v0.32 — Darkness Falls Beta (Normal Classic + SI)

Offline DAoC v0.32 — Darkness Falls Beta (normal edition)

This is the Classic + Shrouded Isles edition. It does not contain Sluaghbinder. For that optional class, use v0.32b.

September 28 stability update

• Savage bots can make normal outdoor pulls. Cursed Tomb avoids the low-level spider goal behind a stronger entrance pack and starts groups on reachable entrance targets. Koalinth mixed-level goals match actual spawn levels, and ordinary group pulls can start at 90/80/80 readiness.
• Group meetups try a different verified point after a route failure. No-shows no longer reset everyone's timer; viable groups may proceed after bounded retries. Revived members regroup locally only with a two-way route, and a missing-zone crash is guarded.
• The audited Hibernia Darkness Falls exterior loop uses a paid stable route only when boarding and landing are verified; otherwise it abandons that loop. Lough Derg short-detour recovery can try a different verified step. Midgard combat defeats were not treated as routing faults; monster strength is unchanged.
• Bots can sell redundant backpack gear without selling equipped items, useful weapon swaps, spare instruments, or upgrades. Ordinary PvE goals stay out of enemy frontiers, while RvR and realm events are unchanged. Two falsely empty camp level catalogs now match live spawns.
• /gminfo reports helmet model and extension. Model-840 scale coifs with stored extension 2 or 3 display with the working extension-0 appearance, without changing stats or saved items. Moving native-speed companions can pause to cast their learned group speed and catch up. The classic-side Shrouded Isles portals at Cotswold, Mularn, and Mag Mell are visible and collision-free, with no player travel or bot-route change.

Earlier v0.32 Darkness Falls, bounty, camp, charm-pet, and Bard fixes remain included. Darkness Falls is still Beta: ordinary verified grind camps are enabled, but raid AI, Legion, the hardest level-70+ encounters, and unreachable flying targets are not ordinary bot goals. A long live three-realm test is still needed.
