Empires Update - 5/30/23

FWIW, I was looking at villagers with MmarkM at +bamfurlong:

They could not see the golden carrots/glistering melon trades, I could.
They say they're not using any mods, I use Easiertrading.

Same as you, I can see all trades, but I use triphora's modpack which includes trading mods

I reinstalled the game and it fixed. I do believe it was client side as other players didn't have the problem. So if you do happen to have the issue, reinstalling worked for me

Did the old command allow giving a reason too? If not, are these reasons logged? If so, who looks into them?

The /fixpromo command is interesting, I'm surprised that nobody else responded to it yet. It means that for items without durability, there is no difference anymore between an unused promo and a used one. Few people seem to care for the difference anyway, though.
I'm not a fan of making the amounts on shop signs harder to read (as you can see on your screenshot, the red is very hard to read, although that might also be due to the unusual sign colour used).

Pretty sure /fixpromo does not fix the durability - it attempts to fix metadata of items so that they can be stacked/grouped(shift click) together properly.

And for the color feedback, I do agree with it somewhat, it feels to "Christmassy" maybe Lime instead of dark green would be better?

Also colors are based from the shop owners perspective. When a customer buys, the shopowner makes an earning. I'm bringing this up since most of the users who will be actually using and reading the sign, are the customers, not the shopowners.

From the Customer's perspective, I believe it would be:

1
B 50: 35 S
Diamond

Green means earning for customer (edit: AND this is somewhat important since the "Buy/Sell" is already in customer perspective, a buy sign means that the customer is buying from the shop sign.)

Nonetheless, my main suggestion would be to just add a /toggle mode which toggles color/black letter creation process. or even add white as an option for dark oak signs for example

Ah sorry, you're right! I misunderstood. I just tested with Haunted Heads and Pots of Golds, and indeed it gives the 'sorry' message.

I know this comment is out of place regarding this thread but since you mentioned EMC code didn't make any changes I thought I'd sneak in a change I've noticed with villager farmers.

I've used a villager farmer trading hall on smp3 for over a year now and the villagers always allowed two rounds of trading until trading is locked till the next day. The trade starts at 6 pumpkins for an emerald and ends at 9 pumpkins for an emerald. A couple of days ago I noticed the villagers don't lock me out of trading, instead the number of pumpkins keeps increasing. I stopped at 18 pumpkins for an emerald.

Just a note that something recently changed with villager trading.

this is interesting

Thanks for the update! There's so much new stuff. It's wonderful to see progress on something that has been in the works for so long! here's to hoping this brings a new dynamic to EMC!

Question: Will you be jumping into 1.20, or 1.20.1?

Thx. Just wanted to know so I can start looking at Modrinth.

/permignore does not seem to be working. I just had to re-ignore a player I permaignored the day the functionality got released

hope u dint ignore me 😇😇😇

do group buffs automatically happen with Empire members or do you need to create a group with your Empire members for haste buffs to pop off? (when your Empire members are close)

If not, then suggestion to implement it.
