0.3.013 is here!

[DaveG]

From main page:
2006.02.25
   

Not one, but two good news! First fragnetics fixed the server with the faulty hardware. Second a new client release is available!

You can get 0.3.013 from our download section. Please DO NOT RUN updater for now because the mirrors still have 0.3.012 version up.

Here is a list of improvements/fixes compared to 0.3.012 version:

**New Features:
*New mental and physical stamina system
*Many improvements to the GM system
*Multi-part and multi-path quests
*Many quest system improvements
*Added money to mini inventory window. (trades, etc)
*Some improvements to the GUI; simplified info window
*Added the ability for NPCs to use more animations
*Added more sound effects for actions
*Client now supports visible clothing/armor changes
*Client now supports customizable hair styles
*Updated in-game help to list all commands
*Right-click (by default) can now be used in all containers/inventories to view the item or a container\'s contents.
*Added font scaling option (set via setup)
*NPC dialogue now uses Wordnet, which will allow for more realistic communication
*Added snow support. Added rain support to Mac client.
*Labels will only show when in range to identify an object. (also helps performance by not drawing for far off objects) Dead objects now have red.
*New ban system which should keep greifers from just creating new accounts
*New mesh generation system to allow for more foliage in maps, some test one added to hydlaa and ojaroad
*New updater system, which doesn\'t download the repository unless it needs to. This will help the bandwidth of our servers and those with slower connections.
*Client can now automaticaly notify players when new updates are available, at the character selection screen.
*Many fixes for the crafting system. We are close to have it working for real.

**Fixes:
*Fixes for /dequip command in shortcuts
*Various crash fixes (too many to list)
*Many performance fixes.
*Fixed weather and fog glitches/crashes
*Fixed exploit where people could logout mid-battle
*Temporarly removed advisor points scoring system to stop competitions. Advisor points are now on account, not on char.
*Many fixes to the sound system. Sounds should be much better, and play when they\'re supposed to. Switched to new renderer, which is more stable.
*Issues with skill window tabs
*Issues with using weapons with stat/skill requirements
*Could \"complete\" an empty trade
*Fixes to entity labels. Added command \"/repaintlabels force\" as a tool to repaint more severe problems if they still happen.
*Fixed darkness bug
*New map lighting system in CS, which should clear up a few lighting issues. All maps relighted
*Fixed various bugs in NPCclient making NPCs act strangely
*Made pets unattackable
*Fixes for character creation system
*Fixed bugs with stamina not working at certain times
*Many fixes related to items, inventories, and containers. Items shouldn\'t dissapear anymore, and weights should be handled without errors.
*Better working configuration of keys and mouse buttons
*Fixed many, many, memory leaks in both PS and CS. The client should be able to run without having to be restarted very often and should be more efficient in using memory.
*Disabled invites while dueling, to prevent using them as a distraction to cheat
*Changing weapons mid battle will make you skip a turn, to prevent some exploits
*Fixed chat history to not loose current line by accident
*Fixed bug where sound effects would try to load when sound was off
*/who will only show up to 30 players based on the given filter, to fix issues with showing too many

*Claps excitedly* Wow the dev team sure has been busy. Yay can\'t wait to get in PS and see. \\o/ /me sighs waiting for new client.

[Celebrimor]

Im guessing thats the windows client? Well, hopefully MacOS client will be ready soon, cant wait.

[Houlen Aru]

I\'m really excited.

I love the foliage generator - you\'re running along and it\'s like all the grass gets painted on your screen :P <3

[shorty13]

Geez, I go away on a weeklong ski trip and for some reason, everything happens on the week I was gone.  Time to catch up on things I guess...

[HarenaAbdolor]

YAY!!! Thank you so much... wow you have been working so hard. *hugs you all*

It is definately worth the 3 hour download... I luv you. Gah! *runs around proclaiming the magnificence of the PS gods!*

  THANK YOU FROM ALL OF US!

Harena ^.^

[Nosleinad]

I\'m pretty new here...but already pretty tuned in this project, you guys deserve a big congratulations so far for all the hard and pretty work!!

[c-2501]

i love the relit maps and you finally fixed the textures on the Hydlaa path \\o/

but the biggest thing for me has to be THE SOUND WORKS \\o/

[Annon]

Do you have to have 0.3.013 to connect to servers?  I know the server\'s up, but it ain\'t working on my end (only have 0.3.012).  Am I just going to have to wait until 0.3.013 moves to the mirrors? (hate....bittorreant...)

[Karyuu]

You will need .013 to connect, aye.

[Typhorean]

Can anyone give me a rough but reasonably accurate estimate as to how long it takes for the whole process of getting the server rebuilt and changing the update client\'s files will take?  Just curious. >.x

I\'m looking forward to the new armor texture, they look pwn, and the random grass is cool too.  ... ...  Yeah, not a lot to say. >.>

[Pestilence]

hmmm have .013 and it still says the server isn\'t available atm.

[Typhorean]

I think I read that the server is currently being rebuilt either in this thread, the other one about .13 about to be here, or on the main page. So you have to wait like the rest of us without uber bandwidth -- Hah!

[Karyuu]

Server is simply down due to a crash. It\'s already been rebuilt and people have logged in to admire some of the changes :) Curious that it\'s been unavailable for three hours - something large must\'ve come up.
