0.0.3.0 Screenies
November 25, 2008
Shadow Weaver
So the next patch is going to be sort of a whopper. Lots of changes and content coming for those who have been waiting. Right now I am finishing off some of the design aspects and placing the last of the MOBs and placeables in the new regions. To give a hint of some of the new work coming in the next patch, here are some screen shots taken during the development of the regions. Keep in mind that these screenshots are not the final product, just a hint of what they will look like when finished.
More screenshots are available in the Media section.
Back up and running...
October 14, 2008
Shadow Weaver
Alrighty folks, the server is back up and running. The current live version is 0.0.2.1 and now requires the Mask of the Betrayer expansion to be installed. Version 0.0.3.0 is back on the dev block and will hopefully be up and live within the next couple of weeks.
For those who are interested, the mapping out of the main quest line has also begun, so you may see some quests added in 0.0.4.0.
Cursed!
October 3, 2008
Shadow Weaver
I think I am cursed. I finally got the new server up and running and seems stable for a couple of days. Now, once again, a piece of hardware in the new box has decided to go the way of the dodo. So I am left with a partially functioning server, can host the websites but not the module. So, this weekend I will be, once again, giving the server the once over to get the module up and running.
On happier news, 2 of the 5 new areas for the 0.0.3.0 patch are completed and 1 of the two classes, the Warrior, is just about ready for a trail run. That leaves 3 more areas and 1 more class before the patch goes out. Hopefully, the server fix this weekend will the short and sweet and I give these aspects of the patch some much needed attention.
I will update the patch progress and put up some screenies when I get the chance.
Server Outage
September 5, 2008
Shadow Weaver
Due to server death, the module is currently offline. The server has been repaired as of earlier this week, but I haven't had a chance to transfer the module over. At the moment, it looks like it will be a weekend job and will most likely include the 0.0.3.0 patch. Sorry for the downtime and the inconvienence.

Hotfix 0.0.1.2
August 15, 2008
Shadow Weaver
Here is the third hotfix. This download should, once again, be pointed at your My Documents folder and will overwrite various files. This hotfix includes the following changes:
Classes:
All:
- Health determination has been tweaked again and your Con score will now have a greater impact on the amount of health your character has.
Regions:
Styrith Glade:
- Corrected the door from the Wayfairer Inn to the basement. The door is now located outside of the inn on the right hand side.
Styrith Woods (West):
- Removed the Blackbird and Robin from the region and the potential spawn group. I didn't like the model and felt it didn't add anything to the region.
Wayfairer Basement:
- The door leading out of the basement has been corrected. It is now located on the ceiling and will take you out of the basement when you open it.
You can grab the file at the following location:

Classes:

You can grab the file at the following location:
vim_md_0_0_1_1.exe (159 megs)
As with the prior vim_md.exe file, this one should be pointed to your My Documents directory.
Correction to the available classes.
August 12, 2008
Shadow Weaver
Well the first hotfix is in place. I realized that the classes.2da file allowed the use of the warrior and saydh classes, despite neither of them being playable. I have corrected the 2da on the server and you will find the downloadable version in the follow linked below.
As with the prior vim_md.exe file, this one should be pointed to your My Documents directory. For those who created a warrior or saydh class prior to this, my apologies.
