well, it still didn't work.  now the script was looking for /opt/art  - just in case that is already at the end of the script - is there a way i don't need to compile everything again?

hi,

my next attempt to use the gooeyBuilder ended in the following message:cp: Aufruf von stat für „/opt/planeshift_cvs/art“ nicht möglich: No such file or directory which makes sence since there is no directory called /opt/planeshift_cvs/art but only /opt/planeshift_cvs/planeshift/art
due to a lack of knowledge i don't have a clue how to fix that myself...

I used .8.2 on dapper and chose the default install directory.

I will try to explain myself a bit better. What i found disturbing was, that once you reach a certain level of Itelligence (50), one seems to have reached unlimited wisdom when it comes to identify others no matter what the difference of these two characters is. I find that highly unrealistic and would like to soften these hughe step a bit. What Karyuu wrote ("Currently, the higher your Intelligence is, the better you can estimate someone's strength.") isn't cosequently implemeted - there is only the one mentioned step of INT 50.

So I think what would prevent them of beeing identified would be Itelligence and Charisma. And the best way to implement that could be that a difference is calculated between the values of charisma and itelligence of the character beeing identified and the (_only_ as we discussed) intelligence of the identitifying character. Once the difference is too high - the weaker character shouldn't be able anymore to figure out the others strength.

By the way, why do you have charisma listed twice up there?  What's wrong with just multiplying times 2, if you want it to count more?...

uhm - I just wasn't sure how to do that... 

"Maybe even when you reach a certain intelligence level you could have the optionr to chose whether to make yourself come over as stronger or weaker than you really are?"
In my opinion this is a great Idea.  Gives more motivation to do train INT.

I think it would make sence that the identifying border isn't just at Intelligence 50, but also the difference of a combination of Charisma and Itelligence of both players. Therefore here my suggestion. I've never programmed in C++, so I am not sure if there are mistakes in my modification:

for src/server/usermanager.cpp

                int CharsIdentify = charData->GetCharIdentify();
                int PlayersLvl    = client->GetCharacterData()->GetCharIdentify();
                int LvlDifference = PlayersIdentify - CharsIdentify;


if (( playerAttr->GetStat(PSITEMSTATS_STAT_INTELLIGENCE) < 50 ) || ( IdentifyDifference < -50 ))
      desc.AppendFmt( "\n\nYou try to evaluate the strength of %s, but you have no clue.", charName.GetData() );
else
...
and for src/server/bulkobjects/pscharacter.cpp

unsigned int psCharacter::GetCharIdentify()
{
    return ( attributes.GetStat(PSITEMSTATS_STAT_INTELLIGENCE) +
             attributes.GetStat(PSITEMSTATS_STAT_CHARISMA) +
             attributes.GetStat(PSITEMSTATS_STAT_CHARISMA) ) / 3;
}

Just that I am  not mistaken here:

Lets say I become a freakin good chef, are the best singer in Yliakum and have plenty of other skill which do not influence my phisical strength or ability to fight at all, I could still be seen as  'impossible to defeat'? Is it a smart move than to train any other skill if I am a guy how is proud of his duell points?

How I see it, the best way would be than to train only strength, agility, endurance, light-amor and sword and therefore be seen as a medium character, but I would probalby always win in any duell where the other has about the same 'strength'.

So, does the strength-thing makes sence than at all or is it just confusing? With the concept of my guild - I shouldn't even complain here, but I still would like to have that indicator beeing more precise.

hi,

after typing gooeybuilder in my cl - the third window i get says: Could not find buildscript compatible with your linux distro. Exiting...

hmm - I am currently running Ubuntu 6.06 alias Dapper Drake - since it was made for dapper i was wonderingn what could have went wrong

Someone even told me today that he got about -20 duell-points for challenge spam - is that true? And since duell points don't influence the character - why would he bother? The duell points are not even beeing made public afaik.

Tanks Alfonso and sorry for not looking by myself. It would be great if you could install that. Gives Jabber users maybe a bit more the feeling of beeing supported
