CD Module 4.09a6 (Part 2)

Player Commands

• /dispelme will now dispel barbarian rage and ioun stones.
  
  
• Spells can be individually dismissed/dispelled from the /viewspells menu.
  
  
• /viewspells' refresh rate will be dynamically adjusted if the server performance is low. (Should only come into effect during major server battle events)

Custom Portraits

• Custom player portraits are now locked by resref (filename) to your cdkey. Other players cannot use a custom portrait that's already in use. Portraits that are already in use between multiple players will not be changed; new players simply won't be able to use the portrait.
  
  Default portraits packaged with the game or with our hak content can be freely used by anyone.
  
  This is a necessary change to deconflict players using different custom portraits that accidentally share the same filename to prevent conflicting portraits overwriting each other when uploaded to our portrait collection.
  
  Our official server policy otherwise remains unchanged: You cannot use another player's commissioned or original work without that player's permission.
  
  As general community etiquette: You should be respectful regarding other character's portraits or artwork another player is already using. Reusing the portrait files or same artwork another player is using for their character is akin to showing up to a party in the same dress — it's perceived as discourteous when that other player has spent time searching for artwork that compliments or completes their character's identity.

Classes

• Bard Songs now replace other bard songs of equal or lesser rank.
  
  
• Curse Songs now replace other curse songs of equal or lesser rank. Damage will only be applied if the target is not already under the effects of a curse song.

• Fixed Arcane Warrior's Channel Spell uses per day to be 3 at level 1, 6 at level 4, 9 at level 9.
  
  
• Arcane Warrior's Channel Spell now works with existing On Hit: Cast Spell properties on a weapon. Both will correctly trigger on every attack.
  
  
• Arcane Warrior's Channel Spell now gives you 9 seconds to begin attacking an enemy. Once you have begun attacking an enemy, you will have 1 round channel spell. If you cancel your round or are otherwise interrupted, the spell will end.

• Mass Hold Person duration increased to 1 round per caster level.
  
  
• Mass Hold Monster duration increased to 1 round per caster level.

CD Module 4.09a6 Hotfix 1

These out-of-band hotfixes have been applied live to the server and are current to fix a few critical bugs in the interim between module updates.

CD Module 4.09a6 Hotfix 2

These out-of-band hotfixes have been applied live to the server and are current to fix a few bugs in the interim between module updates.

Spells

• Fixed spells absorbing double the amount of spell absorption levels than intended.

Areas

• Fixed transition and key tag for Violet Point player home's exterior door.

AI

• Bioware AI's taunt and knockdown cooldowns are now global per-target taunt and knockdown cooldowns, with much longer minimum and higher maximum cooldown times with a very small chance to ignore the cooldown for some additional randomization. This is on top of the already existing low chance of attempting a taunt or knockdown in a round. Player summons have higher chance to attempt knockdowns and taunts each round than hostile enemies do.

Items

• Fixed Sequencer items blocking spells from being cast.
  
  
• Fixed Sequencer items sometimes calculating the wrong caster level under certain edge cases.

Other

• Fixed saving throws vs. a saving throw type where the creature had immunity to not show the saving throw roll.
  
  
• Fixed immunity to death causing vs. death saving throws to automatically fail, which would cause an edge case issue where supernatural death effect spells such as implosion would kill you, rather than be stopped after a failed save by immunity to death effects.
  
  
• Fixed immunity to mind-affecting causing vs. fear saving throws to automatically fail.

CD Module 4.09b1 Hotfix 1

These out-of-band hotfixes have been applied live to the server and are current to fix a few bugs in the interim between module updates.

• Fixed barbarian rage being dispellable.
  
  
• Fixed lythari who had been incorrectly given the werewolf widgets during character creation prior to 4.09b1 being upgraded with the new werewolf widgets, rather than be given the new lythari specific widgets. This fix is retroactive and any lythari upgraded with the wrong widgets should receive the correct widgets upon login.
  
  
• Fixed characters being given duplicate alternate form widgets upon login. Duplicate widgets will be automatically removed from anyone affected.
  
  
• Fixed DMs not being timed out from quest chat after logging off for more than 60 minutes.

CD Module 4.09b2

Scripted Quest & XP System Fixes

• Fixed handing in the Slaad Tower quest completing the quest for all party members.
  
  
• Fixed handing in the Witch's Gem quest completing the quest for all party members.
  
  
• Fixed an exploit that allowed collecting the reward from the highmoon bandit mirror quest twice.
  
  
• Fixed an exploit present in the majority of scripted XP quests that allowed XP to still be awarded after the scripted quest's XP level cap.
  
  
• Fixed a bug that when near your combat XP cap allowed earning combat XP over your combat XP cap.
  
  
• All XP reward functions have been rewritten. Excess RPXP awarded from all sources (scripted quests and faery ticks) will now roll over to your next level. Excess RPXP will not roll over if you're at ascension cap.
  
  
• Combat XP can be earned when within 1,000 XP of ascension if your combat XP cap hasn't been reached yet. This fixes being unable to re-earn lost combat XP from crafting or dying, as well as not being able to earn your final combat XP if you had maximized your RP XP first before combat XP.
  
  
• The XP values in your character sheet are now updated in real time, rather than only when the character sheet is opened.
  
  
• RPXP Faery ticks will always award XP up until 1 XP away from ascension cap, rather than stopping 1 full tick away.
  
  
• Scripted quests can be turned in at ECL 20 unless the reward XP would take you past your ascension cap.

Global Weather

• Areas are now affected by a global weather system, with different weights for rain, thunderstorms, and snow depending on the module season:
  
  • Summer has a very low chance of rain.
    
  • Spring has a moderate chance of rain, and an increased chance of thunderstorms.
    
  • Fall has a moderate chance of rain, and a low chance of snow.
    
  • Winter has a high chance of snow.
    
  • These values may get tweaked over time to find a natural pattern.
  
  
• Only areas flagged natural, above ground, and exterior are affected by the global weather system. Areas can be flagged to ignore the global weather system with the area int variable OVERRIDE_GLOBAL_WEATHER 1. You can force an area to use the global weather system regardless of area flags with USE_GLOBAL_WEATHER 1.
  
  
• Control Weather will only change the weather in the current area. After 20 minutes, the area will be subject to the new weather changes by the global weather system again.

If multiple people attempt to revive a target at the same time or are interrupted/cancel reviving the target, the progress bar displayed to the target may be incorrect or prematurely closed.
  
  
• Characters will stand back up if their reviving attempt is cancelled or interrupted.
  
  
• Fixed being able to begin reviving targets before they were dead.
  
  
• Added feedback whenever a character stops or finishes reviving a target.
  
  
• Fixed barbarian rage being dispellable by spells and being removed in dead magic zones.
  
  
• Creature statues now save their facing at spawn and will return to that facing if ever turned another direction, instead of attempting to face a waypoint which if didn't exist would make the statue face toward 0,0.
  
  
• Fixed Spell Sequencer rejecting subradial spells.
  
  
• Fixed shadow weave penalties from equipped items being applied accumulatively every time the character transitioned areas.
  
  
• Fixed removing any shadow weave penalty item removing all shadow weave penalties when it should only remove the penalty associated with the removed item.
  
  
• Shadow weave penalties gained from using shadow weave magic items will now expire on rest. This does not include equipped items, which can only be removed by unequipping the shadow weave item.
  
  
• All shadow weave penalties are now -2 wisdom, instead of -1d4 to fix an exploit that allowed characters to reroll their penalty.
  

From Fire Wraith:

• Updates to various player houses.
• Fixed Suzail East's teleport key reported in the teleport key finder.
• Fixed various areas using generic area tags.
