2.4.0
This is a unofficial copy of the Wurm client release notes as posted by notch on the forums. Some people might find it interesting to see what has been changed over the past few months. I hope that people will be able to see just how busy Mojang has been. The section headings are the client version, followed by the date released. Please note that this page was not created by Mojang, so it is not an official document.

===Details===
====Crafting toolbelt====
The crafting toolbelt is a floating window with up to five slots that can be assigned to anything in your inventory for single-click or hotkey access. During testing, everybody has one. It shows up always, in the upper left corner, and is just large enough to accommodate 5 Wurm item icons. It can be moved around by dragging it, like the compass image. After testing, it will be a craftable studded leather item, with the number of available slots depending on the quality of the belt. ''Crafting a belt will be required, as with compasses.''
To assign an item to a toolbelt slot, simply drag it from inventory to a slot. To activate a tool in the toolbelt, left click on its icon once in the toolbelt. Double-click is not required, in the toolbelt. To activate a tool using a hotkey, press the appropriate key on your keyboard.
To enable hotkeys, add the following to your autorun.txt:
<pre>
bind 1 activate_tool1
bind 2 activate_tool2
bind 3 activate_tool3
bind 4 activate_tool4
bind 5 activate_tool5
</pre>
This will bind keyboard keys 1 through 5 to slots 1 through 5 in the toolbelt. Slot 1 is the left-most slot in the window and nhttp://www.wurmonline.com/wiki/index.php?title=Wurm_Client_Release_History&action=submit
Editing Wurm Client Release History - Preview - WurmPediaumbering proceeds sequentially.
====OpenAL====
OpenAL is the Open Audio Library. Enable it by choosing the option from the Sound tab in the launcher Options. You will also notice a new volume control in the Sound tab, which only affects OpenAL. OpenAL provides support for hardware surround-sound, up to 7.1, and provides reasonable positioning even with only stereo hardware.
==== Set rendering options on the fly ====
For now, setting rendering options while inside the game is done in the console using the ''setoption'' command. The currently supported options are:
* reflections
* trees
* structure_render_distance
* render_glow
* terrain_bump
* tile_transitions
* use_tree_models
* gui_opacity
* censor_chat
* setting_timestamps
* glsl_enabled
* shadow_level
* cloud_shadows
* log_level
* inverse_mouse
* sound_al_gain
These options should be recognizable vs. their names in the launcher Options. Those which are checkboxes, such as GLSL Enabled, accept true or false as options. For example, you could enable GLSL shaders by typing in console:
<pre> setoption glsl_enabled true </pre>
Those which are drop-down lists of choices accept numbered options, from 0 in sequence up through the number of options in the list. For example, you could select Short rendering distance for structures by typing in console:
<pre> setoption structure_render_distance 1 </pre>
To set Extreme rendering distance for structures:
<pre>setoption structure_render_distance 4</pre>
The one slider supported is the new volume control, which accepts integer values from 1 to 30, with a default of 10 being no change in default gain. ''Values higher than 10 can result in nasty scratchy noises. Use at your own risk.'' (This is expected to change.)
Additional options which may or may not have a visible effect:
* cavedetail
* skydetail
* render_distant_terrain
* fast_yield
* release_context
* hint_fog
* hint_mipmap
* hint_linesmooth
* hint_perspective
* hint_pointsmooth
* hint_polygonsmooth
* use_smooth_points
* use_smooth_lines
* use_smooth_polygons
* use_anisotropic_filtering
* use_weather_particles
* outline_picking[/list]
==== New bindables ====
<strike>There are 7 new bindables:
* toggle_climb
* toggle_faithful
* toggle_lawful
* fight_aggressively
* fight_normal
* fight_defensive
* fight_spam
Sample binds you can add to your autorun.txt:
<pre>
bind u toggle_climb
bind i toggle_faithful
bind o toggle_lawful
bind h fight_aggressively
bind j fight_normal
bind k fight_defensive
bind l fight_spam
</pre>
You may of course choose any other keys that aren't already bound. </strike>
Before anybody complains, yes eventually both these options and the key bindings will have their own GUIs inside the client to customize them without having to type long ugly formulas into the console. Baby steps.
