Loto's Character Workshop 1.101.10

Sat, 27 Mar 2010 04:39:00 -0400

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).

Loto's Character Workshop 1.101.0 Updated Druid and Warlock spell lines to match DAoC 1.101 Fixed a bug that was causing 5th slot values to not populate when importing a Kort's XML template. Adjusted the font size on the paper doll that displays the current piece of gear being worked on.

Loto's Character Workshop 1.100.1

I've enlarged the paper doll to allow for easier navigation.

Woot! New HTPC

Sun, 27 Dec 2009 20:06:00 -0400

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 :)

Loto's Character Workshop 1.100 Goes Live!

Thu, 17 Dec 2009 01:05:00 -0400

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!

New Mythirians and the Character Workshop

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 16:21:00 -0400

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

DAoC - New Patch Notes! 1.100 on the Herald!

Thu, 03 Dec 2009 14:26:00 -0400

Mythic sure has a strange versioning system 1.99 to 1.100, well alrighty then. I suppose since they said there wouldn't be a Dark Age of Camelot 2 that it will always be "1.x" /shrug I see some exciting changes in the works as well as some new spells so look for the Workshop to be updated as soon as DAoC 1.100 goes live. http://www.camelotherald.com/patches.php

DAoC Quick Portals

Sun, 14 Jun 2009 02:00:00 -0400

In a hurry because the Alb Zerg has a dirty things in mind for your corpse? Tired of typing /say Nurizane's Crossroads? or /macro agr /say agramon's lair? I was, that's why I've developed QuickPortals. A simple tool to auto-load your quick bars with macros for all locations within the Labyrinth. Check it out over in the downloads section. It only takes a second to configure. The most difficult part will be selecting your DAoC character configuration file location. If you're running Vista it's probably located here: C:Users\AppData\Roaming\Electronic Arts\Dark Age of Camelot\LotM Enjoy!
