Quick question- is it live on EfU? If not, when will you likely put in in?

Teri-sha Illistyn · 03-25-2004, 02:17 PM

Hmmm ok im confused. I added the hak packs to my character creation Mod and then used the toolset to make a Daikyu bow for my main character. Nothing fancy just wanted to try it out.

I came into EFU and appeared where I left the game last night, and my character was stuck... I could spin in circles but that was it. I also had no equipment, no spells, nothing, yet I was fully clothed.

I loaded my character without the new bow, and I could move around normally, but was still were I had left the game last night.

Any ideas?

Ross- get a download program, eg download accelerator and tell it to download it, leave pc running overnight and if the line needs to be free in the day, pause the download and resume it at night. The accelerator will also save the progress, meaning that even if you crash you have some of it still downloaded.

If it's not added to EfU yet it'll crasg the game as you'll take illegal content in it. So far I haven't seen that it had been actually added.

As of 4:00 P.M. eastern standard time in the USA Ziroc has not yet added the CEP to EfU so you'll just have to play alone at home until "Z" add's the CEP or, find a server that has added it. Bummer

Teri-sha Illistyn · 03-25-2004, 05:33 PM

I dont think it would crash the server, CEP would have included a warning in their FAQ from their testing of the hak pacts. I know Z hasnt implemented it yet, EFU was acting weird weather or not I came in with a CEP item or not. I tried a few different characters just to be sure I wasnt the problem.

Ehrys · 03-25-2004, 11:21 PM

Well, looks like EfU is still not recompiled with the CEP yet. The place works fine with my original characters, but if I take one character in with even a minimum of 1 CEP product, the game doesn't crash - but the game has problems translating the CEP products... hence the "stuck but spin on spot" and "loss of all stuff & spells" as well as your "character portrait" all showing up blank.

Not sure about the slow server response however... it would seem that if someone goes into the game with a CEP char, the server ping rate skyrockets (highest I saw was around 1500) and everything slows down... including this site (took me quite longer than usual to login and post this)... might be because the server/ game is trying to translate the CEP items unsuccessfully?

Guess we'll have to wait until Z has recompiled the mod with the CEP (no doubt he's adding quite a few new twists to the place now) before we can use characters with CEP stuff.

Question Z: will you be adding horses to this place to ride around on? That would be really neat! I wonder if anyone has created a pack-mule to carry things around? I remember having those in the PnP game way back when.

roddybug · 03-25-2004, 11:51 PM

I wondered what you were up to Ehrys! You put a character in, take the character out, in, out, in, out, spin him all about......

The character I was playinng at the time didn't have any CEP stuff but I think some of my characters have portraits from "the ultimate portrait pack" hak. They never caused any problems as far as I know, they just had blank pictures.

He won't do it for a bit Ziroc has already said.
