What happens if you equip a cursed sigil? Can a standard unweld scroll get rid of it or are you stuck with it till you find a new one to replace it?

[eggmceye]

* new map feature type 'res-square' - res a player at full hp but doesn't make map bindable - used for newbie island only
* added res squares to newbie is+dungeon
* remove code that stops mobs attacking lowbies in non pvp areas (bug fix)
* When dead spam alt f1 message to Resurrect
* no res sickness when below pvp level
* send 'res f1' msg when die
* newbie island Max tweaks

Besides the video effects, that looks good as!

[ChrisCooper]

Egg, that's fucking legit.

[Aerie]

I like the damage showing up on the screen instead of Text Box. I unno if that's part of the smooth thang or not, just throwing that out there.

[Dudle]

Wow man! That looks sick! Is that live?

[eggmceye]

nah not live yet - just wanted to gauge reactions - tho it will go live but of course you can turn it off

there are a few rough edges to clean up and I'm not sure that it's actually smooth enough yet - but it looks kool

[eggmceye]

[eggmceye]

Do wall shadows give any benefits like improved hiding ability or lesser damage to vamps or are they just for looks? Also is there an option to turn the display of wall shadows on or off?

[MoonGoat]

Maybe a little late...

After the "rebindable keys" update I can't set 2 buttons to the same skill anymore. I used to have 1 skill on F1 and F3 and another on F2 and F5 to be able to use the short-keys, shift and alt, both when pressing ctrl and not. It was really nice both for combat and non-combat.
Now, each F-button owerwrites the other one on the skill.

Is this a bug, feature or maybe a miss in that update?

[eggmceye]

I took that out for some reason - tho maybe it can be put back in for spells only - there was actually a reason for it tho ...

the idea that the wall shadow affects hiding or vamp is a very good idea ...

It would be nice if you put it back
But I used it with skills, not spells btw. Spells would be nice too tho.

skills, such as?

[ChrisCooper]

You should set smooth scrolling to be turned on by default, since it looks better according to popular opinion. If someone doesn't like it, they can just go switch it off, but smooth scrolling turned on by default means that newbies are more visually attracted to the game at the get go.

[eggmceye]

it is on by default for new installs and for exactly that reason

[ChrisCooper]

Oh, I assumed that because it wasn't automatically turned on when I created a new character it wasn't the default setting. I get dumb sometimes.

Flurry, shield bash, cleave, slice and dice, gouge etc. Rage skills.
