Interesting idea, why don't we have a map with a volcano? One where you can walk up a small path all the way to the top and then an even smaller path down inside, and lava at the bottom? This "add quote" thing is kinda cool

I'm trying to put a link to my guild in my siggy, but it keeps getting changed to http://www.eternal-lands.com/ Is there a bug in the forum software?

Yes, but you won't be able to see it. Because you buy the wrong kind? I always use square meat. Because a round box is way too hard to make. Very likely. There are more than one 911 operator working. Someone needs to be able to answer the phone when he/shee goes to the bathroom. Because your freezer was too cheap to put in a light. My parents freezer does have a light. It would ruin the show. Goofy was meant to be a rat, not a dog.

Do you have reasons for not liking the idea, except that *you* don't need it? Like, any bad things about it? Do you see any reasons why it shouldn't be done, even if others like the idea? What I'm trying to find out here is whether your "don't like it" should be more like "don't care" or "no way".

It should. I have had /usr/local/games/eternal-lands readonly ever since ~/.elc got implemented.

Is this poll for the guys only?

Well, seems there is lot of things that this forum can't handle, it can't even display old threads as read, even when we've read them plenty of times and posts disappear all the time, even answers to direct questions from mods. Good thing EL.com page works better then, maybe you should hire the same people to fix your forum...

EL will never win without cheating. PS: If anyone disagrees, prove me wrong. Next month. It's too late to not cheat in this month.

SDL generates some kind of focus event. It's the one that was suggested to use to prevent the DirectX bug (EL stealing ICQ messages). It will require extending the protocol, but apart from that shouldn't be hard to do.

I vote yes Why? Because my no vote was deleted, apparently I'm not allowed to vote against Entropys ideas.

Tabs? Oh, nedit is a graphical editor? Then it doesn't use stdin That's why it works. It wouldn't work with vi or other tty editor (unless the author played tricks with reopening /dev/tty). Looks like you're missing OpenAL

Resolving the hostname is only done once - before connecting. There's no way it could cause a ping between 2 and 29 seconds. (At least not as long as EL uses TCP. A sufficiently creative programmer would be able to make it affect the ping with UDP, by doing a DNS lookup for every packet, instead of saving the reply).

I have the same problem, and I have firefox set up to delete cookies when I close it - I.e. cookies have been deleted lots of times without helping.

Reminds me of a story in an english textbook back in school. A man get's pulled over by a cop in the UK. Man: Yes? Officer: You're driving on the right side of the road. Man: Of course I am, do you want me to drive on the wrong side of the road? Officer: You ARE driving on the wrong side of the road. Man: But, you just said I'm driving on the right side of the road. Officer: Yes, right is wrong and left is right. Man: Actually, I don't remember the last line, I don't think there were smilies in textbooks

With a wraith inside?

It's all of them, but I don't recall seing it after it was made so that the chars automatically walk to the correct place. Entering houses used to say "stand in front of the door" or something like that as well.

Unless you're in the UK or Japan, then it's the left size.

One more reason to move the wraith (from a different thread):

I remember a post on the old (fast user directory, before phpBB) forums...

No. Go inside the opening, as in the part of the cave that's on the map you're currently on. You know, that hole under the rock.

Well, no. Because the top50 is running on its own server, so the only bragging is done by the people who visit it. "no"? Sounds like a misunderstanding somewhere... Adding guild tags to the top 50 list would be allow exactly the same people to brag about it as the top 50 list itself, and the extra network traffic would affect the same server as the rest of the top 50 list. Sure the list would be a bit larger download, but it's less than 10% (4 letters, compared to peoples names), and that's without counting the HTML tags. It should be easy to make, as all the work to make the top 50 list is already done, it's just a question of adding the tag along with the name. About one line of code.

1. This would be like some kind of auto-hunting? Click the animal and wait for your char to catch it... No challenge in that either, and that's just about the only challenge in this game, at least until you get to PK. But next people will probably suggest auto body-restore and auto restore spell for PK too. 2. That would be like things were before someone made the cursor height sensitive - partially at least, I guess you still want the height part for walking around in places were the ground is not at zero.

Did you try that? ARAIR it won't work. nedit will inherit it's stdin from xargs, which has a pipe as stdin, not the keyboard, so you will not be able to edit the file.

I don't get the point of people saying that newbies need to be able to find him. Newbies shouldn't be wasting pickpoints before they know what they want to use them for. They will start by harvesting and killing rabbits, rats and beavers. You don't need any nexus for that. You can use an iron sword without a human nexus, and inorganic won't be needed until you start harvesting quartz. Pumping up physique and coordination shouldn't be what a newbie starts with, and as for perks, the positive ones cost a lot and once you start to need nexuses you'll run out of pickpoints soon enough without spending them on perks. The negative perks require lots of knowledge about the game, to avoid needing to #reset later. I'd say move him, let Isla Prima be the newbie-friendly island and move the wraith to somewhere that isn't used very much yet. Although I wouldn't suggest inside a town, he seems to be the kind of thing you would meet on a mountain or deep in the forest. Getting him away from #beam me up would also cut down the use of that command (which should have been removed over a year ago).

132 votes in 11 days - that's about 12 people voting. 30 days in april, my estimate is an ending score of 360, or about 10% of the current score of the game in second place.
