July 30

• Changed the ASPD value display. The current ASPD number represents "number of attacks you can do in 100 seconds." E.g.: an ASPD of 180 means "1.8 attacks/sec." This change is meant to make it easier to judge relative ASPD changes (eg: a boost from 185 to 186 in the old scale is much greater than a boost from 120 to 121).
• Fixed ammo sometimes being consumed after using an item-casted skill.
• Now on login characters receive a message informing them how many players and vendors the server currently has.
• Fixed the script for the Elemental sword so it auto-casts the four bolts as it should.
• Fixed the autocast for the Violy card.
• The inventory now gets sorted (in the same fashion that your storage does) every time you change maps.

Just an Emergency update to properly support the new client.

July 28

• Reverted the behaviour of Sanctuary as it ended up being too strong.
• The character "online" count no longer takes into account vendors.
• Corrected HP bar updates and Equipment acknowledgements for the new client.
• Steal Coin and Steal will now automatically stop once successful when used with @option 3 (reuse fixed range skills)
• Added DMR effect to equipment Heal bonuses.

I have a strange feeling of déjà vu here...

July 26

• Added the July 07 clients.
• Updated the bdata.grf. This version is needed for the July client.
• Corrected the novice grounds script to prevent "double" messages appearing if you relog.
• Corrected a few WoE Arena bugs.
• Corrected the Holy Light bonus for the Medic's suit combo.
• Corrected the equippable jobs for the daggers Krieg and Voina.
• The Quve card now grants a 5% chance of auto-casting L1 Emergency Avoid.
• The Lude card now grants a 10% chance of auto-casting L2 Reject Sword.
• Disabled creating accounts with less than four characters (in case you tried something like max_M, that would prevent you from ever logging in as account names need to have at least four characters).

Small things... mostly fixes. Hopefully this update should correct, once and for all, all missing item sprite issues.

July 22

• Updated the item_db, deleting along the way multiple items that had either no sprite, or no headgear sprite.
• "Monster Property/Sense" is now usable on players.
• Reduced the default selling price for headgears, as it was making the Old Blue Box the most reliable method for earning zeny.
• The habitat restoration speed now depends on the distance to the closest city. So farther away maps regenerate much faster.
• Items that are unrefinable will now count as if they had +10 refine for scripts (eg: most Glorious Weapons).

And the last minute update, to test "a new WoE"

July 23

• Disabled Sense from working on players. Instead, now Guild Castles will behave more like PvP (so damage is displayed and there are no guild banners above characters).

I expect to get busy in the upcoming days, so here comes a quick update with what I've done so far.

July 19

• Updated the bdata.grf
• Auto-refine to +12 will no longer take effect on items which were left at +0 (fixes non-refineable items being upgraded)
• Items that used to reduce Holy Light cast time have been changed to increase its power instead.
• Reverted Lord of Dead card to work on ranged weapons, too.
• Re-added the second Majestic Goat headgear, fixed its sprite view value.
• Autoblitz now works on all weapon types.
• Disabled HP regen while dead on Guild Castles.
• Added a way to calculate the distance between maps and the nearest town. This value isn't used for anything yet, but I am sure I can come up with some practical use for it afterwards...

July 20

• Updated the monster and item database to implement the remaining "Another World" monster cards.
• Updated the card shop with the new cards.
• Corrected script for the headgear "Feather of Bijofnil"
