• Server maintenance build.

Update -- September 25, 2024

• Fixed a bug where the network error code was printed incorrectly for a certain set of errors.

NOTES: The number "4294967" is the first seven digits of a small negative integer printed as an unsigned integer. Most importantly, the last three digits were not printed, and so this error number represented a potentially large range of errors. Error 4294967 was most often associated with trying to apply The Eye of the North expansion to an account that didn't have any of the main campaigns. Going forward the negative number will be printed. I can't tell for sure, but the EOTN error is probably -152.

Update -- September 17, 2024

• Fixed a bug where the "rolloff" distance for sounds was very large. In some cases this resulted in waterfalls or fireplaces being heard throughout a map. Now the sound is much more localized.

NOTE: sound volume is relative to the camera position not the player position.
