-Do not edit STARTUP.TCL! If you wish to edit the startup variables, look in TCL, find the file 000_Start-TCL.tcl
-Language texts using .tcl instead of .txt.
-One of the biggest fixes, removed Generated.tcl 13000 Switch script, now using arrays. This solves long loading times. Switch script was 1.6 seconds to load when called (Aka in mail, auction, etc) and array calling takes 0.02 seconds. Big difference, less problems! Most items do work now, minus some items (Like stacked food/water I believe) and possibly other stacked.. Done by Greenseed, edited by Lazarus and myself.

Here's what *I* noticed right away:
- XP and Loot seems more normal
- Teldrassil is populated again
- Zepplins work proper!
- Some spells fixed

From my limited playing this morning (30 minutes worth) autofire NOT working, though to be fair I will try again.  I get the white box where the normal scripts should be, ie combat and general.  And, this is annoying.. I used the teleport to go over to stormwind, and now those teleports are gone!  I can't just teleport back to Darnassus!  I guess I'm goin' explorin'.

What is "normal" loot? Is that better than what we've been experiencing for the last while or is it lower?

I have no idea what normal is for loot.

Also the upgrade notes seemed to indicate a drop rate tool or something. So are you able to adjust the drops on your own now?

I hope this new patch lets me shapeshift to swim form. That would be cool.

Thanks for all your work man. I hope its not getting too annoying for you to be working on this... kudos!

"Normal" to me is what you would expect to see on a Blizzard server.  I killed some things that I used to kill all the time on the pay servers and saw about the same stuff dropped.  For example, greater duskbats used to drop between 10 and 40 copper and some linen, maybe a meaty wing here and there.  That's what I'm seeing here too.  XP seemed "normal" to me as well.  Remember, I had it up high the past couple weeks.

As for autofire, a new server patch has come out for that already...  I'll upgrade the server at an opportune time.  No changes for you guys since yesterday though.

BTW, Hawkeye, those teleports were not normal!  Glad you got use of them while they were there, but they totally didn't exist in those places on the pay servers.

Those teleports were handy. AS long as the zeppelins and boats are working right now thats cool. Takes longer than the teleports did, but as long as it gets you there. :)

Yah I figured normal meant what the pay servers do but I havn't been on the pay servers so all I have to compare it to is what I've seen on diddlycraft so far. I guess I'll find out for myself this evening if it is better orworse than before (I hope its better... , as in more stuff drops). I'd love to find some blue/yellow/purple items. That would be good.

Hopefully someone can fix my main weapon now too.

Some things I noticed right away. I had to re-do the server selection thing when I fired up the game. I had to change all my settings back to what I had them at before, this includes, video, sound and controls.

Also first time in i didn't have any control over my character. So I logged out and then got a "your add-ons are out of date" message. I said OKAY to delete then OKAY to continue then closed the game and restarted and it was fine.

Problem: The controls option gives me an error and won't let me re-map my controls. So thats annoying. But I can live with it.

Problem: Talents pane doesn't work anymore. Says "Ui is out of date'.

Yeah, don't delete the addons in the game.  If it says they're out of date, you should tell it to load them anyway.  That may have had an impact on your controls.

Once you delete the WTF/WDB directories, you'd have to reset all your controls, resolution, log in, etc.  The server instructions suggested they be deleted because they would conflict with the addons.

If I were in your position, I'd delete the WTF/WDB directories again, delete the stuff in AddOns and populate it from the zip file linked in the instructions.  This time let it load the out of date addons.  I don't expect it would ask you again after that.  (Only asked me once)

I found a teleport for stormwind in darnassus again!  Yeee hawr.  Also when I went to darnassus this morning everyone was dead.  There were corpses all over the place.  Trarman did you go on a GM .Kill'in' spree again?  I looted the heck out of everyone one and then they respawned.

I've noticed everyone dead in a few other areas as well....  When I first visited Darnassus half the population were corpses.  At least they respawn.  :)

BTW, I've updated the server again this morning (around 8am) to 1.3.4.  They've changed autofire again, so maybe you'll have better luck with it.  It was just a minor update.

Do we have to update for this new fix?

Nope, nothing required from your end.

I found since the patch that monsters are missing. Mainly, the first quest I was out to finish yesterday had to do with killing some scarlet robe people or something like that in the northern part of the eastern plaguelands. Anyways, they were all there on sat/sun but none of them were there yesterday after patching.

Also all of the monsters are much more difficult to kill now, stuff I was just tearing through before takes me a lot longer to defeat and I almost die in the process. Things actually seem to cast spells on you now.

Hmm...  that's odd, because the world data hasn't changed.  The server patch only changed some script files.

Yeah I noticed that too this morning.  Creatures are a lot tougher.  Like in the pay server.  I had trouble with an elite character who is 5 levels below me!

Trarman - I think I got that worm off my system so I decided to download the new addons and give my new monitor a whirl (and boy oh boy do I loves it).

Anyhow, a problem I noticed with the new version is when I tried using my skils or training my skills (specifically brew potion and talking to a druid trainer) it told me:

Couldn't load.
Blizzard_TrainerUI: Out of date
[Okay]

What am I doing wrong this time?

Has anyone else been able to train?  I haven't tried yet.  After I sell some loot, I'll be able to afford to try training.

I had that problem the other day, but the next time I loaded the game it asked me about the addons, and remembering what you had written, I installed them and shabadu's problem went away.

BTW, everyone in Darnassus was dead again.  I looted' em and they respawned.  

Noticed a bug tonight - tried it a couple times so it seems to be persistent.

If you click "Exit game" you cannot cancel it.. whether you click "Cancel", hit the ESC-key or click "Exit now" you will instantly exit the game.

Nothing major but something I noticed all the same.

I noticed it too, but it's easy enought to log back on.

Sure, just pointing out the errors I find.
Not complaining.. to save $20-$25 a month I think I can live with the couple times I decide at the last second NOT to exit where I initially wanted to.

I find I am beginning to enjoy this version far more than the last.  I am definately going to try to get my honour ranking higher to see what the heck is in those honour areas of the game.

I like this version too.  So far I have only come across one mission I couldn't finish.

I haven't encountered any, but I'm a lookin'  well not really.  I've got a couple of baddies that I'm hunting that have dragons outlining their level.  but their level 35 and 34 and both are elite..  it'll take some doing but I hope they got good stuff to drop.

With this latest patch what has changed?

Blizzard recently released patch 1.10 for everyone, which includes the usual changes (fixes, etc) and most notably weather effects.  Of course, since our server doesn't make use of any of the new features, there's no real reason for someone to upgrade if they're working already.  Although Shabadu did discover on Saturday that the new version allows your character to disrobe completely....  His human female character spent a lot of her resting time topless.  :)

Other than that, I haven't noticed any difference.

I simply updated the instructions to keep with the most current patch level.  You're fine to stay where you are.  Heck, on my mac I am still using patch level 1.8.

It amazes me that Shabadu found that out.

Yah well I was able to smith my own new (and magical) chest armour.
And when I took off the old one to sell it, there I was in my all my glory.
See I knew there was a reason to play female characters.
Dear gods, Trarman, don't disrobe your minotaur - I can only imagine the size of what is lurking under his pants... ;P

I just tried to see my character's boobies, but she still has a bra on.  Darn I was SOOOO looking forward to seeing computer animated elf apendages.

Guess that's a feature of the 1.10 client.

Trarman - you told me to send an email, so here it be.
I am looking for the pole arm trainer, Emily Vaccar.  She is supposed to be in old town in Stormwind City, but I cannot find her where she is located on the map or anywhere around there.
Does she indeed exist in your woorld or am i left without the option to train in pole armery in Diddlecraft?
