up and have executed their rolls to determine who fights who:

Release notes - version 2.0.14
Published Date 2024-08-24T13:16:28

Highlights

fixed logon message for guilds
html tags are processes as usual again.

Release Notes

  • Fixed #255 Logon Message Html
  • Fixed #257 Still cannot delete bots
  • Fixed #256 Item Deletion/Browser Incompatibility - created a workaround (still don't know what the problem is), fill in the iteminstanceid and press delete button.
  • templates admin pages can now also show the old versions of the templates.
  • template admin pages can now display the difference between an old template and a new template. I needed this to retrace what changes I made and why, so I can undo changes that do not work and such. (Templates are the things used to create webpages, so now you know.)
  • added a link so we can jump to the room from a character in the character admin pages. Convenient.

High regards,

Release notes - version 2.0.13
Published Date 2024-08-14T06:56:56

Highlights

afk command added
It's now possible to indicate if you are away from your keyboard (and why). This will show up as a badge in the who-list.
shops and shopkeepers
Deputies couldn't make shops/shopkeepers/shoppinglists for a (very) long time, because of bugs and missing functionality in the item admin pages. Fixed.
changes to software architecture
In the past, the game engine would translate information from the database into HTML for displaying on the webpage. Over time this has changed somewhat. With the arrival of Javascript frameworks, nowadays it?s a better idea to just send the data over the line as JSON and have JavaScript on the client side (the web browser) make something pretty with it. So this is a proces that is also continually happening here. Why do I tell you this? Because reasons.

Release Notes

  • added information on when a person logged onto the game (minutes and seconds ago). Will only show this in-game in who-list.
  • removed colour "human" from colours. (replaced with black, which is teh default)
  • added a menu called "Command reference". It shows all possible commands (if an explanation has been entered in the help pages).
  • Fixed #237 Bad Expression/Admin Command Precedence
  • Fixed #254: "Teal" font color messed up?
  • replaced description text input field in the manpages admin page with a textarea field
  • Fixed #250 : Wiki Feature Requests - it is now possible to search the wiki and deputies can delete a wiki page if necessary.
  • Fixed #252 : Deputies Pinning Board Posts
  • Fixed #249 : Chatline Users - deputies can now see all the players that have subscribed to a specific chatline
  • Fixed #247 : Sort Characters by Guild - deputies can when they view a guild, see all guild members in that guild.
  • Fixed #232 : Changing God - changing god is still impossible, but deputies can delete a bot and recreated it with the proper god setting.
  • Fixed #251: Sent Folder Tab - this should no longer be secretly hidden unless you mouse over it
  • Fixed #242: Dark Mode Button in Game - under Settings
  • Replaced the logonmessage HTML string with a proper Logonmessage class. Also means that as of now, there's no HTML tags allowed in guild logonmessage. Sorries.
  • Fixed #241 : AFK Button
  • Added support for viewing item instances of item definitions in the adminpages.
  • Fixed #234: Discriminator 1 Does Not Work
  • Fixed #253: Can't Put These Items in a Container?
  • Added a Transform to a Person, and a graphics rest client for manipulating the Transform.
  • Added a minimum and maximum and center Position to a Room, this enables me to determine in which room a person is, based on their Transform.
  • Angular - router linking to the same component with different ids doesn't work. Had to add a listener to the params of the route.
  • RxJS has deprecated publishReplay and refCount. See the link. https://rxjs.dev/deprecations/multicasting#publishreplay
  • RxJS has deprecated subscribe without the config object. See the link. https://rxjs.dev/deprecations/subscribe-arguments
  • updated karchanpersonal to the new angular 18
  • updated karchanadmin to the new angular 18
  • obviously upgraded to the latest Payara Microprofile
