-LOCKED - September's Big Update #13
Posted on 2019-09-13 13:30:03

DOWNTIME NOTICE


Lioden will be down for maintenance at 2:05am Lioden time on Monday, September 16th. The downtime is estimated to be about 30 minutes in length to update software on the server.


SEPARATION

New Mutations!


2019-noble.jpg



Mane Noble! A bit like the Mane Imperial mutation, Noble requires parents with specific mane shape genetics in order to have a chance to appear within a litter! This time, we'll reveal the secret to breeding right away: you need a parent with the Sideward mane shape and a parent with the Regal mane shape! Rock those bangs!

But wait...


2019-fangs.jpg



We're also introducing Primal Fangs, a hereditary fail mutation, something new that we're trying out! This means that it will only have a chance of appearing if you attempt to breed a Primal lion and fail at it. There will be a chance with every breeding that your offspring will inherit Primal Fangs, rather than getting a normal, failed, non-mutated cub if any of the Primal mutations didn't pass. Think of it as a consolation prize, ha, ha. Or... just a runt?

Primal Fangs can be posed, just like Patches and PIebald. We have added in a new Lion Wardrobe dropdown to accommodate for this posed mutation, and we hope to add more in the near future... perhaps Achromia, Overgrown Claws, and such. We're not able to do it for all mutations, at least in the near future, but it's a great potential change!

So, for a little breakdown...
* Primal Fangs cannot pass naturally
* Primal Fangs can pass using a Lion Scrotum
* Primal Fangs can appear in any Primal variation-type breeding that failed any Primal pass
* To elaborate, Primal Fangs can be passed down from any Primal variation father (regular Primal, Felis, Ferus, and Smilus) and from a Primal (Ferus) mother
* Primal Fangs can be posed!


SEPARATION

New Markings!
As promised, Noctis markings are now making their appearance on Lioden! We're starting it off with a set of Custom (Tier 1) markings that we found to be fitting:
* Back; Back Spotting; Blanket; Brindle; Cape; Coat; Cover; Dapple; Dorsum; Face Carving; Facial Spotting; Frontal Spotting; Leg Banding; Leg Spotting Fading; Leg Spotting Strong; Limb Spotting; Mantle; Mask; Paw Carving; Paw Spotting; Paws; Points; Quarter Spotting; Ripple; Sable; Saddle; Shell; Shepherd; Smudge; Snout; Tail; Tail Banding; Tail Carving; Tail Half; Tail Spotting; Undersides

We're also going to release a new Noctis Raffle (Tier 2) marking every week starting from today, including Community Updates, with every new Special Lioness! What's new this week?
* Noctis Crackle!

Now, all of these markings, plus the upcoming Event and Raffle markings we've prepared in advance took 6460 files to produce for all lion stages, mutations, and such. We've been working hard for almost a month to make this recolour. We hope that Noctis will be loved and become a basic choice for future markings!

To avoid overburdening this update with so many new markings, we plan to release a second part of Noctis next month!

But that's not all! You're also getting a Noctis mane base and Noctis body base!

The base works like Ebony - it will appear if its genetics meet a certain criteria.

Noctis base genetics: Black Dark Solid Rare

As you can see above, there's also the mane base! We've decided it will be available via an applicator - Noctis Fur! You can craft this applicator. Details for its components are listed below, within the "New Items" section!

New Raffle Backgrounds!
When the previous set of raffle backgrounds reach about 11 copies in-game for each background, we retire that set and replace them with 4 new ones! The retired set is moved to the Gorilla Enclave.

Coffee Bay, Dindefelo Falls, Mayombe Forest, and The Serengeti are our chosen raffle backgrounds for this set - we thought they were very special!

SEPARATION

A Massive Update Flow!

Coding Tweaks
* The "Sired Cubs" bug for grandpaws should no longer be an issue!
* "View All Cubs Bred" should also be fixed for current kings!
* Omen encounter chances have been raised!

Art Updates
* All Adult Male mane-specific decors that were listed as "missing" for a few mane types have been updated! This includes "Flesh of [Colour] Lions", "Hellfire", etc.
* Teen Female Dwarfism stage files have been fully updated (831 total files)
* Quality Update - the battle portraits for Elephant Bull, Female Elephant, and Hippo have received a revamp

Art Bugs (Decors)
* Fixed: Ring-Tailed Mongoose sitting in the middle of Teen Male lions
* Fixed: Kambroo decor not showing up
* Fixed: Syrian Hamster sitting in the air for Teen Female lions
* Fixed: Jewelry: Moonstone Chains missing for Adult Female Good pose
* Fixed: Barbary Fig missing for Adult Female Jolly pose
* Fixed: smudge on Primordial Harness for Cub stage
* Fixed: Rainforest Shrubs [Left] cutout on Adult Female Jolly pose
* Fixed: Fluffy Tail Tip: Cream missing for Adult Male Tufted
* Fixed: Iridescent Wings [Top] missing for Teen Male lions
* Fixed: Slithering Carnage missing for Teen Female and Adult Female Jolly pose
* Fixed: Red Devil Scorpion missing for Adult Female lions
* Fixed: Black Ram Mask and Criosphinx Mask missing for Adult Male Tufted
* Fixed: Lack of editing Claw Headpiece for Adult Male Sideward
* Fixed: Arum Lily Frog missing for Adult Female Kind pose
* Fixed: Angola Colobus missing for Adult Female Jolly pose
* Fixed: Claw and Teeth Necklace missing for male Cub Young stage
* Fixed: clipping Glorious Manes on Adult Female lions

Art Issues (Lions)
* Fixed: Polycaudal Cub Young lineart not having highlights on the second tail tip
* Fixed: Primal male and Primal (Smilus) having a white tail tip on the Mottled Rosette marking
* Fixed: Patches (Corrupted) for Adult Female Kind pose going outside of lineart
* Fixed: Titanium mane base missing for Adult Male Katanga
* Fixed: some wrong files for Bobbed Tail and Tailless manes for Teen Male lions
* Fixed: Demonic Glaze and Demonic Rogue flipped for Cub Newborn stage
* Fixed: colour clipping on Adult Male Hellraiser and Adult Male Regent manes - we've added some gentle lineart strokes, hopefully this will help! All mutations and battle portraits are included.
* Fixed: Sunset base on Cub stage not having a proper purple symmetrical shoulder. This fix has been applied to all mutation versions of the Cub stage and all Sunset markings for the Cub stage.
* Fixed: doubled layer of Quartz Tips mane marking for Adult Male Royal, all mutations and battle portraits are included
* Fixed: any leftovers from the previous art file fixes relating to Adult Male Royal battle portraits should be wiped now for default manes and all mutations - they've been replaced with fresh files

Art Issues (Miscellaneous)
* Fixed: oddly cropped Omens in Explore
* Fixed: the final Cancer battle image kept disappearing - hopefully no longer!

We've narrowed down our "Art Bugs" subforum to just 6 threads (not including the sticky thread) that need more attention for future updates! There are also just a handful of decors that require updates for Cub stages and Poses!

We'll be working on updating pending decors throughout the month. You can watch this sticky thread to see if your desired decor disappears - that means it's been updated!

For all fixes to work properly for you, be sure to clear your browser's cache in order for your browser to re-download fixed images!
