Patch 2.8_02-R1 – Soulstone Overhaul

[Deleted User 009 0]

Hey #LOTC,

In our continuing efforts to try and eliminate as many /<commands> as possible to make our server more fluid and easier to understand for new players, we've made some significant changes to our soulstone plugin. Here's a summary of what we did.

[NEW] Removed /setsoul. Sneak + Left Click with your soulstone in hand has taken its place.

[NEW] Removed /selectsoul. Left clicking with your soulstone in hand will shuffle through your saved locations.

[MOD] Reprogrammed database system of plugin to a much more optimized and low latency build.

[MOD] Imported all old database loccations to new DB (no /setsoul reset)

[MOD] Changed cooldown from 10 minutes to 5 minutes due to Asulon's crazy size.

[MOD] Added a cool nether portal effect when casting the spell, to reflect the fact that your character is being warped through the nether.

[MOD] Removed 'default' soulstone locations to prevent meta and bypassing of RP to get to capital city.

[FIX] Fixed an exploit that reset your soulstone's cooldown by simply logging out / in.

[FIX] Soulstones will automatically vanish on death and not be dropped.

[FIX] Soulstones can no longer be stored in chests, furnaces, dispensers, etc.

We also made a few misc. changes to some other mechanics of LOTC.

[MOD] Chairs are now SNEAK + Right click again, in order to allow players to place objects (signs) around the chairs without sitting in them by mistake.

[FIX] A bug in new economy system that caused notes to become 'blank' until they were viewed again.

[MOD] Removed message prompting users about new mina system from MOTD.

I have a few questions:

~Soulstones are RP now? I thought they were an OOC tool.

~Players, even babies can now use the soulstone to pop in and out from the nether... but Iblees can't?

Other stuff seems great, goodjob ^.^

The soulstone is still not very understood by the races of Asulon, it's a very powerful relic that bends reality around it, much like a wormhole, only instead of going through a wormhole it transports the operator to their desired location by whisking them through the nether.

Just hope and pray your soulstone doesn't malfunction and you're left stuck in the nether? :o.

Awesome content patches!

Just one thing- It is equipped, not equiped! Sorry, I should be less of a grammar nazi. :( thanks for the awesome patch, Vaq!

I picture it like traveling through the warp in Warhammer, you could go the long way, but The warp distorts things, so you enter at point A and leave at point B but it's much more shorter. Now if only I could soulstone to my home and BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD

Another question tied to your response ^.^

~This means that one cannot get in trouble anymore for soulstoning out of a prison or away from RP.?

I can't comment on this as I'm not a community GM, however I would think if I was RPing I would make the person give up their soulstone before imprisoning them.

Then if you relogged to get it back, that would obviously be against the rules.

So help me, DB better mean database, because if people start SS'ing into my torture chambers...

Great work Vaq

No Soulstone locations were harmed in the making of this patch, yes?
