SM General Discussion / Delete spell error

« on: October 23, 2011, 10:44:44 PM »

When I click "give up and delete spell", I'm taken to an error page that says:

PDOException [ 23000 ]: SQLSTATE[23000]: Integrity constraint violation: 1451 Cannot delete or update a parent row: a foreign key constraint fails (`SM3`.`characters_spells`, CONSTRAINT `characters_spells_ibfk_2` FOREIGN KEY (`spell_id`) REFERENCES `Spells` (`id`))

BM General Discussion / Is it ever acceptable to plan things OOC?

« on: October 17, 2011, 03:21:51 PM »

So, is it?

I'm thinking of situations like a realm becoming silent and boring. Is it acceptable then to say "okay, things are getting boring, what would spice up the realm?". Not saying "let's all hate X realm", but instead asking for ideas on how to take a realm forward and make it more exciting for everyone.

I'm thinking more from the point of view of those in power, as it's the Council's job (and more so the ruler's job) to act as a sort of guiding hand to make sure everything in a realm is still fun for the other players.

Questions & Answers / "Accusations of cheating" case verdict becoming public?

« on: October 14, 2011, 11:08:54 PM »

As noted in the verdict, the OOC accusations have caused damage to the reputation to Toupellon and the players in it. I therefore ask that the decision be sent to everyone on the Far East island so that those who do not check the forum, but are aware of the situation, be told the decision so that it quells any continuing discussions and doubts about whether or not the secession was organised OOC.

Far East Island / Religious power rankings

« on: October 04, 2011, 11:22:03 PM »

Following the same line as the one for realms, I'd like to find out how we all think religious stack up for power.

I may be slightly biased as an elder of Adgharinism in saying that I think we're the most powerful, followed by The Order of The Elders, The Church of Sartan and then Magna Aenillia Ecclesia.

Adgharinism has Arcachon, most of Ohnar West, a large portion of Toupellon, some of Arcaea, and we even have a temple in Zonasa. We have two rulers, plenty of Lords, a few Dukes, some Ambassadors and a large lot of knights. I'd be interested to know how other religions stack up to this to see if I'm right about my list.

SM General Discussion / What is Certamen?

« on: October 01, 2011, 03:55:23 PM »

I've seen that word bandied about a bit and a quick Google search tells me it's "a form of non-lethal duelling between magi".

But how does it fit into SpellMaster?

Helpline / Different efficiency for same sized estates

« on: September 28, 2011, 05:24:32 PM »

In Fatmilak on Dwilight my Lord has a 50% estate and so does his knight. But the efficiency of the two estates is different: the Lord's estate is 82% efficient whilst the knight's estate is 84% efficient.

I tried resizing both estates to see if that made a difference and every time the knight's estate was 2% more efficient (until I reached 100%). I created a third estate and set all of the estates at 33%. The Lord's estate had 99% efficiency whilst the knight's and the empty one both had 100% efficiency.

I was playing around here: http://battlemaster.org/testing/GovernEstates.php if you needed the link.

SM General Discussion / Login from spell page bug

« on: September 28, 2011, 03:19:02 PM »

When I try to log in whilst viewing a spell (I was looking at this one), I get a few errors:

ErrorException [ Warning ]: Missing argument 1 for Info::view_spell()

ErrorException [ Notice ]: Undefined variable: id

ErrorException [ Notice ]: Undefined variable: id

An Error Was Encountered [ 500 ]

I've got the whole thing copied into a text file if you want me to send it to you.

Helpline / New noble starts as (rogue)

« on: September 26, 2011, 07:06:51 PM »

Figured I'd post this in case that character doesn't use the forums:

New Knight   (1 hour, 20 minutes ago)
A new knight has emerged from the ranks of the Madina nobles. Wolfsbane Leon is starting his career today. You can check the background of this family or send a welcome message.

Noble Joins the Realm   (1 hour, 15 minutes ago)
Wolfsbane Leon has joined your realm. He used to be a noble of Madina.

Noble Joins the Realm   (1 hour, 14 minutes ago)
Wolfsbane Leon has joined your realm. He used to be a noble of Madina.

I checked his background and it says he's a rogue still.

SM General Discussion / Missing spells

« on: September 22, 2011, 03:16:22 PM »

What types of spells are we missing? I feel like going on a creating spree, so I figured I'd concentrate on making types of spells that are missing so we've got a wide range of spells available on launch.

SM General Discussion / Research error

« on: September 20, 2011, 04:44:47 PM »

There's a bug when trying to research new spells. I can't copy the error here as it's 37 meg of text (according to notepad). But here's a link to it on my Dropbox account:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5673228/Research_Error_Dump.txt

You should just be able to download that like any other document.

SM General Discussion / How long to wait before moving on

« on: September 20, 2011, 10:52:32 AM »

I'm currently waiting for someone to respond in the Test RP thread, but how long do I wait? There's only so many stalling RPs I can write. I don't want to shut out other people, but then I don't want to wait so long it gets boring for those following the story.

BM General Discussion / IRC Event

I can't make it, but I'm interested in reading the questions other people ask. Will someone be able to copy the whole conversation onto the wiki so I can catch up?

Feature Requests / Send letter with caravan

« on: September 05, 2011, 05:13:28 PM »

I've often wanted to communicate with people I'm buying/selling food to/from, but since they're usually in a different realm I don't have the ability to send them a letter. I'd like to be able to attach a letter along with the food/gold that's only delivered when the caravan arrives. Possibly without the ability to reply and just to be used as flavour text. Something like:

"Fine Fatmilakian fish and berries, preserved with salt from the Panabuk mountains. Your next shipment shall arrive in two weeks time at the same price."

Helpline / Stuck caravans resolved?

« on: September 05, 2011, 02:54:43 PM »

I just noticed that the two caravans that I had stuck are now gone. How were they handled: were they just removed (losing food/gold)? Or were the end results of them enacted immediately and then removed (e.g. my caravan to Raviel was treated like it arrived there, sold the food and then arrived home)?

Just wondering how I'm going to roleplay this bug.

SM General Discussion / Spell ideas

« on: August 29, 2011, 02:14:54 PM »

I'm having a little trouble thinking of spell ideas. I've only managed 3 so far - one accepted, one sent for reworking acceptance, the other I'm still trying to rework. But I'm rather stumped about what other spells I'd like to see in the game.

Can anyone give advice on how you come up with spell ideas? And what you think makes interesting spells?
