Significant update coming soon!

[Dorganath]

Hey all,

I'm sure you've seen by now at least one mention of me saying "in the next update" and "almost done" and the like.

Well...it's really almost here.  The last few details are being sorted out, and while I'm hesitant to give a specific day (yet), you can count on seeing it in the very near future.

[SIZE=-1]In preparation of this, you'll need to download some files:
        http://nwn.layonara.com/downloads/files/layo_resv3r1.rar (HAK)
        http://nwn.layonara.com/downloads/files/layo_ctrlv3r10.rar (HAK)
        http://nwn.layonara.com/downloads/files/layonara_v24.rar (TLK)

You can download these files now and place them in their appropriate locations.  They will not impact your ability to play before the update.

Regarding the HAKs, the first one listed, the "res" HAK, is new.  The old "control" HAK was getting kind of large, so I split off all the large graphical resources that had been stuck into the "control" HAK up to this point, so that future HAK updates in the "control" (now "ctrl") will be smaller and easier to manage on my end and yours.

That's it!  Happy downloading!

Yay!  one question though... do we make a new file for the "res" file, or still place them in the same folder?  Thanks!

Dear Layonara Community,

I am doing something unusual and scheduling the update so that you all know when it's coming and can plan accordingly.

The update will occur at on Wednesday, October 27th at 7pm CDT (your time here)

Calendar: http://forums.layonara.com/calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=17745&day=2010-10-27

Part of the reason I am scheduling this is that I have a few things that need doing at the same time, like some database edits and some character edits, as well as the server operating system needs some updates installed as well. I'm blocking out an hour of time to do this, and hopefully it won't take any longer than that, but I make no guarantees.  I'll say only that I'll get the update done as quickly as I can. I'm also scheduling this for personal reasons, so that I will truly have the time I need to devote to this. I may also start it early, depending, but 7pm is my target.

Also, remember to download and extract the files I've linked above.  If you do not, you will not be able to get into the game after the update.

IMPORTANT:
If you are awaiting a remodel or are using space in a property that is being remodeled, please have all furniture taken up before this time, or you may find that some of it is inaccessible.

Special note for Leringard Arms residents:
I have been asked to delete the entire furniture database for the Leringard Arms as part of the update, to reflect the losses in the fire. If you still have anything personal in the Arms, you must coordinate with Milty before this time to retrieve them.  We will not be reimbursing anything that gets deleted in the process.
