Fix to database system referencing player name variables. This fix is already in Live 1.30 but will break compatibility between player-specific data between SoU 1.30 and 1.31. We apologize for any inconvienience.

[/QUOTE]I believe it means if I saved your characters on my server and they had intergers and flags or maybe items, these would be reset, or not work.


???


I downloaded it the MINUTE it was up I think, because I reset the server, then reloaded it, and bam, it says 'there is an update'. So I did the update, ran the server, and we had like 16 people join the Ironworks Mod in like 15 mins!! I mean it was packed! We've had 16 at once before--19-20 too, but it was SO fast! lol. I guess I was the only server at that minute that had the update.

The Ironworks 'Escape from Undermountain' Mod IS updated to 1.31, and the new 'goto DM' feature is VERY nice. (easier)

Customized? Do you mean hak paks and such?

[Granamere]

Most of the time when a new patch comes out it breaks the hakpak's that are out there. So if there is a hakpak you can not live with out do not upgrade until the person who made the hakpak has came out with the new version of it.

I am not the end all be all authority of hakpak's!!!

Granamere
I have been wrong more then once. Heck more than 100 times.

[Attalus]

Well, it seemed to have fixed mine. . Hakpak, that is.
