Re: after the update today

Hi i had take this gp from the bank account and suddenly the connexion to the server was cut. I'm sorry this happened. As o11c noted, we know this sort of problem can happen during a restart. I looked in the automated hourly backups from 33 minutes before and 27 minutes after the restart. It does i...

Didn't you say that @chardisguise shouldn't be used, even though it is?

Re: Sound Quality

Thanks for explaining the details (and historical reasons) between the different bitrates.
It certainly sounds like 48000 is a better choice for computer audio.

Re: new update

I highly recommend 10.6 if you can, it will run as smooth as 10.5 on older machines. I totally agree. I hesitated to upgrade because of my dog's breakfast of extensions and PPC/Intel apps (hello, Nikon!). For $30, 10.6 improved most things and broke nothing. If you're still on PPC, then good luck. ...

Re: Case sensitivity

Eventually we should require a valid email address for account creation. Why? The only reason I can think of is that this is just another attempt to abuse your power. Lucky me, I already have a game account with an invalid email address. I'd like to clarify something. o11c does not set TMW policy. ...

Re: Case sensitivity

Here is some data about how enforcing case-sensitivity might affect us. Total accounts on main server: 48787 Logins with same name, different capitalization: 170 (and no account has more than 2 "duplicates") Logins that use at least some uppercase: 19050 Logins with uppercase that have no ...

Re: Recording program

At least on a Mac, this is a feature of the free Quicktime Player. It saves your entire screen as a MOV.
Run Quicktime Player, then go to the File menu and choose "New Screen Recording" or press ^⌘N

Ouch.
It's a work in progress, and probably not treated as a production web site yet.
In related news, I hear that ebay gave up business earlier this week.

The command is !add not !sell
I doubt this is related to ManaMegan's problem (slightly different details)
Do you mean the problem that was fixed some months ago?

Re: [Testing] Dark Magic

Btw, is it possible to change path whenever we want? changing path is not possible. There's not currently a way to change your magic path. This can be added with an NPC or a quest. It could have a wonderfully dramatic storyline. For story reasons, I'm not sure it makes sense to be able to change ch...

Re: [Testing] Dark Magic

The summoning spells already belong into Astral Magic and the other three should fit perfectly into War Magic, why create a new school? Currently, the Dark magic path is inferior to the Light path. For example, it cannot learn Astral Magic. Light can learn every school of magic that Dark can. Do yo...

Re: Strange lag

Good catch! It does indeed look like tinet/GTT and Alter.net have some peering issues (oversubscription or latency or something). Unfortunately, as you say, Tier 1 ("backbone") carriers are not very worried what we downstream customers think. Server admins are nothing at that level. tinet ...

Re: ManaPlus features

I was so proud that I finally thought of some feature 4144 had missed (full access to automation features like /move).
Then I read the documentation.

Curse you, Red Baron!

Re: Case sensitivity

About the usernames... Before we make that change (which I happen to agree is necessary)... I wrote that before I tested actually registering a username with different case. The web page rejects my test with "The username is in use!" Maybe I'm missing something. Can someone else explain h...

Re: webcam.now.im (spying)

i'm not sure what official support meant myself. There was a word the tmw team would host the webcam themselves. Presumably to deal with privacy issues. I guess it meant the ignore list would be safer with them than with me. The webcams could have used some heavenly touches from GMs. Respawning the...
