cRPG Technical problems / get_shader failed for: envmap_shader_normal_bump
« on: February 28, 2019, 03:21:51 pm »
I dinnae have that shader. As a result, game crashes during startup. I've tried repairing and running from WB launcher, but, oh woe, it's no use.

cRPG Technical problems / Installation Directory
« on: November 01, 2014, 05:28:36 am »
Sorry for double thread, made this in Beginner Help, but this is probably more appropriate.

Trying to reinstall, net not great.

I couldn't patch with the launcher, as it always breaks part way through, so I downloaded the latest version from ModDB MB Repository.

How do I find/change the install directory for the launcher?

I have a heap of WB installs for some reason and can't seem to find the right one. I want to unpack my download into the correct directory so that I can play with the launcher.

Sell/Trade / Selling +1 Bec de Corbin, +3 Throwing Axes
« on: January 17, 2014, 10:49:44 am »
Feel free to let me know what you'd trade for it. I'm not in a huge hurry to get rid of it (main weapon of one of my cavalry characters), but I do want to put it up for trade when it looks profitable to do so. Nothing exorbitant expected, I just don't want to make a really big loss on the thing. :)

Other than gold, I'm looking for bodkin arrows, a knightly arming sword and a nordic short sword at the moment. I have gold to make up a difference if the offer is a +2 or +3.


Edit:

New! I'm also selling my +3 throwing axes, similar deal, but I'm not using these ones at all, so any offer will sound a bit sweeter. Contact me here or by PM.

Game Balance Discussion / Power Draw is Neglected Perhaps
« on: January 23, 2012, 02:19:46 pm »
13 in Shield gets you an unbreakable barrier, 13 in Power Draw gets you less than nothing.

Maybe the game would be more diverse and enjoyable if this weren't so.


Currently, the time it takes to draw a bow to the smallest reticule, the time it can be held at its most precise and the size of the reticule at this point are governed by wpf.

It makes more sense for Power Draw to govern the first two, firstly because of the likeness to reality; in real life, holding a drawn bow is a simple extension of the feat of drawing it and relies on this strength. Secondly, it makes sense because it's never been remotely common for people to invest in more than 7 PD - it was unviable from the beginning, because of its limited sphere in comparison to Agi based wpf.

With recent patches, it has become closer to impossible to invest in a large amount of PD. Dedicated PD characters were completely destroyed by the introduction of wpf requirement (as if wpf should be encouraged in archers, it only makes them more annoying) - sit far below the requirement and you'll find you can find your 10+ powerdraw lowbow does considerably less damage than a level 1 with a shortbow. Without sitting far above the requirement, you'll still quickly find yourself run into the ground with repairs even if all you buy is a bow and one set of arrows.

I think this change has killed some diversity without offering much in return. It has always been most common for archers to invest in as little PD as possible and as much wpf as possible, so why mandate this? I can't help but think it was a change aimed at throwing, but placed on archery too just for the sake of it.

With the recent further change seemingly aimed at increasing the relative effectiveness of high wpf in archers, I wondered if this aspect of the class could be reconsidered.

No idea if it's possible to move effects from wpf to PD, hope archery viability can be better distributed across the spectrum of the class though, that being the sort of thing that balancing is normally about. Thanks for reading.

Is my best guess, because I was just perm banned from the AEF hosted server without any warning whatsoever (besides "i have just banned song" from the admin, immediately after he/she entered the server), having broken no rules that I'm aware of.

I hit a guy with Q+M+L and he was pretty annoyed (he polled me many times afterwards, and began team hitting my horse with his mates), but there is a system in place to stop leech kicking from being abused. I found Flame_of_Udun/Naked_Flame leeching twice and both times I kicked him for it. It occurs that this may have prompted him to ask his friend to ban me from the only Oceanic server for ever.  :?

Earlier today, the same admin team ordered a group off a roof while a ladder was up on the other side (and not accessable to them, but providing access to them) and later told a group to descend after their own clan mate had deliberately destroyed the ladder and while there were plenty of troops from both sides remaining on the ground. The admin team then insisted that people would be banned for using one of the routes on Otreum's Smuggler's cove map. I had been using that route (as the designer intended) prior to this announcement and I protested, because I don't think it's fair to the map maker to edit his map, in the editor or by decree, behind his back. I know that Otreum requested that the previous AU server take down his maps, because they had been edited without his permission. I advised the admin team to either contact Otreum or remove that one from their rotation if they objected to its normal use. I think that would be the only decent course of action, but maybe I was banned for this request.

On the subject of maps, the admins have bluntly refused to update their map cylce post-patch to remove the random plains etc. that now litter the rotation, some of these maps include sinking sand, most include trudging across mountains. There are rarely admins on to regulate this cycle and allowing map polls is against AEF policy.

After being informed of my ban, I asked for a reason, first in general chat, then in admin chat. There was no response.

I look forward to hearing a more reasonable explaination for my instant perma ban (which is contradictory to the rules stated on your server page) and if the admin team was monitoring the server on Naked Flame's monitor while he pleasured you (because certainly no admin was present in the server until the decision to ban me had been made), please tell me why his series of ill-justified polls went unpunished.

Hi, made throw/bow character to test the "less than a dozen circles of hell" theory, but at every round start I get the following message:

"Your proficiency in throwing weapons is too low."

I have the necessary Power Throw for all of the throwing weapons I own ( PT = 2 ) and the error message occurs even when I don't equip any throwing weapons (in fact it started before I bought any).

I also can't retrieve any throwing weapons; I had assumed this was a patch feature, but have since noticed that others can pick up my thrown weapons as well as their own.

Sorry if there's already a thread, I looked through the first ten pages and ran a search to no avail.
