Special Thanks to Seren for the detailed reports that facilitated these updates!

- Procs and Effects - Arcane Siphon is located under PvE Bonus Heal Group has been added to the Effect lists (Reactive, Charged, Offensive)

Replenish Power (Group) has been added to the Effect lists (Reactive, Charged, Offensive)

Self Melee and Magic Health Buffer has been added to the Effect lists (Reactive, Charged, Offensive) Replenish Power Over Time has been added to the Effect lists (Reactive, Charged, Offensive)

- Craft Bar Tool - Setup Craft Bar window will now only load spellcrafters in the drop box.

- Stats and Calculations - Duplicate stats where one stat resides in a 5th slot will now calculate correctly. For example if you have a pair of leggings with +15 Con imbued and their 5th slot bonus is also +15 Con, you will now see a total of 30 Con on the leggings.

Fixed a bug that prevented the Mythirian bonuses from showing up in some areas.

- Imports - Fixed the Kort's Import routine to only load those items that are marked as equipped. For example, if you have a Kort's template that has 3 rings on the Right Right slot and the 2nd one is marked as equipped, the Workshop will now correctly load ring #2 instead of the last ring (#3).

I said I would post pictures of DAoC running on the HTPC up on the 58" plasma. Sooo here they are!

2.20.2010

Lotos' Character Workshop 1.100.1

The Workshop has been updated with the following:

Support for Ywain for loading of crafting bars!

Fixed the bard regrowth spec line

Removed utility display as it is an arbitrary value and not an exact science ;)

Long time users will notice the interface has changed slightly. It's bigger! I've enlarged the paper doll to allow for easier navigation.

Today was...invigorating... to say the least at my day job. We maintain a rather large code base for a client of ours that contained some older code in its deepest darkest nether-regions that allowed for some SQL injection to take place. Although I know I was likely fighting against some junk ass bot, it felt like my opponent was flesh and blood.

Here's how it went down:

BOT: Injects silly script tag

or...
ME: finds no trace in CF error logs and sets up a kill script in SQL to remove junk, continues to look for the entry point.
BOT: Injects more crap. This time changing the script's contents.
ME: creates a trigger on the targeted table to remove on update/insert - suck a fat one. continues to look for entry point.
BOT: ...
BOT: ...
BOT: ...
BOT: modifies script tags just enough to bypass trigger checks.
ME: hm, how clever you piece of junk.
ME: locks down the site's datasource to read only and proceeds to setup read and read/write dsns, some regex find and replace goodness and...once again...suck it!

I do enjoy a good duel from time to time, but not when I've got shit to do. So, whoever you are "portal.acras.in" nice try, but not good enough. DIAF KKTHXBYE.

There was a problem during the upgrade of the site software that was causing the pages (Downloads, About, etc...) not to display. This has been corrected.

More, and clearer pictures to come, along with details on hardware and such :)

and it plays DAoC @ 1600x1200 with all the settings cranked up, no lag. but its real purpose is blu-ray decoding :)

The Workshop has been updated to include the spell line changes for DAoC 1.100. In case you missed the patch notes on the herald, here's what changed.

A new Disease spell has been added to the Ice Magic Specialization Line for Wizards.

• Level 17 – Mitigating Cold – 3s cast / 1.5 minute duration – 1500 range / 250 radius – 7.5% Strength Debuff / 15% Movement Speed Debuff – 11 power
• Level 25 – Subduing Cold – 3s cast / 2 minute duration – 1500 range / 300 radius – 7.5% Strength Debuff / 15% Movement Speed Debuff – 16 power
• Level 35 – Inhibiting Cold – 3s cast / 2.5 minute duration – 1500 range / 350 radius – 7.5% Strength Debuff / 15% Movement Speed Debuff – 22 power
• Level 45 – Debilitating Cold – 3s cast / 3 minute duration – 1500 range / 400 radius – 7.5% Strength Debuff / 15% Movement Speed Debuff – 29 power

Also supported are the new Dragon Mythirians. Actually this is nothing new, as the mythirian slot has been capable of handling 12 slots for a few years now. I must have foreseen this ;)

Seriously though, I'm sure the stats may change, if so you can bet there will be an update!

A note about the Workshop and Vista and Auto-Updates ... and you!

IF you are running Windows Vista or 7 you may notice that when the workshop updates, nothing seems to happen. Before you go deleting or uninstalling things (we don't want you doing anything crazy now) You will need to start the workshop as an administrator. To do this, in case you don't already know, right click on the program icon and select "Run as Administrator" this will allow the workshop to patch and start up properly.

Enjoy!

Just a quick note to the user-base. The workshop is still actively being updated, every version update to DAoC. I haven't quit the game or my users! There are code updates being made for Loto's Character Workshop which will support the new Dragon Mythirians in DAoC 1.100.

In keeping with paralleling Mythic's version numbering, the next release of Loto's Character Workshop will be 1.100. If you are a current user, the workshop will update itself a-la auto patcher so there's nothing you need to do (other than restart the workshop) If you're a newcomer just head on over to the download section and grab the installer. As Dark Age of Camelot changes, so shall the Workshop! Got a question, suggestion, bug report? email it or better yet, look me up in-game Loto-Ywain1
