You’ve Got Mail

There are a few changes to the Your Mail UI:

The total number of messages in your inbox, maximum number of messages, and the number of headers currently retrieved are now shown.
The total message count usually will not finish updating until the first group of headers is downloaded. There is a Get Next # to retrieve a next oldest batch of headers.
There is a slider to control the number of headers to receive at once (10 to 300). The slider saves its position in your options file. It can take a little while to get 300 messages if they have long subjects. This also sets how many headers to get when you first open the mail UI, so you can set it to retrieve all your messages at once every time, or to only get a few of the most recent ones (which is much faster), and hit the button when you want to check older messages.

PvP Flagging Changes

Players no longer lose their PvP flag on death. It will still time out as normal after death, and is removed by /release and reconstruct.
Using abilities such as Revive RSI on a flagged dead player will flag you if the dead player accepts.
Dead players' nametags (with org and flag shown, if they are flagged) will now be displayed when they are targeted.

Changes and Improvements

Players can attach up to twelve items (or stacks) to an email. Multiple items cannot be attached to emails composed in the loading area.
Executing instant abilities while in the wrong style will now change styles and invoke the ability. This also fixes the problem with NPCs where sometimes their instant and delayed abilities wouldn't go off, which is especially noticeable in Nuker-types.
Level 100 Agents who spawn on Zion and EPN players outside of Slums are now Machine-aligned. They will not attack Machinists or Cypherites and cannot be attacked by them.
Sending a tell to another player while AFK will no longer send that player an AFK message.
The Interlock Accuracy Bonus has been removed from some non-interlock moves (it does not do anything outside interlock anyway.)
Disable Security Devices, Bull Dog, and Find Data Node now have memory costs of 1.

Bug Fixes

The map now shows up in the One Zero archive construct.
Recall abilities now work in constructs.
The large programs spawned by the intruder will no longer be invisible in certain indoor locations.
Light prop "glare" FX will no longer draw through solid models.

WIN!!!

I'm genuinely impressed by this patch, very good job...let's hope most of it works as intended!!!!

**Procurator**

Holy-...

This patch achieves unprecedented levels of win. By god... Datamine, the fixes, the improvements... Multiple e-mail attachments? All e-mails viewable? NPC bugs solved?

( I'm still annoyed we have to use an Archivist to get to Datamine, though. :P)

What is "light prop 'glare'"?

Edit: And what is /release?
Edit2: No crit or cinematic til Monday? Pffshh.

**SolidRevolver** · 02/21/2008 15:20:22

This patch is pure awesome! What a time for my ISP to get itself sorted SMILEY<img src= " width="15" height="15" />

Even if they didn't bother with Datamine till the next update, the email revision would have been enough to make this awesome sauce! SMILEY<img src= " width="15" height="15" />

EDIT: 100 Agents still around, lord forbid they hinder anyone elses farming session >_<

The underpowered spies needed this for sure
Disable Security Devices, Bull Dog, and Find Data Node now have memory costs of 1.

Oh and woot no more *CENSORED* karate I hope:
Executing instant abilities while in the wrong style will now change styles and invoke the ability.

**LoTekGhost**

After a quick thought, I may just empty my super-rares out of my inbox before this patch...with all the drastic changes in one lump I don't wanna see them accidentally go *poof* because of something gone wrong in the patch application.

Still, I'm totally stunned by the Win included in this patch, pure hawtness!

**Gerik**

Thanks for getting the Patch Notes up for us, Virrago! SMILEY

Patch has nothing in it that I don't like (minus that spy crap with memory cost).

You may have a point there!! But if all failed I'm sure they would just end up doing a re-roll due to the fact that not everyoene will empty their email before hand

"Datamine" Construct Is In

Nice.

The total number of messages in your inbox, maximum number of messages, and the number of headers currently retrieved are now shown.

Yes! Thank you!

Players can attach up to twelve items (or stacks) to an email.

Wow! Item storage problems are now resolved.

Excelent.

Level 100 Agents who spawn on Zion and EPN players outside of Slums are now Machine-aligned. They will not attack Machinists or Cypherites and cannot be attacked by them.

Thank you!

Sending a tell to another player while AFK will no longer send that player an AFK message.

Nifty.
