First bugfixes

I uploaded a new client, that fixed the following problems:

- the zip file doesn't include another zip file
- corrected ice bolt graphics
- positions of demon skeletons and some other graphics fixed
- magic skills are shown again
- usage of all druid herbs should be possible
- I hope the bug, that shows "phantom people" is fixed. I played for a while on the new client, and haven't discovered it anymore

If you had problems with some of this, you should download a new client, if not, it is not really needed.

will there a fix for the D3D-acceleration problem?

I guess there will be a fix for the DirectX Problem someday, but not in the near future. For those who don't know it: On some computers you will see a pink border around the items in the inventory (and only there). This is a result of a senseless bahaviour of some graphics adapters. I get no reply for my questions on the Microsoft DirectX board. It is possible for you to fix it, to change the hardware graphics acceleration.
right click your desktop, select last entry (like properties), select properties again, more or problem solving, or something like that.
There should be a switch, where you can reduce the hardware acceleration. reduce the setting step by step, until the pink line vanishes (when you reduce it to 0 it surely does)

About the position of the Demon Skelletons: I thought it's feature, not a bug. Really. I thought they are demons and flying. *g*
There's another little bug, but I think this one is serverside: I was unable to buy leather to make a bag.
And yes, good that the "phantom people" bug is fixed.
Nothing against you, Bror, but I don't need to see 6 of you trampling through my fields.

It happend that this bug occured very often with lizards.

I have uploaded a new client. The old one will still be usable, but the new one has some fixed item positions and a "new" font.
It is still the old font, but the spaces between characters aren't fixed (proportional font?) and there is a wordbreaking, that doesn't break within words.
The bug, that occures, when you push yourself, will be fixed with the next server restart. This might be connected to the problems in the automap.

So, do we download the new client?
The skelletons right now are hard to hit
