EDIT ME ONE MORE TIME: The "hang at matchmaker" bug for trading will be fixed next time I have to update the server for whatever reason. Possibly tommorow. I'm not fixing it right now because it's not what I call critical, but it is fixed in my local code. ALso, I'm giving Kaddar access to be able to edit avatar parts, so they should start popping up even quicker. If you want to design stuff, talk to him.

EDIT EDIT BO BEDIT BANANA FANA FO FEDIT: Okay, I took out some debug code, let's see if the game still lags.

EDIT EDIT: I think I know what's causing the intermittant lag. However, I'm going to let it ride overnight for now, and change it tommorow morning when the server is less full of people.
Also, the super-sized avatar in the game window is temporary until I put something else to fill up the space. Also I fixed space-name avatars being invisible, so restart your browser entirely.

EDIT: Yay for Post-Patch rockyness! Server may go down at any moment for a critical patch, Just to warn you.

Wow, I've been updating a lot recently.

Anyway, amaaazing new feature for ya'll today. BUILDABLE AVATARS!

In the matchmaker and in the game your Avatar will appear. If you don't have an avatar, it means you ahven't built one yet. Go under account -> avatars.

Basically once your basic avatar parts are given to you, you can then buy more and switch whichever ones you have equipped,a nd then have the server construct your .png avatar file.

If you're running IE (Really, get firefox, but I digress) the avatar parts won't appear very good on the store/switch pages because they're semitransparent pngs, but the full transparency (eg: the firey aura) will come together when it comes time to build your avatar.

Once your avatar is Built you can go in the matchmaker (and mouse over in the game) and it'll show up.

I've made it really easy to add avatar parts, (even easier than it is to add cards), so the kinda-limited amount that's available now will grow over time.

But hey, right now you can be a half-robot half-skeleton on skis with karn's hair, so it's not all bad.

As a side note, Female base parts (as well as other human skintones) are all free, so don't think i'm discriminating that way. But you have to pay points if you want green skin.



Also - I put in some more fixes for the "room not found" issue. Some other fixes to help me track it down if it happens again. And, I'm using Sqweek's balance list.
