The technique books (more like recipe collections, really) are a good idea but I think the current system can still be optimized. I don't find it logical that when you get a book with more advanced crafting techniques, you can't remember the simpler methods unless you equip that specific book.
Typically you gain access to more advanced books with a higher skill in the corresponding crafting art; why not keep the system where you can unlock recipes as your skill level goes up, but make the books as simple recipe lists that you can consult if you have forgotten them?
In short, once you have the skill level to make a specific recipe, you will be able to do it ad vitam eternam, regardless of whether you have the book on you, as long as you combine the right ingredients. I believe that makes more sense.

There could also be a system of "hidden" recipes, kind of like researching spells by combining glyphs. Then you can write them down and publish them in a book of your own if you want, as Dante suggested.

What do you think?

I got myself an Icy Trigrain-Steel SS, "almost unique (0.0004%)" that I will probably keep rather than selling it... No idea what "trigrain-steel" does yet, though.

Indeed. I actually just got the same answer in my console log while looking for something else... Thanks for the help, everything is in there. I just wonder why these files wouldn't appear when running a search in my computer, but nvm.

I hadn't run the updater yet, especially because there was trouble with the updater on macs. Now that it's fixed, I've launched it and the map loaded. Thanks for the suggestion.

Hey there, I also have a problem with my logs. I could locate all the ones from the previous versions but since 0.4.01 has been released I can't find any "logs" folder though I checked I had selected the "log chat messages" option ingame. I don't know if it's because of the release or not.

If this might help I'm on a Mac. I didn't post this on the Mac-dedicated board because i wasn't sure it was a Mac-only issue, plus there was already an existing thread (an old one though).
If anyone has an idea about his, or has the same problem, please tell me.

Hmm yes. I forgot to mention it as Cha0s suggested it though. And I know it's bad but I didn't really do a large search regarding this issue, and the reason is everything worked well before the update, and so I assumed it came from the update itself. (Well another reason might be that there have been a bunch of previous texture issues in the past. But i think that's the first one for this version of Planeshift.)

Alright, so now that the Bronze Doors region doesn't freeze the game anymore, there's a new issue : not sure how the map is called, but that's between BD and Hydlaa, 2nd map heading to Hydlaa. When I pass the Lake of tears and reach the gate where the loading region is, a message appears "Loading region failed" and lets me no other choice that clicking "ok", which shuts the game down. Any idea of what is wrong?

Got a MacBook Pro (2 GHZ Intel Core Duo), version 10.5.4.

Oh, and there's a texturing problem on every window ingame. I'll try to take some pics when the server is up again.

edit : Here's a screenie of what my PS-Setup looks like, it's pretty much the same as what it looks ingame.

Wish I could, but I'm actually already there, so I'm somehow stuck until the next release. Unless I find some spare time in my schedule and ask kindly the GMs to move my location.
