[T#182] PTS Patch Notes

Hello runners,

this patch is mainly aimed at tweaking interpolation again. So please focus testing on PvP, especially beam weapons. Important is also testing the new vehicle ruleset (see here), as well as buffing law enforced players by non law enforced players.

Technical changes

• Proper fix for HN NPCs not dealing damage
• Fixed parsing of default options for several NPCs
• Fixed a buffer overflow when updating world actors
• Raised Neocron's bandwidth limitations
• Fixed several reasons for invisible damage
• Fixed an error which lead to items dropping from the trade window back into the player's inventory
• Music should now play independent of the windows compatibility mode setting
• Interpolation paths have been smoothed
• The damage of beam weapons should now be calculated correctly

Gameplay changes

• Law enforced players are now buffable by non law enforced players, but not vice versa!
• The existing speed cap has been adjusted so speed tapers off more dramatically at higher livels of agility and athletics. Players with extreme speed setups will see a reduction of speed.

Sincerely,
Your Neocron Support Team
