Hello everyone, 1.0 has now officially been sunset and has been replaced with the rewrite after careful testing by our Discord community.
We are very happy to finally get the rewrite into your hands and take you all with us in our new chapter.
we have made the decision to delay this build until around November 5th or 7th as the build, with all back-end changes put together, has many breaking changes which could risk the website being unusable or have major regressions in functionality for 1.5 weeks.
to make up for this we will include a rework of the searching module along with additional filters that we have been working on in the next build which will improve searching on BOOTHPLORER significantly to go with the overhauled Asset Cards that are ready in this build.
Card improvements:
based on continued feedback we will be shipping improvements to Cards to allow users to go directly to the BOOTH page for that Asset from a Card along with visual touch-ups to be able to display more Cards per row along with other improvements.
Asset translations:
translations on Asset names haven't been processing for a day now as our service provider for that no longer seems to be functional. these will now be handled on the server, giving better accuracy and retain the context from the untranslated name.
a new build will be shipped this weekend which includes changes based on continued feedback while pushing back-end changes to address some quirks and laying the grounds to implement big features we want to ship before the end of this year.
we highlighted some in this thread:
Avatar Asset fixes:
we have rewritten the Avatar <-> Asset logic to fix inconsistencies where the Assets for an Avatar is not quite right. this took a bit to get right as we want to ensure maximum coverage, especially for Shops who tend to be very lazy with their tagging.
ALT the "Manuka killers" when looking purely at asset count. it wouldn't be a surprise to say this is not correct and these are actually not the ones to surpass Manuka in assets by a long shot; the next build fixes the asset count on these and a significant amount of other avatars which have a too ambiguous Japanese name and/or share a similar name with an existing avatar. this also improves how avatars with a Japanese name written in the Hiragana and Katakana writing system.
ALT yeah, we don't really have to explain what this is about. this is on Manuka's page in the "MochiFitter Profiles" section.
The security updates have been applied and BOOTHPLORER is now accessible again.
BOOTHPLORER will be unreachable to apply the PHP security updates.
in addition, a new build will be released this week addressing several issues. this includes fixing some avatars having incorrect assets; avatar assets will need to be re-seeded after the build releases.
we just released a hotfix build for BOOTHPLORER addressing several issues, including the website being slow for those using a web browser with very poor CPU WebRender Compositing due to the amount of backdrop-filter classes used; these have been trimmed down.
This is the fifth rewrite based on 1.0 which has seen a lot of re-iterations to align for long-term maintainability and being able to (continue our) work on shipping additional features and quality of life for BOOTHPLORER in the future; on the website and outside of it.
As always, you can find BOOTHPLORER at boothplorer.com - give the rewrite a try! We are expecting to be shipping out some needed small adjustments and fixes as we find them.
Thank you for your continued trust and support!
today at around 22:30 UTC the website will be unreachable as we will be switching the DNS to redirect to rewrite (2.0) and sunset 1.0.
thank you to everyone who took the time to test the stealth testing release of rewrite when it was announced on our Discord server a week ago!
we recommend getting your (imaginative) lab coat ready! we will be needing a tester soon.. or two testers... three maybe..... preferably way more than three.
If only you could hide certain assets from your search results… 👁️💅
..especially when your avatar has more nails than clothes or hairs available for them.
While we are still working on the rewrite; we still enable avatars on the devola subdomain frequently so you can browse assets for them. That includes "Kuroki", one of the more anticipated avatars as of recent!
🎉『Kuroki』がついに発売されました！無料のコスチュームパックとNSFWパッチの入手をお見逃しなく！
