well... i'm playing in windowed mode, but the gamma correction apply to the entire desktop (including my programs running in background...). Gamma correction should only apply to the EL window. Is this possible ?

i don't know... I just saw "Also the top might be shown wrong if you or your ISP uses web caches (the delay might be even 1 week)" on the top50 html page...

a very simple way to avoid problems of web caching proxies is to add a timestamp in the GET request, so url would look like : http://el.tfm.ro/top/top50.php?time=35565462 where time is, of course, the time in EPOCH format (number of seconds since the 1st jan 1970). Most proxies don't cache urls if there is a "?" inside (like squid and Isa server). Internet explorer still get the page in its cache, but, as the timestamp changes at each access, there is no more problem.

another idea, in this war against scammer should be tracking the stuff... I know it's hard, but if there is (there was ?) a bag drop logfile and a bag pick logfile, mods should be able to find who got the scammed stuff at the end of the "scamming process"... example : Hammit scams 4efe from placid (yes, it's impossible, cause he's not stupid : he doesn't bagtrade). (Hammit is not the main char of the scammer) hammit disconnect The_real_scammer connects and go to a special place (where there is nobody) The_real_scammer disconnect hammit connects hammit goes to the "special place" and drop the 4 efes hammit disconnect The_real_scammer connects and get the efes whith a logfile logging bag-stuffing the_real_scammer should be "quite" easy to find out. this logfile should use ingame date and time (every user has the same date and time, this way)

if i remember well, this is forbidden by game rules...

i was looking for large quantities of matter essence. o_s told me he could sell me 5000 essence for 20k, but i didn't have the money. He told me to call him back when i have the money. When i call him back (3 days later IRL), he had forgot our deal (first hint). I remerbered him about the deal, and we decided to deal in trasengaard storage. before going to trasengaard, i took a look at is character on http://eternal-lands.solexine.fr/~radu/vie...er.php?user=o_s here are the important points : o_s Main Attributes Physique: 6/6 Coordination: 32/32 Reasoning: 4/4 Will: 4/4 Instinct: 4/4 Vitality: 4/4 Skills Overall: 8/9 2nd hint : how a guy who is only overall 9 can have made more than 5k matter essence ? i went to the trasengaard storage, and here is the log : [PM from o_s: huhu where are you?] [PM to o_s: i'm coming] Welcome to Tarsengaard [PM from o_s: you want 5ýk or more?] [PM to o_s: 5k are enough right now] [MadameYes]: Selling Book of Puma Summoning for 500 gc each in Desert Pines at my gypsy hut near storage. <We could make beautiful music together!> [PM from o_s: ok] o_s was notified, now wait to see if s/he wants to trade with you. [duszek]: buy ex cloak pm me sang_bleu: 300 at a time o_s aborted the trade. o_s: i cant carry 300 [PM from o_s: i do a bag] [alchmaster]: buying efes pm me!! sang_bleu: i don't bagtrade #Just remember to NEVER bagtrade [kanclerz]: seeling full plate You left the channel. o_s: ii can carry only 100 man sang_bleu: so, let's do it 100 buy 100 sang_bleu: 100 by 1000 o_s: it will do 50 trade too mutch sorry then sang_bleu: argggg 100 by 100 sang_bleu: k o_s: what ok ? sang_bleu: if you say it's too much trade, then i abort o_s: ok o_s: thx anyway sang_bleu: bye o_s: byee third hint : he says he want a bagtrade.... tsss tsss tsss. No serious trader bagtrades. Especially if it is the first time you trade with him, and if it's for 20k gold... fourth hint (and obvious proof) : this guy says he can only carry 100 by 100 (he has no armor, no cape or other things on him). But look at his phy/coord. this guy has might=19 so he can carry 380 emu. this is obviously a lie... So, don't trade with o_s, and had him to your pk list...

I like the idea of a blood patch... but it's obvious there must be no blood patch, at least for gamers under 18 (or 16) years old... How can you make the difference between young and adult gamers ? really hard problem, cause a disclaimer is not enough...

i didn't though about server ID for items... it's now obvious to me that making "rings of coordinates teleportation" are (almost) impossible. But making new rings of teleportation is still a good idea to be abble to access many points of the same map... (and/or making more doors in portal rooms) And, as goliath said, i suggest that the crafter have to be in lakeside to make a lakeside ring... etc

And what about a "This coordinate ring" that teleports you to the place where you made the ring (looking at the ring should display the coordinates and map name) ?

i was just thinking about "something" (like the color of the player's name) that shows if he is online / offline or haven't played during one month. Of course, everybody on the "players online" is online, but you can also directly access to the player's page (example : http://eternal-lands.solexine.fr/~radu/vie...hp?user=Platyna ) this information should be given here. what do you think ? and what about a list of ALL players ? (i'm sure this question has already been asked)

Hi, In the game, when server send us raw text "standard" message, it is send in full ascii (exactly there is a null char first, and a unsigned char to say how long is the packet after - and a char for color too). i think about "too heavy you are overloaded", "you stopped harvesting", "your exp level as reach limit" etc... what about creating a new token for theese messages, whith just token-length-color-id (4 bytes in total) where the id corresponds to an array (or a text file) line of the client which contain th full message. That could save some bandwith. Of course, as i don't know the proportion of theese packets, i don't know if that is really usefull

I understand why the effects of def potions are not cumulative. but the effect of the potions should be cumulative whith the gods blessings, because these "extra points" don't have the same origin. for example : drinking a def potion give 5 def points (devreasing 1 per minute) being blessed by def god gives 8 def points (devreasing 1 per minute) but drinking def potion and being blessed within the same minute only gives +8 where it should give +13

It should be a good idea, when talking to NPC, to automatically sit down. This way, it's more easy for everybody to talk to storage NPC, for exemple... the end. this was a short idea
