This one adjusts fitness for the new changes introduced a couple of days ago, adds vkeep dragonbreath for dragons, vaff and vrmaff commands, hh health and hh mana commands, and generally a lot of quality improvements. Enjoy!

Upgrading

Enjoy!

vkeep vitality

It’s here! The system will now defup vitality for you an keep it up. It’ll automatically sip to full health & mana to get it up and wait the time (2min) before you can put it up again if you lose it.

Dragonflex

The system will now automatically use dragonflex for web and ropes – for web, it’s the same 2s however you’re unwebbed at the start of the delay and not the end. Which is better, since you can’t get impaled in the meantime or have other skills that depend on webbed status be used. For ropes, it’s faster than writhing.

Blackout

The system will now handle much better in blackout as it did before – at some point in time, ann accidental change was made which made the system only cure at the start of it and not fully through. All fixed now, though.

Upgrading

The is no system attached to this email and I didn’t forget to attach it. Upgrades are now handled differently, via the websites upgrade page – it’s much faster and easier on everyone.

Enjoy!

Customizable sip command

Continuing to improve the systems customization options, vconfig_sipcommand has been introduced to allow you to set custom commands for the system to do before and after sipping. Commands are separated by the $ sign, so you’d do something like vconfig_sipcommand wear something$sip health$remove something.

Darkshade re-prioritization

Since darkshade kills you if you don’t cure it within 60s, the system will now re-prioritize darkshade when the time is coming up and also give you warnings about it.

vkeep undeaf

Per request, vkeep undeaf was added for Bards. With this on, the system won’t defup/keepup deafness itself, and if you do get deafness, it’ll strip it for you.

Client info

The system is multi-client and multi-OS. That’s a great thing overall in the fact that practically anyone can enjoy it on their favorite MUD client. This comes at a downside though, that the systems variables aren’t accessible for scripting within the client. To alleviate this, a clientinfo option was introduced where the system will tell the client – either via atcp or normal text – whenever a variable changed. The client, in turn, can capture the data into variables for itself and use the information in scripting. See vhelp clientinfo for more information.

Additionally, to make the client-side scripts of capturing the system information easier, several pre-made packages for clients are available for free download.

Blademaster fixes

Blademaster system would forget to save certain defences, unstance you unless it was on keepup and do some other annoying things – all fixed now though.

Installing the update

See here on how to install the system updates. Feel free to ask if anything is unclear.

Note that it takes me a bit of time to send out all the updates, so wait a bit before emailing if your other classes didn’t come yet.

PS. I’m making a new system from scratch for Lusternia as well. If you’d like to help gather messages, get in touch with Vadi. No, this doesn’t mean I’m quitting Achaea; in fact the Achaea system will benefit in the future from novelties created for the Lusternian system.

Enjoy fast service!

Enjoy!
