Title: Major Update End Of The Week
Post by: orth on March 01, 2006, 10:05:34 PM
It's been a while, but it's now that secret revealing time as I start to let you folks in on what's about to come.  There's going to be two new haks to download and a new tlk file.  Somewhere in the neighbourhood of 45mb total size.  They're not finished yet but I'll let you know where to get them as soon as they're finalized.

This thread acts as a good way for me to make sure I've kept track of everything and that I've finished all the tasks required to integrate each new feature that has been added by the project team into the modules.

So get ready... as Layonara Version 2.96 is about to be unveiled!

yet another reason i'm excited to play here. Stump is very happy to know that he can finally get what every self respecting halfgiant wants when he has to hang around with little people -- a helmet to hide his head.

Auto Animal Pacification for Druids, Rangers and Clerics with Animal Domain

Player has to be unarmed and be the first person a hostile animal sees before entering combat.  If a PC attacks the pacified animal, the creature will turn hostile and any other animals within a perimeter will turn hostile.

More details coming soon...

Great job blonde!

Great stuff!  Can't wait for the rush to download it...

Are you guys planning a torrent-like distribution system or can the servers handle the pounding?

The download site is located in Montreal and is hosted on an OC48 connection and the game servers are in California. The world will notice no bandwidth impact due to the surge in downloads.

While there are no torrents at this time, we are considering it based on actual need. Big hak downloads do not happen very often.


Don't get me wrong though, I love bit-torrent.

I want to toss out a big thanks for the flowers.  Little "insignificant" touches like that really add a lot of character.

And, of course, thanks for all the other cool stuff and all the work done on them.

Nice!  I missed this when it came out due to leaving work sick.  Not the way I wanted to spend my birthday.

Only one nit, the Juke box is missing Amaduena's ballad, written by Perago and Goddess approved
 :D

Aww that sounds great Yosemite, I'll see if Lala would mind changing one of the names, and could maybe suggest a good one for the ballad.

Because deity comes from the Latin deus, which is from the Greek Zeus.
