HazeronDiscordBot
Discord bot for Shores of Hazeron Discord servers.

Introduction
A basic Discord bot written in C# with the Discord.NET library.

The bot can theoretically support multiple servers, so if/when proper hosting is found it could be made public and used by multiple Discord servers.

Galactic forwarding feature is based on the old HazeronDiscordBot by CaptObvious. Most notable is the updated version of the old RegEx.

Features

• Galactic forwarding
  

• Assignment of roles
  
• Historical player count records
  

Story Ship Design
Ship design needed by part of the Relic story did not exist after the restart.

It has been posted.

Solo Clothing
People can no longer be naked in the solo game. They will always be wearing some minimal bits of clothing.

This is preparation to apply for a less-than-adult rating for the solo game on Steam.

Ship Controls
Ship controls seemed to linger on too long after I press a movement control, making fine adjustments difficult.

Fixed.

Building Render Animation
A change to virtual function caused buildings to stop animating in the scene. Here are some of the observable side effects of that bug.

• Doors did not render at all, leaving empty door openings everywhere.
  
• Airport tower beacon not rotating.
  
• Street lights not turning on/off properly.
  

Hi,


From the start of this universe, I noticed that gas giant have fog. 

Why not, but even fully scanned and colonized gas giant have fog.

Plus of that, at first this fog isn't present, then I colonize the planet, and the next day it's full of fog, I can't even see my cities.

Quality of life: Spaceship missions exchange



Most of us have five avatars, and some of us are in an empire with players sharing the same goals.


The ship mission system as-is is good, but can be improved a lot in many, many ways.


One simple way to improve it is to add a mission exchange.






Why?



Avatar sharing

• First, some missions are "basic" and are required for all avatars a player have. For example, buying all supplies for a ship, to colonize a new system, to gather a specific resource, etc.

• Theses missions currently have to be manually copied avatars to another, which require a ship filled with missions orders and every others avatar that save it, for each mission.

• Second, Hazeron is an MMO, which means we are playing alone together for many, but not for all.

• A mission exchange can be a good thing as an empire scale to permit to everyone in the empire to set orders to traders, harvesters or patrols.This would involve more the players to work together, at least in a empire level.

• When we die, we can drop items to the ground (or in the infinity void of space). This could be quite annoying if a CD or USB stick is dropped. 

• Of course, a local backup can be done in another CD or USB, but even if it is not complicated, this is not fun at all to check every data storage, load the orders in the ship and save it again to another media.

Master server developed a habit of taking a super long time to do its periodic database update.

A maintenance function that is only performed on the master server was taking a geometrically longer amount of time to execute as the number of solar systems increased.

The maintenance function is not critical so it is now only performed when the master server starts up, before anyone can log in.

This will also allow the server to shut down more quickly. It was taking forever because of the final save before the server exits. That was getting really annoying.

One really annoying side effect of this was the huge delay in completion of things that involve the master server, like passing through a wormhole to a system that is hosted on a different server.

A server crashed when a ship fired its bay weapon.

A check of the building code revealed that the bug existed there as well.

The bug was thoroughly fixed in each set of code: spacecraft and buildings.

Servers were restarted because of the seriousness of the bug.

My brother seems to be having the same issues I was with my RTX 2070 super in this thread: https://www.hazeron.com/mybb/showthread....94#pid7194

His card is the AMD Ryzen 5700g and specifically, the map part of his star map does not show upon opening it. The Sector list on the right is there, just no map. He has not found a ringworld as yet so I can't say if that part is an issue as well.

My issue with my card was that OpenGL was not enabled by default and enabling it in the control panel solved it. In researching his issue I find that AMD does not support OpenGL either, and while Nvidia provided a fix, AMD does not. I'm curious if anyone else has had this issue with this card and how they solved it?

I found two threads in reddit and another forum, the jist of both of those threads were leaning toward replacing the card with an Nvidia.

Say, does anyone know if a starship with a land order will automagically open a door that's covering spaceship landing spot, the close it once it lands? Just wondering before I start building something. I'm considering using auto doors that might perform the same function with ships controlled by NPCs.

Actually that is a good question of auto doors work on any entity: vehicle, space/starship, npc...  If they did, then the need to activate remote doors could be eliminated for some designs. 

https://www.hazeron.com/wiki/index.php/Designer lacks any info on automatic doors... actually I can't find anything in the wiki about automatic doors.

Since the previous Google Sheets version is broken, and I have no plans to update it, I figured I would at least upload the original Excel file. The original City Planner Spreadsheet was made over a decade ago for the old city system, and I cannot recall who the original author was, but here it is for anyone interested.
