August 2017 Patch Notes

New additions/patches are made to the server usually on a daily basis in order to ensure the finest quality for the server. In general, you should be able to ignore this, but at least this gives insight for players who wonder what staff are up to.

Please note some patch notes may be a little vague. This is because some patches/additions are relatively minor and shouldn't affect the server at a large scale

This is for the month of August, year 2017.

 

Work started on Moonlight Tower

 

Changed server hosts. The result of this action should increase the performance of the server, thus further minimizing lag.
Unfortunately, as a result, all bases were removed, but on the bright side, I am willing to recover bases so everyone can have their base back.
Please fill out this form and your base will be recovered:

added a restart-on-crash script; server should restart if it crashes for any reason

 

Server now auto-restarts every 24 hours, around 4 AM

 

Edited onto Moonlight Tower
Little sneakpeak:

 

Unfortunately, the auto restart failed;
switched to a (tested) different, more reliable & efficient method of restarting the server.
The server is set to restart at 4:30 AM EST everyday.

 

few bugs were fixed with lsr (teleportation keys sometimes werent working)
few bugs were fixed with twlight forest (quest journal)

 

server updated to 1.12.1

 

fixed a lot of bad npc names. Some npc names were cut off @ twilight forest

 

placed a patch on the windmills.. i think this should fix the corrupted blocks.

 

.. reverted server back to 1.12. it is within belief the reason for the crashes was because of 1.12.1.
server reverted back to 1.12, but at the same time, server allows 1.12.1 clients to connect as well.

i am really hoping to fix all arising issues coming up in the future.

if reverting back to 1.12 fixes the crashes, I don't think there should be any more outstanding issues. I think we can all relax for a while!

 

performance boost added, even less potential future lag

 

LSR limit: 4 -> 5 times/day

 

fixed 1st voting link

 

random teleport portals @ spawn fixed (no cooldown)

 

It is believed that the /tpa issues on going at LSR & Twilight Forest were fixed.

 

Shadowark Island created. we need to add a few modifications to it however

 

select donor ranks now have different color messages

 

minor performance boost
