Patch Notes (http://www.neocron.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=386&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0)

Main menu/Launcher/Options
- Password encryption changed. You'll need to re-enter the password once after this patch.
The encryption for the password stored in your computers registry is now dependent on your hardware configuration. This should keep your password safe even if a malicious program or script tries t0 steal the password from the registry. You *may* need to re-enter the password once after changing your hardware configuration.
- The client.exe file check now prevents the start of Neocron if modified files are detected. A few files are excluded from this check to further allow some client modifications like the NeocronNetwork launcher. The check does not include model, texture and sound files, nor the ini files in the \ini folder.
- New function "Resume" in the main menu. You can now make a quick login with the last used character/server.
- New option in neocron.ini: 'LIMITMODES = "FALSE"' removes the limitation of the fullscreen modes. No liability for display errors in the main menu and R.P.O.S. (In other words, you can use uncommon resolutions like widescreen)

Weapons
- Fixed Raygunpistol reload sound.
- Adjusted Anti Vehicle/Aircraft weapons TLs.
- Added rare weapon descriptions and fixed some other descriptions. (english version only)
- "DOY Raygun Cannon" no longer researchable.

Armor
- Added a new type of use restriction: Character class. Used on all Powerarmors.

- Added Powerarmors for Spies and Private Eyes, will be made available through runs.

Implants
- Adjusted construction brain imps (+3/5/8 CST -> +5/10/15 CST).
- Fixed lvl 1 implant drops.
- Added rare "Machina Gloves" (+5 DEX or INT, +15 CST or RES or IMP or REP or REC, +10 TRA, -100 PC/RC/RCL/MC/HC)
- Smart targeting eyes all give T-C now.
- Increased PPW bonus on Psi Core and Dimension Splitter from 10 to 14 to balance out the APU/PPU hit on damage %.
- Increased research bonus on advanced nerves from 3/5/8 to 5/10/15.
- Fixed "Special Rigger Interface" drop, drops like the other rare imps now.
- Added Kamikaze chips (+ Combat Skills, - Resists).
- Added antigamma bones.
- "Biotech Advanced/Experimental Headbone" no longer researchable.
- "Biotech Chest" and "BioTech Vehicleinterface 2" researchable again.
- Filter Heart 1's -5 CON hit was reduced to the correct -3 intended.
- Crahn Defensiv-PSI-Processor 3's Use restriction corrected to the proper PSI 67.
- Defensive-PSI-Processor's & PSI Attack Chips now give bonuses to the PSI Skill, lvl 1 = +1, lvl 2 = +2, lvl 3 = +3.

Vehicles
- Doubled vehicle weapon damage.
- Increased vehicle resists:
Force: -20% -> 0%
Pierce: 40% -> 60%
Fire: 40% -> 60%
Energy: 50% -> 70%

Other items
- Increased Viarosso Lvl3 app price.
- Fixed/changed some item names and descriptions.
- Books and Datadiscs are no longer sold.

- Construction and Research missions now have more appropriate tasks and rewards.

Misc Fixes
- Terminal\Forum: Fixed thread sorting.
- Some small terminal fixes, affecting email and faction systems.
- R.P.O.S. quicktips scrollbar fixed, display error (assigned key names) fixed.
- GMs with Faction Counsellor status are now correctly handled as members of their respective faction. All other GMs remain members of CityAdmin. Note: you may have to recreate the Counsellor character to make the change to take effect.
- Faction Channel can be muted now.
- Deactivated "Jump" in the QuickChat mode.
- Fixed animation timing bug for the doors of subway cabs.
- Replaced guards in newbie MC5 to prevent exploit.

World changes
- Fixed maps (object placement etc):
* Chairs in the Outzone (Crahn) clan apartment
* Underground entrance in F_11 Devereaux Fortress
* Bench in the VentureWarp Store Pepper Sector 3

Damn, that looks like an really nice patch.

Long time since last patch, but it is really compensated with
alot of new content :P

Added rare "Machina Gloves".
Will these drop as an lvl3 implant (in one piece) or as
5-6 parts?

Now moderate constructors can have a shot at getting service
with the machina gloves.

cst and adv nerves adjusted for bigger bonus.. nice :)

People will start buying slotted dungeon drops.

Kami chips will give average players a chance to use the big guns
effectively.

Vehicles are more viable now with double damage and armor,
it was awesome before now it will be even better. I'm going to
consider speccing my VHC for rhino now.

Rare shotgun will be searched for, and bought.

PE/Spy pa at last.

PPW bonus increae on psi core and DS + INT Exp Increase...great.

Antigamma bones, hope its storebought :confused:


Special rigger interface + riggers dream, i can see droners starting
to get insane combat ranks from these two chip's bonuses.


Glad i got anti vehicles made before they fixed them. I got like 4
five slotters.

Tank PA, melee pa.. interesting for tanks to finally wear pa4.



Awesome patch.

(goes to make more blueprints of exp head bone and other stuff
before things are forever changed)

laughs at Vettero and QD who will need to respec resists for PA
and antigamma bones.

;)

Any more information on how one acquires the PE PA? (ie who do we talk to to initiate the run, is this run available to all factions, etc...) or do we have to find this out for ourselves?

What he said, and what about the gama bones? Are those a MOB drop or sold in stores?

Although I suppose searching/exploring is part of the fun, I just want to know if there is some NPC to go searching/exploring for.

Shame I dropped 60+ tech parts on my alts appartment hallway to collect for storage, logged off to log him on to collect them (no room in clan apps) and server was down :P no warning message :(

nothing I hadnt got already, and some I gained via a bug where I removed them from a Cabinet, ID'd them, and they appeared un-ID'd again later that night..... :) justice perhaps.

I think the likelyhood of them being there when I log back on is very slim. Now I gotta adjust my list now, luckily I have them all on a bit of paper, shouldnt take too long....

Anyway, apart from all that patch looks good, still waiting for it to appear on the ftp server.

Anti-Gammas won't have negatives, they'll be like normal bones but less bonuses in trade for x-ray resists.

PE PA will reduce PSI and I think psi power.

Well join the HC tank pa club. They need athletics.

But as PE class being best solo-ist ingame currently, adding
pa to them is icing on the cake, also a nice terminator shotgun
to play with and stealth + anti gamma bones. I wouldn't be
complaining about that.

Doh! I missed that!

And I have tonnes of BP for all of the crahn research missions allready done.

Althought that is good, there is one of the research missions for crahn that did require a mining tool, some of the other missions required stuff you couldn't research as well, so I guess it is good overall.

1. will the PE and spy PA be availible straight away, or will a GM have the spwn the NPC's like the monk PA

2. Gamma bones - can you buy them in the shop, or are they rare drops from wb's

3. Terminator - Will that be availible straight away

basically, if you havnt been on test server, there are many types of glove, ie: CST glove, give a BIG boost to cst, but a even bigger hit to something like......R-C, T-C, P-C, H-C etc, so all your weaponary skills get hit, so u use glove for cst'in, then take it out :) same for int, etc :)

FFS there's a thread pertaining to the patch at :

You'd think a mod would start merging these patch questions
into that thread already.

PSI drops ?
alright ... well i wont kill for my blessed flector... it aint really that great IMHO. But i wanna keep me shelter !

Hey but tanks have enough con to make up for the loss in athletics...

Shotgun sounds fun but getting its gonna be difficult, cause of them strange book drop...

And anti gammas... you dont think the bonuses they lose will be like the body health , the athletics etc... :( ? dont mind about the resist force hehe.

omg ur right about those vechs. rofl they were supposed to be introduced in an event. hey just put em in the shop and u wont have to bother with the event lol...

About the Terminator, as u might read the whole patchnote list, Cavebosses will have the possibility to drop a book, that will be needed to start the run to get the rare shotgun called the terminator.

My guess would be (at least) the following mobs:
Flame Chaos Queen (chaos caves boss)
Kri'knahk Shaman (swamp boss)
Batqueen (batcave)
MC5 commander (The badass MC5)
Viper King (Graves)

Malfuctioning STORM unit (Gaya mines)
Doom Harbringer (Point Red Underground)

If anyone wants to know when the sever comes up right away
instead of checking every second on the launcher, I suggest going
to http://mike.9m3.com/utilities.htm and downloading the ServerAlert
utility I made during NC beta4 (so many patches during beta, it
was a must have). Also I recently made a patchlog inspector utility
to see the changes made by the patch physically.

As always, anything I make wont ever contain something harmful
to your computer or my beloved neocron.

Thread link for Patchlog Inspector v1 (http://neocron.jafc.de/showthread.php?s=&threadid=70057&highlight=patchlog)

Hmm. Nice to see Retail catch up with TS and all but I have two (related) questions.

2) Is the line "Fixed the hundreds of >a year old drone bugs" missed on accident or have you once again done fuck-all about them?

Main menu/Launcher/Options
The encryption for the password stored in your computers registry is now dependent on your hardware configuration.

Excellent, much better than the not storing it at all option :)


New function "Resume" in the main menu. You can now make a quick login with the last used character/server.

Very Handy!, Get back onto other servers much quicker (the default if you keep hitting enter is to login to pluto)


Weapons
- Added rare weapon descriptions and fixed some other descriptions. (english version only)

Great! finally we get to read the stories :)


- Added rare Kamikaze drone "Revenge".
- Added rare Shotgun "Terminator", will be available through a run instead of the usual rareparts.
- Increased drop quality of "Special Dungeon Items" (STORM Laser, Flameavalanche etc).

Ah holy crap, with the rare drone and tweaked drone chips .... *shudder*
As for the books, I think I'll try to start a library ;) :lol:
Actually useful dungeon items!! :eek:


Armor
- Added a new type of use restriction: Character class. Used on all Powerarmors.
- Adjusted stats and requirements on all Powerarmors.
- Added Powerarmors for Spies and Private Eyes, will be made available through runs.

An end to the tank PA wearing PE druggy gimps! :lol:
I forsee a small army of PE's baying for their own PA, so they can all look like metallic ninja turtles :lol:

Implants

A huge bunch of sweet changes!

Vehicles

:)

Other items
- Books and Datadiscs are no longer sold.
Were they ever on retail?
- Added various items for new mobs and events.
:cool:
- Cavebossmobs rarely drop "Strange Books". These are needed to do the Terminator run.
mmm, *sniff* smells like, campfires..... roast mallows anyone? :lol:

Misc changes
- Moderately increased INT XP growth for Monks.
:angel: <3 <3 <3 :angel:
- Construction and Research missions now have more appropriate tasks and rewards.
Something to check out :)

Misc Fixes
- Faction Channel can be muted now.
Wheee!
- Fixed animation timing bug for the doors of subway cabs.
Something else to see :)

World changes

Good round of world fixing :)

- Added dynamic signs to all outposts: Name of the OP, name of the occupying clan, name of the occupying faction.
Hey, cool!
- Added Citycom stations in Area MC5 main building, added a few things to make it easier to get around.
Newb MC5? if so, sweet!!

Overall, RAWR!!

While pluto was offline I decided to make a quick character up on Saturn.

They made a few improvements to MC5 - there are civil advisors who tell you a bit about their class, whether it's a spy, PSI monk, tank or PE.

Add to this some signs to the genrep and a few other places! A good few improvements there! :)

Kinda disapointed at the Monk PA adjustements
PA3 : pierce +10, force+10, enr+55
Holy Spirit Vest : pierce +23, force+16, enr+39

Granted, we get more power out of the PA, but it doesn't provide any real protection.

spawned in a few days doesnt help... We werent told "i new patch will come out, but guess what, you wont get the pa" We were told : a new patch is comming out, the PA WILL be in it" I was very excited downloading the patch, "oh boy, I get my PE PA, and the xray bones and ill get to rework my con and stuff, maybe use a new gun cause of the PA, oh boy, I love figuring thats stuff out, cant wait!" And then get my hopes shot down.

In my view, its like someone offering you a present, saying its absolutely comming, and they give it to you, but then say "oh no... I gave you a present, but you cant OPEN it... did i forget to mention that? oh, im sorry"

I wouldnt be so mad if they had TOLD us we would have to wait after the patch came out, but I was all excited and then was totaly let down... thats my problem. And no, i didnt read the sticky immeditly because i have a little faith in the game and dont always assume there will be a problem.

And Ryuben, mumbly, stop kissing ass, I praise when its deserved, and complain when its deserved. I havnt seen mc5, but i hear its better, I tell em good job for tyhat, very importnat, but it really pisses me off they couldnt even give us ONE of the most highly anticipated things on patch day, not letting us have pa OR xray bones is a real kick in the nuts.

Dude, ur fallen angel (KOS KOS KOS) which means... someone will probably have to start the run for u (crahn = 50 symp + allied/neutral) so you can suggest the PE PA needs 50+ tangent & allied/neutral.

As the footnote edit implies I have not yet tested any of these I just like them ALOT they all sound reasonable...

Anyways.. these are what I like about the notes and I have already picked it apart and added my opinion below the quotes...


Main menu/Launcher/Options
- New function "Resume" in the main menu. You can now make a quick login with the last used character/server.

I Like this option because it does suck when you go AFK to have a smoke or restroom break and come back to a beautiful desktop or a login screen, and now I can brag to my SW:G Friends that already have this option [personal gratification ensues...]:D



Weapons
- Increased drop quality of "Special Dungeon Items" (STORM Laser, Flameavalanche etc).


Nice - I have a few of these Items (:lol: who doesn't - n00bs excluded ) :D


- "DOY Raygun Cannon" no longer researchable

Luckly for me I have a few of these already researched sitting in one of my apt. cabs :D


Armor
- Added a new type of use restriction: Character class. Used on all Powerarmors.

Does this include GMs Charater Classes as well?? :lol: j/k


- Adjusted stats and requirements on all Powerarmors.- Added Powerarmors for Spies and Private Eyes, will be made available through runs.

Sweetness... Finally PA4 IS Wearable!!!!:cool:ME LIKES ALOT:cool:!!!

Now for the Implants... :)


Implants
- Increased PPW bonus on Psi Core and Dimension Splitter from 10 to 14 to balance out the APU/PPU hit on damage %.
- Filter Heart 1's -5 CON hit was reduced to the correct -3 intended.
- Crahn Defensiv-PSI-Processor 3's Use restriction corrected to the proper PSI 67.
- Defensive-PSI-Processor's & PSI Attack Chips now give bonuses to the PSI Skill, lvl 1 = +1, lvl 2 = +2, lvl 3 = +3.

this is Sweetness.. my Tank will benifit from this and so will ALL 3 of my Monks...


Misc changes
- Moderately increased INT XP growth for Monks.

*Knees begin to tremble* This is something I've been Peronally waiting for since I first started playing NC that and the Crahn Epic: PSI Power Gauntlet...8|


- Characters with a SL of -32 or less now gain a bit more SL while completing missions (at least 1 SL per mission).

If you crazy ppl wit THAT Much Neg SL can leave there apts. This should be a good one ...


- Construction and Research missions now have more appropriate tasks and rewards.

Nice to hear... and Im sure that peoples with these TradeSkills will really appreciate it now more than ever


World changes
- Added dynamic signs to all outposts: Name of the OP, name of the occupying clan, name of the occupying faction.

YEAAAAAA!!!!! Now, entering an enemy OP 'unkowningly' can now be avodied... and/or funner to mess with them - up to you the individual. Now... AND think of the up-and-comming OP wars *begins to drool* [I Personally cannot wait to have my corpse on any enemy OP floor...(yes.. that includes uTs)]


- Added Citycom stations in Newbie Area MC5 main building, added a few things to make it easier to get around

Once again... Sweetness :D The New People that play will get to taste the rest of Neo without leaving MC5

[edit: These are the portions of the Patch Notes that I LIKE, If you disagree then please post your opnion. And I have not tested them quite yet... this weekend thou I will...]

it sounds like everyone should re-install maybe at each patch.. lol

i think i am gonna try it and see.. maybe files somehow corrupt on each patching or something since i seem to get more and more fatals since i re-installed a few months ago. When i first installed again i had no problems.. only after patch 187 did i start to have issues and more fatals.

Ok... it is the start of the new week and, like I said in my last post, I was able to 'test' the new patches myself...


First and foremost:

I had to reinstall NC after I patched to 188
Not at all fun, but, oh well [My friends machine really needed the Un-Install/Defrag/Re-Install...] But instead of emailing Helpdesk and bugging the crapola outta these forums I took the knowledge that they[these forums] had bestowed upon me and troubleshooted it myself with the results I was expecting.

Then I log in... :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Everything that I stated before is still: SWEET


Story Tyme:
Although I did run into one problem: Chaos Caves... Myself/a HC Tank/ and a PPU form another faction-friendly Clan...
First the PPU enters the cave, then myself, and after a bit of 'ammo-making'; the tank finally shows up...[kinda 'fasoinably late' i might add]
The one disturbing thing [the only disturbing thing besides the Tank's tardiness] was that the PPU was in a PE skin...o_O 'oh well' I think to myself as we proceed deeper into the cave... Don't get me wrong.. I thought it was kinda cool watching a PE cast Holy Para :D and Holy Ressurection :D but then the tank dies... shortly there after the PPU... dies? :eek:!! And of-course I die too [/me APU]:rolleyes:. I then wait for like 10 Minutes; after no activity - except the chaos mobs swarming my dead body - I decide to GR to Canyon Reloading Point... Bad move on my part; 'cause I end up at my Primary Apt. In Via ?!?o_O?!? After the 40% Impairement I went through.. I purchase my Backpack and then decide to head back out to CRP... The Plus side is that the PPU aslo Implanted for Trade so I was in luck and dire need of a few Imps... :D and after getting Imp'd and Paying my usual tipping [10K - per imp] I ask the PPU ever so politely to grab my 2 QB that had dropped inside the cave... {btw, whole team is outta cave/dead inside cave at this point} the PPU generously goes into the cave and retrieves the whiole teams QB's.

Needless to say - I was amazed... and I had a fun time

Then I bought a Plaza 3rd Level Apt. and started to transfer stuff back and forth 'tween my main and my Tank [2nd Main] and gave my Plaza 2nd Level Apt. to [Tank] Him...

Had a Blast!!! Keep up the excellent work Reakktor!:D

SirSensi
