Anyone else excited about the next patch?

Indeed. I just looked at the progress page and there's a LOT of good stuff there. #darkvision is always nice, for instance.

I'm quite eagerly anticipating #darkvision. Right now, my current mod is copystatting Agarthan Cave Captains to get darkvision.

I want to create a magic 'torch' item that can help counter the effects of darkness. Something that confers say, a darkvision 50 to all units in a small area around the item carrier. I have no idea if it will be possible with the new mod functions, but it might well be. It's a reasonable item that can help fight the otherwise utterly devastating effect of darkness upon some races.

[Sombre]

I doubt the new mod commands would allow that.

Well, there's always the Forbidden Light, it'll take care of Darkness on an army-wide scale. Better have good MR though, and something godly to wield it.

Darkvision on items would cool idea for another misc eye though, I think. Rip out yer eyeball and plug in the Eye of Night Vision, get 50% darkvision, but lose precision as normal for a missing eye.

Anybody else have trouble looking at the progress page?

Yeah, it's been down for some time.

True... progress page is down. Maybe Illwinter is secretly fixing some of the MAJOR bugs from the bug thread!

[Endoperez]

They'd just not update the progress page, then. It's more likely that they forgot to pay some server bill.

It's probably down due to them being off on the Christmas/New Year holidays and all (or some) of their stuff being switched off. The progress page would be down in that case due to where it resides.
