Blight Client 394.42.0 / 396.26.0

A new client version has been patched to Blight. This includes some major updates related to performance and loading, but please be aware that this patch does not include content changes.

Optimizations:

• Improve performance of animation system when switching between standard animations (walk, run, step, etc.)
• Speed up the equip items code
• Cleanup character loading / visibility so that total number of visible characters so that maxFullCharacters / maxPartialCharacters values are respected (in ClientPrefs_Graphic.def). The video tab Graphics Detail slider controls this. To improve performance, lower slider if going to be around lots of non-monster characters.
• Speed up character loading
• Improve loading speed for entities
• Review formula fields and remove those not in use / needed

Fixes:

• Some issues with the new emote changes have been resolved, such as missing sounds or emotes that won’t play.
• Some longbows don’t show color of applied weapon dye kit
• Plot: Stone Flooring Obsdian 30x30 has bad orientation
• DPS on keys keep repeating when stacks combined #5675
• Frozen and Storm wisps no longer used tiled versions of Blight textures and use ones specialized for themselves.
• Teleport pad activation changed so that it is distance based instead of standing on the object.
• Saris females can now use the kick emote properly. Dragon adults will also now have a sound attached to /nod.
• Re-converted various snowy tree textures to DDS textures to be less pixelated at a distance.
• If a second key binding is a toggle button, then when pressing the first (or second binding), make sure the first / second is also set to the same toggle
• Update camera position behind character / autoflip to first person / third person
• Re-price consignment item initially shows zero

Feature:

• Added winter files for winter season
