Any plans of this happening?  

I got lazy and tired of messing with the terminal and jumping through all the other loops to make the game connect and playable...  

For those with the official capacity to do so, it shouldn\'t be that big of a deal to put a complete working archive up for download on the main site...

Yeeesh!  I\'ve had to stand in line and wait or share rat spawns with other people, or altogether come back later, there doesn\'t seem to be enough rats to go around...   The happy meduim is missing there.  Oh well, at least they breed/spwan as quick as, errr....  well, rats!

Here\'s something that really threw me....  the pick needs to be in your right hand.  If you mouseover the sword icon for your right hand in your equipment it says \"Right Held\" or something, but it\'s actually the left.

Seeing the picture of myself with the pick in the wrong hand in this window turned on the lights....

Hopefully this is a known issue

Got that wrong....  you actually have to have the pick in your left hand, which IS properly labeled as your left.   Even though the game will tell you it has to be right held.  I dunno if you can have a weapon in your right hand, haven\'t tried it.

I was withdrawing from MMORGs and looking for a new one on www.versiontracker.com, didn\'t find anything intruiging there (might be an idea to post it there to get more attention, it\'s sort of the mac software mecca), luckily a Google seach of \"mac MMORPG\" found one obscure message which metioned the game.

In the past few days I\'ve become absorbed into it, the interface is nice with a full feature set you\'d expect from any MMORPG, it has never crashed, I get framerates from 40 (in bad times) to 200+ and the graphics are beautiful!!  Best of it, it\'s FREE, and the bugs are a bit annoying but tolerable...  I\'m sold

I\'d just like to give my kudos to all of those that spent countless hours developing this game and say THANKS MUCH and keep up the great work, it\'s appreciated!

It\'s currently using version 1.0.2.6 on Mac OS X (not sure if this is mac specific or not - nothing about it in the Mac forum).

Fired it up and the text readout said:
\"Loaded registry
Sever has another updater, going to fetch it..
Sleeping for 10 seconds for you to read the message..
Going to continue with the update, unexpected things may occur\"

When it says sleeping to read the messsage i get a dialog box that says \"WARNING:  New updater can\'t be fetched since your OS isn\'t yet supported for automatic updating.  You should be able to fetch and intall it manually either from the mainsite or from the forums\"

At one point it said it was obtaining the new updater and appearantly crashed.  And after searching/looking, I don\'t find a newer version.  Anybody?  TIA!!

  The scroll wheel on the mouse would move the camera in and out,

This is pretty easy to do if I make it un-customizable. But right now there is only one view where zoom even works due to constraints from the camera code, I will wait till that is updated(which will be pretty soon) to work on that.

--------------

I\'m not entirely sure what some people have the scroll wheel mapped to do, when i use it now it doesn\'t do anything by default.  Having it move from first person view to max perspective (zoom in scrolling forward, out backwards) would be simply outstanding!

Moving or holding the mouse to any side of the screen would pan the camera, touching the left side would move it left, right to right, touching the top would move the camera down and vice versa.

I was thinking about this, the problem being that it would be yet another mode to change your view... So I will have to muck around with the other ones, see what people actually use and what they need. Question, by panning up you mean looking up? if so that\'s the same as the current mouselook, but only using the borders to indicate. But again, this will lead to many more settings for people to change.

--------------------

It was a simple system, there were no borders or graphics for working it.  Touching the mouse on any far edge of the screen would move the camera.  Tapping the side of the screen would move it slightly, and leaving your mouse there would cause it to spin continously left or right, or move the camera all the way up/down.

As for vertical movement, well holding the mouse at the top of the screen would cause the camera to move up in a 360 degree arc (keeping it aimed at your character) until it was directly above your head looking down at you.  Moving it fully down would move it perfectly horizontal with the head of your character.  And regardless of where the camera is, the mousewheel always had the same effect moving the camera out of first person to as far as your perspective was set at (and vice versa).

This system was ingenious in the fact that you could quickly and easily change your viewpoint to whatever you wanted without using a single keystroke or having to set key bindings for camera controls.  This would also eliminate the need to change or have multiple camera modes (first person for sure, however dynamic follow is kind of neat)

Hope this clarifies my prior desprection!  Pardon the messed qoutes....

Just out of curiosity, in layman\'s terms what is the difference between -relight and -nolightmapping?  Obviously relight modifies the maps in some way.  And nolight is a true/false toggle that does what?

For that matter, I haven\'t found documention on it yet, can somebody please breifly explain (what the visual result is) or point me to an explantion of the Zbuffer, Anti-Aliasing, Multitexturing checkbox, Stencil, Anisotropy, and Downsampling settings in the setup app?

Thanks for any help
