"Double EXP Event", Client change, run your TalonPatch

Posted by: GM Seiren on June 29, 2009 - 01:48 PM

Alright, time for a "fixing" update.

Be sure to run your TalonPatch to get the new client or you will not be able to play. If patching doesn't work, download the Mini Installer here and install it in your current RO folder: http://forum.talonro.com/sakray/upload/TalonRO_Mini.exe

First off, we changed the client back to the old one as...well, you've all noticed, the new one had quite some bugs. We'll release it again when it's free of bugs. Because of the inconvenience, the EXP rates will be increased to 12x until Thursday (evening, server time).

Also, the Blacksmith/Whitesmith ranking has been fixed, seeing that it was also halved when we changed the Alchemist ranking.

That's all for now. More actual updates are on their way Smile

Reboot tomorrow, Monday the 29th of June

Posted by: GM Boreas on June 28, 2009 - 07:06 PM

There will be a reboot today to fix several bugs. We will also revert the client change, as its way too buggy still.

I apologize for the problems you all had with the new client and once its stable we will implement it again.

To come up for my mistake, base- and jobexp will be increased to 12/12 untill Thursday. Starting with the reboot.

Website tweaks/fixes

Posted by: GM Seiren on June 26, 2009 - 05:03 PM

Made some small updates to the website.

All links pointing to the Item/Monster Database should be working again. Furthermore the Getting Started Guide is now updated to match the Novice Grounds, Reward System page has been updated and a Custom Quests page has been added to the Custom Features page. There you can see the custom quests (mostly headgears) that we have at the moment. Some more pages have had updates, but these were the most noticeable ones.

Oh yeah, the Mini and Full Installers have also been updated to the latest available versions, so if you have any problems, you can download those and it should all work.

We're still working on fixing the new client issues, so hang in with us~ Visit this topic for known bugs and possible solutions/workarounds: http://forum.talonro.com/index.php/topic,25370.0.html

Renewal Client/Autoloot/More - RUN YOUR TALONPATCH

Posted by: GM Seiren on June 25, 2009 - 11:14 AM

Update Time. Renewal Client

RUN YOUR TALONPATCH


Alright, this reboot features some big changes in the server core. A big addition is the actual support for 3rd classes and the Renewal Client. No, you won't be able to make 3rd classes yet, but the support is available.

The Renewal Client, however, is now available to use and you won't be able to use your old client to play anymore. So be sure to Run your TalonPatch or you will not be able to play. The patch is pretty big, so if you have any problems, report it here.
If patching fails, get the new Mini Installer here: http://forum.talonro.com/sakray/upload/TalonRO_Mini.exe


Note: it seems that taking a Screenshot results in a crash. We'll try to fix this asap.

The Renewal Client has various big changes. Some you will like, some you might not like. However, for future updates we have to eventually update to this client as Gravity will drop the support for older ones.

Let's go through some important changes quickly.

New Storage System
First off, there is a new Storage system. Instead of the old 3 tabs, your items are now accessible by 7 different tabs, making it easier to find items. You can also Search for items in the future, but that doesn't completely yet. Finally you can also click the On/Off buttons to have multiple different storage windows open at the same time.

Key Assigning
Another big change is the Key usage. By default, a type of "battlemode" is enabled. You can enable typing by pressing the Enter button and it will go back in battlemode when you press Enter twice. You can also use a new button next to the Battle Log tab to switch between these. Important: you will have to "re-assign" all buttons for your Battle Mode build. By default, only F1~F9 are assigned. To do this, click the Options button in the menu, then click Key Assigning. There is still some Korean jibber-jabber here, but basically 1-1 until 1-9 means F1~F9, 2-1 until 2-9 means Q~O, etcetera.
While this might be annoying at the start, it offers way more functionality. You can assign any skill slot to any key on your keyboard. Furthermore, a fourth skill bar has been added, so you can use even more skills at the same time! Also, Gravity added 2 more hotkeys in a little window. No idea why, but it's there, haha.

Finally there's been a general makeover of the entire interface. It will look/feel a bit different and there are still a couple of bugs, but it should work fine. If you have any problems, please let us know asap.





Further TalonRO Updates
  • The command !autoloot is now implemented, but with a restriction. It will only work if your level is lower than 80. This feature is still highly debatable and might change in the future.
  • Implemented a quest for Yellow Ribbon. Find a girl named Madeline in Rachel 191,57 to start the quest.
  • Bingo now has a Randomizer. When you input 0 at the start, it will randomly fill your Bingo chart.
  • New Monster of the Week is Dryad (um_fild01 and um_dun02). It will give 40% more EXP and a chance of 10% to get a Blue Herb and 2 Reward Points on each kill.

eAthena Updates
  • Added moscovia quest 'Koshei the Immortal'
  • Implemented Instancing System. This brings new features like Endless Tower and Sealed Shrine closer to releasing.
  • Asura Strike and Flying Side Kick should now be working as intended.
  • Various other changes.

Updates ahoy! Battlegrounds testing

Posted by: GM Seiren on June 16, 2009 - 11:33 AM

Nom nom nom, more updates! Today there are some big changes, so pay close attention Smile

Battleground PvP Testing

We have now implemented Battleground PvP for testing purposes. The matches are 5 vs 5 and at the moment there are no rewards decided yet. However! You do gain points for playing, thus once we decide on the rewards, your efforts during the testing will not have been for nothing.

To warp there, talk to an NPC at one of the following locations:
    * Prontera: (123, 83)
    * Geffen: (109, 66)
    * Al De Baran: (146, 109)
    * Payon: (189, 105)
    * Morroc: (moc_ruins 75, 162)
    * Lighthalzen: (153, 86)
    * Rachel: (149,138)

More information about Battlegrounds can be found here: http://irowiki.org/wiki/Battlegrounds

Now for further updates.

TalonRO Updates

  • Marriage script updated to work in multiple locations again. Also you can now divorce again by talking to Marry Happy.
  • Valkyrie Randgris now spawns within 5 ~ 13 hours.
  • New player command added: !noks, which protects you from Kill Stealing for 5 seconds.
  • Thanatos Card fixed. It pierced 30% Mdef instead of Def.
  • Monster of the Week is now Blazer (found in Magma Dungeon). It will give 50% more EXP and a 10% chance to get 2 Reward Points and a random Level 1-5 Food Item.

eAthena updates
  • Fixed TaTaMiGaEShi(Improvised Defense) not working.
  • Fixed the Memory Book combo using Eye Patch instead of Monocle.
  • Fixed Butterfly Wings not working on maps blocking Teleport.
  • Skill through items will not be blocked when 90% overweight.
  • Now you can drop items when hiding. Now you can't logout when hiding, cloaking or chase walking.
  • Various fixes/changes behind the scenes

Ratemyserver.net Reviews
The last couple of days a lot of the TalonRO reviews on Ratemyserver.net have been taken off the listing because they were too old. So it's time for a new round of reviews!

Doing so helps the server out a lot. If you have already written one in the past, it's the best idea to delete the old one (as it's not visible anymore) and write a new one.

To do so, visit this page and click the Write Review button. You will have to sign up for an account, but that should not take more than a minute.

Thank you!
