Patch Notes for October 4, 2007

From EQLive:

October 4, 2007

Here’s a sneak peek at the Update Notes for the Thursday, October 4th update. Please note that these notes may or may not be changed before the servers re-open on Thursday.

*** Highlights ***

- New Cultural Tradeskill Recipes: The long awaited cultural update has been implemented. You will find the new books you need on "historians" that you can find in some of the more popular shopping zones. You will actually learn the new recipes directly by scribing these books. With this change the old recipes have been disabled.

- Copy Layout Window: Typing either /copylayout or pressing the Copy Layout button within the General tab of the Options window will bring up a list of all your UI_name_server.ini files with each layout stored in them (along with the ones stored in defaults.ini). Selecting one will copy the layout you selected over the current layout, including any custom skin, viewport and alpha/color/fade settings that might be in use. This can also be done directly (for those with a custom UI that does not contain the new window) by typing "/copylayout resolution INI_filename" where resolution is in the form "1280x1024" or "Windowed" for the windowed layout. INI_filename is optional, and defaults to the currently logged in character’s UI INI file.

- Fabled Adventurer Drinks: Criers around the world are carrying news of a new pair of drinks honoring the fabled adventurers.


*** Items ***

- Corrected the required level for the spell effect on Soulfed Green Legion Lifestone to match the item's required level.
- The Iron Cudgel of the Clairvoyant has fallen out of style and can no longer be worn as a hat.
- Fixed a bug in the return of Radiant Titanite of Minor Potency. It was returning the incorrect Mark on success.


*** Tradeskills ***

- Caerlenya in the bazaar will exchange the old swatches and bars to new items that can be used in the new update.


*** UI ***

- Fixed numerous UI issues related to changing the game resolution.
- The /viewport command has a new optional parameter. The 5th parameter "scale" can be "0" or "1". Not including it or using "0" causes /viewport to behave the way it always has, allowing a fixed size viewport. Using "1" causes the viewport to scale with the windowed mode EQ window as it resizes.
- Fixed several problems with window layouts and custom skins. The changes affect the way the windowed mode window layout is saved. In most cases your windowed mode layout will be converted for you automatically as you log each character into the game. However, in some cases the conversion will be unable to determine the original size of your windowed mode window. If this occurs you can simply use the new copy layout window (which should be displayed automatically for default skin users) or /copylayout command to copy a window layout of your choice to be your windowed mode layout. For more information visit the EverQuest forum thread on the subject. (http://forums.station.sony.com/eq/posts/list.m?topic_id=120218)
- Notes to custom UI builders: There was at least one custom UI that did not render windows at all when they were minimized. The UI changes include persisting the minimized state of windows. In those custom UI's, if you minimize, and the window disappears, there is no way of getting it back unless you manually edit the .ini file to change the Minimized setting.

- New -

EQUI_LayoutCopyWnd.xml

- Changed -

EQUI.xml
EQUI_OptionsWindow.xml
EQUI_VideoModesWnd.xml


*** Previously Updated ***

- Antraygus, the Sporali King and his allies now give a raid out-of-combat regeneration lockout.

These drinks are far and away the best drink in Norrath that I know of. I posted some information about the drops needed to make them, and you can see the recipes and stats here: http://mboards.eqtraders.com/eq/showthread.php?t=30052 and a subcombine here: http://mboards.eqtraders.com/eq/showthread.php?t=30051 (bottom two posts currently). The reicpes for these have only been up for about six hours, so all the details are not known, like drop rates, and etc. What I want to know is, since the drinks are referred to as fabled in the patch message, does that mean the recipes/drops/drinks will go away/be disabled/somehow be inoperative?

Hys .. as english isnt my first language, please be patient with the following question...

I dont get it quite right with this scribing of books.

>>You will actually learn the new recipes directly by scribing these books.<<

Ähem .. yes ... how? I remember very slightly that once ago there had been some info (or had that been just discussions?) upon being able to implement recipies from books, simply by right-clicking(?) it on the container .. well that just opens mine .. hrmpf.

Is anyone here more used to this thing?
Can I implement (scribe) ANY book (and the recipies within) in the correct container, or works that only on special books?

right click on the book in an open inventory slot to open it, click the scribe button on the book, it will disappear and the recipes will show up on your tradeskill container if you search it.

seems great! you can simply copy the layout from other chars stored on the PC. I haven't actually copied layouts, but seems easy enough to use.

It's really not that difficult. They just built an in game interface for it.
