    Dev Diary #31

    Good decision, thanks for your hard work!
  2. Definitely a useful feature for server administrators. If this isn't added to the game, I'm sure someone will make a mod with something like this once modding support is available.
  3. Some good suggestions here, got my vote.

    Ylands Dedicated server software Steam

    The dedicated server software is still very much in early development. If you're interested in testing it out and providing feedback, send a private message to @Ane asking for access to the Dedicated Server Beta Feedback sub-forum, then she'll get you setup. Everything you need to setup your dedicated server is in that sub-forum, and it is also the proper place to provide feedback and ask for help regarding the dedicated server software.
  5. Attaching files, uploading Profile Photos, and probably other methods of uploading files, seem to be broken at the moment. When uploading a Profile Photo, I do see where it mentions the file size limit being 5kb, but the upload fails when using a PNG file that is 1.27kb in size. When trying to attach files to a post, it tries to work, but ends up failing, only showing a white box in the attachments section. If anyone else has noticed this issue, please upvote and reply to this topic.

    [Forum] File Uploading Broken

    It appears to be resolved, as demonstrated by this post.

    I was able to confirm this. It seems to only be an issue in Chrome.

    Whaling in the deep sea

    While I understand your point of view, and certainly agree that, in real life, we as human beings need to treat our environment way better than, I think your reply is a bit of an overreaction. I certainly would prefer not to kill whales, and would suggest that they not be required for progression within the game. I think it would only benefit the game, however, to add more life to the sea, whether that be whales, fish, or other sea creatures. @GrandPunkRailroad's suggestion on how whales would be handled may have been a bit overboard (excuse the pun), but I do at least think the concept of adding more more life to the sea would benefit the game.

    PC mode needed

    Did you make this thread as a serious suggestion, or just from frustration over some of the responses from the thread you've linked to? I think there is certainly room for discussion on a mode or setting that makes the game more kid friendly, and by all means, let it be discussed if there is an interest in it. If, however, you just made this thread to be divisive and cause tension within the Ylands community, I suggest you revisit the Community Guidelines. While I understand your point of view on the matter, I find your method of expression to be in poor taste. Please keep discussion civil and constructive.

    Request: Server Passwords being hidden

    Not a bad suggestion at all. Highly recommend using the correct upvote feature so this suggestion gets more attention.

    Hopefully someone with access to the forum's admin panel and knowledge of CSS sees this and implements the fix.

    What was your first videogame?

    That good 'ol Donkey Kong 64 on the N64. Good times...

    Sneak Peek #44

    That's definitely a step in the right direction. Personally, I can't wait for mod support. Mods for administration and grief prevention were essential to me in administrating a Minecraft server, and I have a feeling the same may be true with Ylands.

    Ylands.com not reachable

    Seems like someone broke something. We'll have to wait for the appropriate individual to wake up and fix it. lol And to be precise, it's ylands.com/community, the index of the forum, that is broken.

    Server Wipes

    Are you referring to the issue you've posted about previously? I'm not familiar with how popular these servers tagged "official" are, or how they are being operated, but my best guess is that they are using the latest release of the dedicated server software, which is still under development. From my observations, public servers with a handful of players connecting each day tend to have issues with save files being corrupted, or other problems which lead to crashes. This is to be expected at this stage in the software's development, as optimization and polishing is usually the last stage before release of any software, games included. Being that Ylands is still a game in development, our job as players is to provide as much constructive feedback as possible in order to help the developers improve the quality of the game. Some good news, however, is that the Ylands Team has been rolling out more updates to the server software in the past week, so we may see some improvements in stability. If you do continue to notice issues with save corruption, or anything else for that matter, please share constructive feedback about it here on the forum. By contributing in this fashion, we'll help make Ylands the best it can possibly be.

    [Suggestion] Can we get a planning tool?

    Anything that involves more precise building, I'm completely for. I very much enjoy my straight lines when building.

    From what I've gathered, it seems to be javascript-related. Nothing I did with CSS seemed to have much affect on the z-index of the dropdown. However, when I changed the z-index of main.ipsLayout_container to -1, the dropdown appeared on top and could be interacted with. Unfortunately, having a value of -1 does not allow you to interact with anything inside the element, such as links. Setting the value to 0 made the dropdown appear behind everything else, and no change to the dropdown's CSS seemed to change that. I'll continue messing with it, but hopefully my findings can help someone figure out a proper solution. EDIT: We have a solution. Big thank you to @Dustin Pianalto for locating the offending element.

    Suggestion: options for generating explore map

    Yes, +1 to this suggestion.

    Dedicated Server FAQ

    There are no access codes. Anyone who wishes for access to the beta should private message https://ylands.com/community/profile/25-ane/ in order to be granted access. Once she receives your message, she will grant you access to the Dedicated Server sub-forum where you can find the server software, as well as instructions on using it.
  21. @Avantica Your issue seems to have something to do with Nitrado's configuration. I can't speak for how their restart system works, as it's not a feature of the Ylands Dedicated Server software, so your only bet for resolving this issue is to discuss it with Nitrado support. As a side note, the Ylands Team has previously asked that hosting providers do not yet offer Ylands hosting for these sorts of reasons. The server software still has a lot of problems, and it hasn't been deemed ready for commercial use. @UniteTheClans I'd have to say the same in your case. Speaking with G-Portal is your best bet here, as there's not much we here can do to assist.

    Demo? Trial? Where is it?

    Please don't promote the use of cracked game versions, especially on the game's official forum.
  23. I've seen bots spamming the forum a couple times now, and the reason I see for this happening is that no captcha is required when creating a BI account. Please pass this suggestion on to the proper individual(s) at Bohemia, it's really frustrating to see this forum be plastered with spam posts. If you support this, please make sure to up vote this suggestion.

    ReCaptcha for Forum Accounts?

    I could see that being easily abused, even unknowingly. Just because a post is downvoted, the user shouldn't be blocked. When the forum gets bigger, I can definitely imagine it being relatively easy for an active user to get that many downvotes on a singe post in one day.

    ReCaptcha for Forum Accounts?

    Okay, so I see there is a ReCaptcha required for new accounts when they post or make a new thread, but we can see that's not working for whatever reason. My question now is, how are these bots making accounts? Are they using Bohemia's account system, or are they signing in via another service (e.g. Steam, Google, Twitter, etc.)? Is ReCaptcha required for all accounts under a certain number of posts, or only accounts made using Bohemia's account system? If it's the latter, they could just have a bunch of accounts, maybe Google accounts, made for this specific purpose. That would make it easy for them to continuously change account, change IP address, then sign in again to continue posting. Edit: Feel free to merge this post with the above post, didn't realize I was the last one to post on this thread.
