Hi folks!

We got a small post-last-minute fix from D'Lanor that could go into the MOULa update next week if it gets tested soon.

Please see this link for details and subscribe to the thread if you'd like to receive notices regarding Minkata shard updates:

If you can test, please do after reading rarified's post. Follow the link within his post for greater detail about how.

The Minkata test shard will be brought into synchronization with MOULa 1.912 tomorrow.

You will need to update some files in your Minkata installation folder from a current MOULa installation.
See this posting for details.

Thanks for the heads-up rarified..

The update is complete and Minkata is back up.

Edit 1: We have a long list of pending goodies that will soon be appearing in Minkata. Keep checking back

Rarified (and Foundry) who lives in the Colorado Springs area where the Waldo fires have grown so huge had to evacuate last evening. It is unknown when Foundry (and Minkata, the OU test shard) will be back up. We'll be waiting as long as it takes and - the only thing that's truly important - wishing safety, health and the best of fortune to rarified and his home.

I'll just add that if anyone would like to post good wishes for Rarified, his family, and his home or keep up with the news about them, you can do so on the OpenUru forum where we've sort of hi-jacked the Possible Foundry Outage announcement thread for that purpose.

Terrible news. Hope he'll be alright.

Thank you very much, JWPlatt, what a relief to know him safe and sound and cared for
for the time being ... I've just posted over on the OpenUru forums under the link given by
Tai'lahr above ... Hang in there, rarified, we're all with you and await your safe return ...

And that is *very* good the hear news!!

I met a guy staying with relatives here, after his home in the Pike's Peak region was evacuated out there.

I remember the wildfires here in Florida, it's terrifying have quickly those things can spread in the right conditions!

@rarified: Great to hear your safe, and back with us!!!

I've just pushed an update for Minkata to the game server, bringing it up to build Minkata.60. The current status of the update can be found here.

There is one more piece to add to the update (tomorrow), but most of the changes are available now.

There has been a significant update to the avatar physics on the Minkata shard:

rarified wrote:

Avatars now jump consistently, regardless of cpu speed. Fixes unexpected camera transitions with entering/exiting some subworlds. (Teledahn elevator) Fixes a jitter in animated subworlds. (Er'cana harvester) Dynamic controllers are correctly positioned on the ground. (Jalak) Much improved interaction with dynamic physicals.

and the OU team is hoping to have it thoroughly tested in time to be included in the next MOULa update, so we need testers, lots of testers to do lots of testing. And, we're going to try to make it lots and lots of fun for them with a party at the end.
See my post on the OpenUru forum for more details.
