  1. If you're on Windows, and don't have file extensions shown, (which is the default), then if you rename a .txt file it may actually end up being SteamAppID.txt.txt. In folder options there's a switch to hide or show file extensions for known file types, such as text file with the .txt extension.
  2. Thanks, this is what I hoped for, a limited application of the enclosure system, which I actually agreed with, but was open to abuse.
  3. So, changes to the land ownership system, which seems to be a return to the enclosure rules of old. A system which had benefits for undeeded players, yet also allowed some egregious land grabs through (technical) abuse of the system. While I applaud the return of a system which encouraged new players to build a starting area that wasn't going to be interfered with. I hope the introduction on New Haven will be used as a live test of the mechanic to avoid the dramas and problems associated with the old enclosure system. And that it's a mechanic, rather than just a rules based system.
  4. Eastern Plains has been a wildlife desert for years, I even tunnelled through the mountain by my deed to get to the south side where there's a chance of trolls and stuff ...
  5. I seem to recall someone like Me suggested this years ago, and getting shot down for it ...

  7. I can confirm this, also, if you snuff a lamp and relight it it reverts to the expected graphics.
  8. KellyT came to my notice by way of signs on Wild/Chaos during it's brief Freedom Hiatus, his signs were noticeable, 'KellyT is a Pirate', not quite everywhere, but certainly too many to remain unseen in my explorations. Later I went to Epic, where I met the maker of those signs, he and his pals killed me more than once, but it was kinda fun as well. Once, on Serenity, KellyT came calling, as he so often did, and not finding much action, sailed up and down Horseshoe lake a bit, until he chanced upon me, in local, now I was a pretty poor noob, and knew my death was certain, so I took off southward, inland a bit, dipping in and out of his local. After a bit of this, KellyT decided it just wasn't on, and proceeded to entreat me to get on the boat, pleaded with me in fact, 'We'll just take you with us, and you can convert ... Nope, not me, 'Pleeeease get on the boat' .... Nope, this went on for a while, and then they just sailed off... One of the weirdest, and hilarious episodes I had on Epic. Sadly the logs are gone, lost in a hard drive disaster that took almost all of my early Epic screenshots as well ... KellyT will be remembered, and I'm already planning a few signs, in his honour. An honoured enemy on Epic, I'm saddened, Wurm has lost a character, his legend will go on.
  9. If i recall, they do drop on the ground, but I don't often run around with a nearly full inventory.
  10. Usually the items appear in inventory.

  12. No, it's not the same, but I'm sad to inform you that Epic was promised that someone would look at Epic years ago, Epic is still waiting... It's dead because no one actually cared.
  13. It may, or may not be relevant to the portal discussion, but when Jackal was running there were some serious problems with portals to and from the different clusters, with players who played on Epic and freedom got 'entangled' if they used the 'wrong' portal, or used a lodestone after transferring cluster. I almost lost one of my main characters to this. I'm not certain the code does exist in the way you hope it does. I hope everything does work out, that PvP does get some love, but as a former Epic player, we too were told it was getting looked at, years ago, I finally gave up this year and quit Epic.

  15. Sorry, you cannot release or even delete Wurm characters once created, and Steam makes that even harder because characters created thru the Steam client have no password, instead they are linked to the Steam account of the person who created them. It would be easier for your friend to simply create their own character either using Steam, or the Wurm client, anything else might risk a whole minefield of account sharing issues.

  17. That only applies to Defiance, it does not apply to Chaos, so what prevents someone from Defiance portalling to Chaos? Or is it a one way portal, that only allows SFI players to port to NFI, and not NFI players porting to SFI? The current functionality on Chaos does allow you to simply, and easily cross servers into the rest of Freedom Isles, (SFI), you can even swim from Chaos to Independence, so the mechanics will have to be far from simple. At present SFI players can also portal to Epic as well, directly from Chaos, or any SFI server, what you're proposing is fraught with potential issues, such as the mix ups that happened on Jackal when people portalled from Epic to Jackal, and ended up with broken characters on all servers, requiring a lot of untangling by GM's. There are technical considerations you seem unaware of, it's not a simple case of porting from Chaos to Defiance, considering Defiance is actually, technically, a separate cluster only accessible by portal anyway.
  18. Would this be a one way portal? Since the only SFI PvP server is Chaos, which has an open crossing with the rest of the PvE cluster wouldn't this allow NFI players to cross into SFI purely for the purpose of accessing SFI? Just doing it through Defiance then hopping server? I mean this was my first thought, 'I wonder if I could my semi-defunct NFI player to NFI with all their funds intact, instead of waiting for a merge?'

  20. We've been through this before, with the merge of two clusters, way back when Pristine and Release were separated from the rest of Freedom. The economy survived fine, prices settled down, and basically everyone was happy at the resulting larger cluster. Merging the two clusters will present a number of other issues however, namely, what do you do with that pesky PvP server you have? What about the portals? on the old cluster portals are used to connect to Epic, on the new cluster, they connect to Defiance. There are a number of technical considerations, as well as the simple economic ones.
  21. Regarding the August 14th road update which included the single track and partial dual track gravel road from Shinra Highway, Eastern Plains ( 58x 38y - 62x 37y ). Well sorry, but I've now dual tracked, regraded and rerouted some of it of it, and it's now catseyed and fully connected. So a resurvey will be required whenever you can manage it.
  22. Recently had a player get confused by the 'Metal needs to be glowing hot while smithing.' message. This is understandable when there is no 'Glowing hot' stage now, and any of the three glowing stages allows items to be worked on. Can we have a small change to the message, since it mentions a stage that no longer exists (Glowing Hot), and perhaps just 'Metal needs to be glowing while smithing.'
  23. I'd draw the line at letting us actually name them, but yeah, giving the tower guards names from a list, like horses and the like is perfectly doable i'd think. Only reason for not letting us name them is because someone will absolutely give them 'offensive' names. +1 ( with caveats)

  25. Still an issue it seems, tried to give a tower guard a troll club, and it didn't work.
