Patch 145 — Feb 2 2012: Vendors, Speech, House Placement
Patch 145: Feb 2 2012
- You must be within 3 steps of an NPC vendor and have Line of Sight to converse with them, or buy and sell.
- Previously the required distance varied between some vendors.
- This does not apply to Bank, Stable, or Claim.
- There is now a slight delay in response when talking to an NPC. This behavior was noted on OSI and has been replicated here.
- Animal Trainers are invulnerable.
- NPC vendors restock policy was slightly modified so that purchased goods, especially scrolls remain in stock longer.
- The standard range for normal speech is now 9 (down from 15), Yell remains unchanged at 18 tiles.
- Added check for steps borders in house placement, land adjacent to steps must be level.
- This should prevent placing houses with steps that cannot be walked onto.
- A speech throttle for spam was introduced. Very fast repeated text will cause you to be squelched for a short time.
Thanks to Batlin for uncovering the details on the speech ranges in this thread: Town Vendor Npc Command Range
Update Feb 29:
- The speech throttle was eased quite a bit; should be less of an issue now when performing normal actions.
- There was a bug found in the NPC delay effectively doubling (or more) their delay. This has been corrected.
