[KoRupdate][news] Where?

Still working through the files, still making changes. I’ve made a lot of progress, but I am trying not to rush. I’ve been making things work better, tidying things up, making the queries faster etc. Its all going to be worth it in the end, no matter how long it all takes.

I’ve also been making changes to this blog, added more pages above, and trying to put things in better order. All News will show on the front page and in the news page. All gameplay videos will go to their own page, not to front, same with gaming stuff I post and the new skintgaming page, which I hope to do things with too.

Server status

Status

Server was down for a little while. Its back up now, I don’t see any problems caused. First time its crashed in 385 days so we should be rejoicing that.

[KoRupdate] slippage

Its inevitable now that I won’t meet any deadlines. So from now on there is no deadline. It will be ready when it is ready. To many changes I want to make and too little chance of knowing how long it will take.

[KoRupdate] Beta

Not long now before I will have to admit defeat and release the beta ;) My plan is to release it as kor.zeroshadow.com as a beta it will be reset daily at first, so things can be tested out. Then I may leave it a week or so to see what happens to stats and things. I hope to have the beta phase find all of the bugs, or problems that the rewrite may have caused. Once the phase is over, I will point the kor domain at the new game and reset it for release. Now I have to get back to it, as I only have a little more time, gulp!

[KoRupdate] Ideas, not telling

Had this great ideas the last week, tonight I had a think about it, and I have a way to do it. Will try it and see if it works as I want it. If so, it will be something people will be happy about, some anyway. Will say more once I have played with some code and got something working, if it ever works.

Still working my through the updates to files etc. Been updating every script 1 after the other, redesigning the look, adding new stuff, making them more sensible, etc. If this new idea, above works out though, I may be able to start showing bits of the beta code sooner than I originally intended. Not promising anything though.

Also added above to the menu links to the classic games. If you want to see KoR from day 1 then the classic version is there ready for you, go on, have a look how things changed over 6 years. Also Romecom, warlord ages are there too. Go take a look, play them that is what they are there for.

[KoR/RC/WLAclassic] Argued! Lots of shouting! Stamping of feet!

Ok. So I’ve been reluctant to let go, I never wanted to let go, if KoR was going to continue, I did not see why the classic games could not continue too. Well I think I may have won. I’m not sure, I’ve been married for 18 years, its difficult to tell even now, lol.

KoRclassic, RCclassic and WLAclassic will continue to run as they are. I will add back the donation packs, please support them, please use them, please let me know what they need to keep them up in the future. RC and WLA can be changed, I am not sure the KoRclassic can be anything more than a memory of the 2006 version, but I will keep the others moving forward. Let me know what you think, let me know if its worth putting any effort into them.

[KoRupdate] Reset version status 0007

Working on lots of design ideas for a new layout for the game, to make us look more friendly, but trying to not be too outlandish. This may not even happen yet, as I have so much other work I want to do at the same time, but eventually it will.

The clans idea is coming along really well so far, not done any coding yet, but I have a plan drawn up for how it will work, the defences have gone through a few changes now, but I think they will work better the new way, thanks to wicked’s ideas she keeps me on the ground, and shows me that some ideas can be better with a bit of outside input.

I’m not ready to put a beta site up yet, still far too many errors on pages etc, as I’ve been stripping stuff out and organising how things are stored to make it easier to find stuff. 6 years of age meant, I put stuff here and there as I did updates and some seem very illogical now as I work through them again. We live to learn.

Hope everyone enjoyed the Easter events, hope to do a lot with those the coming years, in new ways.

More tomorrow, I promise.
