You can preview them at these 3 URL's. Phoenix Mod - PHX http://phx.neocron3.com (http://phx.neocron3.com) Sky-Net Interface - SNI - http://sni.neocron3.com (http://sni.neocron3.com) Enhanced Core Ssystem - ECS - http://ecs.neocron3.com (http://ecs.neocron3.com)Or you can view the 3 mods with each part of the RPOS on this excellent portal site (http://rpos.neocron3.com/index.htm). To switch between each HUD type, use the switch in the top left corner and click on the buttons in the middle to view each part of the HUD, and of course follow the instructions to install and download them.Finally, don't forget to comment on the HUDS on the official forums in this English thread (http://forum.neocron.com/showthread.php?t=144402), or the German thead (http://forum.neocron.com/showthread.php?t=144401). Neocron - News Thu, 29 Jul 2010 17:26:57 +0100 http://www.techhaven.org/content/view/425/113/ Patch 174 has been released, which restores the Neocron client back to the same working files as patch 168. This is what Chenoa posted (http://forum.neocron.com/showthread.php?t=144392). (English version edited for clarity.) We are sorry, but we have to patch back to #168 for now - but it's #174The DEVs will continue working on this code patch, but its more important to bring the Hamster back into its wheel.I hope everything is fine again for everyone when the server is up again. If not, please let me know here!If everything is ok then... There will be a bit more action on the servers at the weekend! Neocron - News from the offical launcher Thu, 22 Jul 2010 14:08:48 +0100 http://www.techhaven.org/content/view/420/113/ Well, I have to admit this. None of us was expecting this to happen.Yes folks, after 2 and half years, we have a patch. Here is what Thanatos announced on the forums and the launcher. This patch is not a content patch, but a technical patch to increase the security of Neocron's network traffic. These changes will break all known cheat programs. Neocron now also requires newer Visual C++ runtimes. Odds are that another game or program has already installed these on your PC, but if Neocron does not start after applying the patch, you will need to go to Microsoft (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en FamilyID=766a6af7-ec73-40ff-b072-9112bab119c2) and download and install the vcredist_x86.exe at the bottom of the page. So hopefully the cheaters will be gone, but it's not clear if this patch addresses the current stability (Such as mini-rollbacks etc) issues with Neocron. Update: 23:41 - By Brammers: It looks like there is an issue with the patch. Unfortunately we haven't been able to resolve the issues with crashing on zoning yet. We'll keep working on it but right now it looks unlikely we'll be able to fix it tonight. I've have tried to connect, but it fails to connect to the server. I am assuming Reakktor have stop the server to stop anyone patching or playing until they fix the problem. News of patch 170 and 171 will be posted here as soon as I hear about it. Update: 16:33 9th July - By Brammers.Another hotfix (172), and all the servers are back online. Update: 11:10 12th July - By Brammers.Looks like the problem wasn't fixed, and I have mis-reported that the servers are back online. My apologies for this. This is the latest news:- Hey Community, I'm not happy to tell you that we've decided to keep the server downtime during this weekend. We've tried fix the problems but we don't have any progress on that right now. We want to be fair so now you have to choose the second best choice for this weekend. To be honest: This patch was tested without any problems on our local machines. This behaviour was a big surprise to us. So please excuse these unexpected changes. We will not stop digging - if we have new information we will give it to you. There is a thread open here (http://forum.neocron.com/showthread.php?t=144376). Update: 18:32 12th July - By Brammers.Another hotfix (173) has appeared on the FTP server, however no NC for us to play. This was the last update posted by Thanatos (http://forum.neocron.com/showpost.php?p=2166618 postcount=22) Unfortunately we haven't been able to get rid of the world crashes yet so we'll need to keep the servers down until at least tomorrow. Update: 21:14 13th July - Brammers.An update from Thanatos. Sadly, it's still a no-go. Unfortunately we'll still have to continue our work tomorrow, so the servers will have to stay down for another day. Update: 08:00 15th July - By Brammers.No more news has been released since the last update,Update: 23:53 16th July - By BrammersThe servers are online, however they do appear to be very unstable. My recommendation (And I mean mine personally, not the THN) is to be very careful. However, if you do have any comments or bugs reports, please contribute then here (http://forum.neocron.com/showthread.php?t=144376).Update 12:57 17th July - By You know who.Servers are down again until at least Monday, while the devs work on the issues.Update 12.14 20th July- By the man with the Golden ZsusunServers are up, and it's seems to be looking better, however play with care! If you get any crashes or issues, please report them in this thread (http://forum.neocron.com/showthread.php?t=144376) . Neocron - News from the offical launcher Thu, 08 Jul 2010 12:19:52 +0100 http://www.techhaven.org/content/view/422/117/ There has been a small update to the THN API part of the Item DB, where a few JQuery libraries have been updated.No new functionality has been added, however support for IE6 has been dropped. If you use this browser on the THN Item DB, you may find parts of it will not display correctly. We recommend upgraded to IE8, or using an alternative browser such as Firefox (http://www.firefox.com) . Update 19th July 2010: Some more code updates which should have no effect on current functionality. THN - Items DB Sat, 17 Jul 2010 16:59:52 +0100 http://www.techhaven.org/content/view/421/120/ This afternoon and this evening, you may have noticed parts of the THN being offline without any notice. I aplogise for this, but since Neocron was offline, and I had a little time on my hands, I thought I would do a little tidy up. All that was changes was relocating the code from the old Techhaven SVN repositry, to the Shared SVN repositry with the Prophecy Network, and also removing some old code from the Joomla side of THN. If this means nothing to you, don't worry, just read the next paragraph.Everything should be running as normal, but if you find anything that is not right, please post a thread up on the THN forums (http://forum.techhaven.org/).Also over the next week, I am planning a minor release to the Rares DB to remove Neptune from the listing.Update 1: Known issue, the Wiki logo has gone missing. It will be restored later! THN - Site News Mon, 12 Jul 2010 21:35:05 +0100
