Re: On Character Creation/Backgrounds

It has come to my attention that a few things need to be spelled out about characters created on Hala. So here are a few rules, this set may increase as time goes on and other things are brought to my attention. These ONLY apply to characters created on one of the Hala servers, either Hala or Ysgar...

Had a similar problem with an 8500GT, It basically boils down to a backwards compatibility problem. I ended up changing a few options, it's been a couple years, but I think I ended up gaining success with going into the NVIDIA control panel, and making sure the following was done.

I gave modern medicine the finger.

MRI results aren't back yet. But last night I had to go back to the ER because the medications they put me on about put me into a figurative coma. I told them to ramp up the Therapy sessions and to take me off as much of the meds as possible. Left side limbs hurt like hell now. But hey, I have feeli...

Yet another update.

Thank you all for such warm words and thoughts. There is no bone damage, and so far I'm feeling pretty good. Unfortunately,due to a few tests, and some of my own issues, they're concerned that I may have received some nerve damage. Only time will tell. I'm released, and I was allowed to return to a ...

What Xan said is essentially true. It's possible we have an old file in the server override or something that's breaking the fix that was in 1.69. I have yet to test this on the server. And as stated, it depends on what he was fighting. However I did test in single player. Ash's Morning-star should...

The resistances in that area are calculated against morningstars as if they were bludgeon. That's what the above change is mentioning, If they had only 5 resistance to piercing, (Instead of none.) They would take more damage from the dual-damage type weapons, It's a strange anomaly about the way it'...

(Disclaimer, this is by memory, I could be wrong.) Halberd, Morning-stars or creature weapons are coded to be affected by the LOWER of resistance/immunity. Before version 1.69, the higher resistance affected the damage, not the lower one and before version 1.66, the higher immunity affected the dam...

Possible, yes, but also ridiculously time consuming as it would mean editing each chest. Its also not realistic and there may be instances where someone may want to break a chest for IC reasons. It would also be just as easy to remove all the ondeath scripts from the chests, so that if you blow up ...

While I agree, I can attest that it's not always easy to avoid destroying things when monsters appear with chests. I've been doing my best to use spells with Rykolyn that do not destroy things, unfortunately, it's not always possible, Chain Lightning in particular is a common spell for me, and it's ...

Still having issues. But some have reported that their summons are "Stuck" On Hala for example, Ryk's level 9 is always a basilisk, where as on Ysgard it randomizes, Both servers do not respond to the crafting menu commands, and Gate still gives me the Naked Dwarf. Other spells being tested.
