- The Asheron's Call Server Emulator is a complete alternate server for
- Asheron's Call. It has very minimal features at the moment, however it is
- advancing quickly. The team members right now are Akilla and Cibo Matto, the creator of Decal, however
- I am looking for people to work on packet decoding.<p>
- <i><font SIZE="2">
- History Note: This emulator is not <a href="http://sentou.acdev.org" target=_blank>Sentou's emulator</a>, it is a seperate emulator that
- I was working on before the original team broke up. Sentou later picked up
- the code that I was working on and slightly changed it into his current
- emulator. He is beginning to rewrite it to not use my old source. I neither
- blame nor fault him for using the source, as far as he knew we had abandoned it.
- I am now back and continuing development. The original team consisted of
- KewtSquirrel, Baynah/Narc, and I. I left for 3 months and that's when the
- team diverged. We do not plan on merging the two emulators, please do not ask.

- Due to numerous requests on IRC tonight (6am right now *grinz*), I updated to january patch compatibility.<P>
- The latest betas, as always, are at <A HREF=http://home.earthlink.net/~killaw/ACServer>http://home.earthlink.net/~killaw/ACServer</A>.<P>
- Ignore the JPGs, I'm showing off my drain macro *grins again*. Get the RAR files with _Jan at the end. I only tested them VERY briefly,
- and I'm not 100% positive yet that everything's working with January yet. I'll test it more thoroughly tomorrow night, probably coupled
- with a large demo session in #ace, including working on the buffer bug and some other things... I think I've nailed down where the buffer
- bug is occurring, now all I have to do is figure out why.. =]<P>
- So give those a go, and please email me with your experiences.<P>
- Second part... Lunac has been kind enough to write me what I think is a cool looking new page. Soon as he finishes it we'll point
- www.acserver.org at it, but right now it's at <A HREF="http://acs.acdome.com">acs.acdome.com</A>. Throw comments on the new layout
- at my email box please.<P>
- Enjoy! And if anyone wonders why I haven't updated the master downloads yet, it's because until I fix this god damned buffer bug,
- I'm not going to replace the stable build with this one, because well, it isn't as stable as the 'stable' build yet... Heh...<P>
- That's basically priority number one on the server right now. If anyone's wondering why it's so far between updates right now, I'm
- working on a number of other projects. My drain macro, a new acstats.com replacement that also does monarchy/xp chain management, and
- some private projects as well. That isn't including game playing time. :-) So that's why. I devote a few days to each project at
- a time. I'll get around to everything eventually... Tonight is probably devoted to ACS.<P>
- Oh, and enjoy your new textured toon. It's the beginning of the clothing system. I now have a basic texture/model/palette swap
- system in and I give it a textured toon for the base swappage. Expect full clothing/armor in a release that rhymes with noon.

- Okay, I added a full XP system in. i.e. you can give yourself XP and then raise skills and stats with it. I also added a
- !setstatinc command so you can give yourself 100000 run and jump and go flying everywhere. Buncha other neat stuff added now.<P>
- The known bugs are as follows. 1. There's still some kind of buffer bug in there. I thought I got rid of it, and in any event it's
- a lot better than earlier betas, but it's still there. 2. There may be an obscure crash bug on disconnection. If you can reproduce
- it, please tell me via email or the boards. Thanks!<P>
- Any other minor or major bugs please post on the boards or email me about. Make sure you delete your old .dat files before using
- the newest betas. Enjoy!

- Okay, as a nice xmas gift, I'll post a link to the latest beta and some other stuff going on behind
- the scenes here. First off, you can grab the latest betas here: <A HREF=http://home.earthlink.net/~killaw/ACServer>http://home.earthlink.net/~killaw/ACServer</A>.<P>
- This works with the DECEMBER CLIENT. However, I would make a COPY of your current asheron's call
- directory, and then use the logon client with that.<P>
- Latest betas work with the directory server hosted kindly by Jubilee at <A HREF=http://www.forotech.com/scripts/dirserv.exe>http://www.forotech.com/scripts/dirserv.exe</A>.
- To have the connect link on the directory server page work, first run the login client once then exit, so that it can set up the integration
- in your registry. Then close IE and reopen IE, and the directory server links should work properly.<P>
- Enjoy! There are numerous bugs with this version. Most notable is there is a buffer problem, where if the server is sending too much data
- to the client, the client messes up and ignores all future packets from the server. This is the next major problem we're addressing.<P>
- Other than that, it is mostly fully functional. !givexp is working. I believe PvP combat is buggy, however. The worldstore is fixed,
- and character creation should be working as normal. Bug reports will only be accepted for the december server, not for the old release.
- I'd like to pretend that one doesn't exist. :-)
