Okay, this is the second time now so I'm reporting - I think however Subeta's new login works is screwing up when we add things to SL.

I'm trying to do the most recent CWs and it's just...not adding some. If I go back and redo the numbers it will add different ones that it skipped (hopefully) but it's just...only grabbing info for half of them and then I have to manually fix the icons and overlays and layers and such. I don't know if there's a way to work around their wonky but I think that might be whatever screwed up Lypsyl's adds for the recent quest shop stuff too.

I did attempt to ask Keith when they first announced the changes if that was going to affect SL but he never replied.

[edit] I've had to submit the item numbers 3 times and I think I have now gotten all of them to add to SL but I'm not sure, going to check now and see how much data I have to fix =/

[edit] There are 34 CWs I have to input the CI and overlay for and add layers and info to.

If you click it should go bigger so you can see what it's looking like when I try to add things.

Alright, new post.

I tried to add items something like 4-5 times using the entire number range. Also, as I'm editing, our end for some reason isn't showing me all the ones without full info in a list like it did last time I added CWs a couple days ago (instead of going in order, it's skipping over several).

Completely missing every time was the

I had to add those 3 times alone (just that item number) before they would add. And I still have to add in the CI and overlay and layer info manually.

Something on here is blocking our database from accessing correctly.

[edit] skipped also, had to try 3 times to add this one as well but at least this item loaded with it's info.

[edit] One more skipped item: - this one only took one try to manually add on it's own and did gather all the info at least.

: Ugh. Yeah, it is definitely possible that the new login system is messing things up for us. That may have something to do with the trouble had with Quentin's quest items. I'll look into it. Thanks for letting me know.

edit: Major grumbles. It's not just the new login system. Keith's turned on Cloudflare protection again. The 'skipping' items is because those times Cloudflare decided to reply with a captcha instead of the item info that we were trying to retrieve. This is the sort of thing that Bug would have taken care of immediately, but Keith won't be bothered.

-- further update. I think I've figured out a workaround, but it's going to be a big change. Probably a couple of days for me to rewrite the code -- and it'll require an extra step when adding items. (Sorry about that, but I'm not optimistic that the Cloudflare problem will go away on its own.)

Bear with me.

that sucks, but at least now we know what's going on.

And if we have to add an extra step, well no biggie! I remember the days of having to TYPE stuff in, like descriptions!

It's definitely not on you but I'm not surprised it's subeta that's causing the issue. The cloudflare thing is so annoying.

Also I'm with - if we have to do it the old fashion way that is okay, when Georgie recruited me I had to manually enter the CIs and overlays and layers so I can do it again or I can do extra steps if that's necessary.

Also Lypsyl I love your new HA!

Bit of an update: the Cloudflare protection seems to be linked to retrieving overlay information. I've done some testing and I only get a captcha when trying to retrieve the hover info for a wearable item or a tree ornament -- something that has an image as part of the hover info. I can reliably get hover information for books, plushies, etc.

The workaround that I've got for wearables is to use the wardrobe XML, like we do for mass-add to clothing collections, to supply the overlay info. I don't have a good workaround for tree ornaments, but there aren't many of those, and if I have to handle those manually, so be it.

Still working on rewriting the code, but I'm hoping to have it ready before the August collection comes out so that we can use that for testing.

Thank you for trying to work us around this, I know it's a giant pain in the ass. If we have to do manual I can deal with it for sure.

-- the August collection should come out today. Let me use that to test out the new code. (Y'all can write the news post if you want to, though!)

-- Whew.

We have working mass-add code again. (The 'add CW' code is coming real soon -- it's just a tweak on the regular code now that it's working.)

The process for mass-adding is just a little different, but I'm sure you can figure it out. There are two pages to the mass-add screen now -- the first one just loads items into a queue, without actually adding them. The second page process the queue -- and it's a bit on the slow side (it's getting around the cloudflare protection that's slowing it down). Expect a 2-3 minute wait on the second screen. I've got an idea for speeding it up a little, but wanted to go ahead and have something ready tonight.

Thanks for being patient!

edit: The add CW code is working too now.

Thank you very much ❤️ Sorry I haven't been around, it's been hell week at my work (I was basically the only office employee and I had to set up and launch our entire sale - I'm very exhausted). I appreciate you sorting this out.

-- that sounds like a rough week. They're lucky to have you.

They usually are pretty appreciative at least now.

The Battle Stars (Earth, Fire, Ice, Light, Psychic) are marked as infinite use, but someone reported to me that they're single use. Can someone confirm this?

When you click on the weapons in inventory they do say: Weapon Information One Use

Then I tested in battle to be sure.

You scored a critical hit, doubling your damage! Your Fire Battle Star burns up the atmosphere as it slices through the air and charges towards your opponent! Oh, no! Your Fire Battle Star has broken forever!

You scored a critical hit, doubling your damage! You make purge darkness as you launch your Light Battle Star at your opponent! Oh, no! Your Light Battle Star has broken forever!

Checked, and after they were no longer in my armory.

So confirmation :).

-- thanks! I keep forgetting that you can put a weapon in inventory and check it that way. Except for BQ's, I don't battle much, and I mess with my armory about as often as I mess with my avatar. ;)

(P.S. Thanks for uploading the tigrean images!)

No problem.

Yeah putting a weapon in inventory and checking works fine, but more often than not I don't actually own a weapon that needs checking and its too expensive to buy. So not surprising you didn't think of it.

In this case I save up and hoard the stars because they are often asked for in Malaria quests, so I had several spare on hand. And they are also cheap enough to buy to test even if I didn't have a bunch.

, , - Hey everyone. I wanted to let you all know that I'm alive and back from grad school. I'm fallen out of love with Subeta though. I've been done with school for two weeks now and I'm just now bringing myself to come on here, and that's only because I have unreleased and unsubmitted CWs sitting on my laptop. I don't know how much I'll be around anymore. We'll see if being back home re-sparks my interest.

Welcome back from grad school! I do hope that some time after decompressing and readjusting to being home will make you enjoy being here again, but I will absolutely understand if it does not hugs

-- Understandable. There's not much to love here these days, but you have a place here for as long as you continue to want it.
