2023-03-18 - [BETA v0.21] THE OFFLINE ONLY UPDATE
HELLO FOLKS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE AS I KNOW SIGN-IN HAS BEEN UNAVAILABLE FOR SOME TIME. IT HAS BEEN 3 YEARS SINCE THE SIMULATOR WAS FIRST DEPLOYED AND TO BE HONEST, I NEVER EXPECTED IT TO SEE CONTINUED USE FOR SO LONG! DUE TO ONGOING SERVER COSTS, AS WELL AS OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES, I HAVE DECIDED TO MIGRATE THE HACKING SIMULATOR TO AN OFFLINE-ONLY MODE. LOGIN AND ONLINE ENCOUNTER SHARING WILL NO LONGER BE AVAILABLE. THE BEST SOLUTION FOR USING THE SIMULATOR WITH YOUR GROUP IS NOW BY SCREEN SHARE.

APOLOGIES AND HAPPY HACKING!

MAGIC! WHAT!? IN A HACKING SIMULATOR?!
  • ADDED TWO NEW HOMEBREW NODES:
    • RUNE CIRCUIT: ACTS LIKE A DIRECTORY, BUT REQUIRES A MYSTICISM CHECK TO BYPASS.

  • THE FOUR HANDED HACK FEAT TOGGLE ON THE KEYPAD NOW WORKS! WILL CUT YOUR HACK TIME IN HALF IF ENABLED.
  • TRACE NODE - YOU CAN NOW CUSTOMIZE THE AMOUT OF TIME BEFORE IT TRIGGERS.

2020-02-02 - [BETA v0.18] THE ROLLER UPDATE
BEEN SICK ALL WEEKEND, SO I HAMMERED OUT SOME EXTRA GOODIES IN A QUICK PATCH TO GO WITH THE NEW PUBLIC REPOS PATCH FROM A FEW DAYS AGO.
  • BIG SHOUT OUT TO USERS DOETHRA AND RAVIEN! THEY BOTH SUBMITTED AWESOME ENCOUNTERS FOR THE DEAD SUNS ADVENTURE PATH. CHECK THEM OUT IN THE PUBLIC REPO!
  • HOTFIX FOR THE PUBLIC REPO DATABASE. ENCOUNTERS WEREN'T COPYING TO USER SAVE SLOTS AS THEY SHOULD.
  • FACE LIFT! IF YOU DIDN'T ALREADY NOTICE, THE STYLING OF ALL THE ENCOUNTER PROMPTS LIKE THE KEYBOARD, KEYPAD ETC. HAVE BEEN REFRESHED, AND I'VE ADDED SOME NEW VISUAL ELEMENTS TO MAKE THE SITE MORE RETRO-Y, INCLUDING GLOWING ELEMENTS AND A SCAN-LINE EFFECT. FIND IT BLURRY? YOU CAN MOUSE DRAG OVER TEXT TO REMOVE THE GLOW.
  • ADDED ROLLING AND CHARACTER TRAIT BUTTONS TO THE KEYPAD WHEN YOU ENTER A SKILL CHECK RESULT:
    • CAN ROLL A D20.
    • SPECIFY YOUR BONUS TO AUTOMATICALLY ADD TO THE ROLL RESULT.
    • TAKE 20. CAREFUL! TRAPS AUTOMATICALLY TRIGGER WHEN TAKING 20, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU SUCCEED OR NOT.
    • TOGGLE IF YOUR CHARACTER IS TRAINED IN HACKING OR NOT. CAN'T HACK IF YOU'RE NOT TRAINED.
    • TOGGLE IF YOUR CHARACTER HAS THE FOUR-HANDED HACK FEAT. NOTE: THIS FEATURE IS CURRENTLY NOT YET IMPLEMENTED AND DOESN'T HAVE ANY TIME EFFECT YET.

HAPPY HACKING!

HEY FOLKS! v0.17 DOESN'T BRING WITH IT MANY NEW NODE FEATURES, BUT ADDS A LOT ON THE ADMINISTRATIVE SIDE:

HAPPY HACKING!

2020-01-04 - [BETA v0.16] THE TRAP UPDATE
HAPPY 2020, STARFINDERS! v0.16 BRINGS A BIG UPDATE TO THE PROJECT, MAINLY REVOLVING AROUND HOW TRAPS WORK!
NOTE: FOR EXISTING ENCOUNTERS, YOU WILL HAVE TO RECONFIGURE YOUR TRAPS TO USE THE NEW SYSTEM.
  • (NEW) TRAPS NO LONGER AFFECT THEIR PARENTS. INSTEAD, USE THE GUARD ACTION AND ASSIGN TARGETS. A TARGET (DOTTED) LINE IS USED TO SHOW THE CONNECTION. A TRAP CAN NOW HAVE MULTIPLE TARGETS!
  • (NEW) NODES CAN NOW BE AFFECTED BY MULTIPLE TRAPS AT THE SAME TIME!
  • (NEW) ONCE A TRAP IS UNLOCKED AND THE USER HAS ACCESS, IT CAN BE DISARMED WITH THE 'TOG.ARM' ACTION. DISARMED TRAPS TURN GREY. NOTE: IF ANY OF YOUR NODES FROM AN EXISTING SAVE APPEAR DISABLED ON LOAD, JUST REPLACE IT WITH A NEW NODE AND SAVE.
  • (NEW) ADDED A TIMER IN THE CORNER WHICH INCREASES WHEN ACTIONS ARE TAKEN. ITS NOT MUCH USE, BUT...
  • (NEW) ADDED A NEW HOMEBREW TRACE TRAP. ON TRIGGER, STARTS A COUNTDOWN WHICH ACTIVATES ANOTHER EFFECT WHEN IT REACHES ZERO!
  • NOTE: ACTIONS ARE CURRENTLY 6s EACH, AND THE COUNTDOWN IS HARD SET TO 30s. ADDITIONAL CUSTOMIZATION, TIME ECONOMY AND ICONS ARE IN THE PIPELINE.
  • (NEW) ADDED INFRASTRUCTURE FOR A PUBLIC REPOSITORY OF PRE-GENERATED ENCOUNTERS FOR ADVENTURES. MORE DETAILS TO COME...
  • NOTE: WIPE WILL NOW ONLY WIPE ITS GUARDED FILE NODES, INSTEAD OF ALL NODES IN THE ENCOUNTER.
  • FIXED BUG WHERE FILE CONTENTS WERE VISIBILE EVEN WHEN THEIR PARENT IS LOCKED.

HAPPY HACKING!

2019-12-18 - [BETA v0.15] UPDATE
COUPLE NEW FEATURES. THE LIST OF CHANGES ISN'T AS LONG AS I'D LIKE FOR THIS UPDATE, CONSIDERING THE TIME SPENT. LOTS OF EFFORT WENT IN TO ORGANIZING AND OPTIMIZING EXISTING CODE, GETTING THE PROJECT INTO BETTER SHAPE OVERALL. HOPEFULLY IT WILL LEAD TO MORE FREQUENT UPDATES AND BETTER FEATURES DOWN THE LINE.
  • (NEW) ADD 'SPECIAL' NODE CATEGORY, WHICH INCLUDES TWO 'HOMEBREW' NODES:
    • REVEAL: SHOWS ALL OF THE HIDDEN NODES IN THE NETWORK WHEN HACKED.
    • DIAGNOSE: WHEN HACKED, SHOWS THE DC OF ALL NODES IN THE NETWORK, IF THEY WEREN'T ALREADY VISIBLE.
  • (NEW) ADD A NEW CONTROL NODE TYPE: ROBOT.
  • FIXED A BUG WHERE HIDDEN NODES BEHIND ALREADY UNLOCKED NODES COULD NEVER BE REVEALED. THEY AUTO REVEAL WHEN THEIR PARENT IS REVEALED NOW.
  • CHANGED IT BACK SO USERS CAN DRAG NODES AS A BAND-AID FIX. THIS WAY IF YOU SEND A LINK TO A DIFFERENT BROWSER SIZE AND THINGS GET SKEWED, IT CAN BE FIXED.
  • FIXED VISUAL BUG IN CHROME WHERE SCROLLING CURSOR EFFECT WAS CUTTING MESSAGES SHORT.

HAPPY HACKING!
