Technical Help: Problems BEFORE entering the game /
« on: May 17, 2002, 11:52:47 am »
There\'ve been some problems with the latest updates of the 3dfx drivers. We hope to have those fixed soon, until then you should run in windowed mode. (change the value for \"full screen\" in the psclient.cfg file from yes to no) After doing this you\'ll be able to use your mouse.

we are ^_^ most likely it\'s only the first time you connect that it will take so long. Anyway, even the first time shouldn\'t take that much time in the final release. But we\'re not there yet, so you\'ll have to be patient for now...

what is this conversation all about? 
I posted this thread at the boards early days, it was even in a test-phase when i posted it. And I wasn\'t a mod back then. When you bother about the line distorting your sig, just add an open line on top of it!
With this post I would like to point out that you don\'t have to put a separate line with the url of your website in your sig, just add the [url] command to the image location.

Feel free to join this battle! in this thread Thekkurs rules don\'t apply, it\'s just plain fun!
The immense plains of Kunar are overshadowed by thick black clouds. Red and yellow lightning bolts flash through the air, and you smell the sound of war. On this day, the future of lands under the Azure Sun will be decided, as mighty armies battle for the reign over all the lands. Thekkur the dwarven warrior finds himself in the middle of a giant legion of dwarves, and together they march forward over the dorren plain of Kunar. Before him are at least 3 rows of stonebreakers with mighty two-handed axes, smithed by the dwarven smiths of Hengr?n. Behind and to his sides are other dwarves, wielding maces, battleaxes, warhammers and Ugroshes. Then a command of one of the leaders sounds, and the ranks stand ground. In the distance another legion is visible, but it\'s clear these aren\'t allies... Bloodred banners and pinacles with rotten heads skewered on them point out of the , and Demonish warcries and curses make the dwarven hearts even more furious. Thekkur knows this is the battle for the future of Yliakum. On these plains armies of men, dwarves, elves, and all other races have gathered to defeat the forces of evil for once and for all.
Then something moves in the distance, and thousands of orcs charge at the Dwarven ranks. The dwarves stand like stone, but then, as the orcish army is only 50 feet away and Thekkur can already see their rotten mouths wide open, screaming and yelling, the dwarven legion moves forward as one man, and as they run forward Thekkur shouts on top of his lungs together with all dwarves: Baruk Khazad! Khazad ai-m?nu!
Then the two armies meet, and a thundering wave goes through the rows as the dwarves and the orcs clash. Blood spatters around and adrenaline flows freely through Thekkurs veigns as he gets engaged in the chaos of battle. Before him a dwarf falls, and the large orc that slaugtered him leaps forward. Thekkur can just move out of it\'s way and as it passes him he strikes the orc full on his back. In one movement he swings at another orc he saw passing by from the corner of his eye, and this one he strikes on the shoulder. New rows of Dwarves come up behind him, and Thekkur finds himself now in the front. Everywhere around him he sees orcish jaws and shields, and black blood spats on his face. Then a the dwarves start a war song, this time not in the secret dwarven language, but in common, for everyone free to hear and fear.
Aye!
though under mountains where we dwell
we seldom smell a battle\'s smell
we dwarves know better how to wield
an axe or mace or sword and shield
than many race that praise themselves
like kobolds trolls and orcs and elves!
Aye!
Wield your axe with strength at heart
tear the enemies limbs apart
split their skulls and chop their chest
we fight all day cause dwarves don\'t rest!
Aye!
blood and cries and guts and sweat
land your maces on their heads!
may Talad give us strength and will
to battle fierce and make our kill!

ooc: who says he\'s an old man?
The man on the cart has a endless stare. he neither looks at you, nor talks to you... You\'re in the way of his heavily loaded cart, but he doesn\'t seem to be going to stop. You step out of the way of the ox cart. As it drives past you, you hear a grunt from one of the barrels on the cart, and you get the feeling something fishy is going on here... The barrels are covered with a tarpaulin, and you notice a part of it hanging loose.

\" I did not expect anything else...\" Eloion says, and she looks into your eyes. \"we must go quick, and linger no longer.\" She stands up and walks to a cupboard in the other end of the room. \"this might be useful\" she says, and she gets out three black mantles. \"Put this on, we won\'t be recognised in this.\" she says, and she puts one of the mantles on. You follow her example. She walks to the front door,a nd peeks out quickly. \"follow me\" she says. You follow her outside, and as you run through the muddy street you have the feeling you\'re being watched. Eloion turns into an ally, and into another one. You keep running through the small allies and past closed shutters, you don\'t see no living being. Then Eloion stops in front of a door, which looks no different from others. She gives a roffle on it. from behind the door you hear a voice speaking in a strange language, though other than the one you heard the two men in Eloions house speaking. Eloion answers the voice, and the door opens. You all walk inside, and behind you you hear the door closing. The room is dimly lit, and on all sides you see working benches and cupboards. In another room adjacent to the one you\'re in you see barrels stacked up. This seems to be some sort of distribution centre... An old man walks past you and walks into the adjacent room. \"come Eloion,\" he says\" I have to speak to you. Eloion turns towards you \" please wait here, i have to talk with Gheron. I\'ll be back soon...
After some time the two return. Eoion speaks: \"We made up a plan to get us into the dark area, although we don\'t have a clue what to find there... Today a servant of the shadow riders will come and earn the taxes. The servant never says a word, and never checks the barrels in which the taxes are stored. We had this plan for a long time, but we didn\'t have enough brave men to risk something like this. Now we have to be quick though, else the stranger will be...\" she stops, and looks towards Gheron. Gheron nods. Eloion truns towards you. \"Gheron will stay here, but his son Hunian will come with us. We will hide in the barrels, and the servant will take them. what comes next... only laanx and Talad know what comes next... We have to hurry, the servant can be here in any moment now.\"
You haste towards the adjacent room. There you notice two large doors, and a little patio. Gheron walks towards some large barrels that are stacked up in the corner and opens them. \"Get in quick\", he says, and you climb into the barrel. Before he closes down the lid he wishes you luck. Outside the barrel you hear Eloion Gheron, and another man talking in the starnge language. Then you hear two more barrels opening and closing. Gheron warns you, and flips over the barrel. Then he slowly rolls it forward.
Kerrick: you notice a small hole in your barrel, through which you are able to look. You don\'t see much now, because it\'s turned towards some other barrels.
You wait for a long time, but finally you hear Gheron whispering: \"he\'s coming!, be quiet!\" Then you hear a terrifying voice speaking. You can\'t make out the words, but you can hear Gheron answering with a trembling voice. \"righ away master... it will... be done right away master\" You hear the large doors open and someone coming. The barrels are rolled again, and upto a slope.
Kroan: you stomach doesn\'t feel so good with all the turning...
After some time you hear a sissing voice, and it seems like you\'re on a moving cart... You\'re on your way! where will fate take you this time?

you just get the the idea it might be some monster ready to eat you alive, but then you hear someone muttering to himself \"why me...\", and then you hear some moaning and someone scuffeling. \"who\'s there?\" you ask into the balck, and you hear your voice trembling. at the same moment you feel something sliding over your right leg...

and everything is. you slowly walk forward, scanning the wall with your hands and the floor with one foot. The walls feel slimy, and the floor is unevenen and scattered with crisping things. Around your feet you hear some tripping of tiny paws, and you don\'t want to know what these are...Then your hand feel a different material, and you try to make out what it is. It feels like a wooden door... indeed, it is a wooden door, you can feel the hinge. just as you want to try open the door you hear a trembling voice ask \"who\'s there?\" from behind you.

You find yourself lying on on your chest on a cold stone floor. As you open your eyes, you notice that you still can\'t see anything. Total darkness surrounds you. You wonder if this is hell... but no, a sharp pain in back of your reminds you this is neither a dream or hell... but where are you then? Slowly you begin to remember some of the things that happened... you don\'t have anything on you, and you wonder if the dark warriors took all your possesions. On your left side you feel a wet stone wal. groaning you lift yourself up on your hands an knees.
