2022-08-20 04:40

• Major Speed System Rework: Instead of using the wonky TFS Formula, Violet Server now uses a fully reverse-engineered CIPSoft Speed system for monsters, NPCs and players. This largely addresses accuracy with the monster's haste and paralysing effects/strength. Seen here in this video (Mummy paralyse adjusted for purpose of this example), you can see paralyse effects vary in strength and that paralyse effects are replaced, even if the new paralyse is weaker than the one already applied. https://discord.com/channels/647350376408023040/1002576773961232404/1010377659768901733
• Monster AI Reworks. Small adjustments in the monster attack spam have been corrected, they now attack like real CIP monsters. For example, the notoriously trigger-happy Hunter. https://discord.com/channels/647350376408023040/1002576773961232404/1010379142535065630

2022-08-17 04:12

• Fixed the way using fluid containers works. As per videos. Thanks @Libraru Discord. https://discord.com/channels/647350376408023040/1002576773961232404/1009283449355501628

• In preparation for item quests being reworked, the door of experience for Deeper fibula, black knight's room and the dragon lords near the fire axe quest have been removed.
