Nice work. Please fix the PMK kingdom item bugs soon, they are the most expensive item in game.

there are some awesome long awaited changes in there, nicely done.

Seems to be bugged, it creates a shaft with the fishing rod icon, 100ql, 1,11kg. It keeps the enchants, but once you add a new line, it acts like a normal shafts. No enchants transfer and it uses only 1kg of that shaft.

this is fantastic. im loving the speed that updates are coming out at.

[Mattown 349]

awesome, glad about the scale.. always wondered about the inventory picture

[Wiro 370]

Lockpicking a door or gate with an unlocked lock will now properly lock the lock

Why? What we need is for doors to stay open when lockpicked, and any option to relock it removed. Now you can unlock a gate and it can't even be lockpicked: you move through and get stuck, or you lockpick it and achieve nothing.

Thanks Rolf!

Will also add a new threat for those using fences for protection (or those who just want to remove buildings).. now you only need to target 1 tile in place of two...

[Wiro 370]

* Added damaged versions of all wall types, switch at 60dmg

Oh, wow! (In the art tab in client)

[Shrimpiie 3,665]

do we need to replace fishing/fine fishing line when it snaps?

Yea, I really can't decipher the meaning of this statement. Seems to only way to really figure it out is to have your fishing pole break (?) or maybe the line only snaps now instead and then you just attach a new line to it? Also maybe it means the enchantments on the fishing pole remain when the line breaks and not the pole itself? Or maybe it means that since the poles are "no longer replaced", that only the line remains if it is snapped, meaning that it is actually the pole that snapped? Or maybe it means that if the line snaps that the pole remains but any enchantments that were on the pole are lost?

As I see it, it could be interpreted in any of the ways that I mentioned above (mayybe even more); but since I never fish anymore for years now, I will leave it up to the priests and poor newbies to figure this out. Good luck.
