Title: Roots Of Herblore Go Deep / Quality Tag Overhaul


Sami Maaranen - June 3, 2012 04:57 PM (GMT)
As working on HERBLORE-skill it appears that item naming routines need to be overhauled to allow smooth usage of 'unknown' and 'known' descriptions. So I gotta dig deep into the code, but now that I'm on it I though of renewing item quality tags as well. There will be quality tags and descriptions for all the items; no more stacking issues caused by hidden quality variables.

So HERBLORE is indeed going to be a major addition. Few minor dev.news from the past days;

- bug revealed: eating something with more than 36 characters long name (e.g. Pot of Tellervo's gift mushroom soup) causes a crash on Linux.

Buffer overflow - the future overhaul of item description and quality tags fixes this automatically. Until then, avoid food with long names.


- fixed: Warfare-task not completing if pets or companions were present.

Until the fix takes place (in next release) there is more challenge to raid a Njerpez camp to complete Warfare-task as you need to do it all by yourself.


- Savegames checked for Keltslash, Dark Art and Pthalo. Your e-mails have been responed.

Awesome, keep up the good work. I'm really excited about what herblore will bring to the game.
