So is it free?

Yes it is free - both the Lite and the Full version (as for the 18.12.2016)!
But months of work are spent into it. We - especially Jascha worked very very hard for it.

Hi! How do we wipe an specific planet in a specific time in the Timetable?

[RexXxuS]

Hey, if you just want to wipe one planet insert the proper playfield name in the parameter column. Action is "wipe" . Time can be every Monday and under time "9:00" which stands for 9AM.
If you want to wipe multiple playfields add a hash to it. For example "Akua#Omnicron"

[Dipi Evil]

Perfect! Thanks!

Another question: the server must be empty,off or something?

[RexXxuS]

Everything is automated. Let's say you set Monday 9AM. What happens is:
1. At Monday 9am the server stop will be initiated
2. After 5 minutes the server will stop with proper messages to the people
3. A full backup of your content + save folder will be created in your given backup folder in the config
4. The given playfield will be wiped (removed from the playfield folder or from the template folder. Depends on your given name)
5. Server will be started again after all of this

Can your software wipe playfields but keep player structures?

Can your software reset just the terrain and resources?

Can it reset just the POIs?

If not, are you planning to add any of those functions?

[RexXxuS]

Can it reset just the POIs?

Yes

Can your software reset just the terrain and resources?

Yes

Can your software wipe playfields but keep player structures?

It is easily done manually but in the next versions also possible by the tool / automatically

Hi,

We cant´edit POIs in lite version? For me is always empty when I right click in playfiled then "Edit Depois and POIs". it only show one item and "Refresh to see more". Nothing else.

[RexXxuS]

Hi,
you mean the button "Fill up with POI's"?
No, for that the service is needed (Full version).
If you want to reset them you have to manually grab the coordinates with the implemented "Calc Area" under "Stats".

Latest Patch Notes - 18.12.2016 - v1.29.0:

Hey everyone,


its quite a long time since we released a patch... and it has its reasons. A lot of things have changed over the last month.

We planned to change some major things like server/client behavior (to integrate our tool in hosted-servers and to allow working with the tool from your home PC). We thought about writing even Mobile apps, enhancing our Playfield Generator with Playfield.yaml files.... and so on. These things are still on our wish list, but first things first ;).



As you might have seen Eleon released the first Mod-Version which we implemented in our tool. We had to take time to test it fully and give feedback, since it meant also a lot of changes for our tool. But we think we have a quite stable Version now (only 2 minor bugs that happen from time to time are known so far. But nothing to worry about). This is a big step for our tool and actually helps us to reach our goals mentioned above. But of course we also added some cool features meanwhile, as you can see from this endless Patch Note :).



Thats of course not all! There is an even bigger change for us and you guys. First off all we like to say a BIG “THANK YOU!” to all those who supported us along the way by buying the Full Version and the great feedback we got. As many of you know we tried to help the Devs for a long time already to find Server-Side bugs, testing new game-features and making suggestions to what may be nice to have in-game. Since we have the largest community and thanks to the wonderful suggestions of our community all of that was possible. On the other hand we implemented more and more statistics and information-outputs so that we could give even better reports to the devs.

On the other hand we were always bound by sniffing through Hex-Files on our own, which is quite hard without much help. But this will change now.



We will now officially work with Eleon!

That means:

- the Full Version will be available for free from now on. See our Website[eah.empyrion-homeworld.net].

- no more mails about updates! Please watch our Patch Note forums! Download always from our Website[eah.empyrion-homeworld.net].

- there will still be a Lite Version for those who need to use FTP to connect to the server (this will change hopefully soon). The Lite version will be the same as the full, but not support structure-related things. Therefore it has FTP settings.

- we will further update the tool (for Eleon), with direct support from them.

- if all works out and some more changes made to the tool, it will be soon included into the steam download of Empyrion.

- Please give us further feedback and suggestions for the tool



What about our Playfield Generator?

Its not forgotten. No by no means. We waited cause we thought there would be a new community that would build a much better tool, but I guess it fell asleep again. We are in discussion about this with the devs and will see how we can deliver also a much better tool in that area.






So what are some other highlights?

- A LOT more statistics and logs (you can turn them on/off in the config)

- The Service is not needed anymore! If you use slave tools, please (for now) still run the service. Also make sure that ONLY the Master tool has the Mod-Connection turned on! (It will turn it off if the slave tool is set right)

- The new Origins are implemented

- New Messages over the Mod. Will be shown also on top right (Also warnings and Dialogs are possible)

- Chat to player (context menu on chat or player list)

- We put the inventory on the bottom to have you see the whole Playfield-List

- cb: NextRestart / NextWipe / Wipe --> Saves you the pain to allways update the Chatbot Infos and telling people of different timezones how many hours until wipe.


And a lot more: Patch Notes[eah.empyrion-homeworld.net].


When you start the tool on your server, please go to the config and activate "Mod Connection" and change the Version to 5.0. Then restart the tool. Form then on the Mod will do its work.

If you use the full version not on your server (for example on your home pc), then you need to let it run the old way (Mod Connection off and Service.exe running).



With the help of the devs we will soon be able to make more amazing stuff for you :). A lot is planned. But first we will take some time to take care of the server/client behavior that we need for a lot of things. Always feel free to send us your suggestions, maybe now they can become reality ;)

Tip: If you used the lite bevor, just copy the full over the lite. All Settings will be kept.

Please be aware that Alpha 5.0 might come already tomorrow!

Greetings,

Your HWS Team

[Dipi Evil]

Congrats guys! Your work is amazing! Even using the lite version can't see the game for mp version without this epic tool.


And... Alpha 5.0 tomorrow really!?

Yes it is free - both the Lite and the Full version (as for the 18.12.2016)!

So first up I have enjoyed using the lite tool and now the full version, I'm also looking forward to seeing what happens next, but I have to say since I only purchased the full version in the last two months and paid for the bigger license I am pretty annoyed that it is now free for everyone to use - seriously what do you say to your buyers who helped you get to this point having paid and now when it will get even better, everyone else can jump on and use it completely free?

Sounds like sour grapes I know and you know what there is a little bit of that - I do certainly wish you guys all the best and like I said at the start look forward to seeing what you can do with the extra access and help. Still feeling a little ripped off though!

[Jascha]

Please reload the 1.29.01 Version (only Full Version) to fix the problem that only structures of one Playfield are loaded.

Hey Moedeb,

I can understand your feelings, especially since its not so long ago that you bought it. For those even buying it the last weeks it must be even harder :(. Sorry for that, but on the one hand, we did not really know about such a change at all. It supprised us. We planned on going on like we did until the Devs recently made this offer (with the expectation to make the tool for free of course).
On the other hand, we needed that support, since we even cut down our normal Jobs to make this possible and keep going on. Otherwise we might have stoped already.

If it was a hard blow for you, please contact us via email. We an surley figure something out :).

Greetings,

Jascha

Another Smal Update to 1.29.02 for full and lite.
This is especially for those who use Cross Server Warp, or use still the old way of writing files.
Also Alien Blocks got off the Cheater list since it has happend that some got those Items when dismentelling POIs.
