Thank you for all the work you're doing. I can only imagine what it looks like behind the curtain.

It kind of looks like Matrix code, but horizontally. 

I see it when I sleep now. *shivers*

It's only open to me at the moment. I restored the links and the ability to navigate throughout, but the creation capabilities are still pretty broken. 

Ill be testing on some stuff over the next couple of weeks to see if I cant get it to a beta phase. 

 

FPL and CBUB will likely share a control panel going forward. 

That explains everything. The amusing part is, just before you replied to my question it was only then that I found out those character profiles sitting in the gallery were in fact frozen in time from 2013. 😅

 

I'd previously been under the wrong impression that they were recent creations lol.

Well, charcter creation does work up until you try to actually submit an image. The image uploader no longer works. So once I figure out how to rework that, character creation might be up.

 

Beyond that, I've gotten all the way to creating a new battle, it is up and running, but as I do not have a resolver script the two are locked in endless combat. 

Additionally all of the old scripts and controls are still pointed to either EF, or portions that are not functional at auch as the FPL control panel.

 

As of now, you can peer back into 2013, but only I can actual do anything beyond that and even then that is limited to the server telling me to go away.

Figured I'll give you guys an update. I've restored roughly 70% functionality to FPL. However, the remaining 30% will be quite the hurdle, a lot of remains not working, I'm not really sure why it's not working. 

I'm sure with more tinkering I can figure it out. Regardless, even if I get it fully functional, it still needs a lot of work cosmetically as it... Well its a broken mess.

I'll continue to update the forum post on cbub as progress is made though.

Figured out how to create and end matches.

Ended last battle -> Nothing counted
Created new battle -> it duplicated 5 times AND didn't post where expected.


Image uploader driver isn't even a thing anymore, should be pulling from the forum
It's not

Brain hurts. Going to bed, maybe sleep will help me think this through.

Thanks for the hard work and great news all around!

So after putting countless hours into the FPL I've decided it'll be best to pretty much scrap the old code and build it back from the ground up. 

So many lines just go to the wrong sections or just see dead ends it's driving me crazy to see if I'm even pointing the same way as a few lines earlier in the code. 

It'll be a bit longer of a job, but it'll definitley look better in the end.

Small update -

Development on a new FPL has begun. Upon completion the CBUB control panel will also be where you post new FPL matches. 

That's all I can offer at the moment unfortunately.

Soooo Ivan might’ve told me this might be a thing that is happening.  Count me in.  I am back and I am old now and I am willing to patreon (link please).

edit: Wow I’m still listed as a match judge.

Works been slow recently so I have time to write (translation:I'm bored) Is it cool if I write so short stories for FPL or do you want people to hold off?

No by all means go for it 

[Justin Law]

I'm all for it. 

[nihilium]

Awesome. Thanks

Despite my reservations, I figured I'd also do something with the FPL fanfic board.

It's still a ways out, but it's definitely made some progress. 

 

I'm going to be on the look out for some additional hands soon. I'll announce more when I can.
