Greetings.
First off, thank you folks for your tireless work on this project.
Since the 0.4.01 update that I picked up this morning, I managed to log in ok, but as soon as I opened the inventory, the client crashed. Since then, I'm getting a permanent message "log back in after 30 seconds".
Looking on other strings here, I've updated the XML file. I'm running a NV34 (GE Force FX 5200) graphics card. I'm hoping the XML file change will fix the inventory problem, but I can't check due to the "still logged in" bug.
Using Ubuntu Gutsy.
Please help.

Thanks.

Martin (Marthron Decksar)

Twas an Yliakum day of great toil for this study Ylian. A seasoned traveler and merchant  between Ojeveda and Hydlaa, Marthron arrived at the Kada El Tavern weary and worn from many an adventure and duel with creatures in abundance. Much wisdom had been gained from crafting weapons of some considerable value. Light from the crystal was now waning.... It was time for rest and relaxation... and perhaps and opportunity to imbibe some refreshment from this establishment of... well ... apparent good reputation.

Marthron purchased a flagon of ale and, seated in comfort at a table, reflected upon his exploits.
"Alas, tis with a weary heart I remember maidens of great beauty. My hearts desire is to sing another lament."

A female Diaboli of great beauty approaches and fixes Marthron with hypnotic stare, the curves of her lean a lythe body entrapping Marthron's thoughts.
"Greetings fair maiden. May I be of assistance?"
The Diaboli leans forward seductively and hold out her scarlet hand for Marthron to kiss.
"Verily, may I keep you company? I see you sit alone."
Marthron indicates for this maiden to sit at the table. They talk for some while. Marthron tells tales of his quests and adventures and the maiden listens intently, gazing into his eyes. After some while she clicks her fingers and a serving Ylian arrived with further refreshment. Ale is consumed throughout the evening.
"Shall we proceed downstairs and sit by the fire? Tis more cozy there." The Ylian follows down the stairs to the warmth, feeling more relaxed at the sound of the fire crackling in the hearth.
Marthron becomes mesmerized by gentle music. The Diaboli maiden tells of her talent for dance for which Marthron takes great interest. Suddenly, she takes his hand, stands and begins to dance seductively around him. Marthron is entranced by this display. She swirls around the room, then comes close and places a hand upon Marthron's cheek. They kiss and embrace.
"Perhaps you would like to move somewhere more comfortable." Marthron senses a sinister inflection in the Diaboli's voice. Nonetheless, he stands and folllows. Unsteady upon his feet, the room begins to spin and a feeling of nauseousness overcomes him. Faltering, he collapses upon the stairs and remains there unconscious for quite some time.
Eventually, coming round in dim light, he feels a chill. Limbs ache his head feels heavy. The tavern is empty, save for some distant sweeping upstairs. Marthron proceeds gingerly to the exit.
"That will be 4 circles sire." come words from the innkeeper.  Marthron reaches inside his pouch to discover that it is empty!
"I have been robbed!"
"So it seems sire, but you must pay or face the wrath of Hydlaa guards."
"Tis only one item I have of value. Please take this ancient diamond encrusted platinum sword. A weapon of dubious use in combat, but has much value for its rarity."
The innkeeper studies the sword and grins ironically. "Methinks this may cover your debt sire. Tis a lesson you have learned. You are welcome here again. Be sure to bring your items of value!"

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not.

I was in the arena and running up and down the stairways (just looking for one of the trade stands) and seemed to fall for some reason and die.  OK, so I was on 30% HP after a near loss of duel with a Tefusung, but that was well out of the area.

Has anyone else experienced this? Maybe its a "mean't to be" situation.

Does anyone know of a good open source video package I could get that will record game play of PlaneShift?

I'm running the game on Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10.

I want to record some play to upload to YouTube.

Thanks.

I spotted last night that when I go to purchase government training, a bug causes a quit out of the game. Has anyone else come across this?
