Small update, plus news

Sorry for taking so long with this transfer, as noted before work is crazy and it will be crazy until somewhere around May. Shoto, I’ll try and get the forums active asap, the fact that I’ve now moved AP onto WPL means that I’m half way done with some stuff I want to do.

For those wanting to know, minor WP update, plus also moved servers.

Tekken 6 Update: 19-Jan

Argonaut — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 12:04:13 +0000

I’m sorry I didn’t see this press release last week due to a busy schedule at work. Here are the details that were released on the 13th.

SANTA CLARA, Calif., (Jan. 12, 2010) – NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc., today announced that players can expect to download the free TEKKEN® 6 online co-op update on January 18 for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system. Now for the first time in the TEKKEN series, players can join a friend online and fight side-by-side for some serious iron fist brawling.

Previously playable only as an offline single player mode with an AI companion, TEKKEN 6’s Scenario Campaign mode now let’s two players come together online and power their way through numerous stages. Use voice chat to work together strategically and beat down vicious opponents and their legions of minions. To keep the fires of competition in the forefront, a co-op leaderboard will be implemented so players can size up their skills against the best in the world.

This update will also include the following refinement:
· Improved Mokujin AI – In online versus mode, Mokujin’s fighting style changes with every round

Patch is Live, go go go. Actually from what I’ve been reading, it is having epic lag issues, so probably expect some more updates in the not so distant future.

Tekken 6 Update: 26-Nov

Argonaut — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 06:52:55 +0000

I never though that I would be posting the following information. Some how this is feeling like an MMO update announcement, what with the update details and release date. Anyhow, here is what Namco Bandai have said:

NAMCO BANDAI Games today released further details about the forthcoming free downloadable update designed to improve the online game experience for players of TEKKEN™6 on Xbox 360™ and PlayStation®3. The update is scheduled for release on 26th November.

The update is separate from the online co-op Scenario Campaign mode download which is scheduled for release separately this winter.

Online gameplay enhancements in the update include the following:

• Improved input response: improvement of the game’s responsiveness to button / command inputs;

• Selectable search priorities for ranked matches: players will be able to set search priorities for opponents in ranked matches based on comparable rank or connection quality as well as location;

• Optimized data transmission between fighters and spectators: fight data will be optimized in order to reduce the bandwidth load on the host’s console;

• Signal strength bars: the signal strength bar will reflect connection quality more accurately;

• Chance to cancel match: players will be able to cancel the match before it begins once the opponent’s signal strength has been displayed on ranked matches.

Here comes a new Challenger!

With online capabilities being one of the key elements of the Tekken 6 console release, we have put together a little tool to help you find players. Currently the online system is plagued with lag issues, so hopefully this tool will help reduce the lag you are battling with.

You can access this information by navigating to the Challenger page on the top menu bar. We are currently listing three systems at the moment, PS3, Xbox 360, and Arcade. To add your self to a listing you will be required to register. Once you have registered, it’s as simple as adding your Location details to your profile, and you will be listed instantly.

We are still in the process of refining this tool, so if you see anything that doesn’t look right, please comment on this article and we will get to fixing it as soon as we can.

Forum Import Update

Argonaut — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 02:05:29 +0000

Just an update on the status of the Forum. The base structure of the old forum software is being re-written so that WordPress can access the threads and so on, so it shouldn’t be too far away. Additionally you can now modify your profiles with XBL and PSN information. I will also be trying to get the Member panel in the top right corner out tonight so that you can navigate to these pages and change the data without an issue.

If you have any suggestions for the forum (tweaks etc) post them now.

User Import Complete

Argonaut — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 13:31:58 +0000

Details
The initial user database consisted of 7489 users. After some consideration, I decided to reduce that database down to active members only. This left us with 744 members. The reason to reduce was made more due to the fact that 90% of the database consisted of accounts that were used to download the videos that we used to host, and since they never took part in any of forum discussions, they were deemed unnecessary to import. If at any stage they wish to re-activate, they can send an email to myself and I will import the data into the system.

Instructions
Due to the way that WordPress does password encryption conflicting with AP’s password encryption, you will have to request that your password be reset.
To do this go here and enter your AP username, or the email address that you registered with.
You will then receive and email where you can confirm the password reset.

We’re back online… sort of

The move hasn’t been as smooth as I had hoped and considering that Tekken 6 will hit shelves here in Australia soon, it would be good to get something online as soon as possible. So here it is, Arcadepimp:Zero. For the moment everything is bare, even the theme still needs tweaking, so please forgive me for that. I will post something as things become available again.

One of the first things that I need to do is import the 7,472 user accounts into this WordPress system (this is why user registration is off at the moment). I want to utilize as much of the WordPress functionality before I have to code more into the system. That said, I will be retaining as much of AP’s old database and importing it back into this system.

Sorry again about all this, but well… stuff happens.
