Script and Patch Updates

[MrSugarCube]

I've just uploaded the latest script updates to the server to correct some minor issues. The changes that have been made are: Fixed scroll books taking scrolls out of other scroll books when adding from a container.
Fixed musicianship not gaining past 30%.
Fixed polar bears sometimes turning into white horses.
Fixed chat commands not working with foreign characters (changes the font as a side effect).
Fixed lumberjacking combat bonus applying to archery.
Fixed pets being able to train their stats past their maximum values.
Prevented team-killing and equipping enemy equipment in the CTS event.
Rentable vendors in the Black Market can now be dismissed.


There has also been an update to the patch. If you don't want to redownload the entire patch then a smaller update package is available from here (ftp://ftp.wireplay.co.uk/pub/ultimaonline/patches/miniupdate.zip) (extract to the UO directory). The updates that have been made are: Fixed certain buildings' floor tiles being hidden underground on newer clients.
Fixed LOS issue allowing spells to be cast through certain buildings' doors.

Noooo! So we can't ride invisible Polar bear's anymore. :( *Err-Err, not that i did... :P *

Also, how come the chat colour changes when it goes to the journal? My writing was red, i look in the journal, and it's white?!?!

Fixed lumberjacking combat bonus applying to archery.


Maybe it is my fault that I don't understand, but does this mean that lumberjack now applies to archery or that it doesn't apply anymore?

Also, is there any advantage in using newer clients? And if so, which are they?

Thanks for everything.

Didn't you ask this a while back? :o

Well, you can go to new places, e.g. This christmas, you could only go into the Christmas dungeon if you had Client 5.0.0+ (Due to the Sleigh and Santa, Reindeers might aswell, don't think so though)

Stick with 2.0.3, then, when something comes, go to client 6.0.0.0+ :) *Unless you crash alot with 2.0.3...* IOW, nothing that much comes out of it. :P *A few features*

Also, lumberjacking now dosen't affect the damage archery did like it used to. Aka - Lumberjacking does nothing now to archery.

That's possible but I doubt that very much, because last time I played here you hadn't even joined the forums.

[Zee]

Yes i had! Lier. :P

Also, how come the chat colour changes when it goes to the journal? My writing was red, i look in the journal, and it's white?!?!I'm not sure why the colour in the journal is all wrong for the chat messages - seems good to me though because the brighter colours are much easier to read now.


Hmm, the chat dosen't look as good anymore. I found it quite secksy to talk in it, but now, i do not...
Is the font change that bad? It seems neater to me and you might just need to give it time so that you get used to it. If it's desperately wanted by all then I could probably add an option to switch back to the old font (at the cost of foreign character support) - although so far I've only heard you not liking it. :P


Maybe it is my fault that I don't understand, but does this mean that lumberjack now applies to archery or that it doesn't apply anymore?The update is that lumberjacking no longer grants a bonus to archery (it wasn't meant to). :)


Also, is there any advantage in using newer clients? And if so, which are they?Without getting into all the differences between client versions, at the moment the main advantage of updating is that you avoid the frequent crashes that most 2.0.3 users are experiencing.
