WSA: Wurm Online Launcher changes

This week we’ll be introducing a new, native launcher for Wurm Online. As is the case every couple of years, due to certificate renewal the current JNLPs and shortcuts are going to break this week, but now in addition to the JNLP, we are releasing native executable files for Windows and Linux, with a Mac version following later in the month.

As previously mentioned, this gives you a way to just install the game like you do with any other application, and not worry about installing the correct version of Java and such – the launcher will now detect and download the version you need.

Planned release day of the launcher changes is this Thursday, 11th July 2019. The download links + instructions for the new launcher, as well as the fixed JNLPs, will be put both in this post and on the Wurm Online website.

Watch the date – the current Wurm installs are going to break at that same time.

Patch Notes: 9/JUL/19

  • Epic has been taken down for the full revamp and reset of the Elevation map.
    • The home servers will reopen in the next few hours with Elevation being down until the 11th of July.
  • New: You can now set lockable bulk containers with permissions to not allow items to be placed in them below a specified quality level. Notes below:
    • Specified quality level is dictated in Integer of the ql of the attached lock (a 99.99ql small padlock would lock the container ql to 99).
    • Quality lock is effective meaning that a 100.0ql corn with 25 damage is equivalent to 75.0ql.
    • Only locked bulk containers can have the quality locked.
    • The quality lock option is located under the right click “permissions” when there is a lock attached.
    • To disable the feature just go back permissions and click “Disable Quality Lock”.
    • Removing the lock will also disable the feature. Note: You will need to re-enable the feature when re-attaching the lock, if you wish to continue using the system.
    • Bulk Container Unit shelves can each be locked separately, as well as each having there own perms, so as to allow each shelf to have there own Quality Lock.
    • Containers must be empty in order enable the quality lock.
    • Removing / replacing the lock will disable the quality lock.
    • Removing / replacing, disabling / enabling the quality lock will be saved to the items permissions history.

    • PvP servers use more liquid to transmutate tile.
