Don't know if anyone else is experiencing such problems but I cannot access Furc with any of my accounts. For every single one it says "Whops, the username and password didnt match".
|
It was a temporary downtime, but everything seems to be working fine.
|
Another Oddworld Dream shut down :/. Or I just woke up at 7:20 eastern time...
|
Sorry about that, my computer crashed while I was at school. It's back up now. =)
Don't worry about temporary downtimes. If I don't say anything here about it, it probably happened while I was away from home and won't last more than a few hours, so no worries. The first thing I do when I get home is check to make sure that Oddworld is uploaded, and if it isn't, I fix it. I do apologize for the inconvenience though. |
Hulaabeo, please stop posting so many times in this thread. We've discussed dream downtime a million times and we know it happens and will alwyas get cleared up shortly. If its been several days, fine, but if its only been down a few hours you don't have to post here.
Also, we don't need constant updates about what you've been doing in the dream. Great if you're having fun but you don't need to keep telling us. |
Ok I will shut up Splat
|
Wooooow, lots of downtime while I switched computers (permanent switch). I just finished recovering the dream files from my old HDD and things should now be just as reliable as you remember. :)
I have to admit that there will probably be a delay in any dream progress from me; I have a number of things I need to get done now that I have access to my files again. Spring break begins April 9th and I may get some work in then. No talk of what everyone wants to see? Reiterate! Motivate me! So far what's fresh on my mind are sounds... |
Well (and you asked) It'd be nice if you looked into possession a bit.
You could also look into having different locations on different maps(I.E scrabania, paramonia, feeco(best place to get to industrial areas) moonsanic lines, RuptureFarms SoulstormBrewery.) Just a thought! |
Sorry, those two things are just not feasible at the moment... Furcadia's scripting is not advanced enough to function with possession, and we have limited map space so that means no new areas (at least, no new big ones.)
Sorry! |
I still want to see that front entrance go somewhere :p. If the door really has no significance you ma as well remove it!
(Oh, and it's great to see you back! I was starting to worry!) Vykker sprite update!!! |
Also maybe some teleporters for Sligs? Who can't chant?

Man I haven't been on the game in a while let alone the forums, so whats new with the game?
|
Server has been up and down a lot. I think some new features are being added.
|
well thats cool ^.^
|
So much down-time seems to have effectively killed the dream.
|
The dream will be back on Wednesday. Sorry for not keeping everyone updated, I didn't mean to make you worry. Embarrassingly enough, my laptop (which I purchased not two months ago) had crashed and I lost everything on it. I'm having to fall back on my old HDD for my files and it is again inaccessible to me. Starting Wednesday, the dream should be back and running '24/7' as it once wonderfully was.
The only 'news' that I can offer at the moment is Furcadia news and it is sort of bad for us: Furcadia updated, and it was nothing that I was expecting. In the DS area of the update--the area that really matters to the dream--practically nothing useful was added. They created a 'cookie bank' and new commands for arrays. Nothing on variables that can support strings or any DS that could help the Possession script. I wish I had a metaphor to accurately express this, but it is outrageous that we're in 2009 and this program does not support string variables. I guess we'll have to make do with what we've got, but I'm sour with Furcadia right now. |
Well Furcadia hasn't been known for keeping with the times. It's only just now that they added some kind of friend private message browsing system anyway... At least it's free.
|
Is it just me, or has the file size doubled?
Will we need the new version to run the dream, or will I have to confront my dad. He'll probably say yes, but maybe not.Yes, I know it's only 15mb(and so dose he) and it is practically nothing, but he hasn't let me download things like this in the past. |
Aye: at least it's free.
Furcadia's download size is now 15.9 MB, yes. Much of the space taken up is by the files for paid-for avatars which we won't even be using. I'm not sure whether or not it is safe to delete those files; I'll look into it. |
It does look weird to see a dragon walking around in oddworld.
|
I would have thought you could change the avatar of a digo'd person too. I've drifted into tons of dreams in unicorn form to find out I've become some wierd toy horse or snakes or wierd creatures...

On another note, great to hear that the dream will get back online. I've been checking the Activity banner on the 1st page in the last week, with no luck. |
Hi dripik! :)
Digo (paid for) avatars CAN be patched over, but I don't want to make any one feel obligated to spend money on that. I don't want anyone to feel like they're missing out if someone can be a flying slig and they can't because they were willing to shell out $20 / year. Well, it's up. Sorry... I don't think this hour is too convenient for Europe. Edit: The very kind person who owns the character name 'Oddworld' has given it to me to use for uploading. The dream url is now furc://oddworld. |
Why not make them fairly boring creatures then?
Like Ratz (Chinchilla) or Slegs, which could have exactly the same mechanics as Slogs but with some SW sounds? (Also, now the dream is back up I feel motivated to restart work on the Fuzzle NPC's that I was working on so long ago before my PC crashed.) |
Doesnt work..
|
I think you should be banned from the forums or given capital punishment.
|
uh why?

Apparently, the problem is that there have been no post like Jordan's made on this page yet, so the message is hidden for those who do not know the secret of Page-Choosing. And those grey numbers are sort of hidden, too. I vote for a green font color, maybe that will lift the Shroud of Ignorance...

I might get back to working on coding these again, soon.
But for now, I'll post some pictures to show you why people who make computer viruses are horrible, horrible people. Here were the Fuzzles: http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/1922/fuzzlenests.png http://img30.imageshack.us/img30/1205/fuzzlepatches.png http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/5202/84164809.png |
Looks pretty sweet! The fuzzles attacking the slig is cool!
|
I tried it, it didnt work, so I uninstalled it. I wish Fuzzle Guy posted sooner, alough it's due to my ignorance.
If I didn't have to install anything I would find this more convinient. I don't really like semi-working (semi-online in this case) programs, I'm a PC optimising fiend thats why :P. |
Is the dream ever up any more? I miss the sweet sounds of a gabbit's bounce and I'd rather die than break out Munch's Oddysee to hear it.
|
Yeah, the dream never seems to be up.
I actually joined the site to experiance this MMOSG properly, but I've yet to see it. |
I think computer problems are preventing Aji from uploading the dream very often. :(
|
I thought she just gave up because everyone stopped going.
|
I guess it's time I started going on again. I kinda miss the Oddworld dream.
