Custom client by Latikai, building on Ender's client

Hey, i was wondering if someone could help me out.
When im on my home internet (only my home one), the update will update certain files every single time i open it, even if there is no update to be done. It just simply downloads the files for the sake of it, and everything i have tried wont work.
does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?

Using same or different pc? Maybe it have something to do with user privilages? Tried running salem in administrator mode?
You could create shortcut for salem but that would skip updating part. For that go to where you salem is stored(yourUSER/salem/bin/) and create run.bat file with this text inside:

Code: Select all

javaw -Xms1024m -Xmx1024m -Dhaven.resurl="http://plymouth.seatribe.se/res/" -Dhaven.defserv="plymouth.seatribe.se" -jar lsalem.jar

Might have to change 'javaw' to point to your java install path so it looks something like this:

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\javaw.exe" -Xms1024m -Xmx1024m -Dhaven.resurl="http://plymouth.seatribe.se/res/" -Dhaven.defserv="plymouth.seatribe.se" -jar lsalem.jar

Thankyou for your prompt reply
i already have the shortcut created, however i would like to use the original so i know when there actually is an update. Also, i am using the same pc when i move to a different network. Just tried running as admin and it made no difference

This is exactly what it does.
Note: this is the 2nd time running it, immediately after 'updating' and then closing salem

Well done on this client - sorry I never got around to praising it earlier! I've noticed it greatly increases performance on low-end machine to turn on raider mode for trees. However, what about windmills? I don't suppose we can request a raider-mode windmill? Those spinning blades sometime slow slower computers down as much as a breeze through a row of Grand Maples, in my experience anyways.

Do windmills affect your performance that badly? I assume that I could always stop it from animating, but I didn't think it was such a large issue (maples are generally an issue because they spawn the leaves which had some memory leaks + introduce a lot of new drawables to the scene). The options are called 'raider mode' for historic reasons, but their focus WAS originally to allow better visibility rather than increased performance of the client.

If performance is such a large issue for you, i hope you are already using Hans' pixelicious pack ? It can speed up the game incredibly by lowering the resolution of textures given to the objects in the scene. If you don't use it yet, it's definitely an option. All the same, I'll look into it (no promises though )

They do, especially on slower machines. Boston is a horrendous lag-fest and even being near and not facing a windmill can create click-lag.

I didn't have the pixelicious pack, but do now and it definitely helped! Thanks for the recommendation! I think, though, that increased performance (which in my opinion limits the opportunity to crash) is especially desired in raiding/hunting/pvp situations. Things like trees, windmills, and smoke effects are superfluous and could spell the difference between victory and KO or worse. Just a thought though

Hello!
When using your client i dont see home pointer.

Couldnt solve it whit switching pointer on/off.

Reinstalling all files didnt help.

Have any idea how to solve that?

[Kandarim]

do you actually have a home?
This is the first report I get of that kind of behaviour, and I'm afraid I don't suffer from it myself.
How exactly did this happen ?
Do you have the arrow home pointer activated (options menu)? try toggling that one as well as the standard homestead button which looks like this:

[Ev1lking]

I'm sure he just needs to enable it with the standard button. I just got this client and had the same problem but yea, all that's needed to be done is to press the button.

[vienradzis]

Thanks solved my problem
