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:
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.
