A month ago I created an online tool to assist people with their profiles and gifts. Decided to create a separate topic about it.

https://3dxchat-status.com/profileeditor

If you want to spice up your profile but are lost in the syntax, this online page I created will help you with the markup and syntax. You can either start from scratch, or paste your current profile code into the white area. In real-time, it will give you a preview of how it will look like in the game.

It also provides you the character limit that is in place, which is 1000 characters for your profile, and 240 characters for gifts. But within these limits, you can do a lot of magic.

To get you started, I also added a few presets.

Preview

And for easy gift previews, check out this: https://3dxchat-status.com/profileeditor

Also I figured out how to get those weird effects in your profile, but I'm not gonna share it because it's buggy, and it will probably ruin your profiles. I tried playing with it but it's just not worth the hassle. It will even look different for others, etc.

Today's additions, mainly because of the "blinking light" status of today.

• Made ping tests to game servers more reliable with a "second opinion" from a secondary host

r you status report has some "flaps", @ColinDude

Made some changes just now. Ping tests to game servers are more reliable now with a "second opinion" from a secondary host.

So regardless of which side this problem was (mine or 3dxchat), the checks should be more reliable from now on.

Trying to figure out whether this was a problem on my side. Because apparently there were not much complaints from within the game.

@MeiLing Can you confirm you were using the EU server around the time my bot spammed the discord servers?

Seems like scaling issues. You could try setting your Windows scaling to 100 % and reboot and try again.

To add up, Gizmo managed to roll out this update within 5 minutes, plus it was announced 3 days up front. If this is the new standard, I would be very happy.

Today's additions:

• Added special dialog when US game server is down but the rest of the service is up
• Added gift preview to Profile editor

Your app doesn't actually Report the US Shard going down does it?

Last night people using USA got booted every 5 minutes, yet EU folks where fine.

My status site is able to detect the US entry point going down, but I decided I don't consider the game as "offline" on that point, which results in the Discord bot not yelling about it.

Reason behind this is that the EU entry point is used by 90 % of the players, and (most of the) US players will be able to switch to the EU entry point and would be able to play just fine.

Last night a lot of people were getting disconnects, both on EU and US servers. My site only caught one problem with the EU server last night. Remember that my site only checks once a minute, as the game client needs a stable socket connection to prevent you of getting kicked out.

It's back..... after 6 hours.

It's a known bug:

Did you try both Europe and US entry points?

Just added local time conversion! I tested it with a few timezones and it looks OK. Please let me know if the local time conversion fails

Just released:

• Added maintenance windows (announced downtime by 3DXChat staff)
  - One hour before the maintenance window start, the yellow icon will show
  - When there's an outage during a maintenance window, it gets marked as planned
• Added more details to outages
• Added planned/unplanned information

Something that I planned of adding too, is an automatic conversation to your local time. But running into some issues, will add that soon!

I see. How do you think it can come to false positives?

Well it takes two to tango. Theoretically it could be a problem on my side. I take all kinds of measures to prevent that. for example I check my own internet connection before I perform the checks, etc.

I double checked this occasion in my logs, this was not a false positive. The auth server was down for probably a few seconds. But I only check every minute.

Wohle lotta Disconnect goin' on

That one was just the authentication server having a hiccup. That does not cause disconnects. You probably weren't able to login around 4:00 and 4:01, if it wasn't a false positive on my side.

Currently it's down for everyone. Stay up to date here: https://3dxchat-status.com/

Just released:

• New feature: Profile editor!
• Minor changes

If someone googles '3dxchat', that person is likely to find the correct website in the end. But to attract new players, their website needs to get optimized for other search terms, like:

• adult 3d chat world
• MMO sex game
• Adult multiplayer sex game
• etc.

The current website fails to be found with these terms right now, though.

Just a teaser of something I'm working on right now.  (the right panel will update in real-time when you edit the code)

Yeah it's a bug and Gizmo will fix it. But it isn't a game breaking bug, right? Workaround is just to close the game, then log in and pick the avatar you want to play with.

Did you try both Europe and USA entry points?

It's a confirmed bug, see other thread here:

Game is laggy....nothingelse to add. it is worse since the last patch 426

I guess it depends per person. I don't notice any difference.
