'U' being the default value, meaning undefined, which means the accounts gender takes precedence (upcoming) a script command to change a characters gender Requires PACKETVER 20141022 or higher Missing 'type' field in itemdb now defaults to IT_ETC (Commit) Added missing type check to skill_delunitgroup (Commit) Re-issuing conflicted-out content on battle.c (see history/follow up) (Commit) No cell stacking implemented (official version) (Commit) Function for creating NPC (Commit) Removal of certain commands: jump_zero, petheal, checkquest Various Additions / Fixes authored by 4144 (Andrei Karas).

Septober Digest 2014   Hey everyone!   Once again, I'll be bringing out the Septober Digest! The Septober Digest of course contains both September and October Digests. I decided to do it differently this year and just have them separated so that it's ... [More] a little bit clearer as to certain things that have happened in the two months.   October Digest 2014 The following digest covers the month of October 1st - October 31st 2014.  Team Changes None   Development Highlights Deprecated checkriding and setriding commands (c6f102e) Deprecated checkdragon and setdragon commands (a852bdd) Deprecated checkmadogear and setmadogear commands (b3aef69) Marked command 'checkquest' as deprecated (3ad4a9d) Removed use of 'checkquest' from scripts (re folder) (bba3e69) Removed use of 'checkquest' from scripts (pre-re folder) (88929e7) Removed use of 'checkquest' from scripts (common folder) (32169c3) Removed use of 'menu' from official (non-custom) scripts (bf9e067) Marked the petheal command as deprecated (8bb0078) Removed undocumented setr command. It was never meant to be available (9f1944a) Marked command jump_zero as deprecated (bcf7a77) Added source support to mark script commands as deprecated (ce85609) Added support for other libmysqlclient variants (e1e5bd33) Improved bindatcmd handling (5928d78) Parameters passed to bindatcmd-invoked labels are now properly space-delimited. This is in order to support strings containing multiple spaces or containing a trailing space. Previously it was impossible to create a bindatcmd command that could accept a player name such as 'This name has two spaces' or 'Sir Trailingspace '. Added documentation and usage examples, especially wrt space handling. See doc/script_commands.txt for details. NOTE: Your custom atcommand labels may need edits, as we're no longer trimming multiple sequantial spaces or trailing spaces, in order to gain more flexibility. It is your care to do that. Fixed guild instances from being broken when guild members change (e552575) Increase of SQL password field size (7603ea17) Some 'Life Changes' - Kisuka (4ac6739) (Recommits: fe9e666, db1abaf, ec8aa5c) checkquest deprecated; Use questprogress instead for a more logical quest log checking command. getbrokencount command added to get amount of broken equipment. setdragon and setmadogear deprecated; use setriding instead. setriding now handles all combat mounts. Pathfinding now works exactly as on the client (fc011576) Rewrote the hard monster AI. Monsters will now behave a lot closer to official servers: (c813ffe) Monsters will now attack immediately when they are chasing a target and it comes into attack range (bugreport:7370) Monsters will now chase their target during their aDelay, but they still have to wait for aMotion to be able to move again (bugreport:9269) Monsters will now rethink their chase in a configurable interval (see monster_chase_refresh in monster.conf), official value is once per cell, previously it was once per 3 cells Monsters will now stop when they rethink their chase and their target is gone (player hides or target loot was picked), regardless of the monster_ai setting (note: if you want the old, stupid behavior, just increase monster_chase_refresh instead)   Scripting Highlights 2014 Halloween Event (228a826)   Database Highlights Update of atk2 of all mobs - match with official (dc566e)   October Statistics During the period there were 74 Commits. Of these 74commits, 21 included bug-fixes. 4 Commits from Pull Requests  In this month, there were 92,048 Additions and 86,716 Deletions.   September Digest 2014 The following digest covers the month of September 1st - September 30th 2014.  Team Changes csnv has been awarded a High Council title for continuous contribution throughout Hercules.Development Highlights Replaced hardcoded values with constants for status_change_start's flag (b0006317) Updated Xcode project to Xcode 6 (2f5af5b) Improved some FIFOSD checks in char_parse (41e2a7) Added *getguildmember script command (c84363d)   Scripting Highlights Fix blackjack script by logging out to prevent zeny deletion (a686eea) Updated hunting_missions.txt (4677ae7)   Database Highlights Fixed some rental items in both PRE and RE (a276407)   September Statistics During the period there were 72 Commits.

August Digest 2014 The following digest covers the month of August 1st - August 31st 2014.  Development Highlights Fixed several issues with SO_EL_SYMPATHY (b791b66) Corrected an issue that caused the elemental's HP and SP would _decrease to_ ... [More] summon_level*5% instead of _increasing by_ said amount. Corrected an issue that decreased the SP cost of summon elemental skills by 5% even when the Spirit Sympathy skill wasn't present. Added/renamed some variables to prevent confusion. Please don't reuse 'i' variables for things that aren't array indices. Or don't reuse variables altogether for different purposes than their original one. Add MAX_REFINE as hard-coded constant (bac319d) MAX_REFINE has different value for renewal(20) and non-renewal(10) and some server even adjust this value so its better to add this constant so there's no need to add a configuration when making custom refiner scripts New Optional Configuration for unequipped disabled equipments (33a43e) Fixed an issue when Token_Of_Siegfried is used, under certain conditions (b29402) Extended item_check to also add unique_ids to any non-stackable items (49d604) Fixed official devotion behaviour, various cleanups (e7be725) Fixed a crash when a mercenary warps back to its master (7f4d6fc) Battle config option for knockback style when on same tile (2b8d501) sc_config.txt Update! (ec0272) Fixed some MSVC incompatibilities () Corrected several format-string errors through the code (c45e3fa) Fixes on 3rd class skills !  (356a83b) When under Mind Break Matk Effect and Mdef reduction should not show on ALT Q(bug:7915) Plagiarism should not copy New 3rd class skills. Thanks to OmegaRed (bug:8118) Update Runstone Lux Anima to official formula (bug:8285) Add official formula for Demonic Fire Update damage formula for Unlimit, apply Def and Mdef to 1 during the skill and adjust the cooldown to official. (bug:8227) Flash Combo should not consume hp-sp and the skill not ignore the distance. Fix a bug with Full Throttle that not consuming sp correctly and adjust the cooldown to official. All WoE items are inactive outside WoE or PVP Add bonus3 bSPVanishRate for Vellum Items. Script Vellum Items. Add 2 new bonus bSetDefRace and bSetMDefRace for the Vellum Items. (rAthena c046668034) Fixed Bowling Bash, Brandish Spear, Grand Darkness and Meteor Assault reducing def during cast; the only skill that does this officially is Grand Cross (rAthena 6947190) Implemented official Bowling Bash with all its special behaviors including the gutter line As many servers probably want to remove the gutter line problem, it is configurable; just adjust the bowling_bash_area setting in skill.conf (Bug:4209) Sonic Blow now has a fixed range of 1, even for monsters; a monster can't use this skill if you tank it from farther away (rAthena a15cee0)   Database Highlights Massive renewal mob_db update! (0fadf3) Some item fixes (5145cd) Fix some incorrect card effect rate (f8e0227) Update some official mob spawn info (b4bea48)   August Statistics During the period there were 52 Commits.
