Hello PlaneShifters, in the last few months we worked hard to improve the alpha of PS Unreal and today we are finally releasing 0.7.19! This is a full release, so you have to download it, the updater cannot update from 0.7.18. Major improvements and the addition of new areas and new functionality.

Here is the list of major changes:
Finished and improved the new Factions window. You can find it in the skills window, last tab. The faction scores for your character are not updated yet, and will be loaded in the next days.
The new factions window contains all new symbols (Dark Way is bugged as its black on black background... will be fixed).
Factions scores are now split between reputation and title. Reputation represents how much that faction likes you and is eager to speak, trade or give you access to special locations. Titles are acquired by completing faction quests and raising up in their hierarchy.
When your faction rating changes, we now update the client properly.

Added the first set of special attacks based on weapon types. Example if you have rank 10 or more in Sword, you will get a special attack called Side Slash. You can see all the special attacks (and special abilities) in the skills window.
While in combat mode (press tab) if you have equipped a weapon with special attacks, you can now press Q for the primary weapon and E for the secondary weapon, to display and select the special attacks. To use the special attack you then just click with your mouse, ensuring you have a target under the crosshair.
Added combat mode attack scroll keys to key mappings.

New Sarraghi Dsar added to Ojaveda, it's a completely new area, with new buildings.
Added new Ojaveda Buildings: granary, water tank, windmill.
Added new Ojaveda banners with symbols for the packs.

First version of Raurim village, it is a Dermorian village with new type of houses and a very large tree. It's unfinished, will be improved in the next release. You can find it north of Ojaveda.

Changed the setup of lights in the game. The result should be more vivid colors and shadows. The dark shadow patches appearing randomly are now fixed. We can have more realistic looking dark areas.
Updated many levels with new lights to use the new light setup, including guildhouses. There is a known bug in Ojaveda at night, the light is not correct.
Improved light for day and night cycle.

Here is the list of additions:
Added new style for Ylian Female hair, you can change it in character creation.

Added lemur hair color options (Light green, light blue, silver, light purple)

In the Settings panel, added option to scale menu bar and increase the size of all simple icon tooltips

Implemented new system for mechanism puzzles, currently used in the lavacave map.

Fixed mantle movement to work better, you should now be able to grab ledges more easily and precisely.
Updated the minimum step height your character can step on without jumping or mantling.

Added achievement chat message when getting new achievement, to notify the player of which achievement he got.
Added crystals to some cave maps.
Added sounds to windmill in Delver
Added damage trigger to lavacave lava.

For the ones of you who are not using Discord, I'm posting here a poll we posted there, it's about what you think we should develop first in Planeshift Unreal.

https://strawpoll.com/p5jovjp6f

I know that strawpoll can be exploited somehow, so please vote only once, thanks.

Hi,
I see very little forum activity these days. Is that due to the new tools like Discord?

We have updated the "Reasons for leaving Homeworld" chapter for the races!

In our journey to the new version of PlaneShift, we are also working on the history of the races and their homeworld. This information will be present in the new version of the game. All races, except Kran, Lemur and Ynnwn, are coming from other worlds, and travelled to Yliakum through magical portals. The reasons of why this happened will be unveiled while playing the game, solving quests, and exploring areas.

We have updated the chapter "Reasons for leaving Homeworld" in our races page. The races born in Yliakum have anyway a pretty important part in the history of the stalactite and will contribute greatly to its evolution.
