WHY WON'T THE ::EVENT WORK FOR MY DONOR CHARACTER!

[Nolan]

Still got a few draws today staking.

Duels that end with both players dying, but one player dying somewhat faster than the other, may no longer end in a draw but declare the last one to die as the winner (if you both die at exactly the same time, it's still a draw)

I owe the community an apology - for the past week or so, people were complaining about the following, but I always assumed they were just ranting about the imperfect following code that makes your character take a bit of a detour sometimes (rather than always taking the shortest path) and I didn't really pay any attention to it. What I didn't realize is that I actually introduced a bug in player following since the 23 August update, making it really hard for players to properly PK (unless you're both standing still or fighting in melee).

Similar with the slayer helmet, I was pretty sure it worked fine, I had looked over the code like 10x but kept missing something obvious which I've now finally managed to find and fix.

That being said, todays updates are:
> Fixed the ::event command to teleport to corporeal beast
> Fixed the slayer helmet which wasn't working at all since the 23 August update
> Fixed following other players which became bugged since the 23 August update
> You can now use the command ::update to see what the next update is about (only works when the server is counting down to the next restart)

[Brant]

best update was probably the barrelchest one, task wont task for ages now

[Mike]

Since the baby corp beast droprates may have been a bit too low (even with the x3 drops with the evet), I've hereby upped the rate. Also did a few minor changes/bugfixes (see updated original post)
