Mine the new atmas first

[Julian]

Unless it's hidden somewhere in the dats, the key item description of Atmas don't say anything about what they do.

[Nightfyre]

Mine faster! /whipcrack

Really though thanks in advance to everyone mining the update.

[Xanthe]

Atma descriptions can be pulled from zone dialog. Of course nothing is getting mined until they bring the update servers back up.

[Julian]

Want up-to-the-second information on the update?

Come visit BG IRC!

#bluegartrls on irc.gamesurge.net

edit: OK, found atma descriptions, guess I'll just do them manually for this update

[Guitarman]

still not able to cheese the update with check files. hmm.

[Hanyoko]

I'm sure someone will beat me to it (@work) but I have routine built to extract the atma. Previously used to make the bg-wiki atma page. I've since added a compare to indicate what changed between the two patches.

Side note: I hope they fix the incorrect atma descriptions

As for the the structure: grab a dialog table from an abyssea zone, look at the key items. In the past the order they appear matches up.

Atma start @ dialog index 4410 and @ key item index 1047

*edit*
The new atma should start at dialog index 4470 [key item index 1105] and be the next 30 (or 40 as there is space for 40)
The WoTG atma should be dialog index 4516 [key item index 1431]

IF only I remember the irc name for firefox

[Malacite]

Or head over to Alla for those of us sick of waiting

* This maintenance will be accompanied by a version update. After maintenance is complete, the update will automatically begin after you press the "Play" button. After that, please follow the instructions on the screen.

does this mean they won't allow updates during maintenance ? first time they write this line in a maintenance page as far as i know

[Xanthe]

That's nothing new.

[Julian]

That would be really annoying, but kind of smart of them. I guess we'll see.

edit:

still no update to download

[Xanthe]

To be fair, we still don't have patch notes. Update will probably be available when those go up.

[Fou-Lu]

IT'S LIKE CHRISTMAS MORNING

[Yugl]

Lots of notes to type. Translators are probably crying because with the old SE team, they could walk in 5min before work and copy pasta "_______ has been adjusted" five times and be done. Now they actually have shit to do.

Thanks, that made my day, rofl.

Let's see which team has more comprehensive update details.

[Narse]

I have an issue at work where I can't download the update. I dunno what is going on, but it started with the pre-update patch, and I had initially assumed that it was server traffic, but 3 days later and a couple hours of attempts later it was the exact same issue.

For me, it sits on the "Downloading the latest version's information..." screen, at 0%, Time Remaining: Unknown and never moves. I was able to manually copy the update files from my home PC and paste them to my game copy at work and get around the update, after which I was able to play just fine. I don't know if this is a firewall issue, or what (I used to be able to update at work just fine, and I can still PLAY fine after I get the game updated)... does anyone have any information as to what could be causing this/how to fix it?

[Meropi]

Is there a way to extract atma descriptions? or just the titles? @60% now
