| As some of you have discovered since trying out the version update, the sorting for the magic and ability list was reset. Here's why that happened. During the version update, we edited the internal aspects of magic data in order to prepare for the below:
Why the list was reset The order of spells aren't directly tied to the actual spell information and is indirectly referenced via several other types of data. With that said, the main reason for this is due to the fact that major changes to the spell data file will make it incompatible with the spell order data file and it became necessary to reset the data. We looked into the possibility of converting the data, but this would be very difficult under the current system, so it was decided to reset them. Saving Spell Order on the Server If you need to re-install, it's possible to use data that has been saved to the server, much like macros. However, if there are internal changes, such as in this case, the data itself may no longer be compatible and rendered useless. Reviewing Spell Order As we did with blue magic spells previously, we will continue to implement revamps for the sorting of other spells. Our plan for implementation would be after this expansion has been completed. We will not reorder spells before the expansion, since we would have to do so again after. We apologize for announcing this after the fact and will do our best to make sure that we convey this information earlier. | ||||
