Patch 43 - 02/28/16 - Event Timer Revamp - Jack - 02-28-2016 Event Timer Huge revamp to the way the event timer works. Staff can now easily add new events with the click of a button. This will allow us to better suit the needs of players, with less effort. Town invasions can now be automated. The IRC bot will be more responsive and give better information about upcoming events. Namely: If an event is during the signup period, the bot will recognize that and tell you that the event is currently in signups (and how long until the event starts). If an event is currently running, it will tell you so, instead of telling you when the next event is. The bot will tell you when a town invasion is currently running. Changes to this webpage: https://uolostlands.com/event-schedule The schedule will now rotate so the next event is always top in the list. The schedule will include events that are "one off" or started manually by staff. The schedule will automatically update whenever the in game schedule changes. Keep an eye on this to see what's coming up! The schedule now shows you the current EST time to make it easier to tell how far away an event is. Events Fixed a bug with tournaments that sometimes caused a player to "lose" twice in the same match. This happened when a person disconnected and died, because they lost for both conditions. If this happened in the final match, it caused a crash. Fixed a bug where event gates did not get deleted sometimes when nobody signed up to an event. Players who do not have the 5.0.8.3 client can no longer enter event gates. Your horse will not be given back to you in CTF until you are actually returned to the lobby. Platinum Rewards The "requested hues" tub is no longer available. It has been replaced with 2 different tubs which are 750 plat each. The first tub is the "hue of the month" tub. There is one for both mask and sandals. When you purchase a hue of the month tub, the color on the tub will be set. It will not be redyable. It will be labelled with the date of purchase (eg: February 2016). The hues auto-update and will begin to rotate if enough months pass without the list of hues growing larger, but it is planned that there should be a new hue every month. Check the platinum vendor to see what this month's hue is! Note: February and March will have the same hue since we are so close to the end of the month. The second tub will be called the "premium hues" tub. The hues can be seen here: Many thanks to Wiz Kid for the idea, and for spending the time to pick out hues. Miscellaneous Provoking a creature onto yourself is no longer a criminal action. Provoking spawn at the Forest Lord invasion is no longer a criminal action either. When a creature is guarding you, it will now appear grey to you (or green if you are in a guild). When a creature is guarding you, or in attack mode, it will also be orange to enemy guilds. The broken chair rare will now spawn with more item ids. When smelting an item that will overload your pack and the ingots drop to the ground, they will now stack with other ingots on the ground. Receiver crystals are now available from jewelers. You can now telekinesis ore to combine it with another pile. When Pixelclicker feeds a horse wheat sheafs, the horse will now die. Wheat sheaves are not good for horses. The flame spurt trap no longer blocks movement. NPC beggars now actually beg. They have the behaviour that has been observed on the demo. You may find them quite annoying.
