    I think this is a sensible suggestion. As new things have been introduced over time, usually for the higher level players, it has led to inconsistencies for those at lower levels. EL would benefit from standing back & taking a lookat the whole picture, and restructuring level based things where necessary. Of course, this is not a very sexy use of time when compared to new, exciting stuff, but it would imho improve the game experience.

    Game or website, there are obviously network problems (at least from the UK). Looks like they're trying to reroute, but still problems:

    I think this is probably something simple, but I'm at a loss and would be grateful for a kick in the right direction :)

     

    I have compiled the editor from CVS for Linux x86_64, and put the binary in my EL folder. I can load existing maps fine. However, if I start from scratch and try to select a new tile, then there are no tiles shown in the popup window (even if I scroll up and down with +/-). In addition, changes in the mapedit.ini file do not seem to be followed. So for example, changes in resolution, display grid do not have any effect. I also set the data_dir to my EL folder too.

     

    Cheers in advance :)

    Thanks for that blueap. Seems to compile ok now, but there are problems. All icons across top of screen are just solid blocks of colour. No text anywhere. I remember seeing something similar to this in the forums previously, but I haven't found where yet.

    Can anyone suggest what the problem is please?

    Perhaps I should edit my previous post about "best place". It's not about saying go here to do this in the most efficient manner, it's about informing new players how they can make a good start on practicing a new skill. Giving them some incentive rather than them feeling overwhelmed about how difficult this game is, and quitting before they even get going.

     

    Whether you 'poof' an ice dragon armour or not is entirely up to the player.

    I have just tried the alchemy quest (school in tropics in DP, can't remember the NPC name). and I have to say that this strikes me as a really good way to teach new players to the game a lot of stuff about how to play. There is lots of information about the use of essences etc., best places to get raw materials etc. etc. Well done Radu on the idea. What would be really good though is if there was a similar quest for each skill, with the emphasis on giving out information in each case. Perhaps then also when people go to see the priest/priestess of a particular god to become a worshipper, they could be directed to the appropriate quest.

     

    I enjoy doing the quests generally and feel that they bring a lot to the game, but this particular one made an impression on me.

     

    Cheers All!

    I get a segmentation fault with warning.log containing:

     

    File 'terrain.dds' is invalid. A valid DDS file must not set DDPF_LUMINANCE as pixel format flags.

     

    No other error messages in rest of log files.

    Well, I really enjoyed that, and judging by the number of players obviously doing the same thing, so did many others. I appreciate the problems involved in incorporating quests into EL, but I do think it greatly enriches the game and is a worthwhile pursuit.

     

    Thanks for the effort in getting it up and running, but more please!

    OK, so we've got several new perks in the game ..... One, Ethereal Ranger, Wilhelm Tell (why is it this, rather than William btw?), but very little information about them. Would people who have taken these perks or know more about them like to give some info out to the general community?

    Thought I'd try asking this question again now that more people are using Compiz/Beryl. I have exactly the same problem with not being able to alter the gamma correction using compiz-fusion as I did back in March with beryl. Anyone got a suggestion other than not using compiz as windows manager?
