[02.10.2010] Server and Client Updates

Post by Koma »

As of the 10th of February in 2010, we are now utilizing eAthena Revision 14242. For precise core changes, click the eAthena link. It's recommended to check the eAthena ChangeLog since it may include information that is not listed here.

Bug Fixes:
  • Orc's Memory Instance - Courtesy of eAthena, an NPC reference that was pointing to a non-existant NPC has been corrected.
  • Minor WoE Broadcast Fix - As of the implementation of the Morning, Afternoon, and Nighttime naming convention, the sub-name "Asian WoE" has been removed from the Morning WoE ending announcement.
Other Updates:
  • Weekly Bonus Gift Drop - For this week, the latest collectible hat is Shark Hat[0]! Also, as of this week, you can message "NPC:GiftDrop" the text "INFO!" and it will tell you what the current Gift Drop is. This should eliminate the waiting involved for these Update Logs in regards to that.
  • Gift Drop Clarification - Considering that people are *still* having issues following the directions from the Gift Drop NPC, the following has been added to the message it sends players: "and type the name and message exactly".
  • Last Warp Configuration - As per the suggestion submitted, the Tuning Specialist now has an option to move the Last Warp option to the Dungeon menu and move the Town menu above the Dungeon menu.
  • Finalized WoE Rotation - The remaining updates to complete the War of Emperium rotation have been completed for this month. This is normal, but I don't think I've ever mentioned it in a post before.
  • @Die Usage - This is a change to make way for the PvP changes suggested. @Die is now limited from usage in PvP, GvG/WoE, and BGs. Of note, for GvG/WoE, Butterfly Wings are still usable, as is meant to be.
  • Bot Protection - Additional backend code has been implemented to continually monitor access from non-Gravity-based clients.
  • Combination Reset Discount - The reset price has been updated to give a larger reset discount for getting both at once. This is as also suggested by a player and the community. This discount is that the price of the skill reset is HALVED and added to the stat reset. It has one, minor restriction: you must have a higher base level than job level (yes, exploits were considered). Also, this change is in the moving progress towards the Dual Build system. Considering that the primary issue with its implementation is with skills, this may lead to the "stat swapping" being enabled first, before "skill swapping".
  • Valentine's Day Chocolate - The generic Valentine's Day event script has been enabled for the holiday to start things off. This is the 5000z chocolate seller found in Alberta along with the special "Hand Made Chocolate".
  • Fly Wings/Teleport Enabled In Yuno/Lighthalzen/Einbroch - This has been completed. We were going to restrict the warp destinations, but deemed it a moot point as reverse-access such as Lighthalzen Biolabs makes it somewhat useless.
Pending Updates:
  • PvP Modification - As mentioned above regarding @die, the remaining addition of "Exit" NPCs is pending along with the mapflag change from allowing Butterfly Wings.
