Updates about Utopiapimp 2.1 (The new Pimp) - May 21

This is from Scott, the guy developing the new version of Pimp. It's long, but has a lot of juicy info about it's move to beta.

To the Utopian Community:



I would like to say thank you to all those current Alpha testers out there including Syele, T, Kalon and Calavera. These testers have helped immensely to kill all the bugs in the new UtopiaPimp. I also want to thank there kingdoms for hopping on Pimp and using it as the main site.



I have worked long and hard to see this website come into meaning and have put an immense amount of my personal time into the site. I have put in about 6 months of after work late night programming to make the site a reality.



Enough of the real soppy stuff, Lets talk about what is implemented and what my future goals for the site are:



What have I implemented?

1. I got almost every column working correctly while adding more capabilities for Spells and Effects. Several Tme sensitive columns are much more accurate than the original pimp down to the minute if applicable.

2. You wil be allowed to own as many provinces as possible so when Omac decides to implement a tourny and test server, you will be allowed to contain all those provinces into one user.

3. SOM+SOM's are now available to more than 1 SOM submitted inside of a tick. This allows for more accurate attacks and calculations for all users in the game. New and old users will now be able to do SOM+SOM calculations on the fly without any IRC bot helping out which very little of the community uses.

4. I have completed more than 100 items posted in the feedback and forums section which shows you the user that I am committed to the new pimp succeeding.

5. The CE page has come along way with showing CE's just like they are shown in Utopia. CE's are also stored for an infinite amount of time so you can review the CE from two ages ago or view a CE from the beginning of an age while your left at the end of the Age.

6. Explore pools are also calculated in Pimp so there will be no more need for arguments between kingdoms on who took the larger amount from each explore pool.

7. The theme System works like a charm which allows you the user to select new themes and suggest new themes to be implemented into Pimp.

8. Monarchs like before have complete control over their kingdom. They can add kingdom default columns along with choosing different columns for each user.

9. A new feature called column sets have been implemented. It allows the user to create as many sets as you would like along with holding an infinite amount of columns in each set. Letting you completely choose which sets and how many you wish to show at one time.



Whats in the future of Utopia Pimp?

1. Very nicely designed forums for each kingdom and for utopia pimp site wide.

2. A notification system to let you know via email or txt message that your time sensitive information has expired like attacks, spells and even other people attacking you.

3. Support for metatron.

4. An API so that IRC Bots can communicate with utopiapimp back and forth.

5. An online variation of Utopia Angel brought to you by Dragon Portal.

6. Unique’s Calculator for CE's.

7. A target finder like umunks site. This target finder will of course only use public information and not information obtained from intel inside of UtopiaPimp.

8. War Summaries.

9. And more but not enough to explain here.



I hope everyone here will look the site over and choose to stay. I have posted a Feedback forum so all problems are open for discussion which will inevitably make the site that much better. I am open to any and all ideas that the community has and will give every new idea a thought.



Thank you for your time. Utopiapimp Beta will remain in Beta until the features in UP 2.1 match and exceed the old Utopiapimp.



I expect to develop very rapidly, so the amount of time Pimp remains in Beta should equal the same time the new code base for Utopia stays in Beta.

Age-reset function now available - May 7

The script for resetting a wol kingdom's acct for the new age is available. It'll only load for those logged into a monarch account. After clicking it, it'll log you out. Log back in to re-initialize your kd's account. If it doesn't seem to work, give it a minute, then try once more. PS: After successfully resetting it, it cannot be reset again that age.
