Greetings fellow Fredians,

Just so that you know I haven't deserted you, I am in the middle of some fairly intensive work, this doesn't even allow me to get on the server at the moment as the toolset is busily making use of all my resources. When I am finished today, I will have all the flowers and ores updated as I eluded to yesterday. In addition, I am working at the moment on exporting ALL resources from Island of Fredian into an erf, a HUGE job, as you may or not imagine, it's been at it for about 3 hrs now, and still just gathering all those. The plan is to then import them all into a fresh mod, and do a full recompile. I will put the existing version up with aforementioned changes in though later today.

I also found 3 more DTS based treasures in the Castille barracks, these have been removed. Also this morning, I have done a server vault clean out, any PCs not accessed since the end of May have been deleted, and the Database has been similarly cleaned of entries as well. This took into account players who are on leave at the moment, so my normal 40 days I use, when I have the time and inclination, was not used.

Cheers, for now.

Makz.

Alrighty, after 2 days of solid updating and waiting for things to compile... I have the updated version up.

1. Changed all ore to 200 HP, prior to this, copper was 200 incrementily decreasing to 45 at myrkandite, due to me mistakenly thinking durability was used. Anyway, I know it will still not be the same as say 450HP, but it gives a middle ground

2. Changed all flowers used in ATS tailoring to 100HP from 10 ? I think they were on average.

3. Checked and *HOPEFULLY* fixed the random riddle script, found a missing break; Also, I changed the listener to be animal faction, that makes it completely neutral to hostiles etc.

4. Exported all resources for Island of Fredian, to make a new version soon.

5. Made a sweep of the server vault and removed about 3,500 inactive PC's from whenever to May 31st this year. Also cleaned out quest and players stats up to same time.

6. Removed more of, and hopefully the last, of the DTS related chests.

Last and certainly not least, performed full compile of live MOD.

All for now,

Makz.
