One note i would like to add: There is not much player to player exchanges in game. People sell stuff from dungeon in shops and buy the +4 amulet lying in shop. This, amongst other things, breaks economy of game. I know currently running server have players with tons of stuff and money, difficult to reverse tendency. However, one way to stabilize a bit economy (for new players at least) would be to have shop offer very poor price when player is the seller (Hey, shops are basically selling, not buying :) ) and have shops limited in the quality of items created (artefacts and powerfull common stuff should never be found in shops, this would increase their value at eyes of players) currently if a player wants to make money, all he has to do is loot stuff from city hall and such (like table, clocks) and sell them. This is should be corrected too. Imagine you enter a computer shop and tell the vendor: 'i have a CPU to sell', do you really think you would get anything from the vendor? You'd better try your luck outside store proposing your cpu to clients (even if the vendor might get out with a shotgun :p) ___ crossfire mailing list crossfire@metalforge.org http://mailman.metalforge.org/mailman/listinfo/crossfire

Re: [crossfire] Quest/Maps idea
On Thu, 13 Oct 2005, Preston Crow wrote: I was just thinking that it might be cool to be able to set an entrance to point to a different map if you've completed a quest. For example, once you've completed the old Scorn undercity quest, the next time you enter those maps, it could be a happy under construction place. (Or perhaps, the hole was re-opened, and there is a fresh horde of much nastier monsters this time...) Interesting idea, but wouldn't this also create some problems for players? Using your example - one player completes the old Scorn undercity quest. That player will never be able to go back to that mapset to help another player (who has never been there), to collect a specific monster part (treasure, etc.) because they know right where it is and so on. But then, they would have a whole new map to explore if/when they do complete the original quest. Is this incentive enough or enough of a reward to compensate for not being able to go back to the original map? On a somehwat similar thought, what about map entrances that vary based on time of day or other event? For instance, during the day a castle contains royal guards, no wondering monsters, etc. But at night, interior map is replaced with ghosts and other nasties.

[crossfire] FYI: SourceForge.net: CVS service offering changes
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I'm sending this to the mailing list as an FYI - Original Message Subject: SUBJECT: SourceForge.net: CVS service offering changes Date: Thu, 11 May 2006 16:56:49 -0700 (PDT) From: SourceForge.net Team [EMAIL PROTECTED] Greetings, You are receiving this mail because you are a project admin for a SourceForge.net-hosted project. One of our primary services, CVS, suffered a series of interrelated, critical hardware failures in recent weeks. We understand how frustrating this CVS outage must be to you and your users; however, our top priority remains preservation of the integrity of your data. The series of CVS hardware failures prompted us to expedite the deployment of planed improvements to our CVS infrastructure, drawing upon much of the knowledge that we gained from our Subversion deployment. Our improved CVS service architecture, which we plan to deploy tomorrow afternoon (2006-05-12), will offer greater performance and stability and will eliminate several single points of failure. The Site Status page (https://www.sf.net/docs/A04) will be updated as soon as the new infrastructure is rolled out. In the interim, please read the important information provided below to learn about how these changes will affect your project. Summary of changes, effective 2006-05-12: 1. Hostname for CVS service Old: cvs.sourceforge.net New: PROJECT_UNIX_NAME.cvs.sourceforge.net This change will require new working copies to be checked out of all repositories (so control files in the working copy will point to the right place). We will be updating the instructions we supply, but instructions that your team has written within documentation, etc. will need to be updated. cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/gaim co gaim would be changed to cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/gaim co gaim 2. ViewCVS We are moving from ViewCVS to its successor, ViewVC. ViewVC is currently in use for our Subversion service. 3. Sync delay Old: CVS pserver, tarballs and ViewCVS provided against a separate server which is a minimum of three hours behind developer CVS. New: ViewVC will be provided against developer CVS (it will be current). CVS pserver will be provided against a secondary server (not developer server) with a maximum expected delay of two hours. Follow-up work is planned (this infrastructure takes us 80% of the way) to essentially eliminate the sync delay. 4. Read-only rsync service As a new service offering, we are now providing read-only rsync access against developer CVS. This allows projects to efficiently make on-demand backups of their entire CVS repository. All projects should be making regular backups of their CVS repository contents using this service. 5. Nightly tarball service Nightly tarball service is being dropped in lieu of read-only rsync service. Projects which currently depend on nightly tarballs for repository backups will need to begin using rsync to make a backup copy of their repository contents. We see this as a major functional improvement. For a number of reasons, tarballs have fallen out of sync with the data in the repository at times in the past few years. Tarballs required a substantial amount of additional disk, and I/O to generate. The move to read-only rsync allows backups to be produced on-demand, with an update frequency chosen by the project. 6. Points of failure In the past, developer CVS service for all projects was provided from a single host. CVS pserver service was provided from individual backend heads based on a split of the data. Under our new design, developer CVS and most of our CVS-related services are provided from one of ten CVS hosts (count subject to increase with growth). Each host is independent, and makes a backup copy of the repository data of another host (which is used to provide the pserver CVS service). Failure of a single host will impact only the availability of data on that host. Since the data is split among a larger number of hosts, the size of data impacted by an individual host outage is substantially smaller, and the time required for us to restore service will be substantially shorter. This rapid architecture change has been made possible specifically using the research we performed for our recent launch of Subversion service. We've applied our best practices, produced a substantial amount of internal documentation, and kept an eye toward maintainability. This effort has allowed us to deploy this new architecture quickly once hardware was received, and will permit us to quickly scale this service horizontally as growth and demand requires. Many other minor improvements have also been made to improve the service offering and make it less trouble-prone. The most important of which are listed above. For a full description of the new service offering, and for information on how to use the services described above, please refer to the site documentation for

Re: [crossfire] Potions of Life
In order to deal with this, I'm planning to soon re-balance potions of life by adjusting their costs, level limits, and how often different ones appear in treasure lists. I'm thinking of making the level limits as follows: up to 20, up to 40, up to 105, and then unlimited I think there should be more of a level breakdown for the potions. Otherwise, I suspect, people in the 'teens levels will be cleaning out the newbie areas for the easy potions. I would propose something like this: Up to level 10, level 11-20, 21-40, 41-80, level 100+ With pricing in shops along the following lines: 5pp, 40pp, 300pp, and then the last only being obtainable from alchemy and treasure. I think that pricing looks reasonable. Assuming the level breakdown I mentioned earlier, pricing like this: 5pp, 25pp, 625pp, 1000pp Okay, maybe not that sharp of an increase - it just seems that if there is a pattern or explanation for pricing structure, there is less confusion by players. In addition, I'm thinking of making either: 1) Up to level 5 or 10 unaffected by stat depletion at death If this is implemented, there should be some sort of post-death message (instead of the usual You have Died! You have weaker, less healthy, et al.) indicating this information. And, then some sort of message display at level 6 or 11 letting them know that now when they die, they will be depleted and what they need to do to restore those lost stats. or 2) A NPC in the house of healing which can give free healing of stat depletion to characters up to about level 5 or 10.

Re: [crossfire] Crossfire won't work (several errors)!
For example: if I open a .txt window and move it above my Crossfire window, then close the .txt window it still appears to be there even though it's not - proof that Crossfire have frozen. The files I'm using are just the Windows Client linked on the Crossfire page (1.11.0) and Pidgin 2.4.3. What version of GTK ? The issues you described with the screen not refreshing or appearing to lock up - I have encountered them as well when GTK had some sort of conflict with the running app. What server did you try and connect to? There is at least 1 server that does not work with recent clients. Anyhow, I tried to solve it myself by removing everything and saw the Windows users use this: thing on the Crossfire site, some GTK thing, and downloaded it but when I tried to install it it said a newer version of GTK already was installed. I've tried searching through the entire computer and I have deleted everything named both GTK and Crossfire but still it sais it's already installed. The 1.11.0 client did work best with GTK+ Runtime Environment 2.10.11 Earlier this week (2008-Aug-04), a new snapshot release was made and that looks to use GTK+ 2.12.9 An install HOWTO is available at, http://wiki.metalforge.net/doku.php/windows#gtk_2_runtime_environment So, right now I've installed Crossfire (1.11.0) again along with Pidgin but now when I try to play it sais libglib-2.0.0.dll is missing and reinstalling might help. My guess is because I deleted all GTK files earlier - but since there is some fraction of them left somewhere I can't reinstall them to solve the problem! Try re-installing Pidgin? Try installing GTK+ 2.12.9? Any hints on how I can completely delete GTK? Add/remove software and searching for GTK doesn't work.

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Raphaël Quinet wrote: Hi, Looking at the current set of maps and especially some of the recently added quests, I see that several high-level maps can only be completed using melee. Ranged attacks are useless in many of these maps because magic and prayers are blocked, or because the monsters reflect spells and missiles, or because they are immune or highly protected against most attacktypes or diseases and they are too high level to be charmed. Most likely the maps were made this way to prevent the Charm Monster kill pets abuse and the summon earth wall, cast deadly disease and wait abuse. =-/ I would like to balance that by adding some quests that can be completed without too much trouble using ranged attacks (spells or missiles) butare very hard to complete using melee. However... there is no easy way to do that. Map designers can easily block magic and prayers in a map by using no_spells floor, but there is no such thing as a no_meleefloor. As long as weapons can have nearly any and all attack type, I don't think there is any way to make a monster immune to melee attacks. Not an easy approach or change to implement: all attacks get a category; melee, spell, prayer, missile weapon. Then monster(s) could get a category immunity (or immunities) thus making them only take damage from (i.e.,) missile weapons. I have been thinking about various ways to discourage melee, but I am posting this message to the list because I hope that some of you have better ideas. Currently, the solution that I am thinking about is to allow melee but discourage players from using it. For instance, the monsters could have very low WC, hitback and a nasty combination of attacktypes such as acid + cancellation + weaponmagic. Maybe these monsters could also be mixed with other monsters having ghosthit or death in their attacktypes. So attempting hand-to-hand combat would result in damaged equipment and a high risk of being killed. But maybe there are better ideas? Do you have any suggestions? Some ideas... Monster has an aura like spell, similar to Flaming Aura - but the damage is extremely deadly or dangerous to the player. Upon death the monster explodes in a small radius (area of effect) a very damaging spell. Nearby bullet or firewalls have an attacktype that the monster is immune to, but the player(s) will still take some damage from. For instance, a immune to hellfire demon in a room that has bullet walls swarming the area with bolts of bullets with the attacketype hellfire. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIxVpAhHyvgBp+vH4RAvxHAJ0RSxkeSDONuVErN1Gszol4X97S0wCeJsiE iHiN6par3G0f1FSPzk3FrMo= =g0Ks -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ crossfire mailing list crossfire@metalforge.org http://mailman.metalforge.org/mailman/listinfo/crossfire

Re: [crossfire] Materials
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I wonder whether to enable that (extended material) support by default and fix issues, or totally remove it. What do you think? What I found to be irritating about the material code was it made inventory management much more annoying. Specific example was Boots of speed. Instead of have (let's say..) a stack of 6 boots, you would see all individual boots because they were all made of different material (leather, snakeskin, etc.) So, only way to see that items were made of different materials is to have them show up individually in your inventory or item stack. On a side note.. As I recall, the intent of the original author was to deploy a questing system where a NPC would ask for something like a gold dagger and then the player would provide that to get a new item request (i.e., granite stone axe.) I personally liked such a concept, but not enough to really want to endure the issues it causes and mentioned above. So, unless some new ways to deploys this can come together, I would vote for removing this feature. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iD8DBQFOB4avhHyvgBp+vH4RArETAKCN1W9+ZiR6VWXgm4Bt3cmmeIPb+QCeImjl Af5fojNj+3v76pqBiveExnA= =V+4Z -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ crossfire mailing list crossfire@metalforge.org http://mailman.metalforge.org/mailman/listinfo/crossfire
[crossfire] Metaserver host move, 2011-sept-08
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 The metaserver hosts (v1 and v2) used for Crossfire will be moving to a new server on 2011-Sept-08. The server IP will be 63.170.91.103, the host name (as in the web address of crossfire.real-time.com) will be unchanged - but may take a few hours for the DNS change to fully propagate. For many people this move will go unnoticed. No changes need to be made on their part. For those who have special firewall rules, port forwards, etc. this *may* require an rule or setting change on your part to use the new server IP address. Those who play Crossfire from behind a firewall may also need to make rule or setting changes on their side as well. Anyone who has a server that is listed on the metaservers, no change or update is required on your part from the Crossfire side of things.

When a player dies, that field is increased by appropriate amount- exp_loss += (exp - exp_loss) * death_penalty_ratio. Then, any earned experience after that point gets applied to exp_loss first, and only when that is zero, does exp get applied to normal total.

[crossfire] Fwd: [Crossfire-devel] Compiling crossfire-server on FreeBSD 9.0
Cross post.. -- Forwarded message -- From: Kevin Zheng kevinz5...@gmail.com Date: Fri, Jan 27, 2012 at 9:33 PM Subject: [Crossfire-devel] Compiling crossfire-server on FreeBSD 9.0 To: crossfire-de...@lists.sourceforge.net Greetings everyone. Today I decided that I would take the latest trunk version of crossfire-server and compile it on FreeBSD 9.0 from source. For anyone interested in going through a similar experience, crossfire-server doesn't like compiling on FreeBSD, but with some modifications to the configure script and makefiles, seems to work fine. So, here's what I did. 0) Do all of the preparatory work (grabbing arch, map, server, linking arch into server/lib, etc.) 1) Created configure with the standard sh autogen.sh 2) Change the shebang in 'configure' from #!/bin/sh to #!/usr/local/bin/bash. FreeBSD's /bin/sh isn't at all like bash, and seems to choke when looking for Python. Bash seems to work fine. 3) Change all instances of '-ldl' to '-lc' in 'configure'. FreeBSD doesn't have a -ldl, because its dlopen() is in the standard C library. 4) ./configure with your favorite options (mine is --prefix). 5) Change the '-ldl' in server/Makefile to '-lc' 6) gmake install (instead of FreeBSD's default make) And it actually compiles. And here begins my 'bug report'. For me, it doesn't work. When I load up crossfire, everything starts out fine...

Re: [crossfire] Quest-based leveling?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 The idea being that instead of leveling, one would do the quests, and level almost like a side-effect. So what you propose a player would only gain exp when the complete a milestone in a quest - such as recover an item, slay a specific monster, etc.? Instead of gaining exp for all the monster slaying, item identification, and other skills - it would only be when the quest objective is reached? I had a brief experience with a game system like this. The things that made it not very enjoyable (in my experience) was some of the following: Would need to find a group to solve a quest, only to have a person leave early or a bad member/player and the whole group would not achieve the objective - thus no exp. Server crash in the middle of a quest (especially a multiple hour one), would have to start over with no exp gained yet. Could not just quickly log in for a few minutes or hour or less and make progress after level 5 (might have been 10?) Would have to set aside multiple hours in order to play in order to accomplish something. This game also made changes so that money and item rewards were only obtained when quests were completed.
