Release Notes 1.0.11

Perenthia Release 1.0.11 is now live and includes the following new features: (Remember to clear your browser cache before playing!)

Public Web Site

The public web site http://www.perenthia.com is now the host for the game client, you will see PLAY links when you login. The http://alpha.perenthia.com is going to be removed in the near future so be sure to update any references to the Armorial. The new Armorial link is http://www.perenthia.com/Armorial/Character/<character name>, example: http://www.perenthia.com/Armorial/Character/Aldarian.

A large portion of time over the last few weeks went into organizing and setting up the public web site. Because the client has been moved you will be prompted again to save information to you hard drive.

Armorial

The Perenthia Armorial is now live on the public site, you can search for Characters and view some information about them. In the future you will be able to search Households, Items and Creatures. Visit http://www.perenthia.com/Armorial to begin. There are also instructions on the Armorial for how to reference signature panels with details about your character.

Context Menus

Items will now display context menus when you click on a small green arrow in the icon slot. These menus will list actions that can be performed based on the context of the item. For instance, equipment will have equip/unequip options, actions will have use and clear options so you can clear out action shortcuts and reset them. Usable items such as potions and food with just have a use option and just about everything has a drop option.

Equipment

The equipping features in-game have been changed slightly to improve the drag and drop equipment feature and allow for equip and unequip commands.

Keyboard Shortcuts

The "X" key will now function as a Southwest movement direction shortcut. Currently the "C" key occupies this action, and still does for now so you can re-train the muscle memory.

Vendor Purchasing

The max items that can be purchased from vendors has been raised to 20.

Avatar Panels

The panels at the top of the screen when playing the game have been modified slightly in preparation for Households, you will notice some circles around the avatar image, these will host the Household image and an the image associated with the title the member has achieved within the Household. Also, characters played by Lionsguard Admins (me) will display an image of a lion head (like on the public web site) in a circle next to the name of the player. Only admins will have this lion image.

Households

The framework for player run groups called Households is starting to come together and the Households feature should be available with the next release, unless some high priority bug fixes need to be implemented as a result of this update. :) You can read about Households at http://www.perenthia.com/Lore/Households.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following bugs/issues were also corrected:

  • Drag and drop of items for equipment or spells to actions has been corrected
  • The list of NPCs should no longer disappear if you attempt to move in an invalid direction
  • Action slots can now be reset via the context menus
  • Items can be dropped from inventory using the Drop option from the context menu

Some outstanding issues still waiting to be fixed:

  • Priest healing and refresh quantity does not work
  • Inventory does no maintain item positions and re-orders when buying and selling at merchants
  • Not all skills are valid for play
  • Mobiles need some form of AI, to wonder around, re-act to changes, allow interaction, etc.
  • Need ability to train skills and repair items (coming very soon)
