Update: I have xml loading working now, but I made a lot of changes to things. Here is how I have set up the XML file with the heal spell as an example. I have added the particles namespace to handle future effects. Also, I have included sigils for now as that is how things work currently, as opposed to receiving an octet from the server. <spells> <spell id="0"> <name>Heal</name> <desc>Minor healing of wounds</desc> <color>0</color> <image_id>0</image_id> <target type="none" distance="0" /> <ingredient number="1" image_id="59" quantity="1" /> <mana amount="5" /> <magic level="0" /> <sigil number="1" name="increase" /> <sigil number="2" name="health" /> <particles>heal.part</particles> </spell> <spell id="1">...</spell>... </spells> We could probably collapse a couple things like mana and magic. I removed some of the xml helper functions from actor_scripts.c and placed them into xmlhelpers.c/h as that should be more reusable. I have also started building the interface to just display the quickspells that one is allowed to cast based upon current sigils and ingredients in inventory.

Not sure where Kuro is on this, but I have been tinkering with it now. I am using the xml format of the actor_defs right now as my template. As such, I think we should break the xml get_string_value, ... into a separate file. Ent, can you help my weak brain and tell me what you mean by an octet (sent from the server)? Just so I know what I am supposed to look for eventually.

Lighter? Can you elaborate? I am using the standard colors. If anything I think the bounding box should be made darker. I also like the first one better, but this one works a bit better at 800x600 because I start running out of room (especially if you have the clock and digital clock on)

Nice work m_bee! One note, when posting screenshots with patches, make sure they are while you are on the test server.

Compiling the client (fresh cvs) on gentoo linux using gcc 4.02. I get a ton of "differ in signedness" messages. Example: text.c: In function 'write_to_log': text.c:117: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 1 of 'strftime' differ in signedness text.c:118: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 1 of 'snprintf' differ in signedness text.c:120: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 1 of 'strlen' differ in signedness text.c:122: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 1 of 'strlen' differ in signedness Anyone else using gcc 4+ and seeing this? I thought Uint meant unsigned integer... This was posted a long time ago in the bugs forum http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/index.p...ndpost&p=171026

i started the process, but UGH! Certainly a lot of digging around in the code to find what everything is passing around.

I did not see it mentioned, but a note that an OSX version is complete/almost complete might be good as well, considering the vast number of excellent OSX games out there.

This patch makes the quickspell icons faded until you hover over them. Simple gimmick, but I thought some people would like even more eye-candy. I did not include a configuration switch for this one. I can if there is enough desire for it though. Patch here: http://developer.berlios.de/patch/?func=de...3&group_id=1256

I think Atlantis's comment is on target, that Ent's proposed change is where things need to happen first.

I actually thought about that earlier. I think I could probably do it, but it would probably slow things down due to scanning the inventory.

Yes, I know that section of code, but it only specifies how much they healed, and not how or by whom. It could have been a FR cloak, healing spot, life drain, ...

PV Insides 398x15 , door does not work from inside, have to click on outside of door to exit.

Enables SHIFT-LEFTMOUSE to move a spell UP on the quickbar and SHIFT-RIGHTMOUSE to move a spell down on the list. Thx to jamincollins/Blackthorne for the suggestion. Please post comments, and any of you who are excellent with pointer management please make sure I do not need to add a "free" to the code. https://developer.berlios.de/patch/index.ph...4&group_id=1256

Yes, you can already delete a spell by right clicking on the spell (i think the update and CVS code does this well). I wanted to move the items using the scroll mouse but could not find a good way to get it to work.

Glacmor Insides 1: Seems that a lot of the chairs have their hights wrong. Especially at the tavern. See screenshot 2: 208x36 exit (Dara's Tavern & Grocery Store). when I click on it, I move to 204x43 or 205x42 and get the "Get closer." no matter where I stand while clicking on the archway. 3: 132x39, this exit takes you to he outside 359x76 which is correct, except if you enter the caves from 355x48, you get sent to 132x39 also. 2 entrances to the same inside point. The exit always takes you to 359x76. Might not be a bug if it was intended.

CVS with version change to 13 works fine here connecting to the test server.

Bots will need to have their version code changed to 1.3 also correct?

No, the marker only occurs when you click something. It does not persist. It is just like when you click to move. As far as I know, the server does not send additional information to the client for me to figure out when someone else was healed/harmed/... It would be great to have that so you have an idea of what else is happening around you. I guess I could parse for "You were [harmed/healed/...] by" and add some sort of affects for them, but again, only you would see it on yourself.

Ok, i have added a decent particle system to the magic component, but it would require adding another file to the particles/ directory. How should I go about posting that file?

I think it is very useful when I accidentally click on a bear. I get the visual feedback that I just did something potentially stupid. But, yes, it really is eye candy.

In the control panel, HUD tab, "StatBars in HUD" right under "Stats in HUD"

Minor: VotD secret place above tavern. Window behind chair flickers.

Latest CVS (yesterday) fixed this for me. Anyone else? NEW_FRUSTUM is good on my ATI X700.

Well, the latest CVS is working great for me now. ATI Mobility X700.

I have a slew of patches I am adding to the berlios site, but 0ctane is right, none of them are even remotely legal on the live server until they are approved by the devs.
