IKA Posted February 20 Read Aloud Posted February 20 Hello everyone, I want to start by saying before anyone gets there hopes up, no work has been done to restore functionality of FPL. However as I work to update and fix parts of the website, I have noticed a that it's not unrecoverable. Through a great amount of effort it is, however unlikley, possible to bring it back online. As of now I am gauging interest, but again lets be clear, as of right this moment that is all I am doing.
Twogunkid Posted February 20 Read Aloud Posted February 20 I have never had a chance to do FPL because I didn't make time for it back then, so I am a yes, but I am not a returner.
RakaiThwei Posted February 20 Read Aloud Posted February 20 Eh, personally... I couldn't get into it. Besides, don't they have their own community or something? So I'm gonna say nay on this.
nihilium Posted February 23 Read Aloud Posted February 23 Tbh honest, the only reason i'm still lurking around is in hopes that it comes back.

I'd say a higher chance than last year. Can't give exact hope percentage yet though as it will still take a lot of work. 1
IKA Posted February 24 Author Read Aloud Posted February 24 Current look into what is and is not working in FPL. FPL -> Online(ish), several steps have to be done to even have some access. Character Builder -> Working Match Creator -> Working -> No script to end the fight, so the will rage on forever, characters will become permanently unavailable until fixed. Match Index - > Offline -> does not post anywhere, does not have a working link. Match Votes - > Working, though without the prior two parts working this means nothing. All characters that were there, are sill there, however due to the profile shift, many will have lost access to said characters. Even if you have the same name, your current characters will probably be lost to database filler. That portion of the website is in very rough condition and would take a considerable amount of time and effort to rework. However, more is still working than previously thought.

Ivan Posted February 25 Read Aloud Posted February 25 If you ever bring it back I'll do some; I always liked the character sheet as a storytelling medium in line with Stan and Jack philosophy of "show them using their powers by page 3" 1
nihilium Posted February 25 Read Aloud Posted February 25 I have almost no skill at Web design and programming, but I'm willing to help in any way I can.
IKA Posted February 26 Author Read Aloud Posted February 26 Only way anything can help without the needed skill set is to Donate to the patreon, and keep the site active.

Though.I can't promise anything at the moment as a lot of it will have to be almost completely rewritten. It will take some time. That said I was able to get a match going, I used one of your old characters, but the match will go one forever until I figure out how to end it heh. 1

IKA Posted March 1 Author Read Aloud Posted March 1 Several links have been restored, Broken links have been fixed and the KAN banner has been fixed to correctly send you to their profiles. 1
Justin Law Posted March 4 Read Aloud Posted March 4 I emerged from the void to say, I'm interested! (The FPL'er formerly known as Lawman or Law here, BTW) 1
Landon Posted March 4 Read Aloud Posted March 4 Doubt I'll be jumping in because of LIFE, but y'all get a thumbs-up from me.
Justin Law Posted March 4 Read Aloud Posted March 4 OK, I think I'm gonna sound stupid for asking this... but where is the FPL control panel? I can't seem to find the chargen and other FPL-related functions on my account controls, only CBUB-related stuff. Is it one of those deals that due to its (from what I can tell) trial/beta-testing nature, is only open to accounts who volunteered or something?

I restored the links and the ability to navigate throughout, but the creation capabilities are still pretty broken. Ill be testing on some stuff over the next couple of weeks to see if I cant get it to a beta phase. FPL and CBUB will likely share a control panel going forward. 2

Thank you for all the work you're doing. I can only imagine what it looks like behind the curtain.
