===================================
Dark Age of Camelot
Version 1.64 Release Notes
Tuesday, August 12, 2003
===================================
NEW THINGS AND BUG FIXES
- Upgraded keeps that are /released will now return to un-upgraded levels.
Previously, when a guild claimed and upgraded a keep, then later released the
keep, the guards would retain some of the bonuses for being upgraded
(including having the appearance of being upgraded guards) even though the
keep was unclaimed. In addition to the keep reverting, all the NPC guards will
now revert to normal un-upgraded status when a keep is released.
- The Mastery of Arms realm ability should now be affecting attack speed
properly.
- We have fixed all known icon problems with regards to combat styles and
spells. No changes were made to the actual styles or spells, only the icons
were changed.
- Using the /lastname command without entering a new last name will now allow
characters to erase their current last name, as requested by the Role Playing
Team Lead.
- The CHAT.LOG file will no longer be automatically closed when you zone. It
will still close when you exit the game to go back to the character select
screen.
- Information from delve, /relic, /realm, etc, are now written to your
chat.log.
- A new /effects flag, group, which will show any spells cast on or by your
group members. (Settable by /effects group or in the options menu).
- New naming options, in both the /hidenames and /shownames command as well as
the options dialog. Before: Self, Players, Monsters, Gravestones. Now: Self,
Players, Monsters, Gravestones, Groupmates, Guildmates, Enemy Players.
- A new /faceloc
- Salvages on stacks of items will now return the correct amount of salvage
materials. If there are not enough items in the stack to return anything, an
error message will be returned to the player and the salvage will not take
place.
- The error messages that previously occurred when you were too close to
another repo man and trying to remove an object from your vault have been
fixed. Note that a few of the repo man error messages (Wrong realm, doesn't
service this vault) will no longer appear, instead only a generic "You aren't
close enough to a vault or a consignment merchant!" message will appear.
- The /release house command is no longer case sensitive.
- Studded armor will check armor crafting and tailoring for Albion players and
use whichever skill is higher for repairs.
- Lockbox and consignment monies will combine to pay a house's rent if neither
alone has enough, but their combined sum is.
- A consignment merchant can no longer sell items if it is already holding
over 200 plat.
- You can no longer sell items back to get more than 200 platinum on your
character.
- '/sshot
- A new slash command, "/househelp". Normally, most of the housing popups are
shown only the first time you do things. Typing /househelp will cause them to
be shown again.
- Right clicking on Spellcrafting and Alchemy items in Consignment Merchant
windows will now show their normal mini-info quick description.

appear.

lot number to your system message buffer.
- Added an extra tag at the end of weapons and armor on consignment merchants
- both types will now show quality, armor will show AF and weapons will show
DPS in the merchant window:
arcanite two-handed sword [200g] (99%, 15.1 dps)
heavy caliocht vest [200g] (100%, AF 35)
- Archer line of sight is now checked both at the draw and the release of a
shot.
CLIENT PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATIONS
We have added a new performance option to decrease hitching and pausing in key
game situations: when first going into towns or portal keeps after zoning, and
first encountering large RVR groups of enemies from other realms.
The option is under the "Config Performance" menu that allows you to control
how the client loads skins from disk. This will allow you to partially load
some of the textures the game uses to avoid hitches and pauses in key game
situations.
- [No Precaching] will work largely as before.
- [Precache Armor Skins] is the suggested regular setting. Armor skins will be
partially loaded into memory. It will take up more memory on average than [No
Precaching], but it will eliminate some hitches and pauses.
- [Precache All Skins] is recommended for machines with >512MB of RAM. This
option will cause the game to take up more memory, but should significantly
decreases hitches as you run around the world.
These options are documented in-game in the "Config Performance" menu (under
"Options" at the character select screen.)
We have optimized the creation of houses as you move around the housing zone.
You should experience far less hitching and lag as you move around or zone
into these zones.
THE PLAYER MARKET SYSTEM
Dark Age of Camelot now has a new player market system, where player crafters
can choose to publish all the wares being displayed on their consignment
merchants to a database than can be searched by other players. Please note
that this system will only be available in housing zones.
If you are a merchant, to publish the contents of the consignment merchant
that you own to the search engine database, type "/listmerchant". Typing /listmerchant
again removes your merchant from the database. Once a merchant is in the
database, all changes to that merchant will be updated on the fly (price
changes, adding items to merchant, items being sold from merchant, etc) with
no further intervention from the user. Note that /listmerchant will only work
when you are near a house you own.
To search the consignment merchant database, you will right click on the
Market Explorers that are placed at the entrance to each area, as well as in
the central market of each zone. Use the window to enter information about the
item you are searching for, and click "search". A list of all items matching
your search criteria will be returned to you in pages of 20 items at a time.
You can page through the items using the Previous and Next buttons."
Please note that when you get a list of items back from your search, you will
be given a lot number where the consignment merchant selling the item can be
found - you must then go to that merchant to purchase the item.
Skill lists on the Player Market Query window will only show those skills
available to your realm (except on Gaheris, Mordred, and Andred where it will
show skills from all three realms).
NEW ROLEPLAYING CHAT FILTER
1.64 has a new feature for Roleplayers, an "/rpfilter" that lets you filter
out commonly used game terms and abbreviations for any text that you wish. It
works as follows:
/rpfilter
/rpfilter LFG looking for group
So if anyone in chat says "/s LFG blah blah blah" your client will actually
print:
So and so says, "looking for group blah blah blah".
The chat is only altered client-side, the server and logs will have all the
original text as it was typed.
Restrictions:
- The string to replace must be between 3 and 10 characters long.
- The string to replace it with may be between 1 to 20 characters long.
- Case insenstive (lfg is treated the same as LFG, lFG, LfG, etc)
- The new RP filter will try to not replace words that are parts of larger
words. It does so by checking either side of the search string to see if there
are characters around the letters it tries to replace. So, in the case of "/rpfilter
LFG looking for group"
LFG -> looking for group
xLFG -> xLFG
xLFGx -> xLFGx
LFG!! -> looking for group!!
NEW ITEM FEATURES
- In this patch, we have added new bonus types to our dropped items. These
bonus types are detailed below. At this time, these features are only
available for the classic Camelot dragon loot and Shrouded Isles
class-specific epic dungeon armor.
- The existing items on classic Camelot dragons have been upgraded with these
new bonus types, and new items added to their treasure tables. Please note
that a few items were near or at the desired bonus point level, so those few
items did not receive any noticeable increases. No bonuses were lowered on any
of the existing dragon items.
- The Shrouded Isles class-specific epic dungeon armors have also been tweaked
to get rid of mutually exclusive bonuses. Players who already have some of
these items may notice a few new features in the delve information.
- ALL magic skills - This bonus will increase your skill in any and all of
your spell lines. In other words, if your item is updated to have "ALL magic
skills: +3", then all of your spell lines (if your class has multiple spell
lines) will have a +3 skill increase from that item.
- ALL melee weapon skills - This bonus will increase your skill in many weapon
types. This bonus does not increase shield, parry, archery skills, or dual
wield skills (hand to hand is the exception, as this skill is also the main
weapon skill associated with hand to hand weapons, and not just the off-hand
skill). If your item has "All melee weapon skills: +3" and your character can
train in hammer, axe and sword, your item should give you a +3 increase to all
three.
- Focus: ALL spell lines - This bonus will give you focus for all your focus
spell lines. "Focus: ALL spell lines: 50" would mean that your focus staff
gives you 50 focus in darkness, suppression, and runecarving, if you're a
runemaster.
- Acuity - This bonus will increase your casting stat, whatever your casting
stat happens to be. If you're a druid, you should get an increase to empathy,
while a bard should get an increase to charisma.
- The "old" dragon items from Cuuldurach, Golestandt, and Gjalpinuva will now
drop made of level 10 materials, instead of the standard classic Camelot level
8 materials. Unfortunately, this does not apply to existing original dragon
items...to accomplish this, totally new items had to be made that are copies
of the original set of dragon items, because an object's material cannot be
changed retroactively. Of these new items, most armor pieces are set to be
reactive procs now, and some of the less popular weapon procs are changed to
more favorable ones.
CRAFTING NOTES
- Added new "level 51" weapons into Fletching and Weaponcraft to help give a
slightly broader choice of weapons now for various specs. This has caused the
side-effect of increasing the "max skill" for these tradeskills, due to where
the new weapons ended up in the skill range.
- Fixed the levels that were shown when delving Fletching recipes. This is a
manual entry and was off by a single level, or so, in a few of the items.
- Tried to spread out the new "level 51" Fletching recipes to help fill in the
various skill gaps that existed in the recipes. We will review this going
forward to see if any additional changes are required.
- All forges and lathes have been updated with the housing graphic.
- Note: The new magus staff has a hidden restriction that will not allow it to
be equipped by anyone other than a focus caster.
CRAFTING BUG FIXES
- Changed the "osnadurtha gauntlet" recipes to be labeled "osnadurtha gloves"
since that is what is made from said recipes.
- Corrected spelling on the various "mammalogy" potions.
- Albion boned armor now shows the correct level when you delve the various
recipes.
- Hibernian spiked mace recipes now show the levels of said weapons.

Knights. These inner door guards have been given strict instructions to not
leave the courtyard at any time, and they also cannot be damaged by players
outside of the area they protect.

FOUNDATIONS NOTES
- A new housing zone has been introduced in each realm:
- Old Sarum in Albion.
- Arothi in Midgard.
- Dunshire in Hibernia.
- With the introduction of the new housing zones, we have increased the decay
rate on the reverse auctions of the housing lots. Lots will now drop at 1.2
platinum per hour, instead of the 500 gold per hour decay rate. Further, the
minimum price on a housing lot has been lowered to 300 gold.
- Permission level for Consignment merchant added with Deposit/Remove items,
and Withdraw cash permissions.
- Permission level added to allow players other than the owner to pay rent.
Please note that this is cash-only; others cannot pay rent with Bounty Points.
- CLASS friend type added to house permissions. Now you can set up your house
to include or exclude certain classes.
- RACE friend type added to house permissions. Now you can set up your house
to include or exclude certain races. This was added at the request of the
Roleplaying Team Lead.
- Vault IDs are now displayed when the vault is opened.
- We have added a new /bountyrent command. This will allow players to directly
pay for their house rent with bounty points, rather than purchasing tokens
which may not be correct in value. This will also only allow players who are
guild leaders to pay with their own guild bounty points - rather than a guild
leader buying bounty tokens for his own house - or buying guild tokens and
using them on a future guild house. The syntax is /bountyrent personal/guild
- When placing a garden object, the player will be told how many more slots
are remaining in the garden.
- When placing an interior object, the player will be told how many more slots
are remaining in the interior.
- If you are the primary owner of a personal house, your house lot # will be
displayed in the 'Additional Information' section of your character sheet.
- Apprentice and Grandmaster Merchants now carry all 5 types of feathers.
- Valmak's Remains, Tuka's Remains, Oldest's Remains, Coimirceoir's Remains,
and Geirshnae's Remains should have appropriate inventory icons.
- Siegecraft Supplies merchants now carry siegecraft ammo.
- A 20 gold rent token is now available from the housing bounty stores.
Additionally - Players will be able to turn the 100 gold rent token back in to
the house bounty merchant. The merchant will make change for the players and
hand back five 20 gold rent tokens.
- A Taxidermy Supplies merchant is now available to purchase from the interior
housing merchant hookpoints.
- The Nosdoden Wall Trophy should now place correctly.
- Easmarach should now drop Easmarach's Remains as intended.
- The scale of the Nkosi Floor Trophy has been toned down to better fit inside
the houses.
- The portal keep and Shrouded Isles teleporters for sale in the houses have
been combined. There is now one NPC for each realm that can be purchased in
your house that will teleport to both locations. All old NPC's have been
replaced with a combined NPC.
The names for the NPCs are as follows:
Svasud Faste and Aegirhamn Teleporter
Druim Ligen and Domnann Teleporter
Castle Sauvage and Gothwaite Teleporter
- Since the portal keep and Shrouded Isles teleporters have been combined into
one NPC, players who wish to dispose of their old Shrouded Isles teleporters
can sell the Gothwaite Harbor Teleporter object, Domnann Grove Teleporter
object, or Aegirhamn Teleporter back for full purchase price.
- Players in Hibernia can now obtain mantid trophies by killing Klzkizk and
Kriszixk.
- Trophy items are no longer sellable to npc merchants for 2cp. They can still
be sold to other players.
- We have slightly altered how the Hearth passage scrolls and medallions work.
If you own a lot or a house, the medallions will function as they always have.
However, if you do not own a lot or a house and try to use the Hearth passage
items, it will now teleport you to the entrance of the housing area instead of
previously where it would do nothing at all and still use the medallion or
scroll.
- The Dye, Tincture & Enchantment Supplies merchant should now have all the
appropriate catalysts.
- Two new signs have been added to the garden signs store, House for Sale and
Battle Plunder for Sale.
- The low hedge, barrel, two barrels, and three barrel stack available from
the garden store should now have the intended prices.
- All known locations where players would 'lose' interior decorations by
placing them in a spot where they could not be picked back up have been fixed.
COOPERATIVE SERVER
- The evil Lords in the keeps on Gaheris will now call the monsters in the
keep for help when attacked.
- Fixed an issue at Dun Da Behnn where one of the Ghostly Glimmer Warders
would spawn over and over till the keep was taken.
