Strange things happen to my inv numbers. Hi guys, just grabbed a latest CVS and did a default 'make release', works a treat as always but all the numbers in the bottom of my inv have changed, ie was 1 10 25 100 300 1000, now has 100 300 1000 360 638, or something like that. Very strange. Also my windows are all over the place. I keep 3 copies of CVS binaries, the previous one is fine, but on connecting I got a read the rules and wait 5 secs, very odd, but the inv numbers are what I expect, and the windows are where I expect them. Its not a problem to correct, just real odd. Did I miss something, I've not read the Programming forum for a while JasperCat Linux 32 bit, default make.default no changes. Ubuntu 7.04 fully updated, nothing too weird.

My first invasion, excellent, pace is really fast and its amusing to watch lines of peeps race across maps. Nice to know whats coming up and if your up to that class of beast its great. As an allrounder it was a real treat. If only the phone hadnt rung 9/10 do it again anyday. JC

Hi, Current CVS is VERY dark under linux, both day and night. Also I get a 30~40 FPS slowdown compared to the vanilla client. This is using minimap compiled in . Thanks for the bouncy numbers and red cursor, both very nice additions. Minimap could be a great asset for hunting. Cheers JC EDIT : forgot to mention , upping gamma past 1.2 has no effect either.

It's not a command, its a client. Under Linux you need to compile it yourself, enabling the new NEW_ACTOR_SCALE flag in make.defaults. If you don't know how to do this you will need to get a Linux client from a friend, but be very careful to match all the library versions and locations (read: prone to many, many bugs). You basically need to have identical installs of the OS. Most "standardised" distros (ie. those with standard locations for things) of the same release version should work. Could the library version mismatch not be avoided by compiling a static version of the linux client ?

OK, thanks ttlanhil. I'm going to restore a backup from a few days ago and use that for now. Yes I did check the GL gamma code to see what was up, but it looked OK to my horribly un-educated C/C++ eye. In the meantime I'll keep an eye on CVS and compile as usual, I don't think anything major has changed here in the last few days, but I always grab any OS updates as a rule, and blindly trust them FYI this is Edgy Eft 32 bit with NVidia 9631. I may go back to Feisty and try it, but it has a horrible crackly speaker bug in Feisty's sound. Thanks for your time, I'll let you know if I pin it down. JC

I don't think so, as if I use the default game client from the distro I can turn it up over 1.20 and see it get brighter. If I use current cvs [vanilla, as it comes from berlios] anything over 1.20 has no effect. JC Edit : This also was not the case with CVS a few days ago, perhaps 3 days.

Gamma still appears to be capped at 1.20. You wont believe how many CVS clients I have rolled this morning trying to find the offending DEF, but even a plain old 'vanilla' make.defaults as it comes from CVS has this cap, and is a little dark for me. JC

I'm using the NEW_LIGHTING, good point. I will try without and see what the results are. One thing I did notice when dropping F9 lights to illuminate a bit was that only the first F9 casts any illumination. The other lights appear, flame away, smoke like a trooper but give off no visible light. OK, I rolled up a new CVS with an unchanged make.defaults, lighting is OK, FPS is same as vanilla, all seems OK. Thanks BeaverHunter JC

I have a Physique Removal Stone for sale. Leave a bid or contact me ingame. Ends Tue 10th June 18:00 GMT JasperCat EDIT : Auction ends, winner is Beaver, for 40k

Fantastic! 32 bit works as expected, no problems, blood works, eye_candy works, framerate is fine. Many thanks to the people responsible, JasperCat

Hi, Linux client CVS as of 18:00 ish GMT today crashes when I try to do a remote heal with eye candy on. Remove eye candy checkbox and all OK. I can however see other peoples Remote Heal candy at sto. Yesterdays CVS was fine, if that helps. System 2.5GHz, NVidia 128Mb gfx, avg 80fps, Ubuntu Feisty Fawn 7.04 all updated. Regards JC Update : Only happens in the cellar room , between caves and EVTR map. Odd.

Your right, it should be in bug reports, I never even saw it the other night Bug gone now as of 20:40 CVS (GMT) today. JC

On the latest linux client when I clear the manu window with the clear button, I get 'You can't harvest here' message in console. And thanks muchly I really appreciate the new features in the latest updates, thanks again. JasperCat

I'm with Entropy and LadyReni on this subject, the more I play EL [couple of years now] the less I care about money. Sure I spent 3 months saving up for a Crown of Life, but I didn't really WORK at money making. I find more pleasure from dropping a suprise present on people who are working their way up the levels than from accruing cash. Its the giving, not the earning. You'll probably find a lot of the more experienced or long term players feel the same as well. Stuck with 20 Uni meds ? Go drop 4 or 5 on a friend who REALLY needs them, I bet you get a better 'glow' than earning 100k gold, I know I do. That said , its gonna take me ages to save up for Steel plate set, but hey , just think of all the FUN I'll have in the meantime .

I'm using the latest CVS on linux (Ubuntu 6.10) and it looks better somehow, almost clearer. The mix window is fantastic However I have lost CTRL-N for Notes, anybody else lose Notes ? JasperCat Scourge of Raccons

What about HobGoblins ? I can get the stats if you want ? deCat

Perhaps a nice addition would be some variety to the good old Fur Cloak. There are a lot of unusable furs available now like Tiger, Black Panther, leopard etc they could give some very fetching Fur Cloak patterns. Perhaps also a range of stats for the cloak, ranginf from +2 cold protection, -1 heat protection through to the current +6 cold, -3 heat ? Combined with say White Rabbit, or a Feran Horn or something for variety. I personally would love a Tiger Fur Cloak, but I am a cat JasperCat Bane of Racoons

I can manage the code if I have the normal fur cloak example, anyone care to Gucci the gfx ? and suggest some combinations for manu and values for them for heat/cold? I suppose we could have a poll at the end for the type of skin against values etc. Open to suggestions I really want a Tiger cloak I'm willing to work for it . JasperCat 'Ebul Skunk Annihalator'

Hello I wish to protest this case of HobGoblinism that is prevalent in the game. I kill lots of Hobgoblins, my kills counter tells me I have killed > 50 'things' today, however the HobGoblins have no entry in the 'kills' list. I think this is speciesism, I mean bunnies get on the list, even sprites but Hobs ........nope! Also they where missed out from the spawn poll. Just something I noticed. JasperCat Latest Linux client not CVS EDIT : Please cancel post I just found them.......Thanks Ent

I love, repeat LOVE the new speed of alchemy regarding Health Essences, however, whats with 1 Life essence per 4 seconds ?? An LE is 2 lvls lower than a HE, so should be quicker, not like 8 times slower. 59 Alc btw. Also I am failing SR a lot more and they take longer now. I dont mind I would just like to know why, curious you see. Pot 42 btw JasperCat

It appears Leather Gloves are classed as Weapons and can be stored. Should this not be armor ? Minor I know, but when you make 20 pairs for harvesting sulfur, then find you can't store them in Misc/Clothes/Armor. Go to trik and sell all but 1 pair and decide to carry them around regardless, then find after fighting that Gloves are classed as a weapon!! Minor but still Peeved. Jasper and Portia The Cats

When I walk and mix, even no fail stuff like mana pots, I never fail a pot, I just get .... "You started working..." "You stopped working" No fail message. Its a bug no ?
