Update v5.10.1

This update comes as I take a break from working on the planned major content expansion to work on important code updates that make running Nin Online as a live service smoother as well as important new features and bug fixes.

I'm also back from a break that I have to take yearly as I have to return to my country to serve in the military for a few weeks each year! So expect more regular updates again.

Replaced AI Generated animations in Introduction video in line with player feedback

In line with player feedback, I've reworked the introduction video of Nin Online to one that does not contain AI-generated animation/artwork, and I do believe that this is for the better of the game and keeps the spirit of Nin Online more intact as it utilizes the original introduction graphics that artist Daikai did in 2018.

Thank you for your feedback!

Features

• New Fishing Mini-game

  We've redesigned the fishing mini-game to one that requires a little more skill, it's inspired by the famous Stardew Valley Fishing mechanic, which is personally my favorite fishing minigame of all time.

• When you first login to Nin Online, you will be prompted to scale your UI

  This is added because many players never find out they can control the size of the UI

• Added Basic NPC Platforming

  NPCs are now able to jump onto, climb onto and fall from Z heights. NPCs are also now affected by Knock up Jutsu.

• (Admins) Auto Event Schedule Settings

  Admins can now set up Auto-Event timings on a per-server basis. They can also set up new tournament, CTF and TDM maps in the server editor. It was previously hardcoded and introducing new maps into the random map roster required a server update.

• (Devs) Added Pagination to Item Icon selection

  This fixes a long lag spike caused by loading all 1800 Item Icons upon clicking the item icon selector in the Item Editor

• Added new (Tilda key default) Minimap overlay feature and shortcut

  

• (Admin) Added /spectate command

• Added Arrest and Arrested Stats (to be used in future) The game now records how many times you arrest someone and are arrested.

• Added new "Mapper" permissions for users to be able to modify map layouts without gaining access to scripting This is so we can allow GMs to fix simple map errors without adding accidental exploits

Content

• Crystal Beach Cave

  Crystal Beach Cave follows the path of a single lost map said to chart a route no one has walked in decades. A sealed treasure sits somewhere past the crystal-lit bends, unreachable to anyone who can’t decode the map’s vanished markings.

  • Added new mini interaction - Lost Bottle

  • Added new map - Crystal Beach Cave

  • Added new mob - Crystal Slug

  • Crystal Pipe is now obtainable

• Tunneller Mount is now obtainable

• Tonfa Rework
  

  • Tonfa renamed to Metal Tonfa

  • Metal Tonfa Value increased from 2500 to 4000 Ryo

  • Added new item named Wooden Tonfa

  • Wooden Tonfa are now dropped by Daimaru in Level 20 Arc

  • Metal Tonfa Base Damage increased from 30 to 40

  • Blood Tonfa Base Damage reduced from 40 to 35

  • Metal Tonfa bonus fortitude increased from 2 to 5

  In summary, there are now 3 Tonfa. Wooden, Blood and Metal. Blood Tonfa and Metal Tonfa are about the same in power but different in that Blood Tonfa grants some Life Steal but are slightly weaker in damage output. Metal is hunted from Chei as it always has been. Blood is made from hunting for, the less rare, Wooden Tonfa from Daimaru (an easier, more level fitting boss, since Tonfas are level 25+ weapons) and then combining it with Wooden Pieces from puppets to enhance it. This is a more certain path towards a viable Tai weapon.

Changes

• Added new RP settings for Exiling/Pardoning We can now disable Exiling/Pardoning and make it so Exiling is purely an RP-only feature where both players consent to the RP exile. Exiling has always been intended to be an RP feature, but it has become a method used by players to moderate fellow players - which has always been fun only for one side of the transaction.
