5.8 Released!
 
5.8 has been released! You can download the source or the compiled windows versions here:

https://sourceforge.net/project/show...group_id=88515

The only thing that I know of that doesnt work is AA's, I have been working on them but I wont have time to finish them until this weekend, so instead of holding up the release until then we decided to go ahead and release this version. Thanks to FatherNitwit and Wiz, I believe this is one of the best releases we have ever released. 5.9 should follow within the next couple of weeks with fixed AA's as well as some other goodies.

** EDIT **
New Map Files for every zone can be found at <a href='Http://www.rogean.com/maps/'>Http://www.rogean.com/maps/</a>

Is the map converter a binary somewhere? I didn't see a workspace file anywhere to compile it.

postedit edit: I suck, just needed to read the readme =P Cool, gonna see if I can get it working through cygwin. Only linux box I got up at moment is firewall.

Scorpx725 09-13-2004 07:37 AM

Nice job, guys.

daeken_bb 09-13-2004 07:50 AM

Nice work guys.

It's been pretty much decided that EQEmu 5.8 will be the release that OpenEQ will target for compatibility. This means we will be running exclusively on EQEmu 5.8 probably for quite a while... perhaps forever. (no real reason to move up when we can simply add new features we went) I haven't cleared it with the other OpenEQ devs, but I think it's the logical way to go.

Congratulations on the release :)

sotonin 09-13-2004 08:02 AM

bad ass. great work

govtcheeze 09-13-2004 08:07 AM

For 5.9, will this release also include a OoW / live fix, or will we need to keep using the current (as of now) patch? Trying to plan ahead...

RangerDown 09-13-2004 08:42 AM

Great job!! Can't wait to try it out at home.

Sakrateri 09-13-2004 08:44 PM

Very cool.

sotonin 09-14-2004 01:05 AM

Govt is working on a new loot update. then we'll be out with classic asap after the kinks are worked out of 5.8

govtcheeze 09-14-2004 02:14 AM

Uh, the current downsizing of my company has shifted my time away from a new update for loot...best not wait for me. Once I have time to complete it, I will release it as an add-on like my first releases (which will work for any database, running any expansions / zones from live).

Rogean 09-14-2004 03:21 PM

The new map converter only works on Linux at this time (Blame the linux devs! .. nah, i <3 them =) ). However, We will be putting all the maps up for download. Yes, this is a good 900 Megs, But you will have the option of either downloading one big 330 meg zip file, or only the individual maps that you need. I'll get the link up soon.
