A couple little annoyances....

[Erelas Haerotirn]

Hi all!  First of all I just started about a week ago, and it's been great as an after-work diversion.  Kudos to you all!

Anyhow, there are a couple things that are becoming a bit annoying:

1) Flickering when in window mode.
Random large rectangular sections of the screen will flicker somewhat rapidly whenever the game is in window mode, no matter the resolution.  It gets in the way of seeing stuff onscreen, and prevents right-clicks getting through to people/NPCs behind them.  Anyone know a quick fix?  I'm using a GeForce ti4200 AGP if that helps.

2) Pacifist character?
Sometimes when attacking a NPC I'll notice I'm not doing damage... looking at the System tab I see reports of the NPC attacking me, but it's as though my character doesn't want to fight.  All he'll do is receive damage, without even attempting an attack -- unless I click Stop Attack and run away, then go back to try again.  It's can be annoying to die by a Rogue this way...

Once again, not serious problems, just things I thought I'd throw out in case anyone knew a solution.  I didn't see any previous posts on the subjects when searching, but I may have missed them.  Thanks for your help!

P.S.  How do I add special characters to my board name?  Ex: "Erélas Hærotîrn"?  The register page mentioned it, but I can't seem to find it Thanks!

1)  Not sure what's going on there.  Try updating your drivers.

2)  Yes, there was a bug in the system there and it is fixed for the next release.  You'll just have to cancel/start the attack to get past it for the time being.

3)  I don't think you can get accented characters in much of anything, at this time.

Alright, I figured out #1!  Turns out Yahoo! Widgets (formerly Konfabulator) was refreshing the screen, interfering with the game's refresh.  Closing the program while I run PlaneShift means that problem's taken care of ^_^

I guess I'll just have to wait for the rest... no rush   Thanks for your help!

You can modify one of your shortcut commands while waiting for the next release with a fix. Right-click on a shortcut command and change it to the following:

Code: [Select]

/target clear
/target npc
/attack 2

(Psst...use /attack 1, it works better)
