the update

Recommended Posts

Now if only we could find someone to do the client missile code, so we can have the missiles too... :P

 

Yep, can't wait to have those. But I'd say this is a significant improvement under many regards (engineering almost fully operational, more space in storage, new sound system, 3D improvements, minimap etc.). I sort of tended to forget it because I used a CVS-compiled version with most of the new goodies, yesterday I tried the old 1.40 version and the difference shows.

 

To those who aren't happy with the new looks: experiment a little with the perspective slider (Adv Video tab of the preference window) increasing the default, you'll be surprised to see how it can influence your perception of the 3D models (and of the 3D world surrounding it).

Well, the new update ROCKS!!!

 

CHEERS!! to every single person who had a part in it!! i know there are probably many!!

 

The new mini map, and #sto command, are absolutely GREAT!!! you guys/gals put alot of work into this one, and deserve a pat on the back from all!!

 

new looks... new MANU stuff... new skill.. new old maps ( which is going to take some getting used to nothing big, but different)

 

I thought i never had enough time to work on my skills before... lol... now i have even MORE skills to work on and less time lol :P

 

Thanks for all the dedication and hard work!! keep it up!!

Where to get the mix formules of tailoring items? I can't find them...

 

There is one formula availible atm, but it wasn't released. We have to figure it out :P

 

As for the update, I love it! I wont say much about the new models, so I don't start something, but I REALLY like them, soooo much more realilistic.

 

Sounds of course are awesome, really like all the new features. Url box, mini-map, you can select stuff in console mode now too.

 

Also I like the new maps 'n stuff, thanks to Acelon, and, i *think* Sistema for maps. (I'll go look that up now)

 

All togather a very solid update, thanks to everyone who brought it togather. :)

I love the new update! At first, I thought "Meh, I don't like my new character that much..." But now, I absoutely love his appearence!

 

Also, thanks a bunch to the developers for the encyc update! Engineering five within ten minutes thanks to the simple ashes forumla. I am curious though, to see one of the new tailoring items... If somebody could post screenies, that'd be cool.

Great Job on the update! I knew someone who was trying out the mini-map and I could't wait until that feature was implemented. I absolutely love it. And BTW thank you very much for bringing back the notepad.:P Now I won't forget anymore hyperbag coords again! :)

All fine for me. I did a small testing on the RC and I'm fine with it all.

Except I was just using the sounds a moment ago ... I got annoyed so quickly I turned them off already.

Sorry to say, but the sound when you eat something (in my case: fruits) is grossing me out and makes me feel like puking.

 

Other then that.. looks like a good update.

Love everything ('cept the new fighting style, but I'll get used to it), the sounds fascinate me, now to do some exploring, cause I just KNOW there is more secrets in this game now more than ever....

I love the update: minmap, sounds really bring the game alive and a list of

other things I cannot recall at the moment. One big thing, the fighting has slowed down, its great, the fighting

has really turned into the battle I hoped for. Get 2-3 fights going on around you at you can really feel it, its

great :medieval:

The new clothes with the update will rock. I can't wait for a Santa Hat! And I just seen Roja sitting at the beam trying on some new clothes. WOW! The Robes look excellent! As do the Cowboy hats!

 

Haha, a certain bird told me Acelon also has a cloak, but it looks like a dress :P

So very happy!! :D:w00t::w00t:

 

It's a whole new world! I'm very pleased that my old computer maintains the same FPS as with every previous update. It may be low, but EL is still playable.

 

A few points:

 

A mighty "Thank You!!!" to all the volunteers who worked on the update! There are so many of you, it's hard to list each individual but everybody who helped is listed here in Entropy's update post: http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/index.p...mp;#entry399974 Very much worth a look and a blessing to each!

 

Should we be posting any problems, bugs, issues, etc. in the Help section or here on General. It looks to be a whole number of disorganized threads with many repeated questions. Maybe a temporary new client troubleshooting category would help?

 

I seem to be getting a very slight delay in response to my typing and mouse clicking compared to earlier clients. Chances are this is due to my Model A PlaySkool computer, but I'm curious if anyone else experiences this.

 

I'd like to know if it is legitimate and legal to alter some sound files. My battle cries are scaring my cats :P . I don't want to turn the Character sounds all the down but I have found that I can tone down the file volume individually using Audacity. Just asking permission here, actually...

 

Again, the update is fantastic! I thank the Devs no end!!

Changing the sound files is ok.

The problems should be posted in the help section, in my thread there, AFTER reading the other threads to see if the problem has been addressed somewhere else.

Yes it's fine to do that..I will eventually have a patch for the sound pack that fixes stuff like this in a month or more.

Hi all :D , the update is simply awesome. As I tested RC1, RC2, RC3 and was using the char models for sometime, I feel ok with the new character models. Now I think that they are more proportionate, more realistic and far far gorgeous than before, specially the face of the draegonai :devlish: . Though the body seems to bit odd for the draegonai atfrist, but changing the perspective accordingly, it seems all ok. Those who thinks that the chars are still not good than before, I would ask that give it a few more time and you will see that these chars are actually better than before :)

 

Reguarding other stuffs, to me the best inclusion in the update is the new sound engine, which brings more realism to the game.

 

The Minimap and the snares, mines, caltrops are another big feature for the update, specially useful for the PKers, so the engineering will be much more demanding and will be reguarded as one of the important skills :dry:

 

The new system of the GUI is very much needed and much much better than before, specially the '#sto' command, the magic spell icons, url window and lots more.

 

Not to mention the new hour/day/dawn&dusk warnings are very helpful for all the ppls ingame :P

 

New fighting moves have now been implemented to make fighting more realistic.

 

New sections added to counters - events and breaks. should make working out statistics easier if you are so minded lol.

 

Others things are simply great inclusion in game. Thanx to Entropy, Roja, Torg, Learner and all the developers of the game for making such a great game and making it free. Now I cant wait for the next invasion. :(

- The game runs smoother.

- The characters look great, they are so beautiful.

- The targeting and changing of directions is responding better and more accurately.

- The fighting is great.

- Although it looks and runs better, the FPS seems to stay the same or even with a slight increase for me.

- And it comes with a notepad.

- We also got a counter for Mother nature getting pissed off, so cool.

 

And still supporting not only the Mac but also the PPC.

 

What to say... Great! Thanks everyone for your work! :dry:
