Universal Hairstyles in ACTION

Happy Holidays, everyone! I'm late with the winter holidays update, but we finally have some exciting stuff that I've been promising since the server launch.

There's also been a lot of big client patches released before this server update, which you can read about in the auto-patcher window, because I'm not yet sure about how I want to write about client updates here in this blog...

New Features and Fixes

  • ADDED: Universal Hairstyles are finally here! 58 hairstyles, completely identical regardless of the selected gender expression in your account settings.
    Took me a while to figure out how to do this, but now that we've switched to the XRay exe file, we can do this and much more!

  • ADDED: Xmas quests and mobs are back!

  • ADDED: Antonio mob now can drop Santa's Bag [12132], which can turn your current look into a festive one for a short period of time! Beware, that you can't fight while wearing special costumes, just like the wedding ones.

  • ENABLED: Snow effect in every town.

  • CHANGED: Chepet mob in Toy Factory now should respawn immediately.

  • CHANGED: Baby Garm mob in Toy Factory now should respawn immediately.

  • DISABLED: Leaves effect in every town.

  • DISABLED: Halloween events, except for the Mother Mathana quest in Prontera.

  • DISABLED: Multiple windows mode.
    I understand that this was the preferred mode of play for some regular niceRO players, but I decided to not turn it on again after switching to XRay, because the multiple windows players' gameplay can be accelerated so quickly and is, at this point, so far off compared to the single window players' one, that I just can't provide enough support for the late-game content, while also mostly working on stuff that is centred around the mid-game. I hope this balances things out a bit.

Known Issues

  • Completely broken character dye clothing palettes. Try at your own risk.
  • Sometimes mobs stop being updated (don't move, don't attack). Usually this happens to mini-bosses or MVPs. I hope this can be fixed by restarting the server more often. Please don't abuse this bug :(

Wishlist

  • Rachel Update! Hopefully sooner than later!
  • Card Collector NPC that exchanges any 5 of the cards that you have in your inventory for an Old Card Album.
  • Finally fixing character dye clothing palettes??
