Era Change Log (Bugs)
 

For consistency's sake (and good developer habits), I'm going to be posting my applied changes every 2 weeks or so to this thread, for everybody to see and discuss.

This way, if I fix something which then reverts after another set of changes, I won't have to sift through a thousand different PM's trying to get solid data from people.

Discuss as you will. These are also available in-game, and so am I.

Thanks for the documentation of this, Malicious ^^

Isn't changed, they still weigh 8lbs, .5 ft3

Is that with new ones picked up or just ones already in your inventory? You might have to drop the ones you're already carrying so the item dropped updates the values, then pick them back up.

Bolth I already checked newly picked up ones and ones I already had. :D
Come on man, I'm not new.

Just a pointer, you are able to stack a Cocoa alongside the +10 dmg killstreak, so you can get a 40dmg mp5 (woohoo). I don't know if this is meant to be or not though.

This is no longer the case. :)

nice to see a staff member doing a lot of work and sharing it with players, duznt happen very often on era

Don't say that, he might get fired... SHHHHHHH

Good.

Would be nice to see the log seperated by the changetype. For example bug fixes would be in one big group while gameplay/balance changes are in another.

Removed the inability to open your inventory for a certain amount of time after consuming any healing items. Also fixed the newer textboxes so scrolling with keys instead of the mouse works again.

I am slowly converting Tim and Blue to the joy that is changelogs.

Fixed any problems related to boxes not showing up in the HUD. Animations shouldn't be jerky anymore either.

:)

ur working for era? i thought u hated era

Hating you and hating Era is quite the difference.

Hate is such a strong word guys, make love be happy.

I think hate is actually an appropriate word in this case.

The Bamboo Rod got some sweet, sweet love and now has a dash ability on its G key. You can dash 6 tiles forward in the direction you're facing now, and will take significantly reduced damage while doing so. Can be used once every 15 seconds.

Additionally, woodcutting now properly gives perfect logs when cut again.

NPC Code:

---

[*] Added dash functionality to dev katana (pending inclusion into other legendary weapons)

[*] Lowered bamboo rod freeze to .25 from .3

[*] Fixed bamboo rod strong attack repeating and not obeying sleep 

[*] Added samurai sword dev to hotkey list

[*] Switched DB_EventsMonthly to use standard array for storage instead of SQLlite



[+] Added CSV dumping feature to DB_EventsMonthly

[*] Switched topFive and list() sorting on DB_EventsMonthly to actually sort properly (sortbyvalue from ORDER BY)

[*] Restructured /topwinners command to properly parse new list() output

[*] Updated ET HQ level NPC displaying top five event winners

[*] Restored the ability to cut perfect logs from trees.

[*] Added a dash ability to the bamboo rod (press G to use it once every 15 second, dashes the user 12 tiles forward and reduces damage while dashing)

[*] Claymores now destroy each other when stacked too closely.

[*] Claymores now spray lethal shrapnel out their front again, as intended.



[+] Preliminary addition of local trash/entity generating zones.

[*] Added a 10% movespeed slow onto the Samurai Sword on slash and adjusted its base damage to 28.

[*] Fixed gani replace issue between Riot Shield and other weapons when in same inventory

New fixes, sorry for the double post!

good job, but the G key is also equipped to Grenades, therefore if you have grenades equiped you can't use the G function.
One of bamboo rod's perks was that it would give you 1.13 speed even if you weren't under the effect of a lightweight potion, why was it removed?

ya cuz bamboo gif u super speed inrl

One who holds the legendary bamboo rod receives instant ninja like powers from the dark overlord of Era.

Because it's a stupid feature. Want to move faster? Store your stuff or drink said potions. There's no shortage of places you can store stuff.

i can't afford potions =(

and who cares if it's not realistic? era is 0% realistic, it simply was a cool feature which would give u no unfair advantage over other players therefore it was removed for no good reason

It was like that because... at the time there was no LW potions and maxing out with a capp required like 2/10ft3 so the 1.13 speed was only for people who really strived to have it (you could only have like 2 guns and a few donuts or you wouldn't be max speed).

Originally the Bamboo was edited to be 100% block from the front, I bought one and hilariously abused it by backing into doorways of old BH or CTF and ****... so when Chris removed that I suggested the speed boost to make it more viable as an equip melee. There wasn't even hotkeys at the time and Bamboo was 3 of a kind so... it needed something special.

But at this time where you can hotkey guns and use it in unison, and everyone has 1.13 speed regardless (I have 300~ LW potions and don't even play) the feature is pretty dated. I prefer the change.

Talking about long undone changes :p Malicious has already changed the bamboo to grant a speed boost again.

a 35% one at that!

given the current state of weapons, the rod sorely needed it; considering there's only like 8 of them as well.

I think there's like 5, maybe 6.

Buying Bamboo Rod!

There's no delay for me when switching from Flak to another item and back. Using the hotkey of course.

Edit: Misunderstood. Thought you meant cool down before able to swap back.

Should have a delay/freeze for all hotkeys anyway, I believe we have talked about this before. We'll talk about that again once I have time for Era again :p

Reverted Cubical's utterly **** hotkey changes and am going through his list of insurmountably stupid changes, likely reverting the lot of them.

He's also fired for spawning tons of t3 **** for his friends, and got globalled for it as well. Just a heads up.

These balls were made for kicking', and that's just what they do..

One of these days these balls are gunna walk all ova' you.

You should first work on ur attitude boy

Yeah, seriously no need to be an *******.

no need to be nice to a spwanin' loser like cubical

btw, gj tim for closing the topic regarding your resignation so i can't even reply to your offences

Most of what everyone has heard is slander and I'd appreciate it if until everything has been sorted out that they ignore Malicious' slander. He obviously hasn't heard the full story or they are giving him incorrect information.
