Title: Alpha 21 06/24/05

Three major systems have been installed.
Persistent re-spawning traps
Deities
Subraces

None of these are complete at the moment.  I'll have all the in-game traps changed over next week and you can expect a lot of traps going forward.  

No deities have actually been installed yet other than one we used for testing purposes.  I'll update this post and the information post once we start installing the deities.  Next major update at the earliest.

Three subraces are currently available: Kender, Drow, and Mindflayer.  I'll post information on each subrace in the information thread here. (http://www.chaoticabyss.com/viewtopic.php?p=804#804)

Deities and subraces are done through a set of custom 2da files and skins applied to the player, so no client side modifications are needed.  This is a far better solution than a script only system and hopefully will also let us add feats and special abilities to the subraces that are otherwise impossible, like dark vision for the drow.  Also, special abilities like darkness are only available through inventory items at the moment.  As we learn more about editing 2da files I hope to change this.

We have one more major system to install which will handle factions and reputations.  We might get this in for the next update at which point the module is going Beta.  During beta the focus will be on fleshing out the world, adding details and quests galore.  Updates to the major systems such as adding subraces and deities will also take place as time allows.
