Wish list / Re: to stack the ores while digging
« on: July 02, 2012, 10:13:30 pm »
If (if!) stacking is to be changed, then sooner or later both client and server will need a change. I thought my change was easier (no change in interface and settings) and might be compatible with older version (maybe not so easy), even if not the most effective and convenient...

Anyway, rounding quality to integer (at the time of digging/harvesting/fishing) is pretty good! That should not have any noticeable effect on process nor any other bad side-effect, yet it would decrease the number of stack in inventory (at least right now, as quality is not spread over a wide range).

I vote for a rounding in server sooner, then a clean and effective stacking improvement later :)

Wish list / to stack the ores while digging

Following the "meet the devs" event and the mentioned ore stacking problem, I thought of a way that may be easy to implement, by changing the /dig command:

/dig [rounding] [item-name]

After calculating the quality, the server would make a further calculation:
quality = int((quality-50)/rounding)*rounding + 50

Thus:
- "/dig" will work like now
- "/dig 50" will make stacks of 50, 100, 150, 200, 250 and 300Q items
- "/dig 1" will make plenty of stacks, but all 50Q items would now be stacked, as well as 51Q... (they would be "real" 50Q, 51Q... no longer 50.3, 50.4,...)

Note: this is NOT a stacking system as proposed in "General Discussion / Re: Update to Mining, Harvesting and Fishing Rules!". The result is not the same as stacking items manually: in exchange for automatic stacking, some quality is lost (rounded down).

Technical note: the above calculation shall be done only if quality>=50 (that should be always true for dug ores) and 1<=rounding<=250. The rounding parameter should be forced to be integer, the only "reasonable" values being 1,2,5,10,25,50 (and the "extreme" 250 that keeps only 300Q ores, all other ones being downgraded to 50Q)

Tricky, but versatile ;)

Linux Specific Issues / Re: Not rendering anything 3d [SOLVED]

For your information, PS can run with the radeon driver!

I would not recommend it however, as I had to reduce shaders to lowest setting since PS 0.5.9 (but 0.5.9 brought me back the display of landscape outside towns, instead of  "everything's black" since kernel ~2.6.40, which is a good trade-off ;)

So, as said before, amd/ati native driver is still better for PS (much faster, and hopefully more reliable: amongst other things, I had no all-black problem when I tried it...)
