====== Crossfire Traffic ======

Crossfire Traffic is a means to communicate the activity surrounding crossfire in an accessible and non-technical way, it is targeted at those who are curious about what is happening with the project, but find the existing mailing lists, commit list, forum, wiki and IRC channels overly complicated, scary, or time consuming to read. As such it does not contain any background details, but instead focuses only on things that are user-visible.

Please put most recent on bottom for month. Unless specified otherwise, changes are in [[:sourceforge:svn_code#trunk]] only.

    * Increasing grace from 3 to 4 causes the spell to cost 14 more grace by max level
  * Make mimics easier to hit, since the linear scaling made them hard to hit and heavy-hitters

      * Give explicit name to tutorials, and add more details on them

    * Monsters that are set to approach the player with default behavior (as opposed to RUSH AI), will occasionally dodge off the shortest path to terrain that is no worse than the shortest path's terrain
      * This is less dodging/weaving than the Dijkstra's algorithm inherently produced, but is more easily controlled
      * In this case, we dodge 1/4 of the time, and if that proves to be too much or too little, the random check that is done can be altered to make the chances satisfactory

  * [[https://sourceforge.net/p/crossfire/bugs/783/|Bug #783 Selecting "Quit Character" on character selection screen, then exiting, breaks animation]] 
      * If a user is on the Character Selection screen, and chooses the "File->Quit Character" option from the menu, then exits the client without playing a character, the next time the user uses that account will not present the face saved as the character "current face"
      * This absence extends into the gameplay, where the specific image missing in the selection window is also missing in the in-game character movement animation
