New Client Version 1.3 news

Client Version 1.3

We are very excited to announce the 1.3 release of the NuVera Online client. We've fixed up a lot of issues and added some pretty sweet new features!

Notable Changes

Public Areas
We've made some various adjustments to user public areas. For starters there is now a clear pool button under My Places that will move all NuVO Note currently in your NN pool back to your main NN balance. This should make things a bit easier when managing your NNs. Clicking on Places from the main menu no longer opens up the big buttons for Tutorial Island and Sunset Harbor as these buttons have been integrated in to the user public places screen which now shows by default. The user public area info now also shows the Area ID for the selected user public area.

We've removed the restriction on the amount of user public areas a denizen member can own. Denizen members can now have unlimited public areas, but keep in mind that each new public area will have it's own weekly rent.

Signs
I'm really excited about this new retail item as it has so much potential use. Signs are purchasable retail items in client that allow you to display a message on said sign. Managing a sign allows you to change the background color, text color, and font size used on the sign. Those familiar with HTML can use basic HTML tags such as bold, italic, tables and more to make some stand out visual signs.

There are 3 different visual styles for the signs that can be purchased separately. More sign options will come available over time.

Telepads
Telepads allow for quick transportation between user public areas. Plop down one of these new shiny devices and you can setup quick gateways to your favorite public locations or link your public location to another area you own or one owned by your friend. The telepads use the Area ID listed in the user public places interface to know where it should go. Simply manage the telepad, enter the Area ID and click ok. Now when you walk on to it, it will ask if you want to go to that public area. Simple technology in your hands today! Guaranteed to get you there with most of your atoms arranged correctly.

Role-Play Chat Commands
We added a couple of chat commands for those doing roleplay. Type /roll in the chat field and a random number is generated between 1 and 6. You can also add a number such as /roll 20 to emulate difference die sizes. We've also added in a /flipcoin that will say heads or tails randomly. Can't make a decision on something? /flipcoin is the the answer!

There have been a host of bug fixes and tweaks to various elements to improve the client over all. Please see below for the long list of updates and changes.
