Different Bugs/Suggestions
« on: August 19, 2002, 08:59:10 am »
First of all, the game looks great so far. I\'ve played it a whopping 10 minutes before I realized I couldn\'t do much do to the lack of players on at the time (just me) and the fact that I don\'t know much about it.

BUGS:
OpenGL runs extremely slow on my machine. 1130 Ghz Genuine Intel, Video Card:Mobility Radeon, 16 MG Memory. 512 MG RAM. Most games that I own that use OpenGL run smooth and fine. Don\'t know if this is a bug or not, or if it\'s just using a ton of memory to run in this mode.

The game is popping up in a full window. Not full screen. Any suggestions/ideas?

The magic book icon. When you click on it, brings up what spells you can cast. How do you close it? I spent 5 minutes alone trying to figure out how to close the spellbook.

In safe mode for the game (which I have to use, otherwise it\'s extremely slow), not everything is aligned correctly within the window. For starters I have to set my task bar to auto-hide so I can see the rest of the window. Some of the items to pick for your character you need to click right below the actual text/button to activiate. Again, alignment problems. Missing pictures for some of the races. I\'m sure you probably don\'t have the graphics for them yet.

SUGGESTIONS:
Other RPG\'s I\'ve played, when creating your character the starting stats were not quite so high. 27 for everything is just a bit too much. My suggestion is to lower them down, and have different statistics per race. A possible button to re-roll random statistics if the player doesn\'t like the current selection. I\'ve seen that one in only a few other games. Possible only 10 points to distribute over the current amount.

I\'m currently fresh out of ideas for the moment. Any suggestions to these statements/ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Well, you can\'t do anything at all right now (just walk around and chat to other players if there are any on)This is just a tech release so people can see what we are waiting for (like how the graphics are gonna be and stuff)

And because this is just a tech release it\'s rather buggy,
The engine is not totally finished yet so experiencing lag is pretty normal.
So don\'t care much about bugs and stuff, when the next version it out they will most likely be gone.

About that spell book isn\'t there some kind of \"B\" button looking thing you close it with?
As far as I know it is, i\'ll upload a picture later if you want.
Oh and as we almost dont know anything about how the next version is gonna be (thats when they acctually include stuff, skills, monsters, etc etc)
We can\'t really say much about the stats system, Because almost none of us know excactly how it is gonna be.

Hope this helped a bit and if there is anything else just ask :)

I have also heard that changing hte game to run full screen, rather than a small window actually speeds the game up in OpenGl mode.

Personally I would rather lag and run in window then not run in window and not lag, I like running in window, you can access desktop to easily, without and fuzz,
so you can listen to music and stuff in the meanwhile  8)
