Content and Maps released as Open Source

Dear Illarionites,

For a short while now Illarion's game content and maps have been publicly available.

Soon we will offer you a how-to on fixing small mistakes, e.g. spelling errors, yourself. There will also be a live tutorial in IRC addressing this subject.

Enjoy the newly published material!

Content patch

Dear players,

Today's update brings you the following features:

• The repair NPCs are more game friendly.
• You can milk cows and sheep by using empty bottles.
• A new baking recipe was added.
• Nests from which you can collect eggs have been added.
• In order to fish you now need shoals.
• The monthly output of magical gems has been reactivated.
• Juices and schnapps are now stackable. Furthermore, you can label your drinks with a quill and also remove them from empty bottles.

We would also like to thank Grim for creating a lot of new graphics during the last months.

In addition to the new content there is a small client update. This update resolves a rare issue that caused the client to crash while walking around on the map. Also there is are some bug fixes for the crafting dialog. It’s now possible to close the category entries on the dialog and the progress indicator is working again.

The easyNPC editor also got some update. It’s now possible to create guards, craftsmen and arena masters using easyNPC.

The Downloader also got a small update that resolves a rare issue causing the Downloader to download the wrong version of an application. Please update your local versions.

New Downloader, New Client, New Bugs

Hello,

The new downloader for Illarion has now been released. Please read the installation information provided on the download page in case you have any problems, or ask on the forum.

Along with the downloader there is a new version of the client. This version contains a fully reworked version of the GUI library. The new version is faster, compared to the old one, but might contain some new errors. We are trying to resolve these as they are reported.

The new client also does not contain the major hassle of the old version any more. It is now possible to use portals and ladders without watching the client crash and burn.

The old downloader and client will remain usable for now. However, I suggest everyone switches to the new version as soon as possible.

Merry Christmas

We wish all helpers, players and fans a merry Christmas and a happy New Year. Thank you for all your help and dedication over the past year. We hope for a successful year 2014 with many new developments, thrilling quests and much joy with Illarion.
