A quick update - November 24th
Posted: Mon Nov 25, 2019 1:13 am
Hey everyone, I'm here to post a quick update. Trading is probably 95% done now. You can successfully create, send, accept, modify, and manage trades. All the rules are in place like we had before for locking trade groups, friends only, and all that. You can also create a trade from the Trading Post by searching out a user right there.
I've also been building some admin tools for managing the site, had to fix bad data issues with the currency transactions, and had to update the forums to the latest version. The latest version was actually not compatible with my php version, so I had to fix a few bugs in there to make it work.
Currently I'm still trying to finish up things with trading, man it's been one of the most complex part of all this. I still need to add those "Pets on my wishlist" groups. Then there's a bug with the login system. The login logic is a bit janky since it's tied to the phpBB forum login, so I'm going to try and find a more stable solution for that that doesn't require everyone to sign in to both the forums and Eldemore.
I'm also working on a better design of our event cinematic system, something that will hopefully be a lot more manageable than our last. The current event cinematic system is great, but it was a big pain to get those stories coded in. Trying to make something that's easier to work with and will allow users to replay scenes later. Can't promise this will be available on launch day, but it's a big part of our site.
For now, just know that work is always ongoing. Thanks for the continued words of encouragement, it is nice to see others holding out hope. I'll keep updating as more gets completed.
