New development system

At long last the new development system I've been working on is finally ready and has been put into use, Hurray!

I will spare you the boring technical details. In summary, the new system:
  • allows developers to work with less hassle and obstacles in their way, speeding up development
  • enables content to be released more quickly after it's implemented and more frequently
  • makes it trivial for developers to run public test servers with up-to-date database snapshots from the live server
  • is a big step towards making it possible for @Raj to release updates autonomously
This will be the first update deployed with the new system, so cross your fingers and knock on your wooden desk.

Travelling salesman events

Every now and then the travelling salesman will grace us with his presence. These donator sales will keep happening at random intervals and will be announced in the same way as every other upcoming event (i.e. through the homepage, ::events and in-game announcements). They will not always be announced with news posts since they happen automatically.

To start off with there are two sale events, but more will be added down the road:
  • The AFK chair sale, an account perk which lets you set your AFK chair color to red, blue, the default white, or the one you have in your POH. The perk costs 25k credits (event lasts 2 weeks by default)
  • The Shattered Cannon Ornament Kit sale, which converts all 4 cannon pieces with just 1 kit and costs 7,500 credits. (event lasts 1 week by default)
Both events will run in parallel for a little over 2 weeks, from Friday March 7th up to and including Sunday March 23rd.

Other improvements
Credit to @Raj for:
  • Added donator sale events for customizable AFK chairs and the Shattered Cannon ornament kit.
  • A keybindings option has been added to remap number keys to function keys.
  • Added the Book of Darkness and Ancient Robes to the list of Zaros items for GWD protection.
  • The Nylocas boss will now drop the Nylocas pet at a 1/500 rate.
  • Beer barrels in POH's will fill all the beer glasses in a player's inventory at once.
  • Dragon arrowtips have been added to Brimstone chests with the same drop rates and quantities as dragon darts.
  • The expeditious enhancement percentage chance per perk tier has been increased from 2% to 8%. See viewtopic.php?f=134&t=86033.
  • The Ring of Suffering and its imbued variant will now return the rings of recoil when uncharged. Some text was improved for clarity. Players should free to report text issues when charging/uncharging various charged items.
  • The multi-logging restriction has been removed from the Nightmare.
  • The LMS minimum player requirement has been reduced to 2.
Credit to @Mike for:
  • Admin+ can now restore players' HCIM status with a command.
  • Prevented COX killcounts from counting as doubled when claiming COX capes.
  • HCIM crowns are now updated immediately on death.
  • The LMS lobby is now a safe area when dying.
  • Picking up Dawnbringer should no longer cause the "no banking" TOB achievement to fail.
  • Attempted a fix for removing guardians in POHs.
  • The Black Kiteshield (t) has been added to easy clue rewards.

Looking forward to this next era of PkHonor. Hopefully Raj can take on a lead developer role and bring along some up and comers. I think we really need to solicit help from anyone we can once things get rolling.

Thank you Rapsey, Raj, and Mike!

One thing that a lot of players noticed from todays update. All of the ::settings were reset to default for everyone. (i.e., modern items, hitsplats, health bar, fight cave npcs, rooftops, erase password on logout, etc.) Not sure if this will happen every time we get a new cache or what.
