Version 0.3.014
« on: April 10, 2006, 02:04:37 pm »
Ok, here\'s a simplified changelog for this version.  Shorter list than last time, but bigger things.  ;)  (and, less time since last release)  As usual, you can get the full detail in the CVS history.  (just click the link in my sig)


**New Features:
*Support for mesh change on equip (think spiky armor)
*More GM system improvements (ex: GMs are now invisible by default)
*Weather system improvements (ex: can now fade in all spiffy-like)
*New tutorial system.  Will now give help the first time you do new things.
*New proximity-based NPC dialogue system.  NPCs can now be made to talk to you automatically.
*NPCs can now talk publicly, instead of only in /tells.
*Added \"/screenshot nogui\" feature to take clean shots, ignoring onscreen stuff.
*Glyphs now need to be repurified for new owners.
*Will now send notification on training from mining/crafting/etc.


**Fixes:
*Fixes to the marriage system
*Fixed crash loading into a bad location
*Fixed an exploit where weakness could be used on someone to make them drop items
*Crafting system fixes; it should be ready soon
*Fixed bug where NPCs could spawn without full health
*Weather system fixes
*Fixed pet cloning bugs
*Fixes to name label alignments
*Updater self-updating is now back on
*Fixed a rare bug giving a 1 HP max
*Fixed tooltips not disappearing correctly
*Fixed an exploit in the pet name changing that could crash the server
*Turned spam-protection on for trade invites
*Fixed a bug cutting off long names in the buddy list


The big memory leaks are also fixed in the CS sound system, and things should be more stable now.

The package also contains a pile of new textures for armors.

Well done!! \\o/
The tutorial system sounds nice.
And the screenshot improvement is great.  It takes quite sometime for me to adequately \"prepare\" to take a picture.  It has to be just right.  This should cut down on that time.  Thanks devs!!

I like to thank the people that makes things good, so if you are too lazy to check the CVS history for watching who did what, remember that Vengeance made up the tutorial and DaveG fixed the screenshot possibility!
Thanks!

Too bad the CVS is still 12 days behind, it\'s always interesting to read it. Damn you sourceforge!

There are two types of people in this world: The Pinky and the Brain.

The mirrors have not been updated. However, I personally would recommend that you just wait, since we will have to do a re-release in a few days to apply patches to some really big bugs (one of which won\'t allow you to log into or enter Oja road).

They can turn it on/off, I think. And you will still be able to find them using the friendlist, /who game, petitions, /tell, etc.

Mainly names weren\'t changing upon a marriage or divorce, or were changing in one place but not another (like in your label but not description, or description but not label). Arianna, while testing our last system, managed to get three different last names in three places. Should be fixed now :)

The surname of the bride was totally messed up. Other details have been fixed still concerning names and dynamics of the event.
