NOTE: this is a VERY large (800 meg) patch. We are working on getting a new executable for download up at all the usual sites, as well as updating the Swift CD option. We also have a background downloader in the works - stay tuned for more news in the next few days.

KR: Removed clouds from the daytime display
Various localization updates for text
Default tab name is now Chat instead of System

KR: Shopkeeper window revamped. Now supports click and holding on + or -
Many broken animations fixed

Updated notes to add the reason the patch is huge, namely, that we fixed a vast wodge of broken animations.

...

So far I haven't seen much in terms of undocumented fixes. Several of the issues I've posted in multiple places are still intact (grid lines breaking through their container gumps, gump offsets when you click and drag on them when you are swapping windows on a multi monitor setup, roof tiles are still not randomized as they were broken last summer, and so on).

On the good side, the monsters do look better, the blue beetle has had a HUGE makeover, and I haven't seen any animation glitches.

Blue Beetle, unmounted/mounted

One improvement, the red solen warrior:

MOST of the mount graphical glitches are fixes, some still remain.

...

Most of it is due to animation since they stuck with the 2d stop-motion animation style instead of using polygon frame/skin models.

...

Couple quick notes.

Dropping items seems to be fixed (i.e. on the ground, possibly on to NPCs but I need to test this with a couple BODs).

BUG: Freeform mode for personal backpacks does not seem to work at all. Cannot place something in my backpack if it is in freeform and object already in the pack are not visible.

HOWEVER!!!!

Testing freeform mode on house secures show that they now place items ACCURATELY within the container. Where you drop the item is where it goes! No more weird offset!

Someone mentione4d the removal of clouds which was explained

Ultimately it was my decision to remove the clouds. *puts on flame retardant suit*

The clouds as they were implemented didn't achieve the desired effect. They made the game significantly less bright which doesn't fit with the style of Ultima Online. We plan to bring them back in the future once we bring them in line with the overall feel of the game.

~~~~

PaganofLegends is more than happy with the changes

Beautiful!!! Just finished patching, and wow! Everything looks clearer. I didn't realize, that the blurry graphics were clouds.

Now I know, they said, clouds will be back as soon as graphics are ironed out more, but I hope there will be the option to turn off clouds.

I am from Hawaii, and you know how we hate clouds.

Have to repeat again. Beautiful!!!

They fixed my beetle! Yay! It looks fan-tabulous again - even better than it used to!

I haven't had the opportunity to test the BOD or runic changes yet. I hear rumors that people are not happy with the resists of runic crafter armor, perhaps unfairly forgetting that the GM bonus applies only to non-runic crafted armor.

Has anyone been able to get a sense of how well the new colored BOD distribution is working?

Agrees,the artwork definately has a much 'crisper' look all round to me.

There will never come the time when that doesnt happen wether stuff is fixed or not.At least the changes are acoming and that can onkly be a positive.

** SO ** happy re: the beetle fix! Woohooo!!!!! They look MUCH better now!

Update: My KR is crashing very frequently again. This time, i can't avoid crashes by logging out/in after making changes to macros or the toolbars.

Anyone else?
