http://wurmpedia.com...ease_Notes_2013 Add to existing page: 130318 - Item count per floor level Item count now works per layer in a structure. Due to the rendering issues this may cause, you may only put 5 non-pile items (we call them decorations) per floor tile in a house. You may now rename gifts with the proper player name The creator tag length was increased You may now create a logon message to all your villagers in village settings 130311 - Catapulting fix, movement and anvils The reload bugs with catapulting have been sorted. Some skills were reversed and a few 3 day bans for exploiting handed out. There were no really bad cases of exploiting though - good job! Fixed a bug where leading creatures in caves would get them stuck Players should now be properly positioned on bottom floors Large Anvils can now be dropped properly again 130309 - Breeding update, crash bugfix A bug that crashed the Serenity server was fixed You may now breed typed animals again. 130308 - New terraforming options If your game crashes when you log on, try disabling VBO in the Compatibility tab. You can now level an adjacent tile if the one you are standing on is flat! You can now flatten tile borders! It is currently not possible to breed creatures of special types. Next update a “bred in captivity†trait will be added which prevents fight skill gain from the creature. The Wrath of Magranon spell was considered overpowered and now only affects the target tile Boat keys should no longer disappear when you change servers There is now a option for moving items in village settings Planning and building is now better blocked when in illegal mode Archery on non-player creatures while penned or on another floor level now properly yields no skillgain since it’s too easy The bug where you could not remove build plans of two tiles was fixed Sprout in BSB’s now work Pristine portals no longer require you to be premium to travel to Affliction Chaos players are no longer converted to freedom when travelling to epic Tower guards no longer spawn in other kingdoms perimeter Using the portal from GV should no longer make it impossible to switch kingdoms for 2 weeks You can no longer light campfires inside structures Harvesting with a bucket no longer gives sickle skill Doing things while fishing no longer messes up the timer A bug that crashed the servers was found The bug where lumps had wrong icon will slowly go away Raising rock with concrete now properly sets data for the rock Catapulting messages should have improved and you now shoot the proper amount of tiles. Note that the parabel is calculated based on the height of the tile you aim at. We are discussing adding a some visuals for it or changing the system somehow.

As of a few days ago, I'm able to see the water spray animation in 5 of my underground fountains where I couldn't previously. This is both on stable and unstable clients and both the ornate fountain and fountain. Can you check again being sure you can see it above ground first then check underground?

Enjoy the episode? Without a doubt. Enjoy mediation? Only if you like being disappointed every 30 minutes, 5 times a day! Which I guess I do since I'm at 72 meditation skill currently. Great job as always, you two I can always count on you for my weekly chuckle.

http://www.wurmpedia...ease_Notes_2013 Add to the current listing: 130301 - Battlecamps moved again Battle camps on Elevation and Chaos had to be relocated again 130228 - Converts to HOTS available for priests on Chaos Priests located on the Chaos server may now use a free faith transfer to Libila using /transfer. Spy (logon) prevention should now be active on Chaos 130227 - The Shroud converted The Shroud on Chaos has been converted to HOTS and should function as a start town. Everyone within it’s vicinity had to be converted to HOTS lest they be slain as they log on. A crash bug with catapults shooting one tile was fixed Custom kingdom settings should be properly propagated and saved on other servers so that portals don’t allow auto join for instance. You should now be able to conquer enemy towers within your own perimeter 130226 - Catapulting, Tower guards and uniques You should no longer be able to enter the other freedom servers from Chaos as HOTS Warmachine projectiles are now visible and should hit structures more properly on other floors Kingdom guards and uniques will now enter caves through mine doors War camps no longer block deeding as far. The camps on Elevation were respawned Uniques will now bash mine doors and walls a bit more efficient 130206 - Floors returned The floors that decayed too quickly should now have returned. 130201 - Custom kingdoms on Chaos enabled Custom kingdoms have been enabled on the Chaos server, which should increase PvP activity. This means deeds may be raided. A player in a custom kingdom who leaves the Chaos server for a non-pvp server in the Freedom cluster should be set to the freedom kingdom and back to the custom kingdom when he returns. The Chaos code could not be tested since it’s specific to that server, but there was demand to make it live before the weekend so that people could start forming kingdoms. A fix to Catapulting is in the works which will make raiding easier and releasing this update before that fix will help the transition. You should now be able to invite mayors to custom kingdoms which will convert the whole settlement Inactive non-citizen-owned structures in perimeter should start decaying very fast Mayors may now dismiss personal merchants on their deed if the owner has not logged on to that server for 1 month. Any items on the merchant will be mailed to the owner and remain for 6 months. Flanking modifier is now calculated on your mount if you ride one. Now when you destroy floors and walls which would cause a section of a structure to float in the air, they will instead remain as plans You may now climb down from floor opening plans There’s now visual feedback for the rarity drumroll 130117 - Sacrificing for village faith The value of sacrificing items for village bonuses has received a boost in order to keep the number of items in the database as low as possible. The combat rating effect of village war bonus was increased and works at low levels as well. The creation bonus now may give larger rarity window. All effective bonuses are divided by number of player citizens. Hint: The bonuses go down with 15% per day so it’s usually a waste to sacrifice if you manage to max the bonuses out. For the same reason, butchered items now have a lot higher decay rate. You may now examine (and detect hidden) mine doors below the surface of the water Shield bashing skillgain was increased Crushing weapons now do more damage to shields 130114 - Tutorial server optimization, reprospecting etc We’ve limited the number of initial faces on the tutorial server a bit, which should mean better performance. Another round of prospecting has occurred on all servers mainly in order to add more marble and slate but other ores may also have appeared The problems with low bushes should be resolved and you should be able to shoot over parapets Server buffersize was increased, so reconnection issues should be resolved for some players Entities on the Valrei map now get back up to half their initial vitality when they survive a map hex A bug where some planning and building situations were not enforced by settlement laws should be fixed

The Labyrinth looked amazing! I rarely leave my deed let alone leave the server, but that so made me want to go. I do hope it gets a good home and doesn't decay into nothingness. So very creative.

No one knows why, but none of us can get in and those of us who are in can't do anything anyway. It's not you. No ETA on a fix at this time.

According to Is It Down Right Now, it's down for all of us: http://www.isitdownrightnow.com/wurmonline.com.html

Reproduced. 2nd floor campfire, ash appeared on first floor. 3rd floor campfire, ash appeared on first floor. Both floors were wooden plank floors. - Stable client.

Definitely an olympic feat. I suggest you make it a yearly event/contest. Have Faeran and Griph each start with an item to push from Northern Deli to Southern Deli and have people place bets on who will cross the finish line first. They need to be equiped with only the starter set a new player comes out of the tutorial with. Let them forage and botanize for their meals. (To make it EASY, be sure they pass a clay pit and a water source along the route).

The reason I play Wurm is because I can, for the most part, play it the way I want to play it. I'm one of those people who rarely leaves my deed(s). Why? Because the game I enjoy playing revolves around terraforming, building, farming, animal husbandry and crafting. I'm a do it yourself kind of gal. My husband and I gather our own resources, make our own items, interact with our real life friends and assist those in our local when needed. There are reasons to leave your deed if you so choose, depending on your playstyle. Some people like to hunt, others like to explore. There are often player sponsored events that encourage community interaction - Impalongs, Festivals, Tournaments, Treasure Hunts, Etc. There have been posts asking for help imping up Market Stalls in FM, joining a militia to keep the streets around the spawn point safe for new players, singles or groups of people making stuff and handing it out in and around Freedom Market. We have many very creative and imaginative players. I especially enjoyed MD's Pirate Treasure hunt a (few) years ago now? Even my alt left her deed and found a treasure chest! We've never seen so many new 'faces' in local as we had during that hunt. Awesome stuff. Although we are limited by some game mechanics, it amazes me what people can think up and accomplish with some forethought and planning. Kudos to those who plan and run events. Bravo to those who take it upon themselves to help others in whatever way they can. And thank you to Rolf for creating a game I can play the way I want to play it.

Lola, I'll send you a lock and mooring anchor. Tie tightly around the ankles.

I've never seen a chicken live past the aged stage. I haven't had many at all, but the few I have had over the years all died natural deaths at aged. Has anyone seen a Venerable chicken?

We have multiple problems with being able to plan floors on multi-story house ground floors as well. In the same house we can plan some floors and not others. Reported it, had it looked at, can't figure out the common problem so will wait for a fix.

Congrats Cerber! I think my puppeteering went up by 50 just listening to your shows at Impalong this year.

I also get the cultivate option on any floor on any story and on at least 2 types of roofs. I cultivated my slate roof and got this message: [21:31:20] You start to cultivate the soil. [21:31:24] The ground is cultivated and ready to sow now. However, I was not able to plant a flower after I cultivated my roof.

Add one more WOW and Awesome to the list! This makes me want to play Wurm. Oh wait, I already play Wurm Faeran, this was well worth the wait. Incredible! You, my friend, are an artist.

Thanks Docterchese, I had not tested single doors since that was always a no previously. Before I start saying it's possible, I'd like confirmation from a dev as to intended or bug to be fixed, on both types of doors now. Would also like to know if this is ground floor only or multi-story. I haven't tried to push a bed out a second story building door.

I was able to push/pull a bsb through a double door on a completed house. People in CA Help have confirmed that they've been able to do the same with beds and boats as well. Is this a bug or is this working as intended?

Pigs do not graze on any type of tile. Harvest your crops and drop them in the pen. They will eat food dropped on the ground but will not graze on the planted tiles.

Good point Wulfgar, that would explain the damage as I did plan the roof a day earlier, but didn't get to build it until yesterday. That explains the damage part. The wooden shingle roof was planned and built the same day so no damage. That just leaves the roofs and floors reporting that they are something else when improving

Improving wooden floors has similar oddities: [00:58:35] Floor completed! [00:58:37] It is a normal floor made of wood. [00:58:37] QL = 17.274965, dam=0.0. [00:58:44] You start to improve the floor. [00:59:13] You improve the wall a bit. [00:59:26] It is a normal floor made of wood. [00:59:26] QL = 26.25909, dam=0.0.

The same thing applies to wooden shingle roofs. You start to improve the floor, you improve the wall - the roof gets improved.

I don't even know where to begin. Bug - Repair/Improve thatched roof. 1. I built a thatched roof on a building that had a gravel floor previously. I did not plan a floor. 2. After the thatched roof was built, I grabbed a plank to improve it. I only got the repair option. 3. I'm not sure how the roof took 10 damage, it was just built. (message showed I repaired the floor) 4. Got another plank and got the improve option this time, so clicked it. Below is the log. Even though I'm improving a thatched roof, it's telling me I'm improving a floor or a wall or both. [21:09:27] It is a normal roof made of thatch. [21:09:27] QL = 13.354556, dam=10.0. [21:09:43] You start to repair the floor. [21:09:56] It is a normal roof made of thatch. [21:09:56] QL = 13.354556, dam=10.0. [21:10:12] You repair the floor a bit. [21:10:15] It is a normal roof made of thatch. [21:10:15] QL = 13.341598, dam=0.0. [21:11:52] It is a normal roof made of thatch. [21:11:52] QL = 13.341598, dam=0.0. [21:12:52] You selected 1. [21:12:57] You start to improve the floor. [21:13:06] It is a normal roof made of thatch. [21:13:06] QL = 13.341598, dam=0.0. [21:13:27] You improve the wall a bit. [21:13:34] It is a normal roof made of thatch. [21:13:34] QL = 17.38653, dam=0.0. -----> said I was improving floor, then said I improved the wall, ql of roof went up. [21:16:12] You selected 1. [21:16:27] You start to improve the floor. [21:16:29] It is a normal roof made of thatch. [21:16:29] QL = 17.38653, dam=0.0. [21:16:56] You improve the wall a bit. [21:17:04] It is a normal roof made of thatch. [21:17:04] QL = 20.622475, dam=0.0.
