Default 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.

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

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

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...

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).

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.
