Traipse Alpha 'OpenRPG' {090917-01} Traipse is a distribution of OpenRPG that is designed to be easy to setup and go. Traipse also makes it easy for developers to work on code without fear of sacrifice. 'Ornery-Orc' continues the trend of 'Grumpy' and adds fixes to the code. 'Ornery-Orc''s main goal is to offer more advanced features and enhance the productivity of the user. Update Summary: 00: Adds menu changes to draw attention to important updates, errors, or other events. (image info coming soon) Traipse URL is not included in the repos tab and is set as default. 01: Fixes Copy for Windows and Linux (finally!!) users. Fixes incomplete update to Grid and List nodes. Fixes incomplete update to Chat Commands.
