<p>Created page with &quot;&lt;pre&gt; From: Rufus Title: Code Update 5/15/2019 Posted On: Tuesday, May 14 2019, 10:06PM ---------------------------------------...&quot;</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&lt;pre&gt;<br /> From: Rufus Title: Code Update 5/15/2019 <br /> Posted On: Tuesday, May 14 2019, 10:06PM<br /> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> New Command<br /> <br /> * 'queue' command that shows you what commands you have queued up<br /> <br /> Bugs Fixed<br /> <br /> * If you have negative hitroll and you're sitting, you no longer get <br /> better at hitting things<br /> <br /> * Insane numbers of hit points on dancing sword charmies has, uh, been <br /> nerfed into oblivion. Seriously, anyone who thought this was <br /> intentional needs their head checked.<br /> <br /> * Damroll is fully applied to secondary attack weapons. Go forth, <br /> cheese monsters, and break the game... even more than you already <br /> have<br /> <br /> Resurrection addition:<br /> <br /> * Casting it on a player to bring their corpse to them remains the <br /> same feature you love to hate with the same material requirement <br /> and such<br /> <br /> * You may now cast resurrection on a corpse as well as on a player<br /> * Casting it on a corpse doesn't require the caster to have any <br /> components<br /> <br /> * If the owner of the corpse has a death shroud (see below), they will<br /> get a resurrection attempt affect for 1 minute and a message about <br /> how to respond.<br /> <br /> * By responding with the 'resaccept' command, the owner of the corpse<br /> will be transported to the corpse (and affected with resurrection <br /> affects).<br /> <br /> * A corpse can have two resurrections cast upon it. Even if the owner <br /> of the corpse declines the resurrection, the counter will go up.<br /> <br /> * Resurrection on a corpse can only be cast within 1 hour of the death.<br /> <br /> * Upon accepting a resurrection, the shroud goes away. <br /> <br /> Death Shrouds<br /> <br /> * Death shrouds are negligible in size and weight, and rent for 1<br /> <br /> * Death shrouds are available at Douban (currently) for the low, low <br /> price of 9250 gp ea. More vendors to come.<br /> <br /> * Death shrouds remain with you after you die (soulbound)<br /> <br /> * You may only possess one death shroud at a time (you can however <br /> load your house up with them if you so desire)<br /> <br /> Bash Changes<br /> <br /> * You can tumble out of a failed Bash<br /> <br /> Kick Changes<br /> <br /> * Kick is quite a bit more accurate<br /> <br /> Bastion Changes<br /> <br /> * Bastion preventing turns should now work ~85% of the time with the <br /> same caveat as before ... if the mob is coded to turn based on <br /> something other than the automatic turn code, it's still gonna <br /> turn.<br /> <br /> * Bastion preventing turning will work when you aren't awake (stunned, <br /> paralyzed, etc). However, you will only get the prevention message <br /> when you're awake. Trust us, it's still working. Also, c'mon, <br /> sometimes that uppity rogue type needs to get smacked around a bit.<br /> <br /> Anatomy Changes<br /> <br /> * Anatomy is available to all hometowns<br /> <br /> * There is no longer a spirit requirement and the mind requirement <br /> drops by 5 points<br /> <br /> * Anatomy improves chances to land a backstab and increases chance <br /> to paralyze with a backstab<br /> <br /> Backstab Changes (again, jeesh!)<br /> <br /> * Backstab is even more perc based now. Seriously. It requires a <br /> dex weapon, but it no longer tries any fancy stuff with the hit <br /> table and whatever. It's also more accurate.<br /> <br /> * You get a bonus for hiding, sneaking and invis (vanish as well) <br /> to the chance to hit<br /> <br /> * You have a penalty if you're backstabbing something that's already<br /> in combat (this hasn't changed), but...<br /> <br /> * The bonuses for hiding, sneaking and invis now apply even in that <br /> situation, and...<br /> <br /> * The bonuses for hiding, sneaking and invis apply against mobs that <br /> are fighting, even if those bonuses wouldn't apply normally<br /> <br /> (So let's say normally a mob can see sneaking and hidden... you sneak <br /> and backstab, but because this hyper aware mob can see you, you <br /> don't get the bonus. However, if Brutus your Bastion-Enabled <br /> Tank Buddy &lt;tm&gt; engages Mr. Mob, you do suffer a penalty, but that<br /> penalty can be counteracted by sneaking and hiding)<br /> <br /> * Backstab takes into account deadly precision in all cases now instead<br /> of just most.<br /> <br /> * Backstab improves both para chance and landing chance at 105 <br /> perception<br /> <br /> Shooting Changes<br /> <br /> * You can shoot in under water rooms.<br /> <br /> Chant Changes<br /> <br /> * The formula for spell failure has changed dramatically<br /> <br /> * When you first learn a spell, you have a 25% chance to fail that <br /> spell. <br /> <br /> * Every level you gain beyond chanting that spell (or every casting <br /> level you gain through practice) decreases that by 5% down to a <br /> minimum of 5%. Yes, this means that level 50 people will probably<br /> fail a spell more often than they do now.<br /> <br /> * If you fail a spell and cast the same spell again, it reduces your <br /> chance of failing by 5%. This is applied after the cap above. This <br /> in general means that someone who has 3 cast levels on a spell should <br /> never fail it twice in a row. There are caveats (see below)<br /> <br /> * plus (or minus) Concentration affects are applied after the cap <br /> above as well. <br /> <br /> * Raging increases your chance to fail a spell (this is actually <br /> unchanged... betcha didn't know that?). If you rage and cast spells, <br /> you may want to snuggle up to your favorite druid for some sweet, <br /> sweet, concentration buff love.<br /> <br /> Vivification changes<br /> <br /> * Tier 1/2/3 healing changes are no longer percentages,<br /> and recycle times reduced based on tier:<br /> <br /> Tier 1: heal = 400, cooldown = 120 minutes<br /> Tier 2: heal = 500, cooldown = 90 minutes<br /> Tier 3: heal = 600, cooldown = 60 minutes<br /> <br /> * It now costs 50 mana/50 mv, but lack of those will not<br /> prevent the vivificate from working (it will set you to<br /> 0 in that case)<br /> <br /> * You can vivificate anyone in your group - they need not be<br /> sleeping. You can even operate on fighting people.<br /> <br /> * You can vificate fighting people at reduced efficiency<br /> (80% heal)<br /> <br /> * The skill lag is reduced to 3 rounds (rather than about 7-8<br /> depending on when you caught the pulse just wrong)<br /> <br /> * It no longer stuns your patient.<br /> <br /> * It places a 1 combat round (not a 90 second) disorient<br /> check on the patient.<br /> <br /> * it no longer has a chance to fail if you are disoriented or<br /> having spasms (because, hey, it's an era ability).<br /> <br /> New Feature: Soulbound Items<br /> <br /> * We are now able to flag items as SOULBOUND. <br /> <br /> * these items stay with you (like boats and lights), even if you die<br /> and even if they're in bags (they'll move to your inventory) <br /> <br /> * There will be at least two, both weapons, when the feature goes live<br /> (and death shrouds)<br /> <br /> New Feature: <br /> <br /> * Player-Unique items: You may possess only one of these at a time <br /> (similar to unique, where you can only wear one at a time). You may <br /> have many in your house, but you may only be carrying one at any <br /> given time.<br /> <br /> NOTE: Please report anything fishy... this rewrites some fundamental<br /> bits of code that moves objects from one person to another. It <br /> should have a failsafe of simply dropping the item on to the ground <br /> but there are likely places where we should catch and refuse (such <br /> as when you're giving an item to someone).<br /> <br /> &lt;/pre&gt;</div>
