As far as I can see, the major \"bug\" of this game is the lack of lamer-filter.....

I would like CB as a xmas perssent
And sens we (here in sweden) celebrate xmas the 24th of december, I say the 24th december

I would guess it means that thay hope that thay will not encounter any diffcult buggs or other problem that would make ther cristmas unhappy and delaying release of CB.

If posible, I will aim for Shaman like...
But that realy depends..

I think this is a myth. I don\'t consider ASM to be some inherently superiour language that magicly makes any program written in it perfect. No, it is my impression that, regardless of the language you code in, you\'ll end up with the same percentage of bugs and non-optimised code if you take into account that you can more easily create more complex programs when using higher-level languages. Therefore, if you write a VI clone in ASM, I\'d actually expect way more bugs in it than if you code the same thing in C++.

Also, it is my impression that compilers have gotten reasonably good at optimising code, considering the myriad of different processor types and extensions out there even for the x86 platform. Maybe a coder who is extremely familiar with one architecture will be able to produce code that is more optimised for that platform, but I also think that the coding time will be way too big for any serious program to consider a pure ASM approach.

ASM still has it\'s merits, but as everything else, it\'s not some \"universal way to the light\", so to speak.

I however must acknowledge that I have only basic knowledge of and experience with ASM, so maybe I\'m wrong on this. OTOH, if I were completely off, ASM would be in greater use I think, so...

Anyway, back on-topic, I think that the /spawn command will be in CB as well to avoid this, at least in the early stages. It\'s still alpha, after all. Maybe you\'ll have to message a GM to /spawn you to avoid abuse.

It was not my intention to add to another fare OT.
And I think you have missunderstod me quite much.
I wrote that _maby_ a ASM aplication that did what today is considered a very simple task. Could be perfect code. (note MABY)

However you are right, to write a game or any aplication of todays standard would generate so much code that the human factor would add to MANY more bugs.

My point was only that as long as the human factor is involved, ther will never be a perfect code today.

Even after a long debug, it is almost impossible to make the game code perfect. I hope, that I won\'t get stuck in some... ...unwated places... But I expect and prepare myself to meet some bugs along with CB...

I believe in the opensource worlds advantage of actuly fixing buggs faster than the capitalistic companys dose. So I will not expect more buggs than in any other techpreview

I will probably be stuck in battle in some arena due to a bug...

LoL, how optemistic
Dont you have any fate in the devs debugging work?

I will explore it all and when the game come to that stage, advance in my own speed
And will always help others in need, aslong as thay are not some jackass...

You might also want to consider player level in the fall damage..   No level 1 player is going to think it\'s very fun when a 2m fall kills them, while a level 10 player only loses 2%hp..  so should it be normalized to a % of health?

I\'m quite sure that the fall-damage will have to be tweaked quite significantly.  What about sliding down slopes, or hitting a scrub halfway down a cliff?   Is damage calculated when you hit the scrub, then again when you hit the ground?   Does fall-height get reset when you hit the scrub?

Also, should there be a cap on maximum hp lost?   In DAoC, for instance, you would lose up to 99% from one fall (or, if the fall was extreme, 100%, but this required a huuuge falling distance), so it was still quite hard to die from one silly mistake.

Also, how would you train for ths \"safe-fall\" skill?   Jumping off ledges like a lemming?  

Hmm.. now lets see... to have the fallingdamage be a %age of the HP is a good ide!

The \"Safe fall\" skill I took from EQ (wich I am a adict to) and yes, it actuly works like that to raise the skill, well and with a limited number of trainingpoints per level.
And it actuly works quite well I think.
And that the Safe fall is trained by falling is quite realistic to me.
As you would in reality would get experience on how to land safe, major by practising it. and a minor part would be knolage of how to fall safe as u lern in the sport Judo.

And what do u mean by Extrem fall?
It would seam quite strange to me, if a non experienced character didnt die from like a 30m fall. Unless he was very lucky.

And to calculate all surounding factors, would ofcourse make it more realistic. But somewher u need to draw the line.
Afterall, what is most important to use the server/PCs calculating power for?
