It may be intermittent for awhile as they work out wtf ever they are doing.]]> http://www.ashrealms.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry121010-012749 2012-10-10T00:00:00Z 2012-10-10T00:00:00Z
Got a long way to go before there's even a point in a test server. Will keep updates here (if any) as it progresses.]]> http://www.ashrealms.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry120918-100732 2012-09-18T00:00:00Z 2012-09-18T00:00:00Z
Not sure why it decided not to copy it but it should now.]]> http://www.ashrealms.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry120728-044316 2012-07-28T00:00:00Z 2012-07-28T00:00:00Z http://www.ashrealms.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry120725-222833 2012-07-26T00:00:00Z 2012-07-26T00:00:00Z
Oh well

And comments are disabled until further notice. Tired of trying to keep up with the latest exploits from these idiotic spammers. Absolutely NO PURPOSE to what they do...but I've already been down that rant. Can't spam here if you can't fing type here. Suck it.]]> http://www.ashrealms.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry120725-161039 2012-07-25T00:00:00Z 2012-07-25T00:00:00Z
Cage Pets:
*Draconic Rage - Currently granting 20% Melee and Spellcasting Haste regardless of the pet's agility level
-I checked this spell using debug code and it's definitely adding the proper amount of haste..though it may not be on client side. It does a simple +% to haste by a specific amount manually put in. No dbcs or anything to screw it up.
*Arcane Haste - Currently granting 650 bonus spell power and 20% spell haste regardless of the pet's intellect level
-Secondary proc aura was not pulling values from primary. It will now.
*Pets have no melee attack distance when in Aggressive mode
-Adjusted melee distance to 10.0f (roughly 8 yards give or take).
*Thundershock has range of 5yards
-Not sure what's up with this spell..since the cast range is set at 30yrds and the AOE distance is 5yrds from target. Modified distance to 40yrds and aoe to 8yrds for further testing
*Electric Discharge
-Same as Thundershock except the aoe part.
*Stamina Pet Revisit
-The Stamina pet will now receive an Ultimate ability (1000+ Stamina) that is much improved - 20% of all damage taken by it's owner is redirected to itself and all incoming damage (including the redirected damage) is reduced by 50%.

Warlock:
*Succubus pet Seduction has no DR
-Adjusted this and other fear flagged spells for DR (some fears are not yet flagged properly)]]> http://www.ashrealms.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry120701-091946 2012-07-01T00:00:00Z 2012-07-01T00:00:00Z
If you take a look at the Core Devs websites, you'll see that they as well have not been updated in months. This is because it's near impossible to keep up and there are several roadblocks along the way.

I will be revisiting upgrade options after the new expansion comes out..but until then, do not expect any major revisions. As I've said many times already..we both have lives and neither are willing to give anyone else access to do updates..because (as has been proven before) it will not go well.

For the record, I have a 4.3 server working but I'm not releasing it because it causes more crashes and stability issues than anything. It also will take months to add all our custom changes into it. By then, the next patch or expansion even will be out..breaking everything that was done. When Blizzard calms down on major revisions, we will consider moving forward.

Repairs and updates that don't involve 4.3+ are welcome suggestions and I will work on them periodically as I have free time. Ash also checks the bug tracker for quests, items, and other related fixes pretty much daily. It's not like we're standing still..]]> http://www.ashrealms.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry120630-044428 2012-06-30T00:00:00Z 2012-06-30T00:00:00Z
Database was getting slightly bloated so Ash ran an orphan query to clean it up. Will not affect any players as it's items/etc with no ownership (and no storage).]]> http://www.ashrealms.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry120531-214036 2012-06-01T00:00:00Z 2012-06-01T00:00:00Z http://www.ashrealms.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry120511-123807 2012-05-11T00:00:00Z 2012-05-11T00:00:00Z http://www.ashrealms.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry120426-203053 2012-04-27T00:00:00Z 2012-04-27T00:00:00Z http://www.ashrealms.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry120316-034738 2012-03-16T00:00:00Z 2012-03-16T00:00:00Z
8secs - 1st
less on 2nd
less on 3rd
finally immune and no effect

Please give some details about what spells you're testing, what server you're testing it on, and how you're testing it. I will leave the test server up for a day or two in case people want to double check there to see if the issue is build related.]]> http://www.ashrealms.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry120307-205712 2012-03-08T00:00:00Z 2012-03-08T00:00:00Z
Need to know how the DR is working after this last restart. I don't currently have a test machine since it's set up for 4.3 without a working 4.3 server =/

As for 4.3, the map extractor is finally working correctly according to my tests. I'll start work on a fresh extract/compile today/tomorrow.. Probably won't work again...silly devs.]]> http://www.ashrealms.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry120307-201106 2012-03-08T00:00:00Z 2012-03-08T00:00:00Z
I've done these things on my own before for other patches but obviously the original author for the core would know more about it and get it done properly. I've got enough things to worry about as it is.

On a side note, my friend is putting out some really awesome 3d artwork for my personal android projects..so I guess I'll have to start taking it seriously now. Completely unrelated to the server but..I'm excited about it and don't have any where else to write about it.

My basic Mojo Mobile app has a whopping 325 downloads..heh. Not bad for what it is I suppose. Wrote it for ourselves to use anyway...only uploaded it so I didn't have to keep transferring it over bluetooth to everyone.]]> http://www.ashrealms.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry120217-002045 2012-02-17T00:00:00Z 2012-02-17T00:00:00Z
I really hope this isn't the flu...but it feels like it.]]> http://www.ashrealms.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry120205-043332 2012-02-05T00:00:00Z 2012-02-05T00:00:00Z
Will keep everyone posted when there's more to report.]]> http://www.ashrealms.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry120202-092837 2012-02-02T00:00:00Z 2012-02-02T00:00:00Z
Not much to report..still working out new patch updates and got a lot of personal stuff going on.]]> http://www.ashrealms.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry120122-210053 2012-01-23T00:00:00Z 2012-01-23T00:00:00Z
If it's not fixed on next restart, it will need more debugging to figure out why DR isn't getting called.]]> http://www.ashrealms.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry120111-084919 2012-01-11T00:00:00Z 2012-01-11T00:00:00Z
Been working on a couple projects around my house that have needed attention and a mobile app that I've been wanting to do forever. Not much else to do for the server until I can work out the patch issues. If you're curious about the app, you can load it from here. It's built specifically for my phone (Optimus S) and android 2.1. So, don't expect it to look right on your phone. I used to play Momir/Jhoira Basic on MTG Online and wanted a way to play it in real life..so, I built an app that queries Wizard's Gatherer API and pulls random cards using the rules from the Momir/Jhoira Vanguard. It has options to go to previous (Menu button) and next (Back button) cards and an option to clear the cache to start over (Search button). Purely an app just for me..but..whatever =P

So far the issues with 4.3+ come down to the extractors for data files being horrible broken/out of date and the opcodes being completely wrong. Not much good getting the latest patch loaded if you can't even speak..cast spells..or talk to NPCs..heh. There are other cores with more working for 4.3 but they have less working in other core elements or stability issues. It's not ready.

I'm sure either I or the core devs will figure it out eventually. I'll probably start back on our bug reports here soon if nothing gets figured out.]]> http://www.ashrealms.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry120105-061559 2012-01-05T00:00:00Z 2012-01-05T00:00:00Z
