Ray...haven't you been playing your own game long enough to know genka? don't act like a noob :P

/kidding

Meh, he's joking. If he says that he isn't joking somewhere in the post, then believe him.

...I dont think genka has a char that people know about. somehow, I doubt he just chats all the time.

I wonder what his REAL charactor does..

Probably mines his way up to 30 ;) lol

I'm not joking.
I'm pretty apathetic to the situation, regardless of how advocative of it I might seem, but things being as they are, I'd prefer chat to be damn hard to log and the active players list be an image or something. (so it's harder to just pull off the HTML.)

Edit: I have five characters. Red Team Cat, [syn]n00b, a character my brother used to play with back in the fall of 2004, Kot Begemot, flux capacitor and Baron Koob, which I restarted recently to get rid of the damn trader tag. That's it. Sorry to disappoint.

... and a sixth char which you leave open so that you can berate the noob-du-jour.

Genka, if you're really worried about someone figuring out your chars, take 5 minutes between logging off with one char, and logging on with a new one, that's really all it takes.

Seen you online as Syn noob and Baron Koob, never the other two, huh.

Im in agreemnent with you Genka, but im not quite sure about making chat logs extrememly hard to actually log.

Eh? What sixth character?
Yea, I didn't name the char my brother used to play, because it's not mine to reveal, or play. And I haven't played it in recent history. (I think I clicked it on accident this summer)

And no, I don't give a flying shit if someone finds out what my alts are. I'm more worried about someone making a detailed list of everything they know about me and selling it to some spam company, so that I can then enjoy a life full of excellent offers, relevant to my geographic location, education levels, and pretty much everything else I might reveal without thinking too much about.

How's about it, caucasian grad student living in the US (california), with a concentration in physics?

OK, BACK ON TOPIC!!!

Inc. just showed me a possible fix to why my G4 tower was not getting past the "entering world" screen....

Try editing your config.ini file to "doshaders=0" and relaunch!
Let us know if this helps you out..I think there were 2 or so other issues like mine. (slime 73 and nuthou5e)
My beta client works now!

great! ;) What do you think of it?

nope, that didn't work. Thanks for the help though everman.

This is what I have in the config.ini file

[refgl]
illummap=1
envmap=1
bumpmap=1
tc=0
minfilter=9987
maxfilter=9729
specular=1
windowmode=0
textureresolution=0
texturequality=32
gamma=8
def_freq=0
tfactor_hack=0
doshaders=0
dovertexbuffers=1
doindexbuffers=1
do_compiled_vertex_array=1
do_env_combine=1
do_extensions=1
vbl=0

and then my character list

Genka would prefer that there be less accessible evidence to incriminate him when he's being an ass in 100.

/ope

umm, genka http://www.viperguild.com/wiki/index.php?title=User:Shape

I'm only a little caucasian.

And as far as people using that junk to spam you, lets look at the relatively minute possibility of that happening vs. the only way people can currently get in touch with one another. This is a small
community, and if someone sees that another player is on, they may log on. Its one of the few ways to keep up contact.

Lets also consider what information a company could POSSIBLY glean from that.

The log on/off times of a number of players? whose names give absolutely no information about the person? Or where they live?

I'm sorry, I don't see what information spam companies could glean about you from this, and it would seem to be a complete waste of their time, considering that they could get more valuable information about other people with less effort

OK, please stop now.

hehe... Shape, you kill me... :)~

(and thanks for being one of the few that actually keeps their page current, somewhat)...

Oh... for the record: http://www.viperguild.com/wiki/index.php?title=User:Seta_Ralel

and there are those that have *started* their pages... but alas... for whatever paraniod reason didn't finish...

BTW, this is *not* a forum to gather statistics... that's too easy elsewhere... but rather a RP *enhancement*... there's a wiki for the game... why not the players?

Oops... hey Ray... uh... move along, folks... nothing to see here...

Wooo new beta
and, yes, beta is kind-of a misnomer.

I noted the change of chat to the error.log. Since this new client is in the works, what about implementing a "full featured" log that was seperate form the errors.log and kept a cache of chatlogs, for more than one login. Along with an option for players to disable logs.

Would keep private conversations out of the relevant information on CTD.

yeah, sorry bout that ray

Beta 2 update posted. All future commentary is to go
