Engineering / Re: TLO 2020 Theme Update
Last post by Callum603 - September 27, 2020, 12:01:27 AMWith the new theme now out and everything once again running as it should be, I'd like to reopen this topic to everyone.
If you've got any feedback about the current theme then do please leave it below, we want to make the theme work for everyone as best we can.
You may have noticed that it's not just the theme that has changed over here on the forums. We are now running SMF 2.1 RC2, technically speaking this version is just a release candidate, but it's had a while to mature (a little over a year now) and have the bugs worked out, so I felt it would be alright for us to move over to it.
This new version of SMF gives us some new features to play with, a fair few are back end (the forum is finally supporting IPv6, cool right?) others are front end based, so a few worthy of note are...
Two Factor Authentication - If you wish to enable 2FA for your account you can do so from your account settings - https://last-outpost.net/forum/index.php?action=profile;area=account
Desktop Notifications - You can, if opted in, receive desktop notifications from the site for various alerts
Mentions - You can now mention people in your posts ( @Callum603 for example (breaks site by mentioning himself))
Likes - You can like posts, cause why not...
Calendar Notifications - While we don't use the calendar a whole lot, you can get notifications when new events are added, either by a forum/desktop alert or by email
Search Indexes - If this was in the older version I never saw it. The board is now periodically indexed to make searching faster
With the notification system having been overhauled I recommend reviewing your personal settings as the board defaults have changed - https://last-outpost.net/forum/index.php?action=profile;area=notification;sa=alerts
As said above, feedback is welcomed and if you spot any bugs please do report them below.

Creative Corner / Re: Orion Crewmembers for RPG-...
Last post by Arron Dominion - September 20, 2020, 11:39:21 AMJust as an update, I have not touched this particular project in a bit because there are SRPs currently requesting player model skins. I can share some of what I have done though that is not on here:
TMP Crew Uniform:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2211443227
TOS Uniform:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2207375677
Future Uniform:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2234355521
Motion Picture Uniform:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2234355996
Expanse Uniform:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2234355114
Kelvin Uniform WIP:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2211599912
---------------------------------------------------------------------
After spending enough time working on this project, and the projects for the crew skins, I believe I will first create a tool before starting back work. Currently it is a cumbersome process to go through the various model and skin files to coordinate each new addition. Klaw had an idea, which I feel required to create, to select a model and to select the characters you want to automatically create the required files for. The plan I have is to also create a TODO list that is generated for detecting which art assets are still needed for each set created. I will create a new thread for the tool once I have more on this.

Engineering / RPG-X 1.55 Master Server Patch
Last post by Callum603 - September 17, 2020, 12:28:12 AMUntil the next version of the RPG-X client is pushed, I've created a quick "patch" to update the master servers on the current clients.
Ultimate Edition Master Server Patch - https://last-outpost.net/dl/file?id=10
Standard Edition Master Server Patch - https://last-outpost.net/dl/file?id=11
If you reinstall RPG-X before the next version you will have to reapply this work around.
Any issues or questions then feel free to reach out to me either here or email/Discord/PM/etc
Update:
If you use Avast as your antivirus you may need to disable to the file shield temporarily to allow the patch to run. This is because the file is unsigned, unrecognised, and making changes to a program on your computer. I would attempt to run it first without, but I'd you get the 'Windows cannot access specified device, path, or file...' error when launching the EXE then do the above.

Star Trek: Call of the Void / RPG-X Call of the Void SRP Cre...
Last post by Arron Dominion - September 15, 2020, 01:10:32 AMHello Everyone!
I decided to wait until we were a little closer to October before revealing this even though Grizz gave me permission to do so earlier. Grizz requested a skin for use in a future plot (no spoilers included) for Call of the Void Part II.
I introduce:
It is only one character at this time, however I am open to working on others if we need to.
Here is the trailer I put together for this release:
And you can download at the following locations:
NexusMods
GameFront
ModDB
Make sure to download from one of the above locations before this SRP starts. Also, I structured the model files in this release in a way that other female characters in Main or other similarly constructed uniform sets could share this mod. Feel free to use the assets for this or other works.
