DESCRIPTION
This update regards the multiplayer aspect of the game by adding a couple of server and client features for the sake of moderation. A lot of tech detail goes into it, so I'll just spill the fun stuff first:
- Alchemical elixirs and tattoos now transfer when connecting. Players using characters with many tattoo items are adviced to combine them into a single item for optimization.
- Curse and corruption transformations given through sex are now synched.
- Certain objects spawned using the "asset" command will now remain on the session after disconnecting.
- Console window can no longer be used online: the player must log-in as a server administrator using a password in order to input commands directly into it. The console UI will still show up for a normal player, but only allowing them to use adminlogin password as an entry. Scrolls are not affected by this: players are still allowed to write them offline and bring them into a multiplayer session.
- Server-side IP banning implemented.
The idea behind limiting console use is to channel players away from silently using it under the nose of everyone else connected.
Work continues on the offline story in parallel to all this, but that's a feature for an update after this one.
