Patch Changelog

[GM-Ciar]

• Added special effects around the current Springtime Prontera's town square area.

[GM-Ciar]

• Visual Updates
  
• Added new visual effects for Adoramus, Arrow Storm and Crimson Rock, from one of the recent official updates. As for other skills, the updates are unfortunately not supported by our current client, therefore only the above 3 skills could be updated appropriately.
  
• Updated the previously purple & blue Faeheim bushes to be a more autumn red and mint color respectively, in order to better blend with the environment and to be more aesthetically pleasing to the eyes.
  
• Updated Faeheim's Iridiawood trees (the rainbow weeping willow-esque ones) to have two-sided textures and look fuller.
  
• Optimized the polygon count of one of Tessera's large white flowers.
  
• Replaced the large tree in Carandel's southwest "Town Square"-ish area with a rainbow eucalyptus tree (as was originally intended long ago). This is a completely new model that will be seen more in future expansions to Faeheim. Thanks again to the player who helped with all the 3d modeling for this update as well as the original Faeheim release (you know who you are)!
  
  File Updates & Changes
  
• Gold Scaraba Card is now named "Fighter Scaraba Card", referring to Antler and Rake Scarabas. This card was originally released in anticipation for a "Nightmare" version of the dungeon, but it was never implemented. Instead, it recently became obtainable in the second floor of the dungeon.
  
• Left some card images ready to add, so their release doesn't happen half a year after the contest ends, like with the last 2 contests.
  
• Fixed Hat of Girl's (recently auctioned item) description.
  
• Fixed Burning Bug Shell's (Muspelheim Misc. Loot) description.
  
• Fixed some V4P Headgears names which were incorrectly called "Costume" (Costume Ifrit's Breath, etc).
  
• Wonder Nutshell now correctly has the word "Costume" in its name.
  

[GM-Ciar]

• Visual File Updates
  
• Some Brasilis and Malaya Trees have been slightly updated to no longer have a slight pink outline in their textures.
  
  Other Changes
  
• Some of the very last card contest entries should now have proper ingame descriptions, images etc,.
  
• Updated headgear descriptions for a future minor Hatter Update.
  
• Added 3 new loading screens from the creativity contest.
  
• Added special card icons for MVP cards to help distinguish between the two. These will now show a gold version of the regular card image. Miniboss card images remain the same.
  
• Nekoring Card, Lava Golem Card and other similar cards now have a note referring the player to the HeRO wiki for a list of mobs the cards affect.
  

[GM-Ciar]

• Gertie Card now properly states it goes on headgear instead of garment.
  
• Owl Baron Card now indicates it casts Lex Aeterna when dealing damage, NOT when receiving damage.

• Modernized the basic prontera tree to not look like a pixel mess from 2001. The same goes for the Prontera Guild Dun F2 trees. See the image below for a "before and after" comparison. This will affect any maps that use this tree, such as Poring Island near Payon, Lighthalzen Field, etc.
  
  
  
  
  Other File Updates
  
• Added new official cutins.
  
• Added new monster sprites, mostly for event use.
  

[GM-Ciar]

• Map Updates
  
• Customized the 2 Nightmarish Pyramid maps so they're visually different from their normal counterpart and fit with the story behind the area. Water puddle updates on F2 may not be usable with water ball until the next server maintenance.
  
• The PVP Lutia Arena has been updated to reflect the current map.
  
• Updated an official map to make it playable for a future release. Somehow Gravity allowed it to use many high-poly models close together, which caused nearly unplayable FPS drops and crashing if someone dared to change camera angle (even with high end PCs).
  
  Purchase Stores/Buy Stalls
  
• Faeheim & Lutia misc. items such as Lutian Crystal, Kaldian Bream and Final Rest can now be added to Purchase Stores.
  
• Seafoam, Orichalcum, Orichalcum Ore, Sparks of Muspelheim and Fishing items such as Bass, Salmon, etc can now be added to Purchase Stores.
  
  Note: If you encounter any of these items to still not be buy-able, please send a support ticket.

  File Addition/Changes

  As usual, if you encounter any issues, such as crashing, please send a support ticket.

  Visual Updates
  
• The only animation that (barely) differentiates Darkness Jupitel skill from its wizard counterpart now uses a slightly different effect image to further help tell apart the two. Sidenote: I hate when some skills' visual effects are hardcoded the way Darkness Jupitel and Dark Grand Cross are.
  
• Added image files for possible use as map visual effects in the future.
  
• Added Pandaring Hat in preparation to release it in October.
  
• The God Item Mjolnir now has a unique weapon sprite, courtesy of KRO Zero. If you notice any class wearing it on the wrong hand or any other bug related to the sprite, please report it by sending a support ticket.
