Sorry for beeing so "bugy" but i found a bug again:
the snakes(and maybe all other creature) can attack if between me and them is a obstacle.I had a bow and he could attack me and i could attack him as well.This bug can be a real benefit for the one who knowes it and could be exploit when the pvp is implemented(the snake could olso attack me if i had a sword).And one more thing.Does the script permit the snakes climb up/down the hill when they are attacked?.Because I hit the snake when it was down and I was up and I was able to hit him with the bow but the next momment he was up.
Btw: Congratulation for the optimizations made.My fps boosted from 1-2 to 5-7.

If you're using CVS version then that's normal since snakes map was still not updated on the server. Just wait for the next release.

hey, that's almost "almost playable"
just a tip, try lowering your colour depth to 16bit - for me, it almost doubles the framerate (to about 12-18). must be some weird sdl-windows issue, because under linux the same code runs great (30-50fps) under 32bit...

Maybe you set tmw to not use opengl on your windows box?

To increase fps anyway you could also try to run it fullscreen

Well opengl can not be set in my version(the cvs version), it appears in the setup(as a check box right?) but is disabled.Of course i run full-screen.Anyway I turned the colors to 16 bit as ktm said and it really works(from 5-7 to 9-10fps) but I turned it back because at 8 fps the caracter's feet start really moving(at 6 fps I didn't saw any animation) and that slows the game even more(the char is moving like a maggot ).Isn't the movement controled by the server?Or does the client only sends the new coordonates to the server?

You have to edit the config.xml manually for opengl.
