SVN 368 Update (August 8th, 2009)

The following is a list of changes, fixes, and updates that have gone onto the server.

Yet again, I'm blatantly stealing Xavier's typing skills for my own evil purposes due to my laziness and the fact we have him chained to a 486 running Borland C 24/7

1. A bug was found, related to recent petball changes that has been fixed.

2. Spellweaving: Natures Fury is changed to respect housing security, fix a double-damage bug, correct its base damage, and prevent an exploit allowing the casting of NF through doors.

see: http://www.uodemise.com/forum/showthread.php?t=121467

3. Ninja: Animal Form gumps corrected.

see: http://www.uodemise.com/forum/showthread.php?t=121626

4. Ninja: An issue causing Ninjitsu to not calculate faster casting/faster cast recovery properly is fixed.

see: http://www.uodemise.com/forum/showthread.php?t=121105

5. Ninja: Animal Form did not properly check mana/consume mana. This is solved by adding a second check at the point of gump response.

see: http://www.uodemise.com/forum/showthread.php?t=120747

6. Taming/Pets: Pets/players will now properly show "guarding"/"guarded" status on mouseover.

see: http://www.uodemise.com/forum/showthread.php?t=121210

7. Taming/Pets: Buffs were not correctly applying to pets. This patch fixes that.

see: http://www.uodemise.com/forum/showthread.php?t=121136

8. General AI: FightMode.Evil did not correctly cause a mobile to attack negative karma creatures.

see: http://www.uodemise.com/forum/showthread.php?t=119173

9. Other: A bug allowing a player to give an attacker many counts for one attack. This patch clears the attackers list after reporting murders - preventing exploitation of the combatant system.

see: http://www.uodemise.com/forum/showthread.php?t=121662

10. Housing: An incorrect error response for invalid targeting is corrected.

see: http://www.uodemise.com/forum/showthread.php?t=121213

11. Housing: customization tool is incorrectly charging a base fee for committing.

see: http://www.uodemise.com/forum/showthread.php?t=116992

12. Quests: The impresario did not check the player's backpack for the gold to purchase sheet music as he should.

see: http://www.uodemise.com/forum/showthread.php?t=120687

13. Crafting: axes can now be used on logs to create boards. This functionality was also removed from the crafting gump Post-ML. This also implements the creation of colored boards. THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE ACTUAL CRAFTABLES YET.

see: http://www.uodemise.com/forum/showthread.php?t=121008

14. Ethereals: Lets try applying the *correct* correct casting times now!

see: http://www.uodemise.com/forum/showthread.php?t=121875

15. Necromancy: Summon Familiar, dark wolf was not giving the appropriate taming advantages when trying to tame wolves with a dark wolf summoned.

see: http://www.uodemise.com/forum/showthread.php?t=121707

16. Creatures: kappas and deathwatch beetles now will perform their special moves and attacks. Solen's acid pools will show the correct "drying" state graphics also. (Partial, poolofacid needs to be updated again)

see: http://www.uodemise.com/forum/showthread.php?t=119470


17. The time for an account to be flagged Inactive has been changed from 90 days to 180 days.

Animal form disconnects the client

 

[EvilChild]

Re: SVN 368 Update (August 8th, 2009)

If you used a macro from the previous animal form set up and attempt to use it you will disconnect from the server.

So all macros with animal form will have to be remade. (this is due to the new gump most likely)

Re: SVN 368 Update (August 8th, 2009)

Is re-creating the macro fixing this for you guys?

Re: SVN 368 Update (August 8th, 2009)

the flag system is now severly bugged


i was just RKed by a blue player in guards and could not call guards or give the player a murder count

Re: SVN 368 Update (August 8th, 2009)

Since it's confirmed, it should be added:

17: The barding difficulty of creatures depends by their maximum health, mana and stamina, and not by the current health/mana/stam. This patch fixes it.

That means, the trick to harm creatures to lower their barding difficulties won't work anymore.

Before the storm of complaints about raging bard-tamers happen, I wish to precisate this fix wasn't done by the Demise Community, but by the RunUO Community itself, that's why it wasn't traced and not included in the changelog.

hmmm... if that is confirmed, it's much likely to be an urgent issue...

Join D.C. or ITP. No but on a serious note, that seems to be a pretty significant bug.

Yes, recreating animal form macros fixes the disconnects.

Thanks for the updates

Re: SVN 368 Update (August 8th, 2009)

I always thought that the commit cost was intended.
Great news!

Oh and it's interesting how furies had two damage types at 100% at the same time...
Makes me wonder how it worked... Go figure.

Re: SVN 368 Update (August 8th, 2009)

Is re-creating the macro fixing this for you guys?

Yes. Simply made a new macro recording the new gump reaction.

Will there be an official explanation as to what happened to the IDOCs?

 

[Xavier]

Re: SVN 368 Update (August 8th, 2009)

The official word is from Mark: "well demise has 180 days to be inactive now".

Logic says that houses that were in IDOC prior to the update will have 3 more months before they start into the decay cycle again.

I think the answer is in 1st post.

17. The time for an account to be flagged Inactive has been changed from 90 days to 180 days.

EDIT: One could also claim the answer is in SRC Xavier's post, posted 10 secs before mine...damn you.
