A Land Far Away

As the topic says

Thanks to Foam, Basilica, and Ithildur for their help with this release.

The changelog exists here:
http://www.alandfaraway.org/wiki/ACR_Re ... otes_v1.92


Most-noteworthy upgrades are to the infrastructure around hotfixes, some basic anti-cheat/skid handling, and rewrites for trade scrolls and item identification (hopefully resulting in both being more robust). Our attempts to fix the pChest losses are also included, though we still don't have any certain verification that the things we fixed were the things that were happening.

Great work, thanks to the tireless tech team who make our world work

Thanks everyone!

Some highlights for those who don't want to read the whole changelog:

• DMs can now force-rest PCs to simulate a night's rest, via the normal right-click menu. Previously, this did not hook the ALFA rest system.
• New heads for humans, elves, blah blah.
• When a PC falls to 0 HP or less while a DM is online, the game will auto-pause, alerting the DM. This will hopefully cut down on some tech rez shenanigans.
• Trade scrolls work again. Also, they should work for every spell, where previously they relied on the spell having a separate 2DA entry.
• Power attack is granular, like Combat Expertise. Max of 5 with PA, max of 10 with IPA. Always capped at BAB.
• Lore is no longer a thing. Identify items like you would in PnP. See here for currently supported methods.
• Rework of the PC Hide system. No more bugged double-ACP stuff, and more stuff supported. Stuff.

Thanks for your efforts Zelk/Foam/Basilica (and whoever else also helped out).







Note, any complaints or bugs, etc about the new heads should be directed to Rumple.

I hate that guy.

Thank you!

*takes bets on who'll be the first server to update*

Welcome, really long Silence spells. I have some casters to introduce you to...

Look forward to seeing how this all ends up playing, thanks.

Marks up the "silent spell" Mage feat from the discount bin and prepares to make a bundle.

Rework of the PC Hide system. No more bugged double-ACP stuff, and more stuff supported. Stuff.

Mind detailing what was done with hide? Nothing listed here http://www.alandfaraway.org/wiki/ACR_Re ... otes_v1.92

I know that PC tools hide rolls seemed way too high for awhile.

Different thing. Hide like "the equipment slot representing special qualities" not hide like "attempting to cease to be visible."

What Zelk said. But the thing you mentioned was also fixed, and mentioned on the changelog:

Calculations for character size affecting skill rolls now correctly apply 4 points of swing for each size category off of medium.

Thank you tech team! I appreciate what you do for this community.

Great job, guys and girls!

Very neat - will continue to observe, but this seems to have fixed the -1 swim from ACP 0 garb as well.

Thanks for the work all!
