Re: Ultimate family news

I know this is a hard one for devs, but its worth:

You've done a great improvement by showing incoming ops in fam news (some of them). Now complet ur good job by doing it perfect, some other events should be showed there (and design new icons for the events!).


Ops/Event that should or shouldnt be showed at familly news v2.0
===============================================

Spells:
-Vision -> NO
-Generate False Info -> NO
-Hypno -> YES (Incoming)  and YES (Outgoing -> showed in the fam news of the caster)
-No Fear -> NO
-Reduce Food -> YES (Incoming) and YES (Outgoing)
-E-Storms -> YES (Incoming) and YES (Outgoing)
-Kill Scientists -> NO (Incoming) and YES (Outgoing, not showing results)
-CPFF -> NO (Incoming when casted, but YES the tic the portal is blocked) and YES (Outgoing when casted, but NO when blocked)
-FTP -> NO
-SA -> NO
-Destroy Iron -> YES (Incoming) and YES (Outgoing)
-Sense DS -> NO
-OH -> YES (Incoming) and YES (Outgoing)
-Warcry -> NO


Operations:
-SoT -> NO
-Plant False Info -> NO
-Infiltrate -> NO
-Place Nukes -> YES (Incoming when triggered, showing the infra affected) and YES (Outgoing when placed, not showing results)
-Check Relations -> NO
-DU -> YES (Incoming) and YES (Outgoing), none of them showing results
-Terminate Scientists -> NO (Incoming) and YES (Outgoing, not showing results)
-Sabotage Portal -> YES (Incoming, the tic the portal is destroyed) and YES (Outgoing, when the portal gets sabotaged)
-IP -> NO (Incoming) and YES (Outgoing)
-PI -> YES (Incoming) and NO (Outgoing)
-Destroy Cash -> YES (Incoming, showing results) and YES (Outgoing, not showing results)


Events:
-DS moved to another system -> YES
-DS destroyed -> YES both incoming and outgoing
-Starvation -> YES (only for Revalons)
-Units disbanding for upkeep -> YES
-Market updates -> YES (not showed in main news page, add a new "sort by market moves" option to get a complet market info spearated from other news)
-Player gets in pmode -> YES both incoming and outgoing (showed in the fam news of the attacker's fam)
-Player gets in vmode -> YES
-Player gets blocked/banned -> YES



Another issue to arrange would be to make the news permanent, so when a player deletes or is killed, his fam news arent deleted.

Feel free to add your comments and other stuff you would include in the fam news v2.0

Like most of it, but why the market updates in fam news?

well what I say is to make it a separate fam news (not within the other news) just by adding an option "sort by market moves" to the ones we have right now ("sort by empire", "sort by type of event", etc..)

This would be a lot of help for those players who play market to earn cash & ressies for the fam. The market news would show the item sold/bought, the amount of it and the price. It also should be displayed by empire as default, so its easier for a market player to locate his movements.
I can assure, after this tool is designed, some market player will design an ezternal tool that gathers all that info as input and show the economic market balance as output.


Thank you Sol for your support smile  now we only need a volunteer dev to put his hands on it  (its a damn challenge!)

Re: Ultimate family news

When we complete a successful op, why doesn't it show in the fam news?

Re: Ultimate family news

The messages (or an approach to them)
=============================
I use some known player names as ezamples, and I'm checking every spell/op rules at the guide, to make sure I'm respecting those rules and not falling in contradictions.

-Hypno incoming (when triggered, since it works like PlaceNukes) -> "week z, y  citizens of MotherJedi have become psycothic and commited suicide in a long portion due to a Hypnotize spell casted by Insane"

-Hypno outgoing (when succesfully casted) -> "week z, y  Insane wizards managed to hypnotize and kill part of the population in MotherJedi empire"

-Reduce food incoming -> "week z, y  the ability to produce food in Amsterdam' hydrophonic farms has been reduced by an unknown enemy empire"

-Reduce food outgoing -> "week z, y  TheBigOne has succesfully casted a spell on Amsterdam's farms slowing down their workers for 8 weeks"

-E-Storms incoming -> "week z, y  the skies above Easyway planets have turned deadly from electric storms causing a lot of damage and casualties. The evil magic seems to proceed from AdriusAvangion"

-E-Storms outgoing -> "week z, y  AdriusAvangion mages have succesfully caused terrible weather and electric storms over Easyway citizens all over the empire"

-Kill Scientists outgoing -> "week z, y  evil magic from Metrex has caused some of Killas scientists to be blown up at the brain"

-CPFF incoming -> "week z, y  Flashlightning portal in planet 22,34:2 has been blocked by an enemy force-field previously casted by Render"   
(I know from the guide the caster identity is not revealed, but revealing it would help to decide best wizzie award at EoR)

-CPFF outgoing -> "week z, y Render mages have succesfully placed a force-field over planet 22,34:2. The portal will be blocked within 12 weeks"

-Destroy Iron incoming -> "week z, y  the iron stocks all over Orion empire has been contaminated and a #% of it becomes useless. This thermite shape spell has the origin in evil Gwynned wizards"

-Destroy Iron outgoing -> "week z, y Gwynned mages have succesfully rotten #% of Orion iron stockage"

-OH incoming -> "week z, y  Rogue cash factories have been affected by octarine hurricanes created by Maxatron. The effect will last for 6 weeks"

-OH outgoing -> "week z, y  the mighty wizards of Maxatron have created octarine hurricanes all over Rogue empire"

-Place Nukes incoming -> "week z, y  several nukes have been detonated in Poley's [Mining Facilities]. It seems they were silently placed by Nandro agents"

-Place Nukes outgoing -> "week z, y  agents from Nandro on a stealth mission have succesfully planted nukes on Poley's empire"

-DU incoming -> "week z, y  stationed forces from Lee in planet 10,9:3 have been [poisoned/bombed/diseased] by enemy Sol Invictus agents"

-DU outgoing -> "week z, y  agents from Sol Invictus have comitted a terrorist act on enemy planet 10,9:3 weakening their defenses in that planet"

-Terminate Scientists outgoing -> "week z, y  hitmen from Fallen Angel have sneaked into Primo research centers and killed some of their scientists"

-Sabotage Portal incoming -> "week z, y  Lohan portal in the planet 80,9:18 has been destroyed from a planned sabotage performed by Amspir elite agents"

-Sabotage Portal outgoing -> "week z, y  the elite of Amspir agents are planning an unerring attack on planet 80,9:18 to destroy its portal. The operation will take place within 20 weeks"

-IP outgoing -> "week z, y  Cloud agents have sneaked into enemy planet 3,24:5 to determine it has [Not/Not still] a portal"
(notice [Not] means no portal, while [Not still] means portal under construction)

-PI incoming -> "week z, y  We have indications that unkown enemy agents have been detected spying the infrastructure on planet 6,25:18"

-Destroy Cash incoming -> "week z, y  Enemy agents from Khorinis have destroyed #% of the cash stocked in Deathstar vaults"

-Destroy Cash outgoing -> "week z, y  Khorinis agents have succesfully destroyed some of Deathstar cash reserves"

-DS moved -> "week z, y  One of our Defense Stations has reached system 4,5 to improve its defenses"

-DS destroyed incoming -> "week z, y  Our Defense Station in system 4,5 has been destroyed"
-DS destroyed outgoing -> "week z, y  Our brave troops have destroyed an enemy Defense Station in system 4,5"

-Starvation -> "week z, y  We have reports that population all over King empire is dying from starvation! it's a food urgency"
(notice King must be a Revalon)

-Units Disbanding -> "week z, y  We have reports that some of Forever fleet has been disbanding over the last week due to bankrupt! It's a money urgency"

-Pmode (incoming only) -> "week z, y  The empire of Nightwish have been heavily hit recently and goes into protection mode"
(notice the msg for outgoing is already showed as an attacker's personal report)

-Vmode/Blocked (incoming only) -> "week z, y The Galactic overseers have informed of special situations for the empire of Arby3"
(notice the msg for outgoing is already showed as an attacker's personal report)


===========================

Some of these msgs are already been showed (in different forms). I just wanted to do it all because I'm not playing right now and can't remember what ops/spell are being already showed in fam news.
The format of coords is the common zz,yy:pp so we make it a link to easily go to that planet.
