Patch notes
Greetings everyone!
Today's patch contains some changes that we are sure everyone will
enjoy
- Canned emotes (e.g. /point) now work on NPCs. In addition, the range for canned emotes has been increased.
- /who all "guildname" should now work for players who have /roleplay turned on.
- Preferences for the mouselook will be saved in your options file. Those who turn mouselook off each time when starting EQ will only have to do it once more.
- The "Chat Filter" tab in "Options" now has an option to filter messages caused by damage shields hitting others.
Fast Drop
Our most exciting change today is an option that allows players to avoid accidentally dropping items on the ground. The new client allows players to set "Item Dropping" preferences on the "General" options
tab. The three options that can be set are
- FAST DROP: Items are dropped without confirmation.
- CONFIRM: A confirmation box will be displayed whenever you try to drop an item.
- NEVER: You are not allowed to drop items on the ground.
Alternatively, you can also set these options using the /fastdrop
command. The arguments are
- ON: Same as option "Fast Drop" on the General Tab.
- OFF: Same as option "Confirm" on the General Tab.
- NEVER: Same as above.
Please note that whatever your setting, coin will always be dropped without confirmation. Additionally, the FastDrop option only applies to items being dropped upon the ground. Handing items to NPCs will still work regardless of your FastDrop setting.
It is highly recommended that you use option "CONFIRM", as GMs will not reimburse any items that are accidentally dropped.
