what are we ACTUALLY going to see in this update? (ignoring Mr. Cromwells.... interesting description)

pharse · Post by **pharse** » Sat Jun 28, 2008 9:15 pm

character size will be visible and a lookAt function for characters. So do not run naked through the streets any more

But I don't know what else is implemented. Someone will post a more detailed changelog probably.

And I can't play Illarion the next week..

Vern Kron · Post by **Vern Kron** » Sat Jun 28, 2008 9:51 pm

I won't be able to play till late tommorrow if things go well.
In any case, I am betting we get some mules involved here, and some boats. Perhaps it would be a bit over optomistic to hope for the druid system though.

Is this going to involve any kind of patching?

Post by **Nitram** » Sat Jun 28, 2008 10:37 pm

The client will perform a full update, if you mean this. So you need to download the full 32MB.

Furthermore along with this update, the first time in Illarion history the values of age, weight and height take effect.
I'm aware of the fact that many characters have invalid values at this. In case anymore wants to change this values, feel free to send me a pm with the Name of the character you want me to enable the possibility to change you attributes. You are able to do this then in the account system.

I recommend this for everyone who has invalid values there. Since this leads to really strange effects and personal character descriptions.

-----

Der Client wird ein volles Update durchführen, falls du das meintest. Also musst du die vollen 32MB noch einmal herunterladen.

Außerdem wird dieses Update zur Folge haben das zum ersten Mal in der Geschichte Illarions die Werte Alter, Größe und Gewicht einen Effekt haben.
Mir ist klar das viele Charaktere dort falsche Werte stehen haben. Wenn jemand diese Werte für seinen Charakter ändern will, soll mir derjenige eine PM mit dem Namen des Charakters schicken, damit ich ihm die Möglichkeit geben kann diese Werte nocheinmal zu setzen. Das wird dann im Account System erledigt.

Ich empfehle jedem der falsche Werte dort stehen hat dies zu tun. Alles andere kann zu seltsamen Effekten und Charakterbeschreibungen führen.

so what are the effects of age, weight and height? on a character. just a general description like, a heavy character would move slower and be easier to hit where a skinny person would be able to move faster and harder to hit. and what would age and size be?

Post by **Nitram** » Sat Jun 28, 2008 11:42 pm

just the description and the size of the char graphic on the screen.

pharse · Post by **pharse** » Sat Jun 28, 2008 11:43 pm

an old character gets most likely a lookAt like "He looks old". And a small but heavy char gets most likely a lookAt like "He's fat"... size is the actual char size displayed. Look at my screenshot above.....

Anyways back to topic before I get in trouble for all the spamming I just did. I think this update is not the most useful *coughs* druid magic *coughs* It is still very exciting and will make the game that much more fun. Good job to all involved. *claps heartily*

Das klingt ja ganz gut aber wie ist das mit dem Altern, Wachstum und Gewichtszunahme/abnahme?
Munalunder kannst du dann bitte auch gleich auf die Liste setzten.
*Schon ganz gespannt ist*
