["Fast & Dangerous" Mag Feeding Guide]

}> Uy, not sure about how to start this, but otherwise It'll never be made >.< <{

 

Also, DISCLAIMER(S) 

-There Is risk In doing this, for Idk If these actions can get you DC'd, but just thinking about previous experience of mag trading getting me DC'd, I can't tell what mag dropping...

-The process Is ARDUOUS, and It's not recommended to do on mags that require constant different Item feedings.

[It's a very masochistic process that requires the player to stay In constant feeding, for time on feeding a mag, even If cancelling the feeding process, passes really quick, especially If dealing with lots of mags]

 

 

 

I found a way to make faster mag feeding, or at least I think so...? 
 

 

 

 

In order to execute It, you need more than a character, and also, depending on how "fast" you want to do It, you wanna have more characters In room =] [ Yes, even 4 characters work, but you'd better not be carrying a lot of mags with you. 4 Mags with 4 characters Is already a lot ]

Also, If you need to see It for yourself, It Is Important to have Item reader addons, too.

 

 

The main factor to execute the process Is Time. You see, when one makes or enter a room, the mag on Its Inventory's feeding counter starts to count from 3m30s. One would think that That counter only applies to the owner of said mags, but that's not how It Is. It results that, If another player enters the room, the same mag's counter we've refering, Instead of counting the same time as the owner's current time left, Its counter starts over [FOR the person who entered, only], making 2 different counters for one same mag.

 

And this Is precicely where I want to get Into. Look at this  

 

 

 

[Still bad at making lightweight screenshots (didn't count on this happening. This will cut short my explanation ) and @Soly might kill me for this ]

 

3 Characters In the same room, and 9 mags on the floor- [ah, Some mags data missing on the upper characters' addons ]

(Huh, I supposedly made room with the character carrying all of them mags, and yet their timers are a second different from each )

 

 

And on each character's Floor Reader, the mag feeding counter Is not the same. You can also notice a difference of 1m10s, which was made on purpose, because that's how time manifests In the making of this guide. 

 

 

 

You see, once the mag counter reaches 0 (to be precise, a second after It reaches 0 ¬_¬) the mag can be fed. If you forget to feed the mags [AT LEAST "ONCE"], the counter will not reset; and, If the other character's counter also reaches 0 along the same counter mentioned now, then whether the one or the other character feeds the mag, the counter will reset FOR BOTH CHARACTERS. Meaning that, said mag's counter Is now In Sync with both characters.

 

 

In order to make faster mag feeding via this process, one must feed the mags, then drop them on the floor [THE ESCENCE OF RISK], then use the next character with closer timer to feed, and repeat the same process with the characters In room.

 

 

 

 

 

That's an interesting finding (and that could cause a lot of false positives in mag feeding checks )

So basically when a mag is fed, any timers that are at 0 are reset?

[www.ultimapsobb.com getting blocked by content filters]

I think the reason for it being blocked by some services is the history of the files server from the domain (the game gets a lot of false positives).
I guess it doesn't hurt to put something in the landing page tho, if that were to be it, that'd be nice.

 Yes it certainly does , went for another spin through ep2 . Crazy de sync tonight made it interesting say the least lol.

Thank you again

I meant the permanent fix will require a server restart, whatever desync you were experiencing was not related to this issue, and probably is not even related to the server tbh.

i don't know what's the problem i just download pso and them while im login just after the loadin message it jump the error

 

Maybe you only downloaded the update and not the installer?
I'd recommend you reinstall the game https://www.phantasystaronline.net/download/Ultima-PSOBB.zip

Keep in mind this file is protected by a password, the password is ultima
 

When reinstalling, I'd recommend to turn off your antivirus and before turning it back on, add the game folder to the exclusions list.

 

As for the game downloading the launcher every time, it probably is because the launcher is being removed by your AV.

Thank you Soly appreciated

I have done a temporary fix but I am already working in a permanent fix.

A permanent fix for this will require a server restart, but we should be fine either way.
 

Thanks for the report!

[episode 2 c5]

I will try to look at this today.

[Instaling Lua Add-Ons on PSOBB - Guide]

Feel free to send me a message on discord.
Right away I can tell you there is not much we can do about the resolution issue tho.

I changed the resolution of game and the letters of item floor reader is very small.

You can play around with the font size in the theme editor

[Mag not Staying as Apsaras (keeps switching back to Ravana)]

@TheIronSheik I have found and fixed the issue with your mag.
I will manually fix your mag as I don't know how long it will be until we put the fix for this thing up.

 

If you were online as of this message, lmk.

[Mag not Staying as Apsaras (keeps switching back to Ravana)]

You know what, I will take a break in a bit once I finish what I am doing atm to take a look.
Hopefully is nothing too complicated or long to fix

[Mag not Staying as Apsaras (keeps switching back to Ravana)]

If you wanna keep it as it is, maybe @R-78 can make it with an extra level so it doesn't evolve.. ?
But I still haven't been able to look into it.

[Mag not Staying as Apsaras (keeps switching back to Ravana)]

Don't thin so for now but I haven't been able to check it out.

[New Item Ideas for Triforce event?]

Yeah, I suppose something like that.... keep in mind that is not like we can just grab anything and put it anywhere else.

What If.... 

-Combo remains locked

-Each combo (locked, duh D:<) Increases from 5 rounds to 10 rounds

-Special attack shoots 15 rounds (or 20? xD), but It scatters to random enemies In range (ATA penalty Included, of course Dx) [also, It shouldn't be better than heavy attack If It's single target ] 

-ATA Increases to 150 or 200, since It's combo locked [like bombchu] 

 

Just giving Ideas

 

 

You can just read your reply in the other topic xD
Probably too hard to do such thing (increasing bullets per combo)... and even worse the "bullet spread"

Sounds like future bug Issues that will crash the game D'x

[New Item Ideas for Triforce event?]

Model replacements have been done before, but entirely new things is a different beast.
For example... the idea of a Navi mag, which would require some sort of light emission kinda thing, with custom sounds, etc.

[Mag not Staying as Apsaras (keeps switching back to Ravana)]

I don't think that woulf affect it but thanks for the info...
I'll try to check this soon to see what's going on

@Soly Do I need to be logged off with that account for when you make the change?

Errr... I just wanted the info so I could check why that happens.

[Mag not Staying as Apsaras (keeps switching back to Ravana)]

if the game does convert it but then it doesn't save, it probably is an issue with the server emulation of the evolutions.
Could you tell me your guildcard and which character slot the mag is?
Also what you feed it that makes it change

 

I thought we had fixed that, but no idea.

[Game won't launch]

Does the game window flash for a second and then quit? If that's the case, try to adjust your resolution settings

Looking at Holy Ray's page...I noticed there was supposed to be something called Last Holy Ray which was supposed to pierce, just like the Ultima Bringer's is supposed to... Furthermore, noticed that there's an enhancement item called the Piercing Photon which looks like it was meant to be used to not only upgrade Holy Ray --> Last Holy Ray but also Bringers Rifle --> Ultima Bringers.

 

As it stands, Ultima Bringers is a native drop during the Anniversary event. Were the piercing photon/bringers upgrades scrapped due to the difficulty of figuring out how to make weapons pierce? And if that's ever figured out, do you think Last Holy Ray would make an appearance? Would be pretty awesome to have a piercing arrest weapon even though I can't think of an application where it would be super useful.

I haven't added the Ultima Bringers pierce, but that's on the things to do.

[Launcher timing out, not updating :(]

Doubt it would be related to that, but maybe it was a hiccup somewhere in the middle of the connection.

Ya I have never had this issue before, oddly it was working (on the same PC) before I did a clean install of Windows 10. No idea whats going on, but you think its my ISP? Hmm, I wouldn't think that is the issue TBH. Anyways thank you for the quick response and the update, hopefully it sorts itself out somehow.

Well, as I said another person was gettick stuck mid download somehow without throwing an error, and he said it was his network somehow...
So it's a possibility... since it's not getting an AV error, is not that...

But I really don't know.

[Launcher timing out, not updating :(]

I haven never seen this, but someone was having an issue where the launcher would get stuck instead, mid download... it seems it was his ISP or something with his connection.
I'd advise to look into that...

 

In the meantime, you can download this file and decompress it onto the game folder, it contains all the updates (except the luancher)

 

However since the download is not https, chrome (and other browsers) wont let you directly download it, so copy the link and paste it into a new tab, that should make it work.

Like with a lot of things on Ultima, you could make it an option for the players to manually turn on and off the differences in monster stats. For those interested in a harder challenge with the current boosted EVP and resistances can still turn it on but those that aren't could manually turn it off?

That is harder to do with monster stats, given the way they are loaded.
