Have you tried editing your custom keys?

I have a Macbook as well, and this happens to me using the defaults.  Just C&P the code in the linked thread to the appropriate files, and I'm wagering your problem will be solved.

Awwww!

I saw a baby moose pretty close up while out camping a few years back, and was startled by how pretty it was.  Not that adult moose are without charm, but it's too bad they don't get to stay that awesome hot cocoa color.

This is an issue I ran into a few days ago when first running the latest update.  As I lacked the time and patience then to mess around with it, I uninstalled the game and reinstalled without running the updater, but now I'm tackling it again, and hoping someone can help me out.   There's probably some "oh duh" explanation for it, but I'm not exactly brilliant at this kind of thing, I'm afraid 

Here is my problem: I was one of the people experiencing crashes whenever I tried to load certain areas, including the area around the Magic Shop and the Arena.  Post-running the updater, to get the patches to fix this, both sections of Hydlaa are unloadable, causing the game to crash.  The magicshop map remains unloadable, as is the BD1 map.   Ojaveda and its road areas, and Gurgontid, load as normal. 

According to the updater log, the updater ran 100% successfully, with no issues. 

Any idea what the issue is?   I can uninstall and reinstall again and stick to Oja and Hydlaa, which is workable enough for RP purposes, but I'd of course like to be able to access the whole game again.

Hm.. so now that people most likely wont get stuck anymore they complain about the downsides? Heck am I glad I am not a dev lol..

Personally, I'm annoyed not because I liked climbing, but because I'm getting stuck way, way more.  I've had to use /unstick more in the past few days than I did all last month.

Until someone on the dev team says differently, I'm assuming this was a completely unintended bug, and something that will be fixed once the major crashy issues of this latest update are fixed.

Totally trivial request time!

Would it be possible to have a list somewhere - in in-game book form, or on the forums, or whatever - with a few noteworthy locations from every level, like major cities, landmarks, etc.?   I think it might colorize RP (well, it would colorize mine, anyway ) to be able to say "Oh, yeah, I'm from Suchandsuch - you know, the big city on Far Ground with the famous menagerie?" or "Look at this beautiful cloth!   It's imported from Whatsit, that place in the Lower Field where the Nolthrir have those underwater weaveries."  

I love that in-game book with the descriptions of various places on the Dome, and it's cool when NPCs drop references to places outside of the current game; it helps remind me of just how big Yliakum actually is.   So I'd be totally chuffed to see more of that, for a bigger area.

Actually, I got the impression from a bug report re: climbing ladders being super difficult (here) that this is a bug, not an intentional limitation.  It sounds like the bounding boxes have changed in some weird way?   

I agree that it is crazy annoying - it took me ten minutes to get up a ladder! - and hopefully they'll be fixing it.

Not entirely true, some species of snakes have limited infrared vision.

Do they really?   This delights me and I have no idea why.

In my opinion it would only require the according receptors, like bees have some for uv-light, I could think of human retina could in addition contain different sorts of sensors as well. Such would end up in a mix of the way of vision we know it, complimented by uv-impressions.

I'm not totally sure re: UV, but I'm fairly certain there still have to be trade offs, and it would be a major pain in the neck to figure out what they would be.  You could also give Ylian eyes a tapetum lucidum - the membrane that makes a cat's eyes shine - which would improve night vision considerably . . . but the catch is that it makes for blurrier vision. 

From backreading other discussions about racism in Yliakum, I get the impression that it's not that no one acknowledges the obvious differences between the races in terms of specific abilities, or that lightheartedly teasing a friend from another race about lacking some particular ability is a major no-no.  It's more that going around talking about how (to give an example I have seen way too often in-game) "a member of <insert race here> screwed me over and now I hate every single member of that race" is socially unacceptable on a level that most people wouldn't even dream of it, and breaking that taboo is viewed as so offensive that the average person would consider it perfectly acceptable for the government to arrest you for it.   

I also get the impression it's at least partly because every freaking fantasy universe ever has interspecies tension dripping out its ears and the devs are tired of it! 

I'd love to talk about the vision thing, Velk, since I've been wondering about it too.   Maybe it would be better to start a new topic, though?
