  1. Programing the first EL client

    They were. * Hello world IDENTIFICATION DIVISION. PROGRAM-ID. hello. PROCEDURE DIVISION. DISPLAY 'Hello world!'. STOP RUN. And i am pretty sure, that when Learner was a toddler, he was riding on dinosaurs or saber toothed tigers! Piper Edit: Or, if you need it the hard way: : hello CR ." Hello world!" CR ; ok hello Hello world! My first CompSci classes required me to hand in punch cards along with the printout of the program and the run
  2. Programing the first EL client

    Lol ... you should look inot the APL language ... would be MUCH shorter!
  3. Programing the first EL client

    I actually did some of my programming on a PDP 8e, so that system looks modern!
  4. sound files for windows are corrupted

    Is it possible there is something like AV s/w that is corrupting the the download?
  5. resyncs question

    Keep in mind that the patch that is out now is out for testing. So, not everyone should be running it. Best if it is installed only by those that have some skill to help debug issues. This is NOT a released patch yet!
  6. Concerning bagjumping

    No, bags aren't supposed to be safe, even if you hit a tele nexus. DON'T USE BAGS! Or be willing to suffer the consequences if you do. You can lag out, the bag can poof, you can get tported, and invasion could happen, etc. DON'T USE BAGS!
  7. Forgotten Password

    Entropy is the only one that will help him. The PW recovery system is to pay him and convince him that it is really your character. He and I are they ONLY ones that have access to passwords, and he has that responsibility.. Of course if someone does piss off all the mods, then Entropy is not likely to look favorably on their case.
  8. Concerning bagjumping

    Just don't use bags!
  9. Adding a new hotkey to the client

    Never underestimate the stupidity of some people using macros. Entropy caught one the other day that broke his macro by accidentally moving a window so his mouse click for storage stopped working. He has the ultimate saw in what should or should not be allowed in the way of controls to make things easier. After all, we want people to be involved playing the game, not just tapping keys.
  10. the new FCW spawns

    It's not expected that newbs would be training on C2, so that's not an issue.
  11. Cancel Reading option

    why should a coding issue be applied as a penalty to the playerbase? disable the feature on this day? people who play eternal lands have to do plenty of thinking from the very start of the game , that and the incredibly severe consequences of your actions in EL ( and yet another being proposed here by complete loss of a book if you want to stop reading it) are two of the reasons why the non thinking mmo's are populated in the hundreds of thousands. Dont get me wrong , I like the slower aproach of EL but the fascination with everything having to have some severe consequence is not the most enticing of environments for casual gamers I dont even think the option is necessary , but its definately not necessary to punish people over something as casual as this suggestion. When dreaming up ideas, the amount of work vs how much it will be used MUST be taken into account. Since stopping reading is something that would not be used very often at all, every little thing suddenly becomes much more expensive and time is better spent on other things instead. Also, with ever bit of complexity that is added, the higher the chance it will break and it increases that chance of breaking horribly. Think of some of the dup dropblems we've had. The Fourth item was to leave it open for others to add on.
  12. Cancel Reading option

    First of all, the book has already been removed from your inventory when you start reading, that means to return the book it must be recreated. Secondly, on fast reading days it would be abused by constantly starting/stopping reading until you get it instantly. Third, to make people actually think in game about the consequences of their actions and to think ahead a little bit. Fourth ... Add a 1-6h cooldown on stopping/re-reading the book and you cannot abuse "print day". Considering how the current cooldowns are implement do you really want something with a 1hr-6hr cooldown? If you want to have a chance of implementing, the solution needs to be simple or it won't be worth the time to add!

  14. money bug on test?

    Did it go to your storage? If the person trading you pulled it from storage, it will automatically go to storage.
  15. Stuff that should be addressed.

    I totally agree that this definitely needs to be fixed. You can break the 320k per hour on single fluffy at mid 90s a/d but you get a max of 240k an hour on dchim when you reach the appropriate a/d level and build. That doesn't seem very fair. Yes, it needs fixing ... looks like too much expo from Feros & really excessive exp from Lorc!
  16. The drops the monsters have (including Invasion Tokens) and the fact that there will be no additional invasions (not even GIWS) had better be enough incentive to clear out the last few or why bother with invasions at all?
  17. How to cook meat - no longer stone age

    Summoners must just love you for using all of their meat!
  18. you don't understand how the NPC's are handled. Even you proposed solution would require adding code in 20+ locations and need to access information that code currently doesn't have access to at all.
  19. One word of warning ... you will need to convince Entropy of the changes because specifying the amount will require totally rewriting the NPC's and possibly a protocol change as well. This is not just a GUI issue.
  20. playing the game from different computers

    rsync can work in either direction. copy either to or from depending on how you do it.
  21. Idle Animations

    Another solutions is standing idle, sitting idle, on horse idle sets of animations.
  22. More Zoom-out level

    Only if both Roja and Entropy approve it!
  23. More Zoom-out level

    Can you imagine what it would look like to zoom out that far and then squeeze it into a portable device? I'd have to squint to see myself! the Low res benefit comes from the low res of the screen, not an extreme zoom.
  24. make HyperBags more safe

    No! All bags are supposed to be at risk, including hyperbags! If you want it safe, use Storage!!!
  25. Free Boosie

    It's not in the rules to unlock repeat offenders. Aislinn did you a favor by unlocking so you could play, then you slapped her in the face, so she took back the favor. Considering the misrepresentation made to her, this entire episode definitely falls under rule 25 if you must have a rule to go by!
