Zisu's Rune:Halls of Valhalla 1.08 Patch by The Zisu's WGW Projects Division Team (30mb) | 9/6/05

This community made patch will update your version of Halls of Valhalla from 1.06/1.07 to
1.08. This patch is fully compatible with previous patches. Please note this patch is for the Halls
of Valhalla expansion ONLY. You must have Rune: Halls of Valhalla installed on your system before running this upgrade. Human Head Studios Fully Authorized and Endorsed this patch!

Redirected downloads!

Download redirection for Windows clients. When the client doesn't have all the packages
that the server has defined, it needs to download them. Normally this is done by downloading from
the gameserver, at a theorethical maximum rate of 20kB/s. This can dry out the servers upload band causing lag
for the players. Download redirection makes clients download packages from the webserver. The packages are packed
to zip format, thus effectively reducing the download size to apr. 1/3 of the original. Download speed is limited
only by the connection between the client and the webserver. If the packages are in a good webserver and the client
has a 1Mbps broadband connection, a 9MB map will probably be downloaded and installed in much less than a minute's
time as opposed to the normal time of apr. 8 minutes

- Compatibility:
Patch is 1.07 (HoV) backwards compatible, 1.06/7 clients can
join 1.08 servers and vice versa.

- Providing news
In-game "News" tab is redirected to RuneHordes.Info where active
admins (US and EU) frequently update the page. This page has good potential of becoming the main distribution channel for all
Rune-related information.

Serverside in-definable movement/behaviour, can be made fully 1.07 (default),
fully 1.00 or something in between

Zisu's RUNE Halls of Valhalla 1.08a Patch Fix

This small patch should correct some problems noted with the original 1.08 patch released in September 2005. Unzip the included files to your Rune HoV \System folder, overwriting the old ones.

The issues are listed below, along with the offending filename(s)

* Custom scoreboards not displaying (SATools2, BMScoreboard, etc.) (RuneServerAdmin.u)

* Hang at "Connecting" when trying to join a 1.08 server (RuneServerAdmin.u)

* Other players using HOV and non-default skins are invisible in 1.08 servers (RuneServerAdmin.u)

* When trying to join another 1.08 server, you loopback to the server you were previously on (UWindow.u & UBrowser.u)

* Game crashes if testing maps in non-dedicated mode on your machine, then you decide to join another 1.08 server (UWindow.u & UBrowser.u)

From Zisu: "Some of you may be asking "why did RuneServerAdmin cause the first three problems, isn't it used by servers only?"
To be honest, I don't know. I'm guessing it was just a bad compile. The problems mentioned only
manifest themselves if the client has installed RuneServerAdmin .5a, so the problem was actually
with that file, and not RuneServerAdmin.u included in the original 1.08 package. If you still get "invisible" players after installing this
patch, then it is most likely a German version problem.

Lar's Web Admin .5a for 1.08 patch (31.19kb) | 9/6/05

Lar has developed a "Web Admin" patch for the new Rune:HoV 1.08!

All of the changes can be found on the "Player List" page. These are:

--time remaining displayed

--frag/score/match limit displayed

--current match displayed for Arena

--team scores!!

--player names are forced to be HTML compliant

--full bright table row colors toned down

--"Team 255" (standard non-teamgame player) table row color is now dark grey, instead of white

--integrated IP search using GeoBytes IP Locator service

Since this release, Lar developed additional "Web Admin" patches to be used with the Rune: HOV 1.08.
