We have a few major systems that have been either on the design board or in the middle of coding for quite some time, this is one of them so I am rather excited about finally getting this done.  I have to thank Domino for her help with this as well because to be honest, I never would of been able to do what she did to make this happen.


Version 84
CliLoc Handler: I am not exactly sure of what the specific data that is causes the freeze here however the function is what I was looking for to freeze the server.  Now has an exit catch to prevent it from running forever.
Pet killing exploit message removed, Pet Death flow corrected.
Everlasting Lockpicks Added: Not consumed...
Grey Mouser's Lockpicks Added: Like everylasting but also has a skillbonus when used.
Small Candle Added: Deco
White Pillar Added: Deco
Thin green tree Added: Deco
Petrified Spider Added: Deco
Scattered Boards Added: Deco
Carved Wooden Screen Added: Deco
HandOfCards Added: Deco
Barrel of bolts Added: Deco
Set of 9 vials Added: Deco
Marble Seahorse Statue Added: Deco
Lockbox Added:: These chests can be locked down at your house, they do not interact with normal house security.  Special keys can be crafted/found that you can give to people to permit access.
Lockbox Key Added (Recipe available for crafting): These keys are used for the Lockbox's, they are specific to a player and lockbox.
Lockbox Brush Added (Recipe available for crafting): You can use the brush to clear a Lockbox, all current keys will no longer work after used.  It can also be used to take ownership of a box if you have one from another player.
Gray Mouser's Toolkit Added (Recipe available for crafting): Having one of these in your backpack can help prevent some damage when doing puzzle boxes
Puzzle Boxes (New) Added: As some players like to say, the old ones have been Kane'n'ized.  Where to start, same basic principle applies.. guess the right colors and win the prize.  Luck is taken into account, as is lockpicking and remove traps.  Special equipment can help as well.  The more times you fail, the higher the damage. The loot table for these boxes can be updated in game during game play, so look for frequent changes as I attempt to create a fun new system for players to enjoy.
Facet Location System Added: First let me say thank you to Domino, she stopped playing for 3+ weeks in order to create a file that has over 4700 locations, by facet and location type.  I really can't thank her enough on this one.  This system will be used not just for puzzle boxes and other events but also Secret Vendors, Treasure Maps, Treasure Chests, Tomb Raiding and a few other new things we have on the list.  This is the first step to a few other projects.
Toy Puzzle Boxes Added: Random reward when clicked, this uses the Puzzle Box reward system which allows me to update in game.  You never know what you might get...
Fancy Shirt of Fog Added
Pants of Fog Added
Glimmering Scoria Added: Remove Trap Augment
Glimmering Shale Added: Lockpicking Augment

Version 85
Puzzle Chests now are named Puzzle Chest when you do a control shift
Puzzle Chest Timer reset cleaned up
Puzzle Chest Trap settings have been moved to the config file.
Facet Location: Cleaned up a bit
Puzzle Chest will now tell you if the chest has been tampered with.
Puzzle Chest: Added constructor to create by hand

Was a challenge but nothing compared to the work Kane does...the whole time I was doing it all I could think is the imagination doesn't cover what I KNEW Kane could do with these locations set up :)
