Title: New update! Version 0.3.012 'a' available
Post by: LigH on November 04, 2005, 07:50:53 pm

I just found out that several EXE/DLL and configuration files are updated -- and we have a new Death Realm.

Rename the \"updater.exe\" to be able to update the updater itself (speaking of the Windows version).

Example:

- Start > Run: \"cmd.exe\"
- \"cd ?:\\*\" to the PS folder.
- \"ren updater.exe oldupd.exe\"
- \"oldupd -auto\"

Hold on! Currently that version cannot connect to laanx. So don\'t rush to download it just yet.

Furthermore, if your updater.exe did not update, please rename it oldupdater.exe, that should force it to download a new one, which will download things faster now.

Feel free to update now. And yes, the death realm is a bit bigger now. There were a few other updates as well.

Any information which CVS version should I check out?

WizardsRule, stop posting about every file you see... there is some bug with that file, it keeps dowloading it even when it has not be changed. Only fix right now is to delete the whole models folder, but I would not recomend that.

Bereror, anything from now on. CVS should be in sync with laanx again.

I logged out while in the Death Realm. Is this gonna be a problem when I update, or should I get my Character out of there before I update?

no, worst case senario you will log in and fall to your death. So you start from the begining :) And if you don\'t die falling, just use /die to make sure you don\'t get stuck.

The map is changed, you will see when you can get in. Part of the reason for this update was to change the server to fix recent bugs.

So, would you agree with my \"invented\" version string 0.3.012a ? ;)

I guess the new Death Realm would have been a nice place for the \"Festival of forgotten souls\". Let\'s see if we will find another occasion to play there again.

Wow...a new DR...
I wonder if I must die 10 times again to find the exit...

Whoever designed the new DR is an evil genius.  EVIL.

It makes me want to trade all my worldly possessions for a brightly burning torch.

a few people have found the way out, myself included.

Post by: stfrn on November 05, 2005, 04:58:10 am

Hopefully everyone can find their way out :) Because it still needs to be made challanging! *Evil laughter*

And I hope people like the bugfixes we put in already... yes, there are more new bugs, but we will work on them... a devs work is never done :/

Good job on the deathrealm.  I was personally able to fing my way out and I almost feel that we should make it EVEN HARDER (ex: Have monsters throughout it, more \"secrets\", ect.)

New DR is definatly awesome.  One of the best updates in a long time.

Theres only one real tricky bit to getting out of the DR, once you\'re past that, its smooth sailing.  Takes a while though.
