[10.21.2009] Server and Client Updates

Post by Koma »

As of the 21st of October in 2009, we are now utilizing eAthena Revision 14093. 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:
  • Krieger Von Midgard - We have adjusted KvM's variables to more closely align with the official eAthena scripts. Previously, the variables were causing players to be locked into the Battlegrounds respawn room, and this has now been adjusted. In addition, the battlegrounds mapflags have also been added to bring this closer to how it really should be.
  • No Skills In Town Database - A few updates back, these were actually removed from the server by mistake. These are now placed back in.
  • Middle And Lower Custom Headgear - As reported by tired and Clover, middle and lower custom headgears were bugged to allow refining them. This has now been corrected (read: disabled), and any equipment that had been upgraded during this time has been reduced to +0. If players are concerned about Elunium/zeny loss from this, we have a list of players who were affected. Contact a GM or send an e-mail if necessary.
  • Exit Methods For V.I.P. And King Of The Hill - King of the Hill bugged out if players used @die to exit the map, so we have disabled @commands on that map (if @main is on, you can still whisper "main" to use it). We have implemented exits to Prontera from those maps as well so @die is unnecessary.
  • Endless Tower Update - We have updated the script by Saithis to 3.8 which includes a fix for an official exploit. You can no longer "enter more than 1 instance at the 4 hours timelimit".
  • Apples In Synthesized Headgears - We have revised which item is used if a card is not present when synthesizing. It is now changed from an Apple to Blank Scroll. While this has no effect on the player in the end, this helps keep our server logs tidy.
  • eAthena Updates - Episode 12+ mapflags have been implemented. Of course, the fields are still memoable. In addition, Ice Wall is still not permitted indoors (although eAthena changed this to make it allowed as per official).
Other Updates:
  • Weekly Bonus Gift Drop Event - This week's special drop is Ramen Hat @ 10% -- replacing the Pecopeco Ears of last week. And, yes, there are lucky players out there who have been getting these unique rares. Also, we have added a special effect to help make these bonuses more visible after a suggestion from tired.
  • Warp Manager Extended - A number of updates have been made to the Warp Manager. It now tells you what your Last Dungeon Warp was, has Battlegrounds added to it, and the Last Warp now applies to both BGs and King of the Hill.
  • Healer Effect - Similar to the Bonus Gift Drop change, we have added a special effect to the healer so you know that it triggered too.
  • Zeny-to-Coin Conversion - As requested by Resolve and considering it's just an added feature and doesn't affect much, this has been coded directly into our current Banker. It will convert 1,000,000 zeny into 1 Coin and vice-versa for easier transfer of money or storage purposes. We've made sure to make it check for overweight issues and added a few more lines of protection taking into account a player's maximum zeny limit. If there are any bugs or exploits found, please let us know, otherwise we'll just check the logs and banhammer you. Wink.
  • War Of Emperium Login Reminder - In addition to the login reminder explaining that WoE is currently going on, this has been updated to tell which castle in particular is being used.
  • War Of Emperium: Second Edition - Due to low population and competition during WoE:SE, we have terminated defense investment for the time being. In addition, the drops for SE have been reverted partially back to stock (meaning they shouldn't drop the Wools and Tidals anymore with the exception of possibly the common TB -- which is why I said *partially*). These changes apply to SE ONLY.
  • Krieger Von Midgard - In order to try and get more players to test, we have changed the test reward from Jellopies to Old Blue Boxes. As with the Zeny-to-Coin Conversion information, please let us know if there are any issues.
  • Battlegrounds - A healer was also inserted in the Battlegrounds Main Hall as an old requested change that is now being followed up on.
