Question about getting a certain character.

[Dridmar]

Hello. Since I've been getting errors and it's been hard to join servers, I would like to try playing some 'singleplayer' msc. I don't want to start a new character for it because I won't be able to get any of the rare items by myself. My character won't work because my only item of worth is a Thornbow. Can anyone let me use their strong character for this 'singleplayer' or can you (Thothie) hook me up with any strong character?

 

[Thothie]

PM sent.

Should point out, however, the high end maps are more multi-player oriented than the low end ones. So even with a high end character, you'll be rather restricted in where you can go.

What's been making it hard to join server's anyways?... The usual 255 client msg error?

Yes. For me, I get that error 98% of the time and it's rather annoying to try and 'retry' 15 times to get onto a server.
Edit: Also, what is the steam ID of...Shuriken or another high level player?

 

[Thothie]

I'll - leave that for them to decide if they want to tell you... You have the test character right? He should be a really well equipped level 30.

I *HOPE* the client message is fixed in APR2008. We *think* we know what it is, and a client recompile should fix it, in theory. It's not 100% so it's a pain to duplicate.

STEAM_0:1:11746083 slot 1 if you want mine, though I thought the test char was better.... gear might be dated I suppose.

 

[Thothie]

Yer one of three I use from time to time... But my primary test char is artifically generated, as I keep tweaking his stats to different levels to test various difficulties and functions. The one I put out in the test pack is artificially generated with straight 30's and most all the major equipment.

Okay, I tried it but when I click it, I crash and get the No free edicts error.

sounds like you get what I get, this version of MSC to me seems very buggy, as it stand I have re-installed it. However its done nothing for me...

I must say it makes my job of checking characters a pain the ass when I go to open their inventory or do some other mundane task and it just closes no error no nothings, that assuming I can even get that far.

 

[Thothie]

Meh, again, hoping next release will fix the 255 error... If we get the model consolidation done in time, it'll free some edicts too, but it isn't looking likely.

If neither of those things get fixed... I'll start considering rolling back the code end of things and just re-apply functions that are actually in use. However, that'll basically mean the end of development for MSC on the code end. (I don't see anyway the script end would cause the client 255 msg error.)

I vote the patch be delayed as long as it takes to get model consolidation =|

 

[Thothie]

I think I'd rather fix the 255 bit with a patch if we could - I think that's the biggest priority right now... However, once we START the model consolidation, the SC.DLL is useless for everyone without the models, so it's tricky.

Yes it is... >.>

Second'd.
Has anyone even tried to talk to Orochi? :| He sounded near-done...

 

[Belmont]

He told me in-game the consolidation was done and ready to go (5 days ago?) (even left Thothie a message) but I don't know if Thothie ever recived it or not...

The model is done. The scripts are not. Thothie has it handed out to several people, as there are a lot of scripts to change, but I, personally, have been too busy with school and other RL things to work =\

If it comes with detailed instructions, I could help with the scripts or whatever, I seriously need something to do at work today, I wasn't expecting to be here all day...Damn, I'm so bored, I could pick up coding. xD
