T#219-220 Patch Notes

[Farril]

The patch level for the test server has been reset, so you must create a new test server installation. Please follow the instructions for creating a test client. The latest installer released on the download page is already patched to #212 to save time on patching.

KEY BINDING CHANGED!
Please reassign your keys. In the key options click DEFAULT and from there start assigning your wished key bindings again. If you do not reassign your keys, formerly ALT+[KEY] combination will work on [KEY] only!

New features

• Added ALT+[KEY] bindings. Players can now decide which action shall be used with a ALT+[KEY] combination.
• Added Loot-Rights! With ALT+0 to ALT+5 you can select who might be able to loot your NPCs. This applies just loot NPCs (hackgame loot to follow if this is working as intended)
• Added new controls to drones. Droners can now control the distance to ground with Duck and Jump keybindings.
• Added the use of Browser keys Previous/Next in the main menu to go back/next.
• Added Player-vs-Player action flagging. This is disabled in the default gameplay settings. But we might come back to discuss the flag and it's effects and test various combinations of the flag config.

Fixes

• Fixes RPOS Hint of the Day fontsettings: This is now in the fonts.ini
• Fixed NPC Dialog to not show the old answer options when blending the new dialog text
• Increased NPC Dialog blending speed
• Fixed Main-Menu key option menu: Using the up and down buttons does not require to select the centered action anymore before setting the key binding
• Fixed Main-Menu character selection: The male heads should be now in the same position independent of character class. (Female to follow)
• Fixed Main-Menu all: ESC key changed! It will return to the last menupoint instead of leaving the game. On the login menu the ESC will still prompt you to exit.
• Fixed Main-Menu list boxes: Active ListBoxes did scroll on key repeat events, even when neocron was not in focus.

Known issues

• Configuring hardware from the launcher isn't working. The workaround is to hold down Shift when you click on "Play Neocron 2" button. Keep shift pressed until the hardware configuration screen comes up.
• Starting the tutorial will crash the client
• The game crashes on exit, when you do not ALT+F4.
