Hey everyone,
I just posted on the GoAB forum, but as someone very nice just pointed to me it appears all the Age creation activity as now moved here.. I have to say I felt a bit lonely there.. I'm glad to see there's indeed quite a bit of activity here. I went here a week ago, but this whole 'Guild' thing that is going on in Live these days, well, it's a bit too IC for me; so I didn't spend too much time here. It appear I was wrong. :p
So, whithout further chatting here is my copy-pasted post from the GoAB board:

21.10.07 -- Ahra Pahts: New version incoming.
The rock is hard; the rock cutter is patient. (Old D'ni proverb)
And Ahra Pahts is made of a very hard rock.
Well, this has been a while since the last update. In those last updates I mentionned bugs that were plaguing the Age and preventing me from releasing a new version. The good news is that I finally managed fixed them all and a new version is coming. It will be the version 0.8.6, it will fix all previously know bugs, it will include our 'nexus' for the Age (known as the 'Prin Pahts'), and an updated Hub. It will not include much new content beside that, as it is essentially a 'bugfix' release. (For the three of you that might be interested in details about the bugs I mentionned I'll post a new topic.)
New content will however follow soon, because I am extremely happy to have that Age up and running again; and I intend to give it a lot of my time to complete it.
The new version of PyPRP did introduce a small lighting issue however: the Age is much darker now. Since their is no actual light in Ahra (except for the avatar), it's all vertex painted on the models, it might be due to the way the materials work now. I'll look into that, but it doesn't look like anything that can't be fixed.
So, that little lighting issue aside, Ahra Pahts is back on track! I am adding and fixing all that I've had on my list for the last months, the Prin Pahts Nexus and the Hub are integrated, and the new version is only a couple days away.. I am *very* happy about that. The future looks bright again for this Age. I've never been more motivated for this project.
There is still a lot left to be done, but the hardest part is behind me. I intend to have Ahra Pahts version 1.0 completed before christmas!
A word about shells:
To all the people who have registered shells: this Age needs you, if you have done some work on your shell I'd love to see it. If you have questions or need help, I'd love to hear it too. If fact I'd love to hear anything about your work or your plans.
If you know just a bit about Age creation creating a shell is easy, all you need to do is follow those simple Guidelines to make sure your shell integrates nicely in the Age, and then submit it. (either directly to me, or by posting about it in this forum)
As I look at the shells signup list I see there are over 20 people who registered over 50 shells, that's potentially plenty of great material to give life to the big city..
