• Scalis should now correctly revenge any range target rather than only archers.
• There is a new UI for ship security. It can be accessed by both the Tillerman and by choosing a context menu item on another player while you are aboard your ship.
The following security levels apply:
N/A: This setting does not grant or deny privileges aboard the ship
DENY ACCESS: revokes all privileges aboard the ship, overriding all other permissions
PASSENGER: allows boarding the ship using the mooring lines or by recall/gate travel
CREW: allows operation of the ship's weapons and piloting the ship
OFFICER: allows access to the cargo hold, and installation or dismantling of weaponry.
CAPTAIN: grants all privileges, including dry docking and changing security settings.
You may grant or deny access to your ship to the public, to members of your party, to members of your guild, and to specific characters. Multiple security settings may apply to specific characters. In these cases, if any matching setting is "Deny Access" then that character is not allowed any access to the ship. Otherwise, that character receives the highest applicable level of access. For example, if you allow members of your guild Passenger access and members of your party Crew access, then a member of your guild who is also in your party will be considered Crew.
If you set Public to DENY ACCESS then ONLY the OWNER may access the ship. This setting even denies access to those in the access list who are given CAPTAIN access.
The maximum setting allowed for any group is OFFICER. Only those in the explicit access list can be set to CAPTAIN.
Setting the group security levels, and viewing/editing the Access List, are done via the Tillerman. Adding someone to the Access List is done via their context menu. Both entry paths open the same UI, just starting at different pages.
For classic ships, if you have a key then you are considered OWNER. Otherwise, you are considered PASSENGER. When ships are severely damaged, it becomes impossible to deny access. The effective minimum security level becomes PASSENGER when in Trammel ruleset areas and OFFICER when in Felucca ruleset areas (e.g. in a PvP battle the victor can come aboard and raid your cargo hold and steal your cannons). The DENY ACCESS setting no longer applies in any case (even explicit individual bans) when the ship is immobilized!
Rowboats copy their security settings from the ship owned by the placer of the rowboat, but only when the rowboat is placed on the same subserver as that ship. Otherwise, they get default security settings.
When a ship is drydocked and placed back, it will retain its security settings, but will change ownershp to the person who last placed the ship. Anyone who holds a drydocked ship can place the ship and put it in the water, regardless of security settings (i.e. security settings do not apply at all to drydocked ships!)
• Ship parking Control rules are as follows, if your boat is at the dock for 20 minutes your boat will automatically be teleported past the bouys that are now placed on the outer edge of the Sea Market region. Your boat will not teleport if a players is aboard, standing on your boat for one minute will refresh the timer.
• Fixed issues with boats and houses not appearing

That's a start what about the stacking of fishes?
We're working tomorrow. I'm supposed to bring breakfast. Is the bug about the direction of the fish when stacked?

All similar fish SHOULD stack right now,

Anyone notice female npc tillerwomen tell stories about guys? Thought that was cute.

Mesanna, Cal -- you got to let us place Rowboats ANYWHERE. How are we supposed to keep dock clear if we have to dock our big ships, and can't deploy Rowboats at sea? Not being able to place Rowboats at sea is ridiculous, that's pretty much the whole purpose of a Rowboat :XXXXXXXXXX :fight:
On it. :)

Fish are stacking for me now thanks.

And I'm in windows 7 Windows Home Premium 64 bit, with a pentium i5, 750 with 2.65GHz processor.

6GB ram
Radeon HD 5400 series vid card.
*pulls out hair and grumbles* ... I can't raise two families at the same time!! :)
And with that I am done for the day.

On other topics: we are still continuing to work on the graphics bits with Smooth Boat movement. We've made great strides even getting it into the game, where no other teams would even touch it.

We are having engineering look at reducing the stuttering. There was a fix that was in testing ... but we had to pull it because it caused OTHER problems. So it goes in development.

There are more things we fixed this weekend, and we'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Please enjoy your weekend!
