marack Report post Posted June 19, 2007 (edited) I haven't had any problems with the 1.4.0 client since the update until i increased my inorganic nexus to 6 and went off my merry way to begin harvesting from the Whitestone Outhouse. To my surprise i could not get the 'harvesting pickaxe' mouse pointer to activate while it was over the Outhouse proper. Tried cycling through the mouse pointers by right clicking but couldnt get the pickaxe icon to showup. I then decided to go to TG Outhouse thinking it might be a MAP related thing however same problem. I then decide to download latest Windows XP driver for my ATI RADEON X800 Series Video Card. Rebooted PC - reloaded game and same behaviour - no harvest pickaxe pointer when mouse is on the outhouse. I searched EL forums for similar problem but to no avail. For my own sanity I tried the game on my laptop and had no problem harvesting from the WS Outhouse. Any ideas? Edited June 19, 2007 by marack Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sistema Report post Posted June 19, 2007 I would say try installing a fresh copy of 1.4.0. My senses say that should fix the problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Trojan_Knight Report post Posted June 19, 2007 I could be wrong. But I think ya need to have leather gloves equipped to harvest dung? Anyways if so, could it be you not have leather gloves equipped? Thats only thing I can think of. ~TK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bkc56 Report post Posted June 19, 2007 and the harvesting point is a narrow band along the bottom edge of the outhouse For me it's the entire outhouse structure. Any part of it gets the harvest/pickaxe symbol. And being properly equiped for harvesting does not effect if the icon appears. You always get the icon even if you're missing needed gloves, pick, or other items. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marack Report post Posted June 19, 2007 (edited) I'll try downloading a 'fresher' client and report back. In regards to the questions about whether i'm doing it right...answer is yes...I'm lvl 84 harver so been there. I did state that I had no problem harvesting on my laptop...thats the confusing part. Both PCs are running same client. Thanks guys.... EDIT: Did the client download and installed it in a fresh EL directory - still have the problem Edited June 20, 2007 by marack Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torg Report post Posted June 20, 2007 EDIT:Did the client download and installed it in a fresh EL directory - still have the problem Hmmm, odd. It is possibly something similar to the ATI mouse bug so try all the various options. Also, please detail the specs of your system, especially video card.

Choris Report post Posted June 21, 2007 So you can harvest anything but outhouse, is that correct? If so, that sounds to me like a problem with your harvestable.lst file... Try opening it from your EL folder with Notepad, and looking if 'outhouse1.e3d' exists there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marack Report post Posted June 21, 2007 I'll be damned... The outhouse1.e3d item was missing from the harvestable.lst file. I added it to the file and logged into game and sure enough it works now. Thanks much Choris... Thinking about it now I must've archived the older harvestable.lst file along with all my *.txt files in the EL directory prior to installing the new 1.4.0 client. After the install I extracted all my archive files back into the EL directory which would have copied over the new harvestable.lst file. Appreciate the help... Solved...
