[edit] Release Notes
Released on June 21, 2007
Theres not a whole lot of greatness in this version besides some critical bug fixes. The biggest addition is GrhRawAssistant, a tool I created to help make Grh entries. There was also a lot of new GM commands added that people should have fun playing with. Also some more client-side checks before sending packets to lower bandwidth. The motion blur was made to work better with the GUI (won't stack up the GUI, making it more dense). Finally, manifest files were moved directly into the projects, which does nothing but remove the excessive files in the root directory.
[edit] Change Log
Add - Client-side attack pre-check: Added a check to the client to make sure a character is at a tile before attempting to attack to help take stress off of the server.
Add - Buffer sizing constants: Added two constants to set the buffer size. These shouldn't ever need to be used unless you plan on using a resolution higher than 1024x768.
Change - Integrated manifest files: Added the manifest files to a resource which is attached to the EXE so they don't have to be sitting there as an individual file.
Add - Tons of GM commands: Added a bunch of GM commands that don't require any extra variables besides local scope variables (in other words, commands that don't effect the performance of the engine at all unless used). Among these commands are the following:
- /kill - Kills the targeted character
- /givegold - Give yourself gold
- /giveobject - Give yourself an object
- /warp <map> - Warps you to a map
- /ipinfo <IP> - Displays users who have used that IP
- /banlist - Lists off all the banned IPs
- /killmap - Kills every NPC on the map, then respawns them instantly after
Fix - Needless MipMap level: Removed the MipMap level from the BlurTexture, which had no use and just used up RAM.
Fix - Motion blur rendering: Fixes the GUI from getting "more dense" during motion blur sequences.
Add - Client object grab check: Added a check to the client for looking for an object on the ground before trying to send a pick-up request to the server to help reduce the load on the server.
Add - ToolGrhRawAssistant: Created a tool to help make Grh entries. It is pretty much complete except for that it doesn't support adding animated Grhs, so those will still have to be done manually.
Fix - NPC spawning: A re-visit of a bug that was documented to be fixed before, but wasn't actually applied to the release itself (oops!).
Fix - Map object erasing: Fixed a small bug that prevented items being erased on the client.
