Update Notes / Updates December 22nd 2016 - Music System & Grand Exchange Graphs
« on: December 12, 2016, 04:00:59 pm »
Hey guys,
I've got a few things ready for today. The changes are mostly cosmetical. Take your time and read through them, they are pretty handy!
Ground Alignment
Monsters are now properly aligned to the steepness of the ground. You can see an example below where the dragon is pointing towards the player and isn't just floating:
Music System
I've never really put a lot of effort into creating a proper music system before. With this update, most (330 out of 350 songs) are clickable in the music interface and will be played in their appropriate regions. This will change some of the songs previously used in certain regions, but therefore gives the entire game a correct music overlay. The system may still contain minor bugs, such as areas having no songs or songs not playing. But that's really minor things that I can fix at runtime. If you find something wrong, just report it! Oh and... if you find over 200 area songs, you can unlock the play guitar emote!
Grand Exchange Market
You'll now be able to take a look at the prices of items in the game. I've worked on a homepage tool that takes all trades from the Grand Exchange and plots them on a graph. You can see an example here: https://emps-world.net/ge_plots.php#plot,Manta_ray,391,60
Following things have been changed:
All the best,
Thomy

Following things have been changed:
- Blood altar usability improved.
- Loading times increased of new regions for high Rendering Distance (RD) settings.
- Hit effects (spirit shields, vengeance, etc.) are now applied when the hit lands. Before the update they were applied at the attack animation.
- Item drops now last for 3 minutes instead of 2. Items upon death will now be visible to your account for 2 minutes and afterwards an additional minute to everyone. The initial change of this update didn't aim at making it difficult for beginners to get their items back. I am sorry for that.
- The client will no longer crash when it fails to load certain models. This could possibly fix a bug in Port Sarim's dungeon (Wyverns) and other loading problems.
- Alch values have been increased by 25%.
All the best,
Thomy
