Dis might be the most stupid question ever: what's bollocks mean?

[balliztik1]

> Bollocks is a word of Anglo-Saxon origin, meaning "testicles". The word is often used figuratively in British English, as a noun to mean "nonsense", an expletive following a minor accident or misfortune

Google, sir.

You could add in a couple of fixes of my own, such as:

-[Fixing Item Deletion in Shops [EE 2.7+] + Bonus Shop Fix](http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php/topic,53525.msg567583.html#msg567583)
-[[Fix EE2.7+] Minus Stat Attribute Fix](http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php/topic,51801.0.html)

You may have to modify the minus stat attribute fix a little bit to fit **Eclipse Stable** because of the way scripts are executed.

I also have tons of other fixes that I did myself in SMBO, but I can't remember them all, unfortunately.

Yeah, and after you implement Winsock, you can also get rid of the **clsServer**, **clsSocket**, and **colSockets** Class Modules.

[balliztik1]

I got rid of those before I put Winsock in. ;D

And duly noted.

The tutorial's included in the source code, when I release it. I went through and numbered, so all you have to do is follow along. Searching "Winsock1", then "Winsock2" etc. will show you all the steps I did.

thanx Ballie :)

@CoonHunter:

> One bug you dont have listed, that I have, is kinda like the one, killing players in Non-PVP with spells. Except, its works with a Bow as well.

I couldn't replicate this. Every time I shot a player with a bow on a safe map it says "this is a safe zone!"

The problem is with hitting a player with a spell in a safe area, not hitting a player with a bow.

[balliztik1]

Yeah, I've already fixed that one. All the code for the bow looked good, so I just wanted to make sure I wasn't overlooking anything.

[Sr_Sirius]

Great job Ballie. Any date to aproximate release?

Thank you.

[balliztik1]

Well, the speed/magic swap is tedious. I could go ahead and release what I've got, since I've fixed most of it. Other than that, I just got the 2.8 source, so I'm going to mess with the party system in that. Shouldn't be too long.

@Ballie:

> Well, the speed/magic swap is tedious.

I think you just have to change a little code in the shops, the **Client** **modHandleData**, and the inventory. I've fixed this for a couple of people before, and I don't remember it being that much code.

[balliztik1]

Alright, that's cool. If you're sure that's everything, then it won't be so bad. I just remember reading where Unknown_Raven had started finding the issues but that he hadn't checked the whole source. That's a lot of places to check! ;O

[Kimimaru]

Oh yeah, you also have to swap the "+" signs on the Character screen in **frmStable**.

[teh jimpie]

is there any information about how far its done and how long it takes left? 
I can't wait :P
