As of the 3rd of November in 2009, we are now utilizing eAthena Revision 14185. 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:
- Buff Icon Timers - Due to the removal of some packet 23 values in the packet database of a recent eAthena update, buff timers were temporarily disabled for the past week. These are now working again. If there are any other issues noticed, please let us know.
- Dispbottom GiftDrop Messages - Possibly related to the above, these are confirmed visible this week and not only providing the visual effect.
- Tatachos = Brutes - These monsters have been corrected as far as their race goes now. They are no longer demi-human.
- Mandragora Cap Weight - These are no longer weighing 300 weight but rather the proper 30 weight.
- WoE:SE Castle Fixes - A few minor typos (Stonghold->Stronghold), Arunafeltz Castle 4's Control Switch, and Official Spawn Counts for the dungeons are now up-to-date. This however has little affect on us though as only 1 castle is to be open: Viblainn and dungeons are still disabled until the mobs have proper stats.
- A Really Old Bug.. - This is a bug I remember from December of 2006 when I fixed it for my old server: one of the Prontera Castle warps leading from the Guild War grounds back to town was blocked by an archer quest NPC. This is now fixed and the warp should work now.
- Client Support - Considering that the Renewal support has been added to eAthena, we have placed an order with Helium/Xray for their latest client: a Renewal client. The targetted arrival date is mid to late December, but we are hoping to have this available before January or February at the latest.
- Newer Installers Scheduled - Along with this future client update will come a new small installer and an updated full installer. Details are a bit sketchy on how we will be handling the sdata->rdata support, but if absolutely necessary, we will support both so players don't *have* to download more than they need to.
- Multiclient Support - Considering that there has been quite an amount of grief due to non-official support of multiclienting in our official client, with little-to-no support of not having one, this will be pushed into the change list for the client planning. Also, we will be focusing on minimizing client-side errors as much as we can. Even if it means that some players will not see some sprites unless they update properly.
- Weekly Bonus Gift Drop - For this week, the latest collectible hat is Dark Randgris Helm!
- Christmas Quest Planning - Considering that the US Thanksgiving is now over, the Autumn leaves have fell; and snow is starting to come to the server. The quests are being prepared with the official 2005 and 2008 quests readily available, along with all of the older Crescendo quests I've had stashed away. In addition, the newly-created Amistr event scripts are being packed and shipped soon too.
- WoE Castle Rotation - WoE:FE will have Payon Castle 5 open this month as of this weekend. Asian WoE:FE will have Geffen Castle 2 open this month as of this weekend. WoE:SE will have Schwaltvalt Castle 3 Viblainn for an extended duration.
