For the last several months, Haystack has spent hundreds of hours working on a back-end tack generator update for the site. This has been a massive undertaking that if it works right you won't even notice at all.

Once this goes live you still start seeing a new message when you refresh horse images "Adding backgrounds and items." This new system makes tack generation site-wide work the same as the advanced tack editor system. That means refreshes will no longer mess up your carefully arranged tack.

We are aware of the following bugs with the advanced tack editor.
** z-indexing (how images are layered on top of each other) does not always save correctly, particularly the horse layer.
** There is a known issue with tattoos and Chrome browsers.
** The advanced editor is not saving thumbnails just yet.

Now that this project is out the door we will be fixing these right away. They should be pretty quick to get patched, but I am letting you know about them here so you don't think they are bugs with the new system.

This is not currently running when horses auto age-up, but we expect that to be in place before the next rollover.

We do expect this system to have some bugs. If you see odd behavior please let us know about it so we can address it.

Looks like we have a bug where tack items that do not have metadata (because the horse was never opened/saved in the advanced tack editor) are causing the generation to crash and return no image.

The fix for this is to open the horse in the advanced editor and save it. OR just wait. We will have a fix out asap, probably in a few hours.

The above issue is now fixed. We also found an issue where some tack with no color was turning transparent. This has also been fixed.

Thank you for all you do, Ammit!

This fellow is showing his adult size halter a little too early.

RAM Broken Boquet

I’m lazy and copy all of the tack I will want on the adult horse when I’m doing my naming and sorting. Before the update the adult halter just wouldn’t show until they hit 2 years old.

We fixed a bug where scaling of horses based on size was not positing the horses correctly in the frame.

The other bugs we are aware of, in order of our priority to get them fixed are:
Tattoos do not show on the body
It is not hiding adult items on foals or foal items on adults.
We are still sometimes getting images that don't load the first time.
Scaling down in size is causing excessive pixelation.

We fixed the bug where foals and adult horses were showing tack items outside their age limits.

The other bugs we are aware of, in order of our priority to get them fixed are:
There is still some alignment issues we are trying to track down.
Tattoos do not show on the body
We are still sometimes getting images that don't load the first time.
Scaling down in size is causing excessive pixelation.

I don't know if it's just me, but I'm now having an issue with none of my horses pictures loading. I've tried refreshing them a few times and resetting my browser.

Ammit · Dec 16, 2022 3:57 AM

It is not just you, it seems to have exploded in issues overnight.

runaround · Dec 16, 2022 4:05 AM

Okay. Thank you. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't an issue on my end.

Ammit · Dec 16, 2022 6:45 AM

12/16 Update:

If you tried to update a horse's image in the past 24 hours or so it would have broken as part of the generator was down. We fixed that issue.

Next, we rolled out a fix for the random image crashes. If you have an image fail to generate AFTER I made this post please let us know.

Finally, the tattoo manager page was fully regenerating horses instead of just refreshing the images. We fixed that. (Note there is still an outstanding bug with tattoos we are working on. Today's fixes became the priority).

I play exclusively on an iPhone. I used to struggle with the advanced tack editor. I used it today for the first time since the update and, boy howdy, is it a dream!

Thank you for your hard work on this.

Ammit · Dec 23, 2022 12:54 PM

We are so glad to hear that!

It needed an image refresh is all.

leefe3 · Dec 28, 2022 7:13 AM

just wondering if it's me anyone else having problems with the advance tack editor
when i try to add ribbons, it just spins, and nothing is brought up

Ammit · Dec 28, 2022 8:03 AM

It is the specific horse you are using. You need to please link the horse. :)

leefe3 · Dec 28, 2022 10:28 AM

Now my dude’s thumbnail is fine but his main page is now wacky and matches the errors that were in the thumbnail. I refreshed the image and it was still broken. I thus redid the tack and now it seems fine. It almost seems like the tack reverted when the new breeders club ribbon was added. Idk.

Look at this girl. I arranged her lovely decorations, but when I added another item... =)) =))

Walywoohoo · Dec 29, 2022 8:00 PM

Is there a way to save it, so when I decide to add a new item in the future, it won't toss around all of the previous work?

Ammit · Dec 30, 2022 7:34 AM

I belive we have fixed the bug with awards now.

Vorpalalice · Jan 3, 2023 8:23 PM

When I added the tattoo to my horse, he went to hide in the corner.

In the draft socks tack pack, the base color has shifted from white to chestnut. If you pick all socks or all no socks, the top ring of them now defaults to brown rather than white. Example below— the color ring on the top of the socks is default now.

Ammit · Jan 4, 2023 9:50 PM

Vorpalalice go into the editor and move them where they should be. Probably not a "bug" but a legacy issue because you had moved them in the past the correct the prior bug and now it updated with the fix.

Ammit · Jan 4, 2023 9:51 PM

SummerMonarch not a bug that is how it is supposed to be. If you want white just turn them white. If you want them to match make them match. People did not understand how to use them properly before so we added color to make people understand them better. They where never supposed to be used as just default all-white.

SummerMonarch · Jan 5, 2023 12:34 AM

That is such a good idea. I remember struggling to learn how colored socks work/etc. Thanks for the answer.
