Icon Ultima

I haven't been able to access any of the servers for a while. It will say "Downloading Sources" then "Connecting", but never connects.

Note: The main 24/7 server now runs on BYOND 496, so it'll now work on newer BYOND versions.

I wouldn't recommend v496 with its bugs. I've seen someone's screenshot on how some people's icons looked like TV static, while in v493 those very same icons were visible.

I am not sure about v494 but v493 works best, that's the version I have.

@NNAAAHH, recently there has been dozen of bugs on this version. At least everyone who develops have seen the bugs. The one specially that is not hard to see, is the Icons that do not render properly. Now I've notice that BYOND has made the icons enable for paint to use in tile sets, or view in tile sets, which made me think that it did not properly load. Pretty much, this bug is random. But it usually popped up, no more than 4 runs of it. Reloging or closing a world and restarting, makes it go away, but some players have seen that there are black areas, that the icons got cut off. But also, it is not up to LycanGoddess to post the bugs, if she does not want too. So pretty much, it is not hard to miss the new bugs founded on this version. So I'm saying, if Tom or Lum does not get reports, than it is 78% possible that they will end-up finding the bugs.

Once again; post bug reports in the proper forums.

I've filed or validated several bug reports for BYOND version 496; I know that it was riddled with bugs. As is a lot of new features added into any developement tool. I've compiled AND hosted on each of the 496 releases; none of which have brought a issue with 'tv static'-appearing icons for myself.

[EDIT]
I only read half of your post before replying; I will now reply to the remainder of the comment to attempt to clear up the ignorance in your post. I am not trying to insult you in any way by saying this, and you should not take this as such.

It IS her obligation, as well as yours and everyone BYOND user than has an issue with anything wrong in the software to report bugs and submit feature request; Otherwise you should not complain about annoyances. If you do not report these bugs properly and just leave it to the developers, they may never find these bugs. Therefore, the bugs may never be properly patched. 78% posible? What are you using to base this number uppon? I have yet to see any bug fixes in the patch notes that have not been due to a report by someone somewhere. I however, have seen Lum post bug reports himself. I assume this is the case when the BYOND staff members find bugs themselves. When compaired to the hundreds of bug patches due to reports by the community; I find it highly unlikely that unreported bugs will be resolved in any form of a timely manner. If it does get fixed without a report; it'll be far down the road.

This is still the only place I've heard of this bug; I assume it's something with this game specificly.
[END EDIT]

BYOND isn't a obligation- reporting issues with BYOND software IS.

Is it anything like the issue here?

So how long has the game's site been down(I can't access it, at least), and is there an alternate means of accessing the helpfile?

I can note that the server itself was down for a few days last week, but it's all fine now.

Is it possible to get/make custom supers? Since it doesn't seem to be possible to buy them in the shop, since mousing over doesn't let you choose a quantity. So is it possible, or are they just not implemented or something?

Custom super moves are still in the process of being made. As of this moment, however, they are not purchasable.
