  1. Guys, I know Wurm isn't about graphics. I know most of the action happens in the Events window. But at the same time, can we do something about what's on the screen? For example shadows: at the moment during sunset or sunrise walls inside the structures are lit just like they would be outside. Can we add an option to shadow them correctly? Some objects do cast shadows, why can't walls too? C'mon guys - modern graphics cards are sitting idle while playing Wurm. And I don't buy that the game is using Java so it can't be done: Minecraft was written in Java and have beautiful Shader mods. Rather than creating another chair skin, can we get real graphics improvements? Make my RX6750XT sweat! ...and give option to disable advanced shaders for other players too.
  2. The Archaeology Stash Chest model is in the fully open (end) position when uncovered. When opened its animation cycle jumps back to the closed (start) position and gradually opens, cycling through the animation until it is in the final open (end) position again. This visible jump back to the start of the animation is distracting and in my opinion detracts from the experience. Ideally the chest model should start in the *closed* position when found, and stay closed until the chest is opened by a player, when the opening animation can then begin.
  3. I'm assuming this isn't possible since it doesn't seem to be an option in the graphics settings, but here goes anyway! Is it possible to change the texture filtering to "nearest", removing the blurry filtering and making everything pixelated? I want the game to look the way it "should" (imo), without any unnecessary blurring that just makes everything look muddy... And yes, i'm fully aware that most games aren't meant to have texture filtering disabled and might make the game look a bit wonky in some areas. I'm not new to this, but i am new to this game!
  4. There seems to be a hole or split in the *speed* horse model at the part near where the foreleg meets the body (called the 'elbow' IRL). I looks like a gap in the mesh, where the leg might not be joined properly to the body. It causes a constant flickering of the pale colour. The pale line is particularly noticeable when the horse stretches to put its head down to eat. It's difficult to show the extent of the gap in a screenshot, because it's the constant flickering as the horse moves which is more distracting. The muscle mass in the body above the elbow looks a fairly 'big' and proud to me anyway - sticking out quite far from the shoulder, and might possibly be made smaller, if that would help put less pressure on the joint. I've just noticed a seam in the back just behind the withers / shoulder:
  5. See GIF below: Within 6-7 tiles of distance, an (unfinished) ship renders in and out on screen. This looks very odd, the ship is huge and should be seen from at least 10-15 tiles away, eventhough its still unfinished. Eveything else seems to have a higher rendering distance ( trees, (high)buildings, carts & wagons, animals etc ). Also, for already finished ships, it would be nice to increase the rendering distance. Many times I "see" wurmians passing by (in local or as little dots in the distance ) on the ocean next to my house but most of them can't be seen and/or you really need to focus to see anything. Graphics rendering distance option is already on Maximum so that is not the problem here.
  6. Hi Potato fans Do you have an old computer running Wurm? Retrograde's comment about 'playing on Potatoes' in tonight's WurmOnlineOfficial twitch stream got me to thinking - How many of us are currently playing on 'potatoes' - old computers with old graphics cards, or maybe just computers that have to be on low graphics settings due to overheating or other problems... ...or maybe you prefer the performance or visibility on low graphics settings? It's snow joke, really I remember the first laptop I used to play Wurm had to use the minimum graphics settings, it was just too old. The screen was so bad that in winter with the low-detail snow textures, I really could not tell the difference between round cobblestones and rough cobblestones, in fact I thought they were interchangeable - I thought 'round' and 'rough' were a typo and meant the same thing. As I could see no visible difference between the two, I just used whatever materials were to hand, and when my courtyard was complete, it all looked fine and uniform ...until I got a new laptop and of course realised that it looked like a dog's dinner. I would love to hear your anecdotes, and see your screenies. Here's your chance to show us what a potato can do! Muse 💗
  7. I have been searching for a while now, And am having trouble finding any sort of documentation regarding what the "Minimum Computer Specs" For Wurm would be. I was also looking for examples of High end setups which where able to preform very Smoothly, especially ones that are capable of running multiple clients. Also, if a knowledgeable player or Dev was able to recommend which brand of graphics card is better to use with Wurm, that would be great!
  8. I keep seeing these dark shapes in the water. Sometimes they disappear when I move or turn. I am not using the modern renderer. This is facing south from U17 Deliverance, and seems quite persistent even if I spin around and move forward and back. Facing south-west: Also I can't help feeling rainbows are in the wrong place - in real life you're only supposed to see them when you face directly away from the sun towards the rain-cloud (the sun is always behind you when you see a rainbow) - this one is in the south-west when the sun is in the north-west - wogic? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow
  9. Froze so badly after update, had to kill process to quit. I was half way thru building a stone wall at the time. Forge was still lit on relog... and FPS have dropped from 60 to 30... Graphics on low settings are now abysmal, which they weren't before the update. And why do I use low settings? Because, using default settings, computer temp rises dramatically and FPS drops significantly:
  10. How much better the game could look like if the client side color saturation would be increased. Watch some more ingame footage with increased color saturation in our new Sklotopolis trailer:
  11. As of the last update, I see these odd squares and triangles of different textures around my roads. It seems to be on tiles that are half paved.
  12. friends after the update on April 26 my pc is running the game very slowly, I play on a pc core 2 duo - 2.93 Gz - video card - AMD - 5850 - and it ran 30 to 40 fps, but now it varies between 5 and 15 fps. Do you have any configuration to make and leave the game lighter?
  13. After the recent update the graphics have been glitchy, things flash in rainbow colors, mostly red in geometric patterns.
  14. Hi, This could be something to do with my settings. If so, please advise me where and how to change them. Thanks. Still getting some weird tile visuals (pics below are in the order I saw them) and the gates on my deeds keep opening by themselves - nearly all of them:
  15. I recently got a copy of Wurm unlimited, and one of the first things I tried was changing a tile to lava. I think lava as displayed on the wiki is beautiful and I want to make some designs with it. The lava I got wasn't the same one displayed on the wiki. The one I got was hideous and freaky. These are the two lava types I've seen: https://imgur.com/a/HQz31 The one I want is the picture with the lava spiders in it. Is it supposed to look like the other picture, or is there something wrong with my graphics? Has it changed, or possibly it's different from WU to WO? Is there any way I can fix this?
  16. I love the looks we have of many of the floors and roofs, from the top side. However, from underneath, it is very rough and unfinished looking, like you would only have in a barn, or crawl space in a basement. I would love to have a few choices of finishing treatments to apply to the underside of the roofs and floors. Plaster, fine carp, detailed stone work, repainting, etc. Maybe when starting the floor of a certain type (such as Stone Slab), you then have to choose an underside finish: none, plaster, box wood, beams, logs, clay tile, marble, mosaic stone, etc. For plaster and the wood options, should then be able to paint the plaster (also between the beams) to really liven up the insides of our houses. Would need to add extra materials to complete. Might also want to make it a stand alone option that could be applied to existing ceilings (roofs and floors), so folks don't have to rip and replace.
  17. I have seen various questions about correct settings but nothing about Sierra. I am new to Wurm and have never successfully run it before - it will load but the graphics "stick" and there are semi- to multi-second lags between frames when moving around. Even getting the settings window to popup causes a delay. My basic info can be found here: http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook-air/specs/macbook-air-core-i5-1.8-13-mid-2012-specs.html 4GB Ram, 512MB VRAM I have lowered many of the graphics settings (but maybe not enough?), I have a 25mbps internet connection and I can run other games (like elder scrolls online) with no problem. Apparently, I am using Java 8, 111. Anyone have an idea what's going on? Thanks.
  18. How about showing a fishing line extended somewhere to the side if fishing on boat, and to the tile when fishing on tile? doesnt have to be hoverable or such just eye-candy thing, would make for better screens
  19. New renderer performance seems pretty good for me, mostly better than the old one, especially when around a bunch of dynamic light sources. I'm getting 60fps (vsync'd) in most places, which is neat. ... Then if I go near trees, it goes completely to hell. Seriously, standing inside a single almost-mature young fir tree drops it from 60+ down to 45. Being in a fir forest brings it down to 10-15. Disabled transparency AA in NVidia Control Panel to see if that was the problem, but that didn't help. Also occurs at night, so I don't think it's shadow-related. System info: I'm 370% willing to help test what might be causing this, if anybody has any ideas or wants me to test anything.
  20. Ok, Since coming back, I've noticed the extra work my CPU & GPU have been doing, causing my fan to go into full on hair dryer mode. In the past, I used to run 8-10 clients with ease on moderate settings, but now 2-3 on the lowest settings can start the hair dryer. After a bit more research, I've noticed it is magnified around large settlements. That was also a factor before, but with whatever graphics update we had while I was away, it really is a pain to get near a large settlement/deed. So, how do we address it? I'm not a programmer, but I do like to imagine solutions from a layman's perspective, so please forgive me if my ideas are silly or impossible - or already attempted with no success. 1. Lights. We make deeds to show them off, as well as be functional. Lights bring them to life and we want them to reach far distances. Sadly lighting is really hard on GPU, with the color, intensity, bloom, shadow and whatnot. Allow us to choose the range we wish to see any lighting in client settings. 2. creatures. I use a long distance range for creature draw distance, because I want to know if I'm heading into a den of trolls. I also want to see the dragon from long range, but not the 100 blood catching alts. I don't care so much if I can see sheep and pigs from 3 servers away. Allow us to set the draw distance for human (NPCs and players), to make hunts and Impalongs much better and for agro or non-agro critters. I don't want to have my client draw the 500 horses living next door, but I do want to see that hell hound in the middle of my vineyard. 3. Inside Items. If there are 500,000 items in buildings, in the deed next to me, I don't want to know. I don't want my client to know. If I get within 1 tile of the building, go ahead and draw the items, so I can see them through the windows. "Draw items inside buildings when outside" (on or off toggle) Probably need the on toggle for pvp or something. 4. Outside items. How about we also set a range for the draw distance of these? Separate item and building draw distances. 5. Buildings. A large building is most likely being rendered by the client as hundreds of individual parts. If so, is there some way we can replace all those parts with a 3d rendering of the building as a single object? I'm sure this is some kind of programming voodoo that isn't possible, but if it were, we could eliminate 90% of building lag and still have long distance viewing of all the awesome buildings in Wurm. (also see #4) 6. Water. I generally end up using the lowest settings, with no reflections and low detail, which means there is a slightly opaque skin over the bottom of the lake/ocean, looking nothing like water. Yes, this is handy for finding out what you are sailing over and spotting lost items/clay/tar. However,it looks really lame. Could we also have a toggle for low QL water that gives a completely opaque slightly choppy water surface, with darker or lighter color to designate water depth? I can't imagine it would take much CPU/GPU to draw that and water would gain so much over what we have now. You could even have different levels of chop/waves, based on the wind speeds. Right now, sailing in a gale with glassy water is silly. For the distance settings in all options above, Please allow very granular settings in tiles: 1,2,5,10,15,20,30,50,75,100,150,200, etc. I think this would solve performance for 95% of all issues we have now, that aren't brought on by slow servers or slow internet. Boss hunts would be a breeze Exploration would probably not need relogging every 15 minutes Living next to the mega deed, or in a busy neighborhood would be fun again Sailing would seem much more realistic. I'm probably missing many great things that could be done to improve performance, but hopefully at least 1 thing above sparks an idea that turns into a better client experience. There are a ton of brilliant folks in Wurm, devs and players, so PLEASE pitch in with any fixes to my silliness above, or additions. Devs have busted their butts to make some great features in this game, so let's give them some ideas that helps us all enjoy those features better.
  21. this has ot been happening till i got a new laptop with an Intel graphics card. it causes shifting tiles like all of the other cases but i dont know how to fix it. i have fiddled around with the settings but to no eval.
  22. While woodcutting with a saw, the animation is for an axe and the sound is of a saw. Therefore I get to watch myself beat a tree with a hack saw while listening to something that sounds nothing like what I see. I don't know if this is the right place for this, if not I'm sorry.
  23. Alright so I started working on a Sphax PureBDcraft patch for Wurm Unlimited, cause it's by far my favorite texture pack for Minecraft, and I've been dying to see how it'd look in the Wurm universe So everything was going well for figuring out how to edit the textures and what-not, then decided to give the textures a test run before I got too far along and invested with em all, everything tile, and pumpkins seemed to be working beautifully, even better than I'd imagined it would turn out, but, the sprites for the grass for whatever reason were rendering the "background" (invisible part of the texture that isn't being used as part of the grass texture) was black, instead of being the see-through invisible that it should be. I'm just curious if anyone would know what would cause such a thing to happen =/ Including a screenshot of it for reference, though not sure how much it will help.
  24. My sister recently got windows 10 and http://i.imgur.com/MXjbB0l.png The weird graphics is different every time,most times cant even move. Any suggestions? tx zigon
  25. Since I've been playing wurm initially, the ground infront of me has always looked like this (http://imgur.com/a/YRmp8 ), the entire time I walk the two tiles infront of me look like the intended texture and then everything else is a buggy mess. After messing around with all of the graphics options I figured that it was just normal and everyone had to deal with it. Then I watched a few youtube videos on wurm while playing, and realized that it's not intentional. I went back into my settings, and remembered that I'd turned off GLSL shading because it made my character model bug out (http://imgur.com/a/Q6WzX ). When I turned GLSL shading back on, however, the ground infront of me problem was fixed (http://imgur.com/a/yxRVO) but now my character was a buggy mess. Is this something that can be fixed or just a problem that I'll have to endure without GLSL shading? PS. Sorry if this was in the wrong place, but I figure this has to do with the texturing of a model so I put it here.
