wie immer bei den \"üblichen Verdächtigen\" unter http://prerelease.sphereserver.net zum Download. Dieaugenfälligsten Änderungen seit der Februar-Prerelease im Überblick (wer kein Englisch kann soll babelfish-altavista.com bemühen):

- Added: First version of support for TNG's webscript reader. Use console command
"tngstrip" to create a file what contains the information TNG needs from all your scripts
(thus completely useless for script thieves). The file will be placed at the location
defined with "StripPath=" in sphere.ini and is named "tngstrip.scp. Can be delivered
either by a dedicated web server or the built-in of sphere itself.

15-02-2007, Babidi (Script pack)

the client that is performing the action (note that at the time these functions are
called, there is no character attached to the client so character properties are not
accessible).

22-02-2007, Nazghul
- Added: Character trigger @statchange (argn1: the stat, argn2: new value).

25-02-2007, Ellessar

05-03-2007, Furio
- Fixed #1098: Explosion potion activate with decay timer also if not activated.

06-03-2007, Ellessar

16-03-2007, MrSugarCube
- Fixed #1113: Exception caused when an online player character is deleted.

Ist das normal, dass dein Text weiß auf weiß ist? Wenn ja, sollte man irgendwo an den Einstellungen drehen...

Da er bei mir weiss auf braun steht, und ich an den Grundeinstellungen definitiv NICHTS gedreht habe, läßt das eigentlich nur einen Schluss zu (wenn man mal von Verschwörungstheorien absieht) ... *flöt*

Nein, nicht der Text, sondern das zitierte Changelog... Das ist bei mir weiß auf weiß (oder weiß auf gelb oder so).

Nope, bei mir ist der Hintergrund dieses Feldes weiß. Keine Ahnung was da ned passt.

Hi,
änder mal bitte dein forenstyle... hatte vorher auch nur weißen text auf beigem hintergrund, nun hab ich das blaue style genommen und habe schwarzen text auf weißem hintergrund :)

Coole Sache. Gibts irgendein Vorteil der Sphere ohne scriptbares Gildensystem?

nö. Außer dass das Gildensystem selbst vermutlich schneller läuft. Wenn bei Dir also 300 User alle Sekunde eine Gildenaktion starten ...

BTW, Life-Shards sollten ggf. noch nicht updaten. Es gibt Berichte, dass die aktuelle Release teilweise sehr lagt. Müsst Ihr ggf. ausprobieren - der Grund ist bereits gefixt (es gibt einen Grund, warum iThread::RealTime exitiert :) ) im SVN, aber ich weiss nicht, ob und wann Furio ggf. nen Fix rausläßt.

Wer es UNBEDINGT braucht kann mir eine Nachricht hinterlassen. Ich fange aber nicht an, für irgendwelche halbgaren Vista-Installationen oder hochexotische Linux-Distros Spezialkompilate zu bauen :)

So, nach einem Hotfix ist das aktuelle Prerelease von http://prerelease.sphereserver.net jetzt einsatzbereit

Lange hat's gedauert, aber nun ist die Oktober-Release draussen. Mit Neuerungen wie dem AoS-Cumtom-Housing-System, wie üblich vielen Bugfixes und ein paar netten Erweiterungen.

Der entsprechende Thread ist wie immer auf http://www.sphereserver.net im Forum \"News\" zu finden, und die Download (für Windows und mehrere Linux-Distros) auf prerelease.sphereserver.net
