[02.23.2010] Server and Client Updates

Post by Koma »

As of the 23rd of February in 2010, we are now utilizing eAthena Revision 14250. 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:
  • Anti-WPE Spam Messages - Considering that we disabled the kick awhile back, the messages are now disabled as well. However, this does not mean that the server core itself is ignoring vital information regarding macros/packeting, but rather has been adjusted to only detail the previous and more information to development and staff.
  • Dice To Death Mapflags - @die is no longer possible during the Dice To Death Event. This solves the issue with bridge deaths reviving players and such. Instead, the hidden pillar NPCs have been adjusted to allow exiting the map if necessary. A fail-safe message was also added to prevent accidental quits, and you will NOT be recalled back if you exit in this way.
Other Updates:
  • Weekly Bonus Gift Drop - For this week, the latest collectible hat is Tiraya Bonnet[0]! Remember, you can message "NPC:GiftDrop" the text "INFO!" and it will tell you what the current Gift Drop is too! IMPORTANT NOTE: "INFO!" and in-game say that the hat is SLOTTED, but it is NOT. See the above link for further information.
  • Guitar Hero - This mini-game by "streiker" has been implemented on Amistr. Be sure you are patched up, as a new map and items were necessary to bring this here. Currently, it is only available on Wool, but the entrance NPC will be moved to Prontera on Fleece shortly. Plans to implement a mini-game menu in the Warp Manager are already being processed. IMPORTANT NOTE: A bug report has already been filed for some issues experienced.
  • Bomberman - This mini-game by KeyWorld has also been implemented on Amistr. Currently, the only way to access it is on Wool by @warp'ing to "bomberman", however, as noted above, it will also be accessible soon on Fleece. Source modifications were done in order to implement this so bug testing is still underway.
  • Additional Bot Recognition - Further additions were done for third-party usage to be monitored. Not much else to say here, so I'll leave it at that.
  • Forum Updates - Some "unnecessary" posts have been removed from the Guides section. I'm pretty sure some of you know what I'm talking about here: spam.
  • Steam Servers - As a few players know, we also run AmistrTF2 and AmistrCSS in addition to the RO and Ventrilo Servers. These servers are now utilizing the latest SourceMod update and are also up-to-date (hopefully.. since there have been so many updates in the past week for servers).
