Armory Patch 2 and Green Bars :o?

[Cynic]

Hey guys, a wee bit of a late-night treat for you all here at Aionsource

AionArmory - Second Patch!



It brings a smile to my face to announce AionArmory's second patch has just gone live, a big thanks to Nic (Sank) for his continued great work as the Armory's head developer. As usual you can submit feedback/bug reports/questions at our AA forum

Right off the bat you should have noticed the main page has changed and now sports a rather dashing young Asmodian, you may be seeing more of him very soon. Don't ask for details though, I'll take that secret to the grave


Bug Fixes:

• Crafting materials will no longer show recipes.
• Cooking items will no longer display incorrect values.
• Fixed some missing/hidden items (e.g. Od)
• All spells should have correct values now.
• General bug fixes in all areas.

Improvements/Additions:

• Users can now submit multiple item drops at a time.
• Users can now submit data edits which will go into an admin approval queue.
• Users can also submit new entries(right now only guides) that also go into an admin approval queue, further additions/tweaks pending.
• Items now include manastone/godstone stocks.
• Recipes now display required level.
• Items that start quests now show it on the item page, a filter has been added also.
• Title list now shows the quest required to obtain each title.
• Additional filters have been added for new item fields.
• Spell filters added.
• Description filter on items added.
• SpiritMaster spells now show which pet they are related to.
• Spells now state if they are stigma-based.
• Recipes show rarity, filter added.
• Weight-scale is now pinnable, upgrade tab on items.
• Items can now be marked as World-drops or faction zone specific.
• Enhanced editing bar for submissions (currently Guides)
• Syndication search box support.
• Latest edits menu added.
• More items have been marked for their particular race/faction.
• Latest edits/submissions added on user profiles.
• Hefty increase in item drop data.

Please note that if you are unable to see the new image on the Armory itself you'll probably need to clear your cache =)


Patch one can be found here.

AionArmory Editing Guide.

It would seem some people are a wee bit lost in regards to the recently introduced editing function so here's a quick writeup explaining it.

When visiting an item/npc/quest/etc you will notice a spiffy little button on the right called "Edit this Entry" By using this function users are able to manually add/change data within the Armory. Obviously the fields that show up will be relavent to the item, items will show fields such as "Level" and "Dropped From" while quests will have "Starting NPC" and walkthrough fields.

As stated in the patch notes any edits you make will be placed in the admin queue pending approval, hopefully you guys make good use of this feature =)

Aionsource.com - Reputation System

On not quite such a dramatic note I'm happy to let you guys know that we've finally gotten around to properly integrating the reputation system with Aionsource.

If you would all be so kind as to look at one of your posts and glance below the join date you'll notice a bar, the size/coloring of said bar will depend on how well people think you've been behaving during your time here at the Source

Just a brief overview for those of you unfamiliar with forum reputation, on the left-hand bar of every post under your avatar/userdata there are a few little icons. If/when another user sees a post of yours that they feel particularly strong about they can click the small set of scales located there and approve/disapprove of your post. There are limits to how much "reputation power" every user has to rep people although if you're an active member of the community and post a bit that shouldn't be too much of a problem.

While this has no world ending effect it does influence that magical reputation bar I just spoke of, positive rep turns the bar green and then proceeds to extend it while negative rep turns it red. To view the latest rep comments made on your profile just scroll up to the top of your screen and click My Account.

Just a word to the wise, abusive comments are not welcome in the rep system just like everywhere else. If you do have a particularly nasty rep comment just throw me a PM and we'll get that taken care of for you

And that about covers it folks, keep an eye out for that dashing Asmodian I mentioned before! You might be seeing a lot more of him soon

Later, Cynic <3

thanx for the bug fixes... i think i found all of those in 2 days of trolling that web site

[Sinnum]

it's late here in japan, yikes!

Anyway, now that you keep mentioning this 'dashing young asmodian' i want to know who he is

If we kill you, you can just rez at the spirit healer, effectively taking it to the grave [once]

[Symplexity]

So we can rep each other now?

[RomaFireheart]

I have a spectacular aura..

Anyhoo, back to updating the album and story. Nice work Cynic, now get some rest <3

[Keske]

Hey that's no fair how am I now ever going to convey to the Anime guy that he can have the ponder guy, but the bird guy is mine.

also I still want a refund of my rep for saying I wanted to have sex with you. I didn't find that fair at all.
Keske, the best Digimon there is.
