Patch Notes from 1998-10-28


None of the fixes indicated below will require the use or application of a client side patch or similar utility.

  • Some more fixes to prevent the use of third-party program exploits.
  • Some fixes were made to the obscenity filter. Note that the obscenity filter no longer filters your own language, only that of others.
  • Chopped corpses should highlight the same color as the original corpse.
  • When a player corpse decays into remains, the controller info is removed (in other words, it is OK to loot corpses after they have decayed).
  • Guildstones will no longer be able to be placed on ships. We were obliged to make this change because of the network problems involved in having guildstones move.
  • A break-in method for towers was fixed.
  • No creatures will produce furs anymore. All creatures that used to spawn fur now give hides instead.
  • Hides will henceforth only spawn as one icon, not as two. This means that all hides will stack together.
  • Stat advancement with all skills should be fully resolved, including advancement if you are at 0.0 skill.
  • Healing skill advancement should be working correctly.
  • The problems with objects vanishing when corpses are carved should be resolved.
  • Remains will now take 15 minutes to decay.
  • A method of deleting other players' vendors was fixed.
