I Agree 2000% with Ent, If people were not so afraid of guns, and were more apt to protecting themselves, this guy could have been the only one to die.

There was only one other transmutation topic, and it's completely different then my idea. Some items in nature are actually the same elements, but are different because of the way they were created. Coal and Diamonds for instance. Diamonds are simply carbon atoms that were compressed with heat, coal was not compressed with heat, but are equally carbon. I was thinking that some professions could benefit by being able to transmute coal into diamonds, because it would save on alot of nexus PP's. The Engineering skill would be a great place for this (Alchemy already has so much) and the formulas could look something like: 50 fire ess + 20 Energy ess + all the coal in your inventory = diamonds equal to the same amount of EMU the coal took up. Perhaps a new tool could be introduced to make this possible. Other formulas could be possible, if anyone has any ideas that sound realistic, i'd like to hear them.

But there are not many professions in which you get more then you started with. In some cases, it's downright expensive, look at all the leather helms people skill on and sell to trik, at least in this case it's a usable end product, and you get skills too!

I was thinking that the fire and energy ess "burn off" the impurities, and to make it worth it, have an engineering skill level thats high enough so that not everyone can do it. Also, it would only be profitable or compete with current prices if you have enough pp's into might. you wouldn't want to waste alot of ess making something that can be harvested unless you had the space to transmute alot at once. If you think it would reduce the prices of diamonds, adjust the formula. I think it would be nice to be able to make each of the gems, this way crafters can do thier trade without having the nexus and harvesting levels to mine gems.

Fixed. On the test server it worked anyways, im at work, so i'll be updating my code when i get home. The code in my previous posting was the key to getting charn to accept more then 2 items form a user at a time. If you too are having problems with trades where users offer more then 2 items and the trade fails with an error stating you do not have enough room for the items, then try the above code. It's slightly different in VB.Net, but if you follow the idea to construct the packet properly, it will work. Thanks to everyone who posted thier ideas, and thank the game devs for this example code.

Get thier support on the phone, and don't let them hang up until it works. Let them go thru all your settings, your firewall, your router's software, whatever they want to do, even let them remote desktop (like go to my PC.com or whatever) until they are convinced that something is wrong on thier end. I've gone thru ISP issues before too, it will help that you have done all of these tests already. Just keep hammering home that you KNOW it's them, and you want them to prove it's not since you have exhausted all of your options. I once had 3 verizon managers, 2 local switch office tech's and 4 callcenter support people tied up for 2 weeks convincing them that even though thier map says my home (17,500 ft from the local switch office) is too far away for the higher speed DSL service to work, i knew that it would (i won't go into why i knew). It got to the end of the second week and finally i got the local switch office tech to switch my port to the higher speed service, then i ran a speedtest application and it worked perfectly and he could see that it was working. Before this they were refusing to give me the higher speed service, but i really wanted it and refused to give up until they proved it wouldnt work. Persistance.

I'm having issues downloading your source, are you on a dynamic IP?

#1 rule: go back to the documentation. Did so, and found something interesting. In the new trade protocol post, i found this tidbit: If you have already accepted the trade once, you have to send the targets for all of the items as well: CODE #define ITEM_INVENTORY 1 #define ITEM_BANK 2 str[0]=ACCEPT_TRADE; *((Uint16*)(str+1))=17; for(i=0;i<16;i++){ *((Uint8*)(str+3+i))=ITEM_INVENTORY || ITEM_BANK; } Well, i do not see my bot code doing this for the second accept, question that perhaps some of you may be able to answer, is does this apply when i'm nowhere near a storage? should I update my code to send this same command with all slots marker ITEM_INVENTORY?

Excellent, thank you both. This gives me a starting point to work from.

Thanks for getting back to me. I now maintain charn, shari and perun and have been actively improving thier code (especially from some exploits that caused them to give away some free items). I'll be working on this issue as well, but i just can't see where on the client side this problem would be created. Items are added to the trade window properly, the slots and emu are available, both sides accept properly, and BAM! trade failed. If anyone on the EL Development side of the house has any idea's, I would greatly appreciate to hear them. I'll share any fix i can find on this thread. I already asked ttlanhil, and he wasn't sure what it could be.

I'm buying an Artificer Cape. If you get one, PM Crosis before selling to someone else, i want to outbid!

I had vista ultimate beta 1 and 2, EL worked on it, but not on the release versions. I have not had time to mess with it, but the REAL fix is to get an OPENGL ICD Driver for your graphics card from your vendor (nvidia has one, and ATI is in beta). You other option is to try this: go to the install dir and open permissions for full read/write access for everyone. right click on the el.exe (or the other executable if you use that one) and mark it to run under xp compatibility and to run as an administrator. Vista's new least user access causes all apps to run as a standard user, and if the app tries to access an API that requires elevated privs, the screen goes grey and you are prompted to provide permission to elevate that application to make the call with your admin rights. Marking it run as admin causes it to run with the admin rights at launch. Using the vista application compatibility toolkit you can also create compatibility shims to assist your app in executing more successfully. It requires some knowledge of the way the app works, and so perhaps doing some testing in a debugger would help determine where the failures are and you can try to shim those api calls using this toolkit. So far noone i know has gotten a set of instructions that gets it working for everyone, so if you have the time to play with this, perhaps documenting your steps would help others. Eventually i will have time to play with it too, and i already build shims for applications, so if i can make a working shim, i'd be happy to share it.

jamincollins, did you happen to figure out what causes this? if you did, could you please share that info? Thanks

This idea would ruin the economy becuase people would be constantly selling. The benefit to the current system is that if the prices being offered are too low, people can just hang on for a better deal.

What if rost's only protected the items equiped, and the rest of your inventory gets the usual 50% loss rate?

I'm totally jealous, but hope you get to keep it as long as possible and make the best use of it!

I'm sure there will be more uses for these ores in the future, but do people really expect these uses to be implemented (or revealed) immediately? or all at once? Give it some time.

I think making vials is more about the EXP. There are many better ways to make gc then making vials.

Dun, run ent's telnet command using a -f C:\debug.log at the end it will dump the info into the log file. you should get the welcome message when you run this telnet command.
