  2. New Spell Ideas

    I know ppl have mentioned fireball or lightening, but I'd like to see the old "magic missile" type spell. * You can use the same graphic engine as arrows, to minimize coding Low level "missile" spell: * Sigils: move air matter * Cost: 1 earth, 1 air, 3 mana * Damage to target similar to training arrow, goes up with magic lvl * Gives both magic and ranging exp If you want a fireball: * Sigils: move air fire * Cost: 1 fire. 1 energy, 1 air, 5 mana * Damage similar to fire arrow * magic & ranging exp If you want an ice bolt: * Sigils: move air water energy * Cost: 1 water, 1 energy, 1 air, 5 mana * Damage similar to ice arrow * magic & ranging exp If you want a magic missile: * Sigils: move air magic * Cost: 1 magic, 1 energy, 1 air, 5 mana * Damage similar to magic arrow * magic & ranging exp If you want a lightening bolt: * Sigils: move air death * Cost: 1 death, 1 energy, 1 air, 5 mana * Damage similar to a magic crossbow bolt Want a ranged snare? * Sigils: temporary destroy move * Cost: 1 magic, 2 earth, 1 energy, 1 air, 10 mana * Operates like a snare when it succeeds * magic exp only (it's not a ranged weapon kind of thing) Tweak as necessary to balance * weight of essies similar to weight of arrow * cost of essies + mana (SR equiv) similar to cost of arrow * accuracy similar to short bow... maybe accuracy pots help?
  3. Game Crash

    The current repository is at https://github.com/raduprv/Eternal-Lands and it already contains a fix. The berlios link is also working again. Are the two repositories kept in sync? I'll switch to the github one... just thought I'd check. Possibly the "Source Code from GIT" link on the Download page should be updated if there is a newer repository location. Thanks for the info! Much appreciated as always. Rhonan
  4. Game Crash

    For what it's worth, the bug also exists when using a Linux client. There are a couple possible workarounds. 1) Make a self-directed symlink so that the client thinks that 2dobject/2dobject/ground does exist. 2) If you're on another type of client and don't have the ability to use symlinks, you can just copy the whole directory as a subdirectory of itself. It's less than 3MB. (Do this however you copy a folder into itself on your Windows/Mac/whatever client) Once the game is able to find the file, problem solved. Obviously, the guild map needs to be corrected. Although having a missing file corrupt the program stack is a bit ... um..... yeah. Currently I can't access developer.berlios.de web service go get instructions to access the git repository. Did it move? If it becomes available (or if it moved and the link from the downloads page is updated), I'll see about coming up with a code patch and submitting it. Thanks! Rhonan
  5. Competition Chinese new Year 4710 on 23. January 2012

    Well, I would guess that the name of the Forest of the Fall image is a hint. It's an anagram. So the coords could be something like [366,496]. That puts it in the range of smaller maps, I think. And I'd guess that IotF is a good place to search, since it's all about forgetting....

  9. OpenGL 2

    Don't use make -f Makefile.linux for the opengl2 client. make a folder called build outside the source tree and cd to it. run: cmake ../path/to/source/tree/ and then make (inside the build folder) Thanks for the build hint. I haven't used cmake before. I saw people refer to it in posts about Windows and thought it was a Windows thing. You may want to create a brief BUILD file explaining the simple procedure to cut down on questions later. As an FYI, using the most current (beta) version of glm ( glm-0.9.3.B ) produces the following error: In file included from /usr/include/glm/./core/func_exponential.hpp:121:0, from /usr/include/glm/glm.hpp:100, from /tmp/elsrc/Eternal-Lands/engine/prerequisites.hpp:55, from /tmp/elsrc/Eternal-Lands/engine/rstartree.hpp:15, from /tmp/elsrc/Eternal-Lands/engine/rstartree.cpp:8: /usr/include/glm/./core/func_exponential.inl: In member function ‘T glm::detail::compute_log2<PATH>::operator()(const T&) const’: /usr/include/glm/./core/func_exponential.inl:98:110: error: invalid application of ‘sizeof’ to incomplete type ‘boost::STATIC_ASSERTION_FAILURE<false>’ /usr/include/glm/./core/func_exponential.inl:98:111: error: template argument 1 is invalid /usr/include/glm/./core/func_exponential.inl:98:143: error: invalid type in declaration before ‘;’ token make[2]: *** [engine/CMakeFiles/elengine.dir/rstartree.cpp.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [engine/CMakeFiles/elengine.dir/all] Error 2 make: *** [all] Error 2 Using the most recent stable glm ( glm-0.9.2.7 ) works ok. Thought you might want to know in case the beta version goes stable at some point and breaks things in the EL code.
  10. OpenGL 2

    Looks like things are shuffling around. I downloaded the git repository and attempted to compile on Linux. It complains about 2d_objects, which looks like it was moved to map_editor/, and if I try to compile map_editor, it complains that particle_sys_def is not defined anywhere, and I can't find a typedef in the source for it. Is there a particular branch for code that should always at least compile? or am I just completely missing something. (I didn't see any docs or instructions on how to do a make, so I just attempted make -f Makefile.linux) thx, Rhonan
  11. EL 1.9.2 RC2

    If I switch back to RC1 client, then return to RC2, my spell quickbar is cleared. Generally, the game is faster for me, as it is now using both of the CPUs. I can get much higher FPS than before. Thanks!
  12. I completed the Black Dragon for Novac using an arrow. A guild member was tanking at the time as well. I got the kill on my kill counter, but I didn't get a pop-up message, and Novac still thinks I need to kill one. How can I avoid this in the future? Thanks!
  13. Client patch for Windows and Linux data

    Linux: Fedora 12 i686 Using the NEW_TEXTURES seems to break custom clothing. I even wiped out the old custom folder. It re-downloaded fine, but I don't see the custom meshes. If I compile without NEW_TEXTURES in an attempt to get custom clothing back, the client segfaults. (Might just be some ifdefs missing.) Let me know if it's an easy fix, or if it needs further investigation on my end.

  14. Xaquelina Harv Quest stuck with PV task

    Yes, some spots have more than 1 plant of the required flower, and only 1 works. I.e. Taasengard or GP tasks. The recommendation is always the same, step in the correct coordinate and pick the closest flower. Thats true, but talking about the PV valerian: There is only one flower to click on. Piper In TG I've had issues trying both flowers.... and the solution was to stand closer. If you're simply too far away, it doesn't count.
  15. Client crash: out of memory

    Ah... of course... static for portability. Now... where is the "superfast" target?
