I understand, but until the product is not ready, we won't provide any ETA. You can see how even big companies that are producing AAA games like CD Projekt RED or Blizzard, delayed their products due to issues they had, so you can try to predict something, and add time, but it can always be not enough. In this case, I won't give any potential false hope, unless it will be ready or nearly ready, like the last 5%. Even though I know it's not sufficient, all I can say is that it's in progress and going forward.

It's going forward nicely, but I don't want to share anything that is not polished enough, or in development state. I hope that we will have some elements to share I'm not sure what you mean, currently, our game is on hold due to the amount of work on Atavism. It wasn't about coding remotely. When we hired a company, and devs started to catch covid, some couldn't work. Dev also has family that he/she has to take care of in various situations. It's your choice. We are not promising any timeline related to Unreal, but we are working on it, and I hope we will be starting sharing things one after another soon. Things in Atavism, like in any MMO game, are connected to each other, we have many elements ready like items, and combat, but not mobs, so they are just cubes. We don't want to share something that even is functional but not fully appealing.

To be honest, we haven't used the Salsa package, but probably it's all about matching bones somehow. As far as I remember Orc and other race models should be rigged as humanoid, so maybe there is just an additional bone or something.

Camera that is not rendering layer where texts are. Check if you can see texts in the scene view, if so, then it's camera setting.

It's really hard to say if something is simple or not as it heavily depends on your skills. There are many developers who are implementing changes and new features into Atavism, but it's really hard to answer your question precisely.

Change server log level to debug. To do so go to the worlld.properties configuration file, and change it there to 1, default value is 4. ### ### The default log level of the server. ### ### AO-Level log4j Level ### 0 TRACE ### 1 DEBUG ### 2 INFO ### 3 WARN ### 4 ERROR ### atavism.log_level=4 So, set it to 1, restart the server, then reproduce the issue, craft something, pack all logs from the atavism_server/log/world directory, and send them to support@atavismonline.com with this forum post link. Also, after you modified your recipes, are you sure that you restarted your server?

How are you opening the crafting panel? By clicking on a crafting station or from the menu, or differently?

Can you show me that you can click the craft button? I can't reproduce this on my end. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/lbgik8vlie6gdfdg9vzlk/2024-01-10_12h39_45.mp4?rlkey=yyf956wbcuq73lcnsgonxmf9x&dl=0

RPG Builder is a single-player framework while Atavism is a networking one, this is the main difference, but of course, there are others. The technology that both solutions are using is different, features are also different.

Client-side sources are fully available for any modifications, the same with Atavism Standalone Editor. Server-side sources are mostly open, like 99% of them, while 1% is closed due to low-level networking and license checks. Developers are constantly modifying things in Atavism and adjusting them to work as they want to. We cannot cover all use cases even if we are trying to.

Hello, In the current Atavism version, you can bind abilities to weapons using weapon profiles and then bind actions to specific keys, like the left mouse button, right mouse button, etc. https://unity.wiki.atavismonline.com/project/weapon-profile/ Another way is using simple requirements for specific abilities, so Ability 1, and Ability 2 for dedicated for warrior with equipped sword should have required sword weapon. On the main camera in the main world scene, you can set various settings, to automatically select an entity that you will target with your crosshair https://unity.wiki.atavismonline.com/project/camera-and-controller-settings/ There are many approaches for resource nodes. We provided such an approach in the example, but you can make more complex ones. Trees are falling down while you are chopping them down, which normally probably shouldn't occur, because what will happen if you will abort the harvesting? It should cancel it, and the tree should be still available for harvesting. This is what is happening here, so it's all about configuration and your imagination of what and how should work.

I think you found the answer on Discord, and it was related to incorrect server/client versions, right?

Hello Yes, I think I might replied to you in a YouTube comment already, but if it wasn't your question, here is the answer. It's just one checkbox, but it also depends on what you want to achieve. Some games show hands, and some show only a crosshair, these elements would have to be adjusted by you. By default Atavism is just moving the camera into your player position, your job would be to hide it, make it transparent, show hands, or whatever you would want. Yes, the mentioned checkbox is turning on your first-person view, but there are also more options, like rotating your character towards your camera view, Camera Follow Mouse, and more. A top-down view is also supported out of the box, so it's as simple as adding one component to the camera and setting it to your needs. it's related to the click-to-move controller and more information about it you can find here https://unity.wiki.atavismonline.com/project/how-to-set-click-to-move-controller/ I would recommend you try to install the 14-day trial version and see if this is what you are looking for https://atavismonline.com/home/atavism/atavism-on-premises/atavism-2018-op-standard-subscription

I understand. We found that Unity is better in some things, but in terms of visuals and out-of-the-box performance Unreal is better and there are more features available. To be honest, we like to use both engines, depending on the scope, if we would go with a mobile MMO then Unity can be a better choice. Atavism for Unreal will be licensed separately, we have plans to provide some kind of discount for license conversion, but it's hard to say more at this point.

You can achieve all you mentioned, most will require coding for sure, and some may not, like resource-gathering

10.8 works the same regarding communication. This element Is only an information thing to let you know that there is no certificate private key and you can generate it by following the guide that you can find in the atavism_server/bin/How to - RSA Key Generation.txt file. As for the issue that you cannot enter the world, please send me packed all logs in private.

Hi. Every new license has 180 days of updates included, so if the 10.8 version was released within the 180 days window after you purchased it, then you can easily upgrade Atavism. The upgrade procedure depends on the installation method but you can find it in the release notes on the wiki page. Here is the direct link https://unity.wiki.atavismonline.com/project/atavism-x-8/ In the mentioned Atavism Customer Portal you should be able to download the 10.8 version while the update procedure is described on the documentation page.

Hello, here you can find all the information you need on how to set up the Ataivsm server, client, etc. https://wiki.atavismonline.com/project/how-to-start-with-atavism/

The only thing I can think of is network connection quality.

Connection tests in the editor are related to the database only and not server services. Gather all server logs from the atavism_server/logs/world directory, pack them with zip or anything you prefer, and send them to support@atavismonline.com or use a private message. Unfortunately, logs analysis can take some time, so I cannot guarantee any response time but we will check it as soon as we can.

It was caused by mixed settings of TCP/UDP between the server and the client.

I'm sorry for the late reply. Usually, it's an issue with an incorrect email or Atavism license key, but to verify this, please contact us in private.

In Atavism, you have skills -> abilities -> effects, where skills are the virtual group for abilities that you and you can level up skills, not abilities, but by leveling skills, you can have for example ability dmg 100 that will require skill level 1, but with skill level 3 you will learn automatically or not, it's up to you, an ability that will deal dmg 115. The issue is that it won't unlearn the other ability with lower dmg.

Hello, you need to move through the upgrade procedure that we are providing for each release in the release notes. There you can find the upgrade procedure and you need to do it step by step, like from X.3 to X.4, then from X.4 to X.5, etc.

It would be good if you could send all packed logs in private, preferably at debug level.
