| Manage Puma Equipment - Sort Order Update | |
| Posted by JT_ on Nov 11, 2011 5:05 pm | |
| Sort Order is now active again on the Manage Equipment page for your Pumas! It was deactivated originally for a fairly serious bug, which now should be fixed! I had to adjust the way I was dealing with the sort order, but I think this will end up being better for everyone. :) Rather than up or down arrows, there is now a drop down Order menu for each item. You can choose the numbered order you would like for your items. There can be no duplicates however. So, you'll notice that when you choose "3" from the list for an item currently at "1", the item currently in position "3" will swap to position "1" automatically. It is a direct swap, and nothing else will be renumbered. In order to finalize your new sort order choices, you will need to press the "Apply" button which is above the list for each zone. :) If you notice any odd issues or think it is not behaving the way you expect, please feel free to create a topic in the Bugs area and I'll look into it! |

| IMPORTANT: Paradigm Bug Fixed | |
| Posted by JT_ on Nov 08, 2011 1:24 pm | |
| I had a report the other day that something was "off" about Paradigms. I was able to look into this bug today, and it is now fixed. The bug involved Pumas where a Marking was a Paradigm/Paradigm mix and the Marking itself was less than 100% strength. These Markings were not showing on the Puma image as their appropriate strength, but were correctly stored in the database (and correctly displayed on the Puma Profile). I can best explain with an example. :) Here is the Puma that Quad showed to me when she reported the bug: CLICK HERE As you can see in the Markings info area, Classic Tabby is at 53%, Flame Point is at 15%, Labyrinth is at 23%. At those strengths: • Classic Tabby should be half visible (53/100) • Flame Point should be barely visible (15/100 is not much!) • Labyrinth should only be *slightly* more visible (23/100-- not much!) These numbers are very important! And here is why. :) When Quad reported this Puma to me, it looked like this: INCORRECT STRENGTHS - ALL PARADIGM/PARADIGM MIX MARKINGS ARE SHOWING AT 100%  But this Puma *should* look like this based upon the correct strengths in the database: CORRECT STRENGTHS BASED UPON THE MARKING STRENGTH INFORMATION  As you can see, the Puma was erroneously showing 100% strength for markings that were very low. :) This has now been repaired, so you should reset the images of any Pumas you think might be affected. It's possible the image may have a drastic change (like the Puma above) if the Marking strength was very low (I'd say under 50% will probably be extremely noticeable). This is why the Markings info area on the Puma Profile is so important. :) It will tell you exactly how the Puma should look, even if there is a bug in the way images are generated. If you are unhappy with how your Puma now looks, feel free to send him/her through the Portal to a new land of safety-- there are no code bugs on the other side! :) |

| What's this I see? | |

It would appear the Fribbles are multiplying!   I've found these, but I think there are more too. :O Blame Quad! I think she fed them after midnight, or gave them a bath, or... There is also a new set of wristwatches from Pirran in the Boutique. Your Puma will never be late again! :)   |
