CD Module 4.07g1

Subraces


-Half Elves now receive a +1 to Charisma as well as a +1 to one additional stat (Dex, Int or Str) based on their subtype. Existing half elves can request to have these added to them from a DM.

Scripts:

-ILR Scripts should be working correctly now.
-Added the various horn VFX models to the Accessories conversation, so you can adjust them. You still need a widget to access them in the Accessories conversation.
-Added a Persistence option to VFX Accessories. Any that you set as Persistent should be restored whenever you log in, even after a module reset.
-Fixed an issue where certain specialty armors like Mithril Plate and Adamantite Breastplate were not being correctly detected as such by various scripts.
-Added a pair of scripts to allow Elevation effects, so that Characters can appear to stand on top of appropriate placeables that they would normally walk through. These will be added to the builder module in the future, but in the meantime ask in the toolset channel for them. For those that want to see these scripts in action, they've been placed on the beds in rooms at the Inn in Suzail.
-Item Enchanting is temporarily disabled pending revisions and improvements based on the new item guidelines and Tiers.

Areas:

-Fixed a broken transition between Highmoon East and the Scattered Stars Conservatory.
-Updated a few bits of info in the Starting Area, including forum and discord information, and updated information provided by Azoun to reflect more recent events.
-Normalized the undead spawns in the top levels of Witch Lord's Keep (no more level 17 sorcerer wraiths spawning in a low teens area).
-Normalized the Slaad spawns in the Immersea Wizard's tower (Some Grey Slaad may still spawn based on party size and composition, but should be limited in number and location now).
-SDMs now have access to the treasure generation areas, meaning they can do item swaps (see previous update) as well as Admins.

Quests:

-Updated the Gem of Life quest to include new base classes (Swordmage, Green Knight, Favored Soul).

[Fire Wraith]

CD Module 4.07g2

Scripts:

-Added a bit of color to the login messages (the date, story status, etc) to help them stand out.
-Made some tweaks to the Greater Malison script to insure it's properly targeting only hostiles.
-Tailoring Models should now switch to the appropriate part when you use the "Enter an Exact Value" option.
-VFX Accessories set as persistent should now be restored after being raised, ressurected, or respawning.

Additionally, one update left off the change log from 4.07g1 - Horns are now accessed and changed via the regular Accessories menu. You will still need a horns control widget to access them. Using the widget now will open up the Accessories menu.

Areas:

-The teleport key for the Forest Edge Inn and exterior area should be working properly now.

Quests:

-Added a new low-level quest given by the Eyes and Ears to clear out the Ant infested warehouse in Arabel.

CD Module 4.07i1

Scripts:

-Disabled a function that was generating vanilla treasure on a few mobs.

-Added new Swordflame Tower, courtesy of Nok.

-Replaced the script set on the Rust Monster, so he can't destroy items anymore.  I may write a custom system for this at a later date.

[Fire Wraith]

CD Module 4.07i2

Scripts:

-The Return function should properly limit its reuse, and inform you of how much cooldown time is remaining if it isn't available for use.
-The Accessories conversation can now be accessed either via typing /accessories or /vfx as preferred.
-Fixed a bug causing the Draconic variant by color horns to not match the conversation option. (This should not affect any saved VFX data or settings)

-Body Model adjusters in the OOC room and Starting area will now allow you to switch between Normal and Large Phenotype.
-Body Model adjusters should no longer try to turn male characters' left biceps into Armor.

[Fire Wraith]

-Being interrupted/put in combat while using the Return function should no longer trigger its reuse timer (although you'll still need to use it again).

[Vincent07]

CD Module 4.07i4

Scripts:

-Corrected an issue that was causing script spam over the DM channel.


Areas:

-Fixed the chests in Sakkors Golem Workshop. They should be unlockable with the keys now.

-Fixed a pile of rocks in Swordhaven.

[Vincent07]

CD Module 4.07i5

Scripts:

-Corrected a targeting logic issue in Web that was causing Shape Mastery not to work.

-Greater Command now properly has a will save.

-Disabled the ZEPGenderRestrict() function in the item OnEquip.

-Added a catch in the OnEqup code to handle Epic Mage Armor. If EMA is removed due to Armor being un-equiped, it will be recalculated and reapplied when armor is re-equipped.

-Class based Dodge AC gains set through the module's OnEqip and OnUnEquip events have been re-written to only fire the actual AC addition and removal once. This will fix and prevent any issues that were caused by having some combinations of classes with different requirements, as all of the associated classes are now combined within 1 function. This specifically impacts Barbarian, Druid, Ranger, Green Knight, Duelist, and Invisible Blade bonuses.

-AC gained via Lycanthrope Shifts is now classified as Dodge AC.

-Corrected an issue in the Subrace Setter for Drow, which was causing him not to auto-equip their skin.

-Added fix for VFX persistence. -Fix courtesy of Fox.

-Corrected a bug in our ILR code.

-Gate, and the Planar Binding spell line have changed in the following manner: Due to the chaotic influences of Far corruption on the local areas, these spells will now summon Slaadi by default, regardless of the summoner's alignment.  In order to change this, you will need to find a Tome of Summoning. Currently these may be found in loot, and some, but not all of them, can be sold to Hawk's. You -MUST- keep the Tome for the respective summon type you wish to use, as the variables its setting will not persist through death etc. (This is mostly to reduce inventory item checks related to database calls.)  There is a command to reset your summon type to default, listed in the description of each summon Tome.  Half-Planar SLAs are unaffected by this change.  This system may be altered/refined in future updates, and have new summon types added.

Areas:

-Arabel has been set back to the "normal" version.

-Removed the Cyric flag and spawns outside the tower in Lake Eredruie. Disconnected the transitions into the Tower interior.

-Lake Eredruie Tower interior has been reconnected to the tower in Tun Plains – Fork on the River Tun. Cyricist spawns removed and replaced with Banite Zhents. Plot flagged and adjusted loot containers to be more appropriate to the area. Progress impeding locked doors have been either unlocked or removed.

-Updated and fixed transitions into PC area CelebLin

-Fixed the pawn shop reset lever in Swordhaven.

-Corrected the script on the door in Sakkors Golem Workshop so it will close.

-Floating tree in Highmoon – East has been brought back down to earth.

Creatures/NPCs:

-Fixed uniforms on Highmoon Guards outside of Highmoon.

-Slightly reduced AB and damage of Ancient Netherese Helmed Horrors.

Items:
