Client Build 25 Problem/Bug Reporting

Cassandra Fjurin · Post by **Cassandra Fjurin** » Mon Jul 19, 2004 2:55 pm

New Client release build 25

This Topic is about the new Client. Here you can report bugs missplaced graphics etc. (all off topics post would be deleted without a warning)

Some hints from me.
===============================================
reuse of the namefiles:

You can reuse the names.dat files on the new client. Only copy them from the old illarion folder

\oldillarion folder\your charname\names.dat

to

\newillarion folder\yout charname

then you should have your names back
===============================================

If you have problems with the new Client espacaly graphic problems (black screen/return to desktops/Direct X crashes) Try to download the newest graphics driver. I had also problems with it. All of them where fixed with the newest NVIDIA driver for my graphics card. If this doesn't help try other driver for the graphics card maybe some older will do it.

Have fun playing illarion

********************************************************

Dieses Thema ist für den neuen Client. Hier könnt ihr Bugs melden probleme oder falsch platzierte grafiken. (Alle Off Topic Posts werden ohne Vorwarnung gelöscht)

Hier noch ein paar Tipps von mir:
============================================
Weiter benutzung der names datei. Die alten names sind voll kompatibel zum neinen Client. Mann kann entweder aus dem alten illarion verzeichnis alle ordner kopieren die charnamen tragen und in den neuen client einfügen. Dann aber bitte dir itemnames.dat löschen oder aber nur die names.dat aus dem Verzeichnis mit den Charnamen in den neuen Client in das verzeichnis mit den charnamen kopieren. (Diese Verzeichnisse werden beim ersten einloggen mit den Char angelegt)

============================================
Wenn ihr probleme mit dem Client habt. Vor allem Grafikprobleme (Back to Desktops/Schwarzer Bildschirm/Direct X Fehler) Hilft meist ein Download der neuesten Grafiktreiber. Und wenn das nicht hilft ggf auch mal verschiedene Treiber probieren vielleicht hilft ein älterer. Ich hatte ebenso probleme mit dem Client mit Downloaden der neuesten Forceware für NVIDIA Grafikkarten war alles behoben.

Viel Spaß beim Spielen.

-Cas

P.s: If you have copied the whole directory with your charname to the new client please delete the itemnames.dat from it. Some names of items have changed. Otherwise you wouldn't notice the changes.

AFter loggingin twice I had a bad case of lag, I logged out. Now when I try to log in my screen is just black. It also says I am ingame. I think my char is stuck.

This is caused by the server being down.

Whenever I try to open a bag inside my depot (with all my chars, not just Quin) the bag closes right away.

Also when I shift+left click to use something (i.e. an apple or a horn) it keep using it like one or two times within the following minute, even if I'm totally doing something else or in another area. Did that make sense?

I cant reproduce the problem. Have you installed the newest graphics drivers for your graphics card? (I don't think that this is the reason but maybe it helps.) What client are you using Win98 or win2000/XP What Os do you have. You should try to redownload the client and install it again.

Nilo · Post by **Nilo** » Mon Jul 19, 2004 8:50 pm

Uhh...

Here it goes:

When i log out and try to log back in, the next 2-3 minutes it will say "You tried to log in twice!" . It has always done this, however, earlier I did it and I didnt just log off. I had just woken up, and I was forced to play another character for a while.

2. Did you change the "Create Character" At all?

3. The graphics of the flies are off a space.

4. Down in the cave far up north (where there is nothing) the map gets all messed up. You start seeing white and green and pink and all sorts of colors your not suposed to see... (again, it has always done this)

Hmm I think that MIGHT be all.

p.s. Did you make it to where if you try to create two bottles really fast that the 2nd one wont work? I thought this might be a "no - powergamer" thing. not sure though.

3. The graphics of the flies are off a space.

That was fixed already.

Nilo, your #4 was happening before teh new client

did you ever go to the spider cave?
That isprobobly becuase teh cave is not finished is all

Drolagas · Post by **Drolagas** » Mon Jul 19, 2004 11:09 pm

The litle X when you are hit is off center
when fishing, it is off center, though it does look nice

Kasume · Post by **Kasume** » Mon Jul 19, 2004 11:32 pm

One of my characters still has the skill "dodge" under language skills.

As one of my other characters ( after fighting a few things ) has the skill "dodge" under combat skills.

Is the skill being ignored for being under language skills?

Rackere Diplomatre · Post by **Rackere Diplomatre** » Tue Jul 20, 2004 2:05 am

Eliza, Sam, the crosses and all monsters have very high viewable numbers. I think it is a little bit over the maximum of the positive numbers of Int32. Can you make them not to show up their numbers?

Drogla · Post by **Drogla** » Tue Jul 20, 2004 2:11 am

Yes, my dodge is still in the skills section too

The bundles of grain, are off center I belive

Gro'bul · Post by **Gro'bul** » Tue Jul 20, 2004 6:39 am

Just wondering, but are custum graphics not showing up a bug? I highly doubt it but maybe its just me.

Kasume · Post by **Kasume** » Tue Jul 20, 2004 9:28 am

Are skeletons suppose to be ten times stronger?

The graphics have other naes now. They call ID****

Athian · Post by **Athian** » Tue Jul 20, 2004 1:58 pm

what do you all mean when you say the monsters are so strong? i've fought pretty much all of them and aside from the ogres which i don't think is to smart in leather armor. they all seem about the same strenght as they were. the orc's actually seem a bit weaker then mummies and the skellies aren't hitting hard at all.

Arkadia Misella · Post by **Arkadia Misella** » Tue Jul 20, 2004 2:25 pm

The skeleton targeting problem ((randomly not attacking a skeleton after one hit after you cntrl click them)) seems to be far worse than before.

Galim · Post by **Galim** » Tue Jul 20, 2004 2:41 pm

move yourself with strg+mouse one field away away and the targeting-problem is away.

Nilo · Post by **Nilo** » Tue Jul 20, 2004 4:12 pm

Yes if you push yourself that goes away, and you can once again target people and monsters.

edit: removed useless bable

I don't know if this is a bug that is specific to this client, or it was just never noticed, hence never fixed. But these "Ghost characters" ((not naming names, don't want to ruin peoples RP)) are supposed to be invisible. But if you are standing on top of the tavern, ((up one floor)) you can see them clearly, I watched one today walk through the town wall. I know this isn't anything big, it's more of an easter egg, but I thought I would mention it if any of you GMs care.

Kasume · Post by **Kasume** » Thu Jul 22, 2004 5:41 am

Well for starters...

That bug has been around since the last client we had.

And... I was walking through people today...

Gro'bul · Post by **Gro'bul** » Thu Jul 22, 2004 7:35 am

Ripe grain will appear ontop of newly planted grain that is south of it whereas it should appear behind it.

GorgeBloodstench · Post by **GorgeBloodstench** » Thu Jul 22, 2004 3:43 pm

Domitrio,

When your on top of the tavern, the people you see arent actually where you see them. It that they walk over the river, or walk through walls, but they arent. It is just because you are at Z=1 and the characters are at z=0 and it gets mesed up.

Galim · Post by **Galim** » Thu Jul 22, 2004 5:55 pm

The graphics for ash, liferoot and the not enlightened campfire seems to be off-center.

Domitrio · Post by **Domitrio** » Thu Jul 22, 2004 7:34 pm

@Gorge Well I guess that's the bug I was talking about, there you go Martin, sorry for conusing you.

Caranthir the great · Post by **Caranthir the great** » Sat Jul 24, 2004 2:14 pm

The "oil lamp" graphic is not in center.

Athian · Post by **Athian** » Sun Jul 25, 2004 12:28 am

some of the buildings that had alot of open walk ways now look like there completely made of doors, like the second floor or the Druid of the Forest's building and the on the west shore of the northern part of the forest, the one thats north of the small unfinished building. maybe not a probelm but it looks really odd.

martin · Post by **martin** » Sun Jul 25, 2004 12:30 am

This was due to abuse of doors as open walks.

We will fix that.
