  1. AiiDz Simple Bag Jump

    Two remarks: - OP was not the one losing his bag, so the last phrase seems off-topic in this thread - You don't seem to recognise the taking of bags an offence, which is your (known) opinion and your right; a lot of others do, so report here and like to know who cannot be trusted around a bag, which is their right (I'm with the latter group)
  2. lead and lead based armor

    Hmm, what I remember from radiography, the personnel involved hid behind a wall at the moment the radiation came on. So they might not wear lead aprons all the time, they do protect themselves even for low-risk operations (radiography). Logical, since all doses are considered cumulative over life. As for other operations, lead protection is only needed for X-ray and gamma radiation, not for the other forms.
  3. ok, I won't quote Seriously,my apologies to Rehdon for misquoting him through misunderstanding his post, I think we are mixing up two kinds of 'fighters' here: PK-ers, and a/d trainers. I have to agree with the person who said that the PK-ers with HoS perk etc. and only human nexus shouldn't complain about not earning enough, they made a choice and will have to live with it (or reset...). And I see no reason why a/d training should easily pay for top-level PK gear, where a mixer has difficulties getting a price high enough to cover ingredients. The more so, since PK _as_a_whole_ only destroys equipment/resources, so it is and always will be a gc sink. I can see why prices are lower than cost, so (as a mixer) I do a lot of harvesting, thereby getting net gc from my mixing. If the mixers reasoned the same way as PKers (i.e. 'We should be able to only mix and live of it without all that annoying harvesting'), see how much could be produced (HE, ME, diss and tele rings, medallions...) (as an example, I'd guess I spend at least 2-3h harving for every h a/d and mixing, and that gives me enough profit to use Ti plate when I feel like it for training, but not enough to burn 1 or 2 rostos every invasion) Again, this is against PK-ers that feel they should not have to work for their hobby, through long monster killing, or harving and mixing (and I don't mind the high experience rates in a/d training, it requires attention, carries risks, and I profit from it myself...) And NO I don't think a/d training should (easily) pay for high level PK gear as long as mixing doesn't allow the same (again, those that cannot harvest _chose_ that character build, those negative perks are called _negative_ for a reason...)
  4. I just want to thank you for opening my eyes with your impeccable logic: sure, it's all these players' fault, they choose to play the fighter role and what do they ask for? just that, being able to self sustain with monster drops while they develop their character as they have chosen to!!! Oh, the arrogance, the arrogance, and the constant whining about such an unreasonable demand, they really are shameless. Who do they think they are? As if they were an important part of the economy, buying lots of stuff produced by frustrated mixers, who can't advance in experience as fast as them. [snipped] Rehdon Nice if a fighter can support himself with just fighting... Why the H*** do you deny the same right to a mixer then (what is what you are doing when you refuse to pay enough to cover ingredients+food)? I'm not even talking about costs of books needed to make the items you like so much (check the ings and books for diss rings once, if you can spare the 5 min from fighting) Fighters should be allowed to do what they like best 24h/24 and the mixers have to see how they manage? And if someone remarks that some fighters have chosen to be unable to harv/mix, he gets nailed to the post.... I'll stop before I really speak my mind (don't want to get a forum ban) Just to clarify, I don't mind how a player develops his character, but I do feel he should accept the consequences in the game AS IS and not require the game to be adapted to his likes. EDIT: this is not against Rehdon or any player in particular, just the generalised whining about price increases for fighters.
  5. newhope bagjumper

    On that note, I've seen disputes where someone got nailed to wall on weaker proof than NewHope showed in the first post here (where he accused nobody of bag jumping btw!) And, I have yet to see a post here about newhope bag jumping anyone fighting against the mare Buls, let alone a post with anything resembling proof. All I can say to those complaining is 'put up, or shut up' Frankly, I find the way the guy is attacked here (and was attacked in ch.6) disgusting... (double measures, anyone?)
  6. Ring of teleport to range

    Just an additional little detail concerning hydro: iirc, you cannot tptr over the last obstacle in one go, so the cool-down on a ring might be somewhat unpleasant... (I'm trying to avoid spilling secrets. )
  7. I met RevengeKiller (~mA~ guild) twice now in Melinis ogre spawn, both times he came in well after me... two screen shots, no further comments (chatlogs available if more is needed)
  8. Sto Clearance - Also Buying Few Things

    2k Magic essence for me pls
  9. Encyclopedia Errata

    Lion isn't at the proper place in the list anymore (I don't know where it should be now, but definitely after panda bear, those I can handle, Lion not anymore since 2 or 3 server updates ago :^) ) Edit: creatures list that is :/
  10. New engine test 4

    You might try here: http://intellinuxgraphics.org/
  11. bot owners...

    Hi, could Alberich and me (ingame revi) be added as maintainers for the following bots: Charn, (guild/trade bot) Shari (guild/trade bot) Perun (Guard bot) ? thanks
  12. I understand that the new client is in portage now so Gentoo users at least should be OK. I also noticed a 1.8.0 build available as SUSe rpms, so at least some distributions provide EL builds (with a few days delay of course ) link is: EL packages for SUSe (note that these are not official SUSe builds, the repository is referenced by SUSe though)
  13. Bug in Screenshot saving

    but please, give this warning after saving the last image possible (or a few before), don't give it for the first image that cannot be saved... Rather nasty if the shots were taken as proof of serping or rule breaking As another option: have the client create a new directory?
  14. Instance 60 to 80 testing

    Exactly my problem: on main: a/d 59/64 on test: a/d 53/59 ...
  15. one of the reasons I still make/harvest most of my base ingredients is that I like to end up with a bit more gc than I started with... for instance silver bars take 8 silver ore, 3 coal and 4 FE, total worth 24+6+12 = 42 gc. they sell for about 40 gc. and so on for a lot of other items.. (mercury is nice as well ; 2cinnabar, 1 energy essence for 2 mercury : 11+ gc for 10 gc market value) And note that I did not count in food yet, nor fails...
  16. Emote codes for the client

    if the choice of prefix character is determined by using/not using shift/alt/ctrl keys, please remember that a lot of ppl use non-US keyboard layouts. For me (French azerty), '%', '/', '.' [dot] are shifted, '[' and ']' need the AltGr modifier... So, whichever sign you pick, someone will probably have to use a modifier key to reach it. As for little used signs, I could suggest 'ยค', rarely used for anything
  17. Quite clear. However : 1. There are already clock and compass images with transparent(?) background 2. The clock and compass images are in a bmp file containing several/a lot of other images (gamebuttons2.bmp for the opaque backgrounds, gamebuttons.bmp for transparent backgrounds) and 3. faces for the clock and compass are different between those 2 files. So the solution of creating an alpha map is not really all that evident _in_this_case_
  18. I use a/d indicators regularly, and at fairly regular times. Since a couple of days, they only show neutral astrology for both att and def. I use them (among other times) between 8h and 9h in the morning (GMT+2). Is this pure chance or did something get disconnected during the last update? Or is it a client problem? I'm running a CVS client, downloaded 2008-09-03, around 14:50 (timezone GMT+2). Hope this is enough information
  19. a/d indicators only show 0 a/d astro

    I checked again myself as well, and this time it did change (-1,-1). My apologies for wasting your time.
  20. I was training ranging this night, and got 3 levels. However, at reaching each level, EL client crashed with a segfault. I'm using the official client version 1.7 under Linux (SuSE 10.3), with latest NVidia drivers. in /var/log/messages I found this line for each of the 3 crashes : kernel: el.x86.amd64.bi[547]: segfault at ffffff7e00b67b10 rip 000000000051ba6f rsp 00007fffdc196b38 error 4
  21. And if so, if you can run it under gdb and post the backtrace here that would be helpful. OK, that seems to have solved the problem (whatever it was... ) EDIT: spelling
  22. Can you compile your own client from the CVS? Yes, I'll try that. Anything you want me to look for?
  23. MrDeKke

    Just for clarification : I see ppl referencing to Dekke and MrDekke as the same person/character/player. Are the two names the same player? or the same character?
  24. In-game references

    Not all of us can receive British television..... so please complain to all the national broadcasters that did not show Red Dwarf :^) (and please, please, please insist it is in the original version, not dubbed )
  25. Selling it all

    nvm, I misread :/
