What changed in each version of Deathwish. The newest versions are at the top; click an older version to open it.

Check for updates

Click and hold the Necrobane for more than 5 seconds. Deathwish checks for a newer version.

Version 1.01

  • Fixed an issue that made the system show error messages.
  • Fixed an issue that stopped some users from updating.

Version 1.0

New

  • Deflect sigil: a bouncing shield that pushes approaching physical objects and avatars away. It ends after a while, or when the caster or the target leaves its 15 m radius.
  • Raise Undead (zombie): a zombie with its own AI. It roams the region and avoids obstacles. It works as a practice target: it has a health meter, and you can defeat it with spells and physical objects. A zombie that wanders more than 45 m away returns to the caster.
  • Glow color command for the Necrobane: /7 dwcolor <COLOR>, for example /7 dwcolor green. For now it uses its own channel, /7.
  • A dispel gesture is now included. The default shortcuts are Ctrl + D and /dispel. You can change them.
  • New command /8 help opens the manual in your browser.
  • New command /8 changes opens this changelog.
  • Check for updates: click and hold the Necrobane for more than 5 seconds.

System

  • You can have up to 16 spells active at once.
  • Dispel by name: for example, /8 dispel confine ends only Confine.
