Deprecated Darkstar fourms

I've been playing on the Dark Star test server for one or two weeks now, albeit not religiously however not long enough to truly know what is available and what is not.

I've had to ask in the IRC chat on numerous occasions whether or not certain things are active or not, and I feel perhaps there should be a list somewhere that is updated from time to time when things are in progress or whatever.

So obviously some servers have things that others do not, however what I aim to accomplish is a list of what most servers do have, in terms of major things. Ex: Chains of Promathia missions. I don't really care if the rock salt quest works, nor do most people I would imagine.

So if anyone could answer, what works and what doesn't?

I realize that this answer varies per server, so if you are on a server that has CoP working for instance, please specify how far you can go (if you can do all missions just say all or to the end) and what server this is on.

EDIT: New Wikipedia page! The list has been made into a Wikipedia page which can be found here: http://kile.dyndns.info:8765/index.php?title=What_Works

I assure you the Wikipedia page looks much cleaner, and I highly advise you take a look at that rather than the list here.

Here's a list of things just for starters:

This color = works, has bugs (bugs once posted will be listed here)

If you can think of anything not listed that you would like either added to the list because it does work or you would like to know if it is working by all means let me know and I will add it.

is this about the avatar fights or the summoner avatars? if the latter, do PM me about this one, i don't recall having left anything broken except astral flow (and merit bp, but that's not really an issue yet anyways)

Thank you. This is something I've felt the project needed for a while. A clear list of what to expect, what just doesn't work and doesn't need to be reported again, etc.

I'm pretty sure Dragoon can be unlocked successfully, although I think the quest behavior when you place the egg in Meriphataud isn't correct. The only issue is that your wyvern's name isn't stored. Most of the problems with Dragoon are functional, such as Jumps not working, wyvern attacking on engage instead of on hit, and pet depopping on zone.

Granted, that's all from testing on my own server, and I'd made some changes to level requirements for settings.lua.

That just came from me talking in IRC with someone, he mentioned something about the quest not even being scripted, if it is working then I'll change it.

ahh okay, nevermind then

i did all his BPs and stats and stuff, but i don't have any experience with the quests/bcnms ^^

from what i know that looks accurate enough

iirc there was some work on merits but i think they were temporarily pulled

So you can unlock it but it just doesn't work properly then?

That made me realize I don't have any merits in the list, are there particular merits that do and don't work?

i don't think any of them are enabled right now, but i can't be sure... i haven't been able to develop for a while

something about not being optimized yet i think.. whasf probably knows

the code that loads them into your character is remarked out right now

IS there still any work done on the Dragoon job or are the current issues deemed unfixable?

Nothing is unfixable, just need to dig the source and check what is going on. Like the Wyvern name saving sounds like the script simply does not save the name in the char_variable in the DB but then again, maybe the code does not look at the variable for name before spawning the wyvern.

Way ! Something else simple enough for me to check ! Too bad I have to wait until I lvler 30 to unlock the job

(Yes I know I can GM myself but since I am leveling with friends anyway...)
