Here are the notes for the patch released 03/01/2022.

Player Races

  • Playable Arkanian race added. Arkanians are egotistical masters of genetics, and a perfect fit for an aspiring bioengineer.
  • Playable Echani race added. Echanis are obsessed with personal combat, with racial bonuses to center of being.
  • Dathomiri witches should now have new face markings available.
  • Chiss characters have received a visual upgrade. New customization options are available, such as eyebrows, makeup, etc.
  • The EiF team experimented with the new-canon style Chiss eyes. The team has chosen to release a mod for that instead of including it in official server files. If you wish to try it, download this file and drop it in your EiF directory. To uninstall, simply remove the file.

Server Changes

  • The SWGEmu AI update has been integrated into EiF code. This was a massive undertaking requiring a huge number of changes on EiF to implement the code. Bugs may result – please report issues promptly.

Misc

  • NPCs may now holster their weapons after exiting combat.
  • Weapon DPS calculation reworked to include a player’s speed modifiers and the speed cap. DPS is calculated as a base-level /attack with the weapon in question.
  • Smugglers examining weapons and armor will now see information on the slice performed on the object instead of the generic “This weapon has been altered by a smuggler and may bring unwanted attention from the Empire” message.
  • Heavy weapon specials have had their range restriction removed.
  • Worn weapons implemented. (Not yet available to players.)

Here are the notes for today’s patch on 11/24/2021

General

  • Upstream merges from SWGEmu.
  • Art updates for several basic SWG swords.
  • Entertainer/Musician instruments can now be moved to a character’s back with /shoulder. (This command is also bindable in keymap, but by default does not have a key.)
  • New characters, on creation, now have at least one skill to accompany their starting profession.
  • Fixed several broken mounts.
  • Fixed TCG bunker ceiling shader.

Profession Updates 

Jedi

  • Force abilities now require mind to execute. Mind is not consumed when a Force ability is used, but a Jedi must have enough mind available to use the Force. Different abilities require different amounts of mind to execute.
  • Crackling energy buff now has a buff icon indicating how many stacks of crackling energy the player has.
  • Crackling energy buff now lasts six seconds and refreshes when another lightning ability is cast.
  • Force Lightning Blast is now available at master Jedi for a wide-cone AOE with high damage, but requires and consumes five crackling energy buffs.
  • Force attacks are now much stronger, but have a PvP damage reduction.
  • Fixes made to multiple Force abilities which were no longer working correctly due to upstream SWGEmu merges.
  • States added to several Force attacks.
  • Jedi lightsabers now execute a Ricochet on a successful defensive roll. While lightsabers still require appropriate secondary defense (for example, Block on a polearm lightsaber), the actual defensive reaction is now Ricochet (which works analogously to Counterattack).

Commando

  • Commando flame and acid specials now properly DoT, including wounding and battle fatigue.

Doctor

  • Doctor specials now use the combat queue

Misc

  • Player-to-player holocomm is now available. When using /holocomm, a new option will now appear to <Call Player>. If a player accepts an incoming holocomm, both players will be able to see a holographic simulacrum of the other player and speak to each other via spatial chat.
