RE: Patch Changelog - GM-Ciar - 12-05-2018 06:03 PM
- Fixed Prontera's official Christmas map which caused crashing after staying in the map for several minutes. The nonexistent visual effects on the Christmas tree in the center have been replaced by floating sparkly spheres.
Lutia Update Patch - GM-Ciar - 12-22-2018 11:47 AM
- Retouched and updated versions of Lutia maps have been added in preparation for tomorrow's maintenance. From now until the maintenance you might encounter issues in the region, such as no longer being able to walk into warps, or NPCs inside walls or trees. This is only until the maintenance occurs.

File Updates:

RE: Patch Changelog - GM-Ciar - 02-12-2019 09:42 PM
- Sprite Updates
- Added new weapon sprite for future use.
Game File Updates - Updated several item descriptions. The Server Changelog will be updated shortly after this post with the specific updates.
- Added sky/cloud effects to event maps and fireworks to Fortuna. As usual with the weather effect plugin heRO uses, to experience custom weather effects, you must have sounds enabled on the Sound Mode option via the sound options in setup.exe. This does not mean you will be forced to hear effects to see weather effects, as you may just mute by checking the boxes under BGM/Sound if you prefer.

Visual updates & File Changes
- Added extra special effects to the Dreamstone Core in Prisma Cave F2, and the Dreamstone Crystals in Prisma Cave F3. Sidenote Trivia, this makes Prisma Cave the first custom location in HeRO to utilize official's "newer" forms of adding special effects.
Skill Effects Updates - Ninja's Throw Kunai skill now properly shows the kunai being thrown.
- Added many new visual effects to skills which previously had none, or had similar ones and were not easy to tell apart.
Note 1: All skill behavior remains the same.
Note 2: No existing visual effects were removed as these are hard-coded, we only added additional ones. The only exception to this is Dark Cross, whose effect was somehow removed and only shows the new one.
Note 3: On skills that do not inflict damage, such as Magic Mirror and Hallucination, (except Wide Status ones), it is currently impossible to show an effect, therefore the visual effect was added to the monster's cast time. This means that if the monster has no cast time for the skill, no effect will be shown.
Skills with new visual effects are the following:
Basic Damage Monster Skills
- Piercing Attack
- Dark Breath (The Red "9999" Skill, now turns the character red for a very brief period as an additional indicator of the skill's usage)
- Stand Off Attack (Used mainly by merman)
- Random Attribute Change (Used by nine tails & jokers)
- Splash Attack (Used by... almost everything, but most notably, luciola vespa)
- Random Property Attack (Used by Mane & Pale Vulpine)
- Dark Cross
- Undead Property Attack
- Bleeding Attack
- Hell Power
Area Skills
- Breath Skills (Fire, Ice Breath, Thunder Breath, Acid Breath)
- Darkness Breath (Different from the red 9999 skill "Dark Breath")
- Wide Status Skills (Wide Silence, Freeze, Petrify, Confusion, Sleep, Sight, Curse, Stun, Hell Dignity)
- Vampire Gift
- Wide Soul Drain
Non-Damaging Skills
- NPC Provocation (Reduces VIT Defense)
- Dark Blessing (Coma)
- Lick (Used by Comodo, and Nightmarish Verit)
- Hallucination
- Metamorphosis
- Stone Skin
- Anti Magic
- Magic Mirror
- Expulsion
- Summon Monster (Used by Amon Ra, different skill from Summon Followers)
- Power Up
- NPC Agi Up
- Barrier
- Full Heal (Used by Lost Dragon & Amdusias)
Player Skills
- Psychic Wave (Was previously visible when GMs used it, but not when monsters did)
- Earth Grave (Same as above)
- Cloud Kill (Same as above, but due to technical difficulties, it shows a different animation)
- Fire Expansion (Only used by Surtur to create an area acid demonstration. Due to technical limitations it will always show an explosion, even if it does not inflict damage)
Unused Skills as of this post that had visual effects added
- Needle of Paralysis
- Poison Mist
- Eraser Cutter
- Xeno Slasher
- Stahl Horn
- Golden Ferse
- Helige Stange
- Angriffs Modus
- Magma Flow
- Magma Eruption
- Sonic Claw
- Silvervein Rush
- Midnight Frenzy
Please keep in mind that on offensive non-ground targeted attacks like fire breath, the animation is shown for every target hit, meaning that with high amounts of targets, lag may be felt in the form of momentary drops in FPS. If many players experience this and it becomes a hindrance to the gameplay, please send a support ticket so we may investigate and change these visual effects if necessary.
