[09.09.2009] Server and Client Updates

Post by Koma »

As of the 9th of September in 2009, we are now utilizing eAthena Revision 14048. For precise core changes, click the eAthena link and view the ChangeLog.txt. It's recommended to check the eAthena ChangeLog since it may include information that is not listed here.

Bug Fixes:
  • Unclosed Healer Script - A correction has been made to the Healer script, as it wasn't terminated properly and may have been leaking out to other NPCs -- we've seen this instance occur in our server logs where the Healer would be mistaken for the Warper at times.
  • Zeny Check In Hugel Bingo - Some players have noticed that they get no message when they don't have the required amount of zeny to start the game. This has been corrected to show the warning and prevent the script from continuing for that player.
  • Hugel Bingo Delayed "Bingo" Exploit - There was an exploit involving keeping your player within the "Bingo" menus during their first game and through multiple other games. This has been sealed off.
  • Event Custom Headgear Stats - These were intended to be statless gear, but a few got by with 5 DEF. This has been corrected, and they are now 0 DEF. The synthesizer NPC will now be in its testing phase this week and we are hoping to complete it by next maintenance.
  • Special Chicken On Wool - The Soul Link buff should now be corrected on the test server. Before, it was only working for certain classes, rather than all classes that it should support.
Client Changes:
  • Client Description Updates (Delayed Again) - These are still pending as I've been testing them. We're actually looking into letting players access some of the newer areas (even if the monsters don't drop anything or give any experience). Brasilis (new town) has been the currently reviewed update including the requested PvP map duplications.
Other Updates:
  • Mini War of Emperium Disabled - This is now closed until further notice. NOTE: WoE:FE and WoE:SE are still ENABLED.
  • Old Payon Kafra Corp Voting NPC - Originally this NPC wasn't duplicated properly, but it is now moved and placed accordingly.
  • Novices Allowed To Wear Tuxedos/Dresses - We now allow novices to get married if they meet the normal wedding requirements such as levels and items.
  • Wedding Rings Now Named - For any new weddings, the wedding rings should now be named to match the ones you are getting married to. For all older weddings, please contact a GM regarding this with your spouse.
  • Jail No Longer Allows Atcommands - To prevent a bit of abuse, atcommands are now properly disabled while in jail for jailed characters. This ensures that jailed characters will not be able to continue spamming main and such.
  • Safe Upgrade NPC And Level Input - This was a quick flag change in the current upgrade NPC scripts. All upgrade NPCs now have the capability of upgrading an item to its safe level or an inputted value.
  • Card Deleter Implemented - The card *deleter* is now part of the Zippy Purifier. This functionality will remove/delete all cards in the selected *equipped* item -- and return the uncarded item. This has no fees as the loss of the cards is enough of a penalty. This should allow more higher upgraded equipment to circulate around the economy while keeping the cards moderated a little (especially in terms of MVP cards). Considering that the refine success rate is stock, this should be reasonable -- compared to the item drop rates.
  • Item Identification Implemented - We have added this functionality to the Zippy Purifer as well. This allows all items in your inventory to be quickly identified at 40z per item or per Magnifier in bulk.
  • Outside Castle Mapflags - To prevent a little bit of abuse, we have disabled Ice Wall and Dead Branches on outer castle maps. However, this also includes outside Geffen Castles which is pretty much a normal map. You guys don't want guilds defending a castle with 5 Ice Walls outside their entrance, do you?
  • Cash Shop NPCs Disabled - Considering that we don't use these, these are no longer present in-game. The Amistr-specific NPCs will replace these at a later date.
  • Dead Branch Spam Delay (Delayed) - To prevent the excessive abuse of Dead Branches in newbie areas and outside of the Dead Branch Arena, a 5 minute delay will be added to using these items. This will only apply to usage outside of the Dead Branch Arena. This is delayed but will most likely be implemented shortly with an Item DB reload (live update -- not a full restart).
