Install or update

  1. Need the base game first? Download and extract the original Offline DAoC v0.3 release.
  2. Close the game, server and launcher. Download UPDATE-OFFLINE-DAOC.cmd and Update-OfflineDAoC.ps1 into your game folder (next to START OFFLINE DAOC.cmd) and run the .cmd.
  3. It downloads the update pack, checks its SHA-256, backs up every file it replaces under update-backups, and installs it. Saves, account.txt and configs are never touched. After the first update, run UPDATE OFFLINE DAOC.cmd from the game folder to get later releases.

Coming from a v0.3 game with characters? The first launch asks for a one-time Camlann world reset (full backup first, local account kept). Old characters do not carry over.

Changes in 0.265.0

Added

  • Gothwaite PvP mode, stage 4: status and load (docs/GOTHWAITE_PVP_MODE.md,
    TASKS 125). /gothpvp (GM) shows the mode bots by level band and phase,
    the castle groups by shape, mode bot kills and deaths per band, kills by
    con colour, and the mode's turn load.
  • A GOTH_PVP_LOAD log line once a minute while the mode is on (bots, turn
    average, p95 and maximum, scan and group-former cost), and three new
    BOT_THINK_PROFILE phases (GothwaitePvpDriver, GothwaitePvpScan,
    GothwaitePvpFormer). The plan's section 12 describes how to measure the
    mode at 300, 600 and 1,000 bots.
  • Mode bots now and then say a short line in local chat after an arena kill
    (15%, at most once per 2 minutes per bot and once per 30 seconds in the
    arena).

Changed

  • Cheaper mode turns: patrol points are cached per arena edge, and a bot's
    opponent scan runs only when it is due (every 1.5 s).
