The World of Avlis

Bioware posted a beta version of the upcoming 1.30 patch on their website.

One of the best bug fixes:

- Game now displays "Item Acquired:..." feedback when the acquired item is stacked onto an existing item in the inventory.
Yay! Finally our chests and death code will be able to handle stackable items properly. I just tested it, works perfectly.

Not so great:

- Changed bodybags so they are called "Remains".
WTF ?? How many more times will this silly thing be renamed ? For those that do not remember: They caused me a lot of headaches when they renamed "body bags" to "bodybags".

Another very good idea

- DMs are no longer blinded by darkness.

<--chokes..................faints

Finally.. I can do my library properly..

Oh Great - another Patch.

Another wasted 45 minutes on Dialup.



If they want to screw it up again, why not just include it in SoU?

it is included

An then you can waste 45 min DLing SoU 0.91a

Hehe - I have no doubt you will be right about that

these should also be interesting to see:

- Fixes to Protection Vs Alignment spells.

DM's can now open and modify any inventory, including players. They can give items, take them away, or equip and unequip them. Its pretty sweet!

int GetItemStackSize(object oItem);
void SetItemStackSize(object oItem, int nSize);

Very nice. Now the DMs can crash out a specific player, in addition to lagging the server when they posses an NPC.

Wooohooo can finaly put stackable items in a persistent chest. If nothing else this is worth the DL.

how soon will avlis go 1.3 after the patch is released?

ashzz

usually within 2 days.

Good question. I'm actually not sure if we're going to wait and update to SoU at the same time. I expect there will be an official announcement made.

EDIT:

usually within 2 days.

Well, sounds like later this week.

Remember all you peeps that changed your Dialog.tlk files for the custom races must change it back to your original versions, for the patch to work.

We'll update to 1.30 shortly after it comes out. We will update to SoU proably a month or so from now. Orleron wants to wait until it's out world wide before he installs it on Avlis.

Yeah, we're definately not updating to SOU for quite a while after release. It's not to our advantage.

Veruca Salt: I want it now, daddy.

When we install the expansion we'll need to wait for avlis to update to patch 1.30 to play right?

*twitch* SoU is supposed to be backwards compatable... but given the track record, I wouldn't hold my breath...

uh...

*shrugs*

I think it's supposed to be backwards compatible to 1.30...

no my dialog.tlk! i needed the old one? *gasps* I dont want to reinstall NWN.... hmmmm

I doubt SoU will be backward compatable to NWN 1.29, so you better wait to install it until we have 1.30 running.

just get someone to send yu a dialog tlk back up if yu dont have yours.
