Public Breeding - Reactivated
Posted by JT_ on Nov 29, 2011 5:03 pm
All righty, Public Breeding should now be functioning correctly. All of your Puma's breeding statuses (price & info) should be restored.

I had to get the breeding info from a backup from yesterday that was unaffected by the error, so any Pumas you may have priced for public breeding since yesterday late morning will need to be re-priced. Sorry about that!

It is best to double check any Pumas you have changed yesterday or today, to be sure that your changes have been implemented. This error only affected the Public Breeding Options of Pumas.


Public Breeding - Currently Disabled
Posted by JT_ on Nov 29, 2011 3:06 pm
There has been an error with breeding info for public breeding (prices and info). I am in the process of fixing it, and replacing the data for all of your Pumas that were set to be available for breeding.

The Public Breeding Options page is currently disabled-- please do not try to set your Pumas available for breeding at this time.

Thanks! I'll post another news announcement when the problem has been fixed.

What's that in the bag?
Posted by JT_ on Nov 22, 2011 1:48 pm
It looks like the Enviro-Collector has a few new environments hiding in her bag. I wonder what they could be... ;)

In addition, she has retired 5 older environments:

• Showtime Heat
• Showtime Aqua
• Summer Day
• Summer Night
• Sunstain Jade


Enjoy!


Candies and Sweets!

Better go visit the Sweeties Shoppe! I heard they got a bunch of brand new candies in from Quad, Yam, Pirran, and Toby. :)

You should also check the Environments shop, since Macleod made a few beautiful sunsets for your Pumas to enjoy. :) Here are a couple:

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
paradigmparadigm_correct.png



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?
Posted by JT_ on Nov 07, 2011 7:18 pm
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! :)
