Help needed to test new update

[peterigz]

Greetings THF! I have merged in all the latest EQEmu changes to the THF server code to "keep with the times", and take advantage of any new features/optimisations. Big mergers like this though can often have bugs that need ironing out.

One of the new features is the implementation of Expeditions, allowing for instanced content for x amount of players with automated lockouts and such which will make devs lives easier as well.



I've set up Frostcrypt on the test server as an expedition so you can check it out whilst looking for bugs at the same time and give a chance for people to play it that missed it. Speak to Voodek in the forest to access Valdeholm.

Also: there's an item that has a chance to drop in the zone, if you find it and deliver it to the right person, then we'll enable the zone for an extra week on live when the update is released there!

To log on to the test server, you just need to add:

Code: Select all

Host=thfvirtual.dyndns.org:5999

to your hosts file, and comment out the usual host you use, so the end result will look like:

Code: Select all

#Host=login.thehiddenforest.org:5999
Host=thfvirtual.dyndns.org:5999
