Moria
Today I have mainly focused on improving the playing experience on the "Mines of Moria" map.
These are the most important changes made to the map:
- Added 4 Dwarven Windlasses
- Can be used by all players
- Can be used by one player at a time
- Fires 4 very accurate metal bolts at a duration of 0.5 second
- 10 second cooldown between 4 blasts
- Added a new, 2x as big, Balin's Tomb
- Added a Bashable Door at Balin's Tomb
- Added a new way of bracing the gate (Only to Moria) for the new Balin's Tomb
- Dwarves can stand beside the gate to slow down gate damage
- Dwarves take 0.5 heart damage per blast and get pushed away from the gate
Added 2 food restocking chests to Balin's Tomb
- Balrog can now spawn at the 21st Hall
- Balrog can not leave the 21st Hall, just like in the 1st Hall
- Balrog no longer leaves a fire trail (was buggy before)
Arrowspam and Exp Bar
We added a new plugin written by Anrza to all of our servers. This plugin blocks the firing of arrows that weren't charged more than 50%. This prevents archers spamming arrows and makes the battles more fair and realistic.
We also added the mage fireball and crossbow reload time countdown to the experience bar of the players, where they can now clearly see how long until they can shoot again.
Bug Fixes
I've also been working on fixing a lot of minor server bugs today, these are the ones that you will notice affecting your gameplay the most.
[Fix] Mordor Constructors not respawning with items in Minas Tirith
[Fix] Helm's Deep trolls don't have mining fatigue
[Fix] Crossbowmen keep slowness after shooting
[Fix] Balrogs don't leave a proper fire trail
[Fix] Moria Gold doesn't get ladders cleared after game
[Fix] Minas Morgul spearmen can't throw spears
[Fix] Trolls unable to bash new Balin's Tomb Gate
[Fix] Food running out fast in Balin's Tomb

[Fix] Pigmen spawning in main lobby
[Fix] Map Switching shows both "not proceeded" and "proceeded" message when enough vote for
[Fix] Ents uniting in River Isen
[Fix] Uruk-hai Uniting near Keep windows
[Fix] Crossbowmen bows have Infinity
[Fix] Players use Arrowspam
[Fix] Reloading crossbow when hitting people
[Fix] Teammates blocking Windlass arrows
[Fix] Windlass arrows inaccurate targeting
[Fix] NazGul keeping troll strength and resistance
[Fix] Players having unstable amounts of experience and levels
[Fix] Uruk-hai unite in the back of Glittering Caves behind flag
And many more unrecorded bugs....
