3 April 2022
1. Personal quests extended to allow Kill NPC as a quest target. Note that the target shows a name so if there are many NPCs with the same name the hunt may take longer.
2. Personal Quests extended to allow Kill Player as a quest target. Note to Admin: - Use this one with caution.
3. Auto destruction of Unique Items that are being worn on a player will (normally) replace the expired items with an equivalent normal item. e.g. Skua bronze dagger with a Bronze dagger.
4. New god command /wearitem <name> that will attempt to make a player wear the item being carried in the command givers carried item. This is useful for testing the Unique auto-expire.
5. New god command /replaceunique <name> that will attempt to replace a carried (unique) item with the highest equivalent standard item that it can find in the list. This is useful for testing the Unique auto-expire.
6. A few other minor bugs.

3 June 2022
1.

26 August 2022
Updated version of the client, thanks to MMM.
1. Ring Activate On/Off button added
2. Skill bases are now shown in their own column next to the modified skill value, this should make it easier for new players to know what their base is for equipping gear.
3. Skills and buttons now change their text colour when you hover over them (this should make it very clear what you are clicking on)
o Skill names
o Gear switch numbers
o Spell hotkeys
4. Quick Commands can now be customized through the param.dat file. For example you can replace #help with #time if you wish
5. ALT can now be used for your spell hotkeys. For example ALT + Q will cast your first hotkey spell.
6. The following 3 skills that were 16 characters long were shortened so the maximum character length for a skill is now 14 instead of 16. This provided more space to allow “base” skill values to be shown without requiring the skill area be expanded.
o Ghost Companion -> Summon Ghost
o Undead Companion -> Summon Undead
o Skele Companion -> Summon Skele
7. Gear switch buttons are now adjustable. You can now have up to 10 gear switch buttons (eg. 7 default for 1024x768)
8. Each interface grouping has a header label if room was available to place one
9. Equipment backgrounds now only show if no equipment is in the slot
10. Modifying attributes (Brav, Agil, Str etc) are highlighted in red based on the skill hovered (when harden is hovered, Brav and Str turn red)
11. Skill order has been changed to better group similar skills together.
