Greetings fellow Fredians,

1. Well as I am sure some of you may have already discovered, the world of your crafting has changed overnight, well this morning actually . Daring to tread where I have never gone before, I actually basically added a whole new craft in. This means what?... ok, before it was possible to just bash a tree and get a short or long stave of Oak, Elm, or Ash. Now you will find, it requires a Wood cutters Axe, all are in up to Gold and Mithril added. Also added recipe in weaponcrafting basic book, requires 3 ingots to make. It then will using your mining skills from 15 or 20 I think... been a few hours since I made this, give you a stave from the type of tree, short or long, that you need Took me hours to make, but I am sure those that realise how this changes things, will be happy.

2. Added Addicted's fix for Orb of the Planes to make it behave in a similar manner to Kehaar book when use is attempted in none kehaar areas

3. Added Addicted's new racing system,( READY SET GO!! ) it has a couple of cosmetic tweaks to go, but is ready to roll!!

4. Modified Arcane plane slightly to give a bigger area for Makzimite Dragon to spawn, and tweaked him a little more.

5. Removed 0GP items from Habib's store.

6. Replaced old trees all over island with new ones using new resref / TAG for cutting them.

All for now , ENJOY!!!

almost forgot... hopefully have stopped those horrible wasteland water elementals from somehow getting more than the 1 TS I gave them.

RACE SYSTEM = RACING ... ready set go!!!!! 30 possible places to visit 1 major winner at the end.

keeps track of 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc.. places as well, all the way down the chain, as they finish.

Notifies DMs of cheaters, auto-disqualifies cheaters who jump the starting line, and a lot of other such things.

doing a fix so that you actually get the staves D'OH!!!!

[Makzimia]

Still no luck with making staves come off new way with trees, and I am COMPLETELY in the dark as to why, but you can bet it'll be something simple I am missing, Salandra will get home Thursday, look at it, and laugh at me... if I haven't worked it out by then

Have successfully gotten trees to give staves, next phase is to make sure skill incrementally rises with cutting them, and, that they get used correctly (staves) in recipes as a component ID.

I have just finished all the changes to make trees truly mineable, but, I need to update all areas again, and it's 11:12pm, I have been at this about 15 hrs today... SO.. I am going to bed!!! will finish this tomorrow.
