V Rising Changelog

[Ene Vinson]

JohanThere are both harmless villagers and various hostile human soldiers. You will need to weaken a human in combat to drink their blood, or you can choose to finish them with a bite. The current design goal is to let players immerse themselves as vampires. Humans will most likely stay NPCs.

Johan: I think connecting castle building with rising in power as a vampire fits the theme surprisingly well. Throwing up walls using your dark powers almost makes more sense compared to in other survival games, throwing up walls in a millisecond while chopping wood with a scythe, haha. Strolling around in your newly built gothic castle as a vampire and sleeping in a coffin adds a lot to the experience.

Johan: The PvP combat will be fast-paced, and fans of our previous titles will feel at home, even though the gameplay feel does differ a bit from each game we develop. Without promising too much, we will most likely have everything you ask for, Tevoss!

Johan: Good questions! Players will unlock new technology and gear in their castle. Expanding the castle and upgrading its rooms will allow players to access a wider variety of equipment. The more the castle grows, the more there will be to discover. You will craft weapons and combine them with powerful spell kits that both work similar to Battlerite champion abilities. There will also be different tiers of spell kits to learn, upgraded versions of the same skills. Many of these abilities are inspired by the ones you find in Battlerite.

Johan: Without being too specific: Action Survival gamers and players into sandbox open-worlds with crafting and building elements. But also players into Action RPGs, MMO RPGs, Diablo-esque games, and anyone who played our games in the past. V Rising is like our previous games, its own thing, and a multiplayer action game first.

Johan: I would love to see players roleplaying in V Rising, and I believe there will be a lot of vampire politics in this game. It is, however, hard to tell how much freedom is enough for players to feel like a real vampire. We will use the beta period wisely to collect player feedback and improve on what players want more or less of.

Johan: You heard a sneak peek of the music in our teaser trailer. The soundtrack is composed by Aleksandria Migova, who made both in-game tracks and all the trailer music for Battlerite. We will set up an interview with Aleksandria and have a dev update dedicated to the music later this year.

Johan: We will update the world of V Rising and keep adding content after the release. How we scale the game is always dependent on how many players we have. I believe the updates will come less frequently but will add more meat to them when they are released.

Johan: Thank you for wanting to be part of the development of V Rising! Your questions have been an excellent way to understand what you want to see in the game and what you consider important. Keep em coming! Player feedback will be crucial during both closed beta and early access so we together can create a kick-ass vampire game. We also highly appreciate all content and youtube videos made by you guys, any help with spreading the word about the game means a lot to us.

Johan: Thank you all for your support! There will be more reveals coming even though it will be some time before we can go into the details of game design. Bear with us as we keep building the world of V Rising.

However, the events logged have a Status field which is binary - running or completed. The application will log an event as running, and after the event completes (as much as 10 - 15 minutes after commencing) it will update all the events and set the Status field to completed. Unfortunately, the application will also default a "Run Successfully" field to false until it completes and will only set the "Run Successfully" field to true at event completion.

There is a date time field, however after reading articles like -is-using-a-timestamp-column-for-the-rising-col.html and other answers that ask you to "dedup" searches - I dont like the idea of using the date time stamp as the Rising Column and would like to avoid it if possible.

If I use the Status field in the SQL WHERE clause, Splunk will still increment the Rising Column it is looking for and so will miss the update. I did see an article mentioning the use of a lookup, but there were no details on how to do so.

Thanks jcoates and richgalloway for all the suggestions.

In the end, I just needed to review my data carefully and think it through.

I have another field - Run End, which tells me when the long running job finishes. So I now use that as the Rising Column. This means that I now dont pick up the default state "Run Successfully" = false. I now only pick up the true run success state as it updates when it updates the Run End field.

I have also managed to create my first alert, also using the dedup command.

I have a different question now, which I will ask in a new thread.

That requires the status incomplete to status complete transition to be one-way and permanent, but it would allow you to use time for rising relatively safely (given the caveats in the documentation).

I was hoping to avoid using the date as a Rising Column.

Batching the entire table is not feasible. The reason we want it in Splunk in the first place is because it is an ever growing log that needs to be queried for health checks and doing so on the live table would hinder performance.

Right now because the Rising Column is the Primary Key we can get away with extracting data regularly. Changing to the datetime column means no longer using an index and a table scan will be used, hindering performance.

While there are good reasons to avoid using timestamps as the rising column, sometimes it's the best option. It depends on the likelihood of a timestamp collision. Is it possible to add an index on the timestamp column?

My issue now will be that I will have duplicate entries, some with "Run Successfully" true, some false. I will now need to write SPL to ignore "Run Successfully" = false IF there exists rows with "Run Successfully" = true at a later timestamp for a given Primary Key Id, and only alert if there are ONLY entries for "Run Successfully" = false. How do I do that?!?

If you add dedup PrimaryKeyId to your search, you'll get the most recent event for each Primary Key Id. Of course, you'll need to replace "PrimaryKeyId" with the real name of the field that holds the primary key.

stertrn has undergone a significant change as FNIX starts to impose its influence on the land. The South Coast region is now dotted with a variety of machine structures that are in stark contrast to the once more traditional and peaceful landscape. There are also more signs of the battle that took place between the military and the machines in the early days of the uprising. Areas in the farmlands now show the scars of the battles that once took place there.

Most important feature of this update is a map. This should help you to navigate through the world. The map provides a detailed representation of the world, has several levels of zoom and also allows you to place markers.

In order to create a map, you will get in touch with more new content: This update introduces a paper press, which can be used to turn cloths to rags, and rags to paper. To use it, first put some cloths on the press, push the press down to turn it into rags, then add some water to the rags (by using a bucket) and push the press down again.

Of course this update also introduces more things: new dungeons (a desert pyramid as well as a underground maze [if a maze spawns, it will be connected to pyramids]), several new plants (corn, sugarbeet, chili etc), new options for server admins, lots of changes to the plugin/modding API (we will release a separate changelog for this) and much more. And - as usual - we also fixed a lot of bugs, especially some Mac related issues. Find the full changelog attached.
