On Sunday 12th July from 19:00BST the Techhaven Network will be offline until about Monday 13th July 08:00BST.

This is due to the server hardware that hosts the Techhaven Network being relocated to a new datacenter by our hosts.

I would like to apologise for the inconvenience this will cause anyone.

Updated: Got my days mixed up - correct dates are now shown.

The Tech Haven Network is doing a small browser survey, and we would like you to spend a moment telling us which browsers you use, espeically if you are using an older browser. (Like Internet Explorer 6 or Firefox 2)

The results will help decide what browsers the Tech Haven Network will fully support.

To vote, head over to this thread.

Due to a recently discovered security issue in the gallery software for the THN, the Gallery is offline until further notice.

Also please be aware, existing links to pictures on the site will not work as all access has been disabled. I apologise for the inconvenience caused.

The uneX contribution preview 2 package is now available for download - including the DNS Assistant - a tool to sort out your DNS woes, NSkillV1 (small update), latest versions of the uneX launchers V1 and 2 (including sexy new music for Neocron)

This new package contains our new auto-update software, which means your uneX software need never be out-of-date, the uneX programs will periodically check for new versions.

At present, we cannot yet make unex accounts for the version 2 of the launcher automatically, but if you PM Marc Hoover or myself, we can manually create one for you.

The first preview release was not as complete as planned; namely the auto-updater was not included. NSkillV2 is still under development, we soon (TM) hope to be able to provide a very accurate model for damage and resists, including heals and psi shields, and that elusive complete item listing.

Anyhow, enough with the waffling, here's a link:

Contribution networX ultimate package Preview # 2 (Ultimate Network)
Contribution networX ultimate package Preview #2 (THN mirror)

We are also putting together a wiki to answer the whats, hows, wherefores and what-exactly-does-this-dos, and this can be found here:

uneX Wiki - we will be udpating this with useful content asap.

As usual, please post any questions or feedback in this thread , it helps us greatly.

Marc Hoover has announced and released the 1st preview release of the uneX constribution pack.

"The uneX Contribution Pack is a fan made software collection of all software which was developed by the uneX Developer Team. The package includes NSkill v1, Item GFX, uneX Launcher v1 & v2 (BETA) and the "Neocron Enhancement Pack" the boost for your Neocron Client.

NCEP includes new sounds, musics and graphics for Neocron, you'll feel the new atmosphere!

If you want to test the uneX v2 Launcher contact Marc Hoover for an account."

The pack can be downloaed from the following locations:-

ultimate networX
PlasmaStorm.NET
Tech Haven Network

Have you ever wonder which smuggler sells the Tangent Mini Rocketlauncher  . Or you need to know where else you can buy the HEW Advanced War Drone RK-1000   drone when your Soullight is bad? (Hold your mouse over the little i icon to see the item information.)

With the help of the wiki, and the new item DB linking feature, wiki pages can be now linked up to items.

A big thanks has to go to Reaction, Logan Ford,  and Biglines,  who went and collected information on what each smuggler and vendor sells and added it to the wiki.

Not all the vendors are listed in the wiki, so please be patience while the vendor pages are compiled, or better still help out on the wiki .

The THN will be offline for about 1-2 hours on Wednesday 25th June from 20:00BST (19:00UTC) This includes the THN Item DB, Rares DB, Forums and Wiki.

During the downtime, the Item DB will be upgraded to version 1.5.0 The reason for the downtime is this release is quite complex, and also it takes a little while for the DB backups to run.

I would like to apologise in advance for the inconvenience this downtime may cause.

Items DB 1.4.5 aka "The servers are down edition" has been released. This is a small release to address a bug with modifer not listing on the drugs page and extend the THN API with a little bit of new functionality.

The patch notes are on the NC-Wiki 

Marc Hoover has released the uneX framework for Neocron. The framework consists of a set of .NET DLL's for coders out there to make writing ultilties for Neocron a lot easier.

The discussion threads can be found here on the official forums, although developers are encouraged to use the uneX forums. The package can be download from here.
