Better not install this update, server sync code of wac commands appears to be broken. Checked the Escalation server, again weird text messages. Also unhidessn() command is not sychonized correctly, you might not be able to see PSPs when playing with this patch. It works fine when you host yourself, but when joining a server not running the update, wac scripting is out of sync, probably cause they added a new command globaltext. Hope they fix this soon, until then I'm back to the old exe.

It seems Nova admitted the patch was buggy, cause they quickly released a new version: 1.7.0.9. Available here:
http://www.novaworld2.com/index.php?do=/public/forums/display_topic/id_2977/

Tried it, still same problems with text and wave, wac scripting is still out of sync with server. Wave messages still appear as text, text messages do not appear at all, and PSPs hidden and later unhidden using hidessn() and unhidessn() are invisible to users of the new patch.

Another new update is out, version 1.7.1.6, available at novaworld 2 forum. A quick look showed 2 new wac ocmmands:
pisgold
addexp

Not sure what they do, but the first I guess checking if a player is a gold member. Not sure why as mapper you want to know that though. If anybody has a gold membership, try something like this:
PLOOP
if pisgold(player) and ssnarea(player,2) then
killssn(player)
endif
END
Should disallow gold members from entering the area. As for addexp, sounds like awarding experience points to players, might be nice to give people like 10 point per minute they are in the center of the battle zone, maybe that will stop point hunters from camping. But haven't tried it yet if and how it works.

It seems they are done with DFX2, and finished the JO update. Version 1.7.5.7 has been released, and this time it seems to be a final update rather then beta as it can be updated through the regular JO updater tool. This version however appears to be INCOMPATIBLE with the old one, so you can't join servers not using it.

When the update is installed the Stats system we use (that is no longer supported and wont be updated) will work as well as a fart in a space suit.

We have plans in hand to deal with the update and the stats as we saw this comming but as Trev said we need to test and wait for babstats who are still around to update their stats system so it works with the JO update, unfortunatly its not as simple as just clicking the update button for us.

We will keep everyone informed about whats going on, at the moment we can only say hold off on updating if you want to continue to play on our servers for the time being.
