I received a mail from my ISP tech support telling it to me yesterday aefternoon Klug (11:34 AM) : We're using a backup route (through London and other ISP) to the US. but there still are some routing problems ME (11:34 AM) : The backup route does work... ME (11:34 AM) : For some people... ME (11:35 AM) : did they say when they will repair it? Klug (11:36 AM) : "technical support team are investigatin" Klug (11:36 AM) : no news yet. Klug (11:36 AM) : I'll drop you a message as soon as I have news ME (11:36 AM) : oh, ok. Do you think they will fix the routing problems soon? Klug (11:37 AM) : routing problem (from their point of view) is fixed. they consider the issue is by the ISP who do not want to changed their route to the backup one (because more expensive) ME (11:38 AM) : Oh, ok, thanks for the info. Klug (11:39 AM) : https://www.tat-14.com/

I thought you knew they used nuclear reactors to power them.

Whitestone is 4 times bigger than Portland, and has only 4 gargoyles, that move only at night. I guess that's pretty resonable.

What's an ebuild?

It's not a BUG, it's more like... it leads to nowhere.

Hmm, first of all, look if there is a file, error_log.txt in the EL directory. If it is non empty, post it's content here. Second, try to reinstall all the SDL libraries, they might be outdated or something. Also, post your system info.

If one of you would create a torrent thingy, for EL, I'll put the link on the website. But EL is not that popular yet, so I don't think many people will have the client anyway...

Of course

We do plan to have a special character type, for those who donate. But then again, that won't be a doantion, now would it?

The harvest icon is there just in case we ommited a file name in the harvestable.lst, or maybe for some quest purposes, later on. The "You see: " is usefull because, sometimes, their name can be blocked by some object, or because some people chose to press alt+n to disable the names.

Yes, but if the police knows you did it, and they know where you live, and they have proofs you did it, you usually don't get away with it.

We don't have a mill yet...

Isn't it illegal for them to install shit in your computer, without your permission, or using tricks? Especially without offering an uninstall?

Yeah, server side bugs are fixed very fast, while nasty client side bugs are fixed at the next update. Always check the bugs forum..

We don't actually check IPs for multiple connections at the same time, from the same IP, because many people do NAT.

Thalos, so far only you and someone else complained about that bug, and I really can't see how that can happen... But I'll look into the code more...

Maybe later on i'll put the paths in el.ini...

I know that thing, it's all Moon's fault

Your idea is good too, Sander. Anyway, the Gargs will be 'alive' all the time in enclosed spaces, such as buildings, caves, etc. And Grum, Krull is not online all the time

And the Quake way to deal with undeads zombies) is to blow them tp pices, with grenades or rockets

This is a very odd bug, since even if the items just dissapear, the worn items will still show, unless the bug calls the function: unwear_item()

I'll fix that.

Currently, the game has no installer, as you can see, so it's entirely the user's responsibility to do the instalation manually. Later on, after we go past the Beta stage, we'll have 2 installers...

Actually... Velocet idea is VERY good! I can relatively easy make the gargoyles be loyal to a certain guild, that created them. Of course, someone like Krull, Swiss, Prometheus, etc. would still have no trouble pwning the gargoyles and, subsequently, the members.

We will have some more capes, and more armor, but things such as jewlery is... too much work, not to mention increased client size, more network traffic, etc.
