Asherons Call: New Third Party Guy Plays Catch-up

In no particular order:

• Decal.
  v2.4.1 beta version has been released. Please remember this is a
  beta so the unexpected is to be expected. You can still use v2.4.0 of
  Decal which is the latest official release.
• Bandit Sight/2 Advanced Edition.
  (Decal plugin) A great plugin's name just got longer. This
  advanced version is intended for advanced users who want a lot more control
  over the configuration of Bandit Sight. You can find more information
  about this beta in our very own
  TPP forum right
  
  here.
• 
  Fen-Ra's Meditation. (Decal
  plugin) Not to be confused with
  Mum-Ra's Incantation or She-Ra's special brand of Mediation, this simple
  little tool helps you keep track of which spells you still need to learn, and
  helps you figure out which level 7 spell does what. Definitely handy.
• TradeBot.
  (Decal plugin) v3.8.0.0 of this tool
  brings many new features and some bug fixes all of which are detailed
  here.
• MagusID.
  (Decal plugin) Jumps to v1.1.0.49. N or the Weapon list multiple times will clear that entire list now. You can
  still click on any row to delete it." title="" target="_blank">ow
  enforce a limit of 2.0 on banes. The AC Server sends down > 2.0 values, but
  they are never used. Item IDs are used instead of name/burden to control
  adding duplicate items in the list. This will allow you to add items with the
  same name to the list. The debug option button will start out unchecked
  now. Clicking on the header "column" above the icon for the Armor list
  or the Weapon list multiple times will clear that entire list now. You can
  still click on any row to delete it.
• Sixth Sense.
  (Decal plugin) v2.5.5 beta. This classic of a Decal Plugin just keeps
  getting better and better. New Item Configuration Panel! Shield
  and Weapon are back! Scroll Detection fixed! And a few other
  changes.
• 
  Sort
  It!. (Decal plugin) v3.3
  sorts corpses! If this weren't a game the police might be inclined to
  check the authors basement since he was excited enough to exclaim this new
  feature. In truth two new chat commands were added:
  /si SelectNextCorpse will
  automatically select the closest corpse to you that you have not yet selected.
  You can enter this command multiple times to cycle through all the corpses in
  your area. /si OpenNextCorpse does a selectnext as above, and if you
  have rights, automatically opens that corpse.
• TreeStats.
  (Decal plugin) v3.0.1.2 was the last of a mad
  rush of updates at the end of August (but my own personal notification was on
  9/15). Totally rewrote the posting routine...
  haven't had any more client crashes/hangs/etc while posting anymore as a
  result... In addition, with the new posting method, it SHOULD work through
  proxies.
• Zyrca
  Bot II. (Decal plugin) v2.2.0.0 of Dereth's premiere portal
  bot program brings us the following changes: The bot will now function
  without Spell Filter. Added lots of output details to the login, to make
  it easier to figure out why the bot doesn't work. Fixed the problem
  where Zyrca Bot's did not like facing north If Zyrca Bot II is
  having trouble moving an item, it will give up after 6 tries New
  command added, /zb org! When used the bot will do its organizational things.
  Default individual settings file will now include 'summon2' as its second
  summon phrase
• 
  zExplorer. v4.00a beta. The future of ACExplorer is
  now, and with that future comes a more generic name. zExplorer is
  database and mapping utility for online games such as Asheron's Call. Maps are
  compatible with zMapper. Currently, Asheron's Call and Asheron's Call 2:
  Fallen Kings are supported, with more games to be added in the future.
• Nerfus Buffus II.
  (Decal plugin) This must have tool gets an update so it works properly
  with the September 2002 patch. Along with the September patch, Turbine
  retired game event 0x001C (Action Failure) and replaced it with a new packet
  that basically does the same thing but provides a little more information.
  That caused NB2 to stop detecting fails, so it had to fallback on the safety
  timeouts to detect fizzles (they'd get caught by what is normally a 'dud': the
  action complete packet was received, but no packet to indicate if the spell
  worked or failed). For some help installing the patch, look at
  this
  post in our
  TPP forum.

That is all...for now...[insert maniacal laughter here]
