Problems after the 0.3.012 update
« on: October 25, 2005, 01:30:14 am »
I hope that other users find this thread and add their issues here, instead of creating more threads...

- The font sizes got changed, almost everything is bigger now. I\'ll have to try to revert most of them to get back some efficiency in window placement.

- I don\'t see any walking motion. Neither for my character nor for others. We seem to slide around for my PoV.

- In the Death Realm, I don\'t see the teleporter sparkles.

- In Kada-El\'s tavern, standing one step behind the doorway, I have some strange \"candle flames\" in my eyes (statically positioned, but only visible for certain angles). I wonder if this may be related to playing as a Kran, having jewels as eyes...

For the joining problem, do a Update, Recovery mode, that should fix that.

i have a bug, i am not gaining either Experiance, or progression points for the tefusang i kill, i have to check if its the same for other monsters. My chatbox says that i gained 50 EXP. but my % EXP doesnt change, nor my PP

I am having curser problems. When i try to look at my stat\'s my curser goes all wierd and I can\'t control it :( the only thing I can do to stop it is hit [ctrl] [alt] [delete] and click into that window so that I can move the curser up to close PS.....
Also my third person view is so far away. I try to reset the settings but it doesn\'t change anything.

I edited the xml files for buddy list, chat window and info window to change all the font sizes took 2 off most and 4 off anything over 16 :)

You do get your experience points, they are just not shown in the info window. If you reload the game, they are updated.

So, what\'s this recovery mode thing? I can\'t find accurate information about it, just mentioning of the word.

\"Updater (recover mode)\" was a shortcut shipped with newer windows installers. All it does is call \"updater -auto\", so if you don\'t have one you can do that yourself. Of course, it wouyld be nice if everyone had one from the start ;)

Sangwa, if you are always missing the mouse, one problem might be that you are using the wrong Gui skin? try changing that in pssetup.

Aaaah, I use linux so no wonder I couln\'t find it :P.

Thanks alot for the help. I\'ll try using the different skins  too.

EDIT: Great the cursor is working. I must have some kind of gypsy curse on me though, seeing that right when I have  everything working the server goes down  :P.

To be more exact: I do not see animations while I watch someone. But it may happen that someone changes the position while I do not look there. Examples:

Some Menki sits down while I don\'t look in this direction; when I turn around, I see the model sitting down. When I watch the sitting motion, I see the swords slide down, but the 3D model does not change meanwhile.

To be more precise: It looks as if the flames are not on the candles, but shifted into the room, somewhere into the free air. But if you try to get nearer, they disappear completely. I guess that they disappear because they would be animated on a close distance.



Also, the flame bowls in front of the temple are empty for me. The magic candle near Sharven does not sprinkle as well.

I just moved the whole \"arts\" folder away, and updated again. The updater downloaded all the art files again. I will check again as soon as the server is up again.

-either you dont gain experience or it just doesnt show on the display.
-stamina doesnt always go down.
-character stops attacking if you move or click on anything.

The Problems that i encountered after the update:

The client is horrible laggy - sometimes i get no more than 2 FPS while my CPU is almost in use (Athlon XP 2GH, ATI Radeon 9600 with 256 MB, 1GB Ram) - sometimes the world freezes and after a few seconds it is comming back (still laggy of course, since the update the smoothness is gone).
I do not know how much health or XP i got - because the bars are freezed to the state of the last logout before the update (i simply die with full health bar).

The good news is, that the fall damage works now - the bad about that is, that i sometimes died by fall damage after jumping on flat ground (just standing on plain ground and then pressing the jump-key).

While fighting sometimes the monsters become unattackable and some weird message appears on the screen (not the \"too far\" one - that is still another problem, that occurs from time to time too).

Also i think, that the graphics bugs have become children - now there are much more corners and edges, where i can see the sky.

But not all become worse than before the update: i looted a plated longsword of whirlwind and sold that to Boralis for more than 10000 bucks (my char is an axe fighter and does not use swords) - now the money problems are gone for some skill-ups ;)

I guess I\'m only experiencing three big problems since the update, other than some of the ones mentioned in earlier posts.

-the path between towns is extremely dark (it\'s so dark I have to angle the camera upward and use the outline of the dark hills against the not quite so dark sky)  I\'ve only gotten lost acouple times, and it\'s not time of day related because I was online off and on for the last 13 hours and it\'s always dark.

-the fall damage works so well if I slide down a steep hill I die.

-sometimes the pointer sort or freezes in the center of the screen, all keyboard commands seem to work but no mouse. If I move the mouse real fast it will move slightly but snap back to center before anything can be clicked.  Only way to make it stop is to quit and restart.

-and I really miss climbing, seems I can\'t get a grip on corners anymore.

My client crashes repeatedly.
It crashed now two times after a few minutes or seconds of playing.

The last lines say the following:

Code: [Select]
BuildAppearance
:
  Failed to set trait   mesh=\"0\" mat=\"0\" tex=\"0\" shader=\"0.7,0,0\"/> for mesh.
psclient.bin: coreanimation.cpp:240: void CalCoreAnimation::getPose(float, std::vector >&) const: Assertion `time >= 0.0f && \"time must be > 0\"\' failed.


So I assume there is some problem with the hair color or with its animation.

I also recognized that my custom keyboard commands aren\'t saved, but I don\'t know if this is due to the client crashes or something else going wrong.

Typing and grammatic errors may be safely ignored, they come without charge ...

Same thing\'s happening to me. I was slicing some monsters over at the arena when suddenly I crashed. It keeps crashing so I can\'t play with that character, but the other alts work fine...

Code: [Select]
BuildAppearance
:
  Failed to set trait   mesh=\"0\" mat=\"0\" tex=\"0\" shader=\"0.7,0,0\"/> for mesh.
psclient.bin: coreanimation.cpp:240: void CalCoreAnimation::getPose(float, std::vector >&) const: Assertion `time >= 0.0f && \"time must be > 0\"\' failed.
Aborted


And my shortcut keys aren\'t saved either :P
