I don't recall ever seeing him in-game, but according to my database he logged off his last visit at 2005-01-22 17:46GMT = January 22.

The update works fine on my computer running Windows XP Pro on a Pentium4 with an Nvidia GeForce FX 5200. My issues are with music, the digital clock, and no-inventory on bag-grab/drop. The music issue is with all versions: On maps where a .pll exists, my audio (both sounds and music) crashes as i cross the geographic boundaries of a song. For instance in DP the song is set for the southern half of the map, and when i go north and exit the music zone, the audio crashes. What i did was ensure that there was at least one playable song for all areas of a given map; it seems that the playlist gets refreshed when you change maps, but not when you change location on a given map.? EDITED: cancel this, i had pasted these two commands above the countervening commands in el.ini - in my haste, i failed to see them farther down in the el.ini file

Makes sense to me, especially if we are staying with the plan to have freeplay and p2p sharing the current continent and not splitting friendships and the community based on the ability to pay a monthly fee. Access to the p2p areas/items can be filtered by a port-checking protocol, as well as IP verification. Of course if/when the community starts to overload the server, then there will be money to split to two servers.

Lord_Vermor: , but not the date! If you are changing the date to Saturday, the 22'nd, would you please edit your first post accordingly? I just got the word from a friend that it had changed. I'll try to have a stats page ready to run at least 4 days prior to the event, to make team selections easier - will edit this post when it is available, and i'll be using this thread for the names, so if people sign up by PM or email, you will need to post them here.

I like the concept, but there will be a large range in the fighting skills, and even though the early rounds can be paired up, setting up pairings in the advanced rounds will be increasingly difficult. ALSO, since healing is not allowed, and Healthpoints are now a very important factor , Will needs to be considered (Health Points= (Will+Physique) * 2.5 ). I suggest that if you get a large number of 'subscribers' you split the fighters up into classes: For 16 or more participants, split into 2 classes of 8, where a+d+p+c+w > nnn is in one class and the rest in the other. I will set up a stats summary page and post a link here, if i know who has signed up. Suggestion to Captain_Smile: put all info in the topic-starter post. Right now you have the participants list in your 4th ? post. Secondly, how to sign up is not clear. Many are posting here, some are probably sending ypu PM's in these forums or in-game, and this post of yours: has me really confused. Please specify sign-up options in the first post.

All i smell is your burnt hair, You shouldn't think so many negative thoughts Leelou, it overheats the brain and causes hair to burn. :lol:

I'd like to give it a try. See you at the library.

Team Captains: Time is drawing near. I suggest you go to this stats page: The Eternal War - November 7, 2004 and use it and the 'chatroom' link at the top to sort out your teams. Then each of you please post your selections here, and update (edit) them as changes occur. I will update the stats page as quickly as I can with the new assignments. (I will try to be in the chatroom with you to get quicker updates)

I wish someone would make up their mind what day it is!! I might be interested in joining the fray! I have a stats page setup waiting for team assignments too at The Eternal War (stats), to help the teams get organized. It seems that monoceros has killed himself, tho. :lol: Also MisanthropicToo has registered two names?: my mistake I'm as confused about the date as you seem to be - READ YOUR OWN POST Lord_Vermor:

I guess you are right. I don't know the real melee formula, but it makes sense that might would be a factor. If anyone knows how to weight these factors: please post here! Modification based on another Boki input (i'll try it on the page before i post it here): is how it exists now, but i'm thinking that dividing attack+defense by 2 is too much unweighting of these skills, may change it to 1.3 ? what do you think ? OK, this is the last change until I get opinions from somebody else, boki: Boki also discovered an error on the page: during one of my edits, i got the stats shifted over one column -but it's fixed now! Watch for your team captain to come online and #join your team! - and have fun!

I had intended this page for the use of the event coordinators and team leaders only, but Lord_Vermour already announced it in-game, so here it is: Revenge In The Ruins 01 stats - file renamed, link removed [served it's purpose] It currently queries the EL server every time you load or refresh the page, producing a load on the game server, so USE IT SPARINGLY !!. You can sort by any column, but it is loaded with a sort on the last column (melee average, explained at the top of page). As the war draws near, it is a means for the team-leaders to see if their team players are online yet, and who isn't online. I hope to set up a database which runs the query every 5 minutes, so the only load will be on MY server. I will post here when I have done that. For Lord_Vermour: I am using your first post for the team-player-names, so that's where I look first for any updates/changes (please put a check in the "Add the 'Edit by'.." box above the 'submit modified post' button, so I'll spot any updates). I will rename the page when the war has started, to reduce load on the game server, and only the participating moderators (you and mojo ?) will get the new name (via in-game PM).

Satan if you weren't so illiterate, you would see that logger would remain on the red team! And to this question: , since there will be no more changes, the BLUE team has already lost, because red team's TARGET: KALEF is still there, but blue team's target is gone :lol:

I posted some information above about the members of two guilds that could easily have been swapped. Next time we do this kind of event, I suggest POSTING a deadline BEFORE you freeze the team structure!

My guild members (-EF-) are split between the two teams: Red: Tidus, logger, ____oZZY_____ Blue: dorplein, demostat,brain_huting I just chatted with SPFDBlackFire, and if his three on the red team: red: jewbean, Raen, chatterbug89 could be swapped with our three on blue team: Blue: dorplein, demostat,brain_huting We would have: Blue: Ferengi Traders (and others) : jewbean, Raen, chatterbug89, silvara, jpb Red: -EF- (and others): Tidus, logger, ____oZZY_____, dorplein, demostat,brain_huting ---------------------------- NOTE: any late addons from either the FT (blue) or the EF (red) guild should specify that they are in that guild and ask to be assigned to that team! Lord_Vermour might be so kind as to accommodate our wishes

The topic starter was about a missing file: grass5.2d and no one in all these replies has acknowledged that the file doesn't exist (we have grass1 thru grass4, no grass5) - there is no video card in this world that is going to INVENT a file-name to look for! I can't say why HIS downloaded client is looking for that file, but I can safely say it isn't the fault of his video card!!! Save the world: Plant a tree. Remove a Bush. plant some grass5.
