A large update has been applied to TC1. Please feel free to log on and test.

You will need patch 7.0.13.0. ENSURE TO BACKUP THE OLD ONE!

I will leave this on TC1 for about a month as there is still work to do, and overall lot of testing. If all goes well, you can expect this on live in the near future.



Update info:

* Converted save system from time interval based serialized file to real time serialized SQL rows. This system is slighly more cpu intensive due to the fact that it is real time (continuously saving in the background) but creates a non stop gaming experience. There are no anoying world saves. Changes are saved on the fly in a queue system. Note that in the event of a crash or bad server shutdown there is still the possibility of a revert, but it should be small.

* Added 7th character slot

* Added support for patch 7.0.13.0

* Added Ter Mur Map and support for the new tiles. This is not yet player accessible

* Added basic support for Gargoyle race. It is currently disabled and will default to elf if chosen

* Added support for SA housing tiles except for doors

* Quest button on paperdoll now works, however actual quest NPCs are not yet ready

* Lot of misc minor fixes, too many to list.


If all this stuff pans well, we will most likely release to live. Content wise it's not really much, but it is a foundation for us to continue development. There has been tons of back end system changes and other stuff that will make things smoother going forward. Still a lot more work to do though.

And again, backup your client, before patching, if you want to log on.

Does it still let you go further though? I was aware of the cliloc issue, did not get a chance to figure it out yet. They changed the character creation process, again.

For less then 7 chars did it work though? Either way it's something I have to check, the packets are not setup right for that yet.

Easy solution for that would be make the start location as Luna :P Saves me trying to find a freaking moongate :P

I think by the time your ready to make your 7th character your past the point of needing the noob quests :D

Ensure you're running the latest client patch. Then you can follow this to get yourself started:

http://www.runuo.ru/docs/commands.html

There's a good list to get you started. Some of those commands are disabled to non-administrators. Hopefully that helps out a bit.

If you can get to the test room on TC1 you'll have access to most things through item stones.

You should end up there automatically. If not do [go testroom.
