Hello, everyone! I’m jvyden, the lead developer of Project Lighthouse. January was pretty slow for Project Lighthouse development, as everyone was still recovering from the holidays. However, there were quite a few interesting things that were added and updated in January.
If you haven’t already seen our previous Project Lighthouse dev log, feel free to check out what we’ve been doing before this here!
If you don’t know what Project Lighthouse is, you can easily find out from our article announcing it.
PSN Ticket Support
This is an under-the-hood change, but a significant one. Project Lighthouse can now finally read PSN tickets. This means that it can differentiate between a client connecting from a PS Vita, a PS3, and from RPCS3. This means a player on PS3 cannot accidentally dive into a player playing on RPCS3. If this were to happen, it would cause you to get kicked out of the level you’re in or potentially crash your PS3/RPCS3 client, as the two are unfortunately incompatible at this time.
Icon Conversion
Project Lighthouse can now convert photos and icons captured in-game into a standard .png format. This has been used, for example, to show level icons on the website:
The instance owner can also look at all of the icons, since they’re easily accessible.
Users Page
Speaking of the website, a page has been added that lets you browse through people’s profiles easily!
