Maintenance Pre-Update Revision 10/9/11

BETA 3 vR1.00 Patch was a success, the crashing is nowstill not fixed! (Waiting for 1.

As you may know, the server is currently offline. This is due to me repairing and optimizing the server files whilst adding new content, to lift off some of the weight of maintaining a server from Cody. I have sent the files to Cody so he can put up the server ASAP (within the next few hours approximately).

What I have done is some crucial work on server stability, performance and fixing large/small problems alike, and the changelog looks very impressive indeed, this new patch should theoretically be the end of the crashing, and if it doesn't fix it, I'll make sure it does in future updates. I know the server isn't up yet but here is the changelog (pasted from the official changelog that is sent along with the server files to Cody [it is slightly edited to minimise confusion])

Known Bugs (as of 11/9/11):

- Mobs are still aggressive [will be addressed next hotfix]
- Server Performance could be better
- Moderators cannot delete warp points
- Some death messages are grammatically incorrect (eg. 'RedEyex exploited by Warrio')

Fantastic work Red. I'm impressed

Let's hope the RTO is out the door.

Awesome job Red. Looks like it was a ton work. =D

Any chance members might get the /home command back? Its killer trying to find your house every time you die unless you build right next to spawn =\

I'll look into it, I didn't remove it because I want it to be VIP exclusive, but it's easily abused and spammed so I'll see if I can add some cool down time for members.

Alright, I appreciate it Red.

hey red i would really appreiate if u could adding the /home mod to members because its a pain to get from spawn now that it moved to the middle of nowhere.
