New Feature: HWS AI

@everyone

With the great help of mike you can now use @ai Your Question about anything HWS related (for example “@ai What is the current Market price of Alien Core?”) in global chat to get dynamic context based answers all about HWS. (data fetched from Forum, Discord, RE, HWS Connect, Patreon, Buddy, Guide)

This is a first iteration of giving you a smoother experience, especially for new players.

In the future more is possible (e.g. working with your ingame data)

HWS Connect

  • fixed date sorting for Player Activity
  • fixed Wanted Lifespan was not clear (that it is bound to your EB level)
  • fixed Online Players displayed wrong cached data
  • streamlined the date format for all date related tables (Com Center, EB History, etc.)

HWS Servers

  • disabled new HWS AI feature in global chat. It is now only possible to use in Faction and Server Chat per request: Discord
  • readded SRW but disabled MicroJump in PvP playfields (have to check where they added the error that it isn’t working right now)
  • fixed TEAMS gave not used Armor Boosters out (you can ignore those if you got them already)
  • fixed Collector Instance Dialogue was missing

Note about the RE patch released today (which I will merge / apply tomorrow)

It is adding a new feature “Dynamic LCDs”
A copy paste Dialogue version from ASTICs mod, showing you ship stats like Fuel, Oxygen, etc.
While ASTICs mod is garbage in terms of performance for big servers, this implementation is also raising red flags, using a recursive timer Dialogue function that was originally intended for one (event) structure showing a cooldown timer for a mission for example.
We / I have to see how it would impact the performance when let’s say 20 ships with that stuff is parked near the EGS HQ POI and each of them doing such calls…

General

  • changed how EGS Ship Jump works due exploits/issues: you now have to sit in a cockpit to be able to use this feature (as it was originally intended). For that a new check was added if you are really a pilot. It was a bigger change, so please let me know if all works as it should

HWS RE

  • first merge of the latest RE patch. Not fully done yet, the full merge will happen today with the 18:00 restart (will edit this message then)
  • fixed more Stargate Mission exit destinations (more to come this week)
  • fixed that HWS AI Alliance chat response was sent in Global Chat

Edit: can’t make it today unfortunately. Tomorrow 10:00

HWS Connect Changelog | Live with the 20:00 announcement today

<@&273540914318802944> <@&1444237017708756992> <@&1444237190375804948>

HWS Dashboard / HWS Vote / HWS Daily / HWS Connect Skill Tree redesign

  • it’s more modern, sci-fi themed and more clear than before
  • Increased HWS Connect Skill Tree from 50 to 90 days to match one season (long community request)
  • HWS Connect Skill Tree deserves its own page than a popup
  • To keep the loop / connection between Daily Loot and the Skill Tree, as soon as you claim one Daily Loot package, you get notified in the sidebar that you have an unspent Skill Tree (badge system you know from Discord etc.)

HWS Connect / Server Changelog

<@&273540914318802944> <@&1444237017708756992> <@&1444237190375804948>

  • Implemented our first HWS Cross Game Rewards feature (not active yet). This is a very old idea from me, I will do for my future games / mobile games as a very unique marketing and reward strategy for you. You get reward X if you play on other HWS games and vice versa. As always optional but something you can do at least. As you know I really honor the time you spent in life, on my servers, so you should get a bit more in return as normal if it’s about your time you want to enjoy.

  • Added HWS Garage ships

HWS Server Changelog

<@&1444237017708756992> <@&1444237190375804948>

  • finally… the Garage spawning process got almost fully automated now. All Garage ships are spawned on all servers now.

Before:

  • I spawn ships
  • I set ships as garage ship
  • I fuel ships
  • EAH uses these exported data files (fuel, etc.)
  • I delete spawned ship
  • EAH spawns the ship with the exported data
  • this works within a season. In the next season the exported data files are broken due id shifts, so I would need to repeat all 6 steps for each ship for each server.

Now:

  • I put the .epb file from you/submission to a specific named folder
  • EAH spawns that .epb file and auto fuels them to 100% (Oxygen, Fuel, Pentaxid)

This is a massive win, where we can have Garage Ships now automatically be spawned from Day 1 after a full wipe (unless some fundamental block changes were made / blocks removed etc.)
