Patch 144: Sept 30 2011: Housing, pet friending, pickaxes.

[Ulfrigg]

Fixed inability to use a pickaxe to dig for treasure unless there was a shovel in pack. Thanks Rose and Kaivan

Not a biggie but it was actually me discovering that

My sincere appologies. When attributing bug fixes I always fear that I'm going to leave someone out, as so often a few people add information that leads to the fix.
Thanks for pointing this out!

Not to nitpick, but I actually appeared to Kryptonical in a dream and informed him about the house placing issue. To be fair he might not have known it was me as I was in the guise of Josh. But still...

Nice patch!

[Zelek Uther]

Thanks for the patch Derrick!

So can you still not place on logs or branbles/bushes/rocks?

• Tournament event gates will be red, rather than blue.

Does this hint at tournaments coming back soon?

It means Derrick just reduced the amount of complaints he receives about LeLouche tremendously.

i have walked around and tried to place smalls at a few places. In some spots the house will go over the brambles,rocks etc. In some places it will not. I tried a spot where it should have fit np now and nothing. But found a spot that loked impossible and bam down it went.

Added this morning:

• It's not possible to teleport within a castle or keep courtyard.

This is verified against OSI, and explains why we had trouble with people teleporting into the Keep courtyards when we implemented the OSI LOS. It was also verified that on OSI you can indeed see into the keep space.

Thanks Robbb for leading us to this revelation.

All good changes Derrick. Thank you.

So can we teleport into a keep courtyard right now?

GREAT! Thanks a bunch for the good work.

Quick question, is this the final patch for the housing? Are improperly placed houses out of era? (Before our date) It seems to add a nice feel right now, but still not as "cluttered" as I thought it would be. I see you posted "housing placement is more correct, does this mean its still not complete?

Thanks again.

It's not possible to teleport within a castle or keep courtyard.

What about Recalling? I think that Castle and Keep courtyards are/were recallable. Can one still, assuming I did not imagine it, recall to the safety of one's Castle's, and/or Keep's, courtyard?
