Wasn't suggesting it wasn't a bug, just wondering why something being a bug excludes it from a workaround... but you're the boss! Keep on keepin on and thanks.

another sneak peek at the cartographer.

Nearing completion! The biggest restriction is currently that the map will be lost when teleporting / switching characters. Resolving that won't be easy or pretty, and I don't think I'll bother for the first release. Currently some more testing is underway, but the update should happen soon TM.

Your continued work on the custom client is fantastic. Thank You!!!

I was wondering about the possibility of a small feature on the character selection screen.

Sometimes I "Switch Character" from the options menu in game and return to the Character selection screen only to find that I should have logged out and into another account. As far as I know, the only way to log-out from the character selection screen is to close the client and reopen it. Otherwise, I have to log into another character on the same account then choose Log Out from in game.

Is it possible to have a LOG OUT option on the character selection screen that keeps the client loaded but allows me to log into another account? It isn't much of a problem to work around the issue, but perhaps others have wished for the same option?

Thanks, your work is invaluable to me. I am not sure how much I would play Salem without the custom client and your continued efforts to add features and improve usability.

it shouldn't be too hard to implement - on the list.
For now you can use the console (typing ":lo" and pressing enter will work. ":act lo" won't, however).

I never considered trying the console commands

No problem now that I know this. I really appreciate your response!

New update: server location changed to the new domain (game.salemthegame.com). Nothing visible for you guys, except that the server transfer shouldn't affect your ability to log in.

On a side note: I screwed up while developing the cartographer (I was lazy

) which means a temporary version was "leaked". The major restriction is the exporting of images, which will currently only save a picture of the onscreen of the cartographer rather than ALL previously seen tiles. I'll write a miniguide on its use in the morning (quick version: scroll button selects markers, right button moves/creates markers, dragging while pressing right button will drag the map).
Oh, and it can be opened with ctrl+X.

Feel free to mess with it, let me know something if you break it.

Also: scalable chat fonts. I forgot about that. Again, not tested very well. Let me know if it breaks

After the most recent update I crash automatically on login. I tried a few times with a few different characters. Ender's client does currently work for me.

edit: I tried clearing the cache but it didn't help. With the standard client it just hangs on the black loading screen. Ender's still works though.

I second this post ^^^
No matter which character on which account, as soon as the client finishes loading the UI (but before my character/area) it will crash.
Thanks for the info on enders client though

Enders won't even load for me

guess ill play rift of lol until update because i refuse to use the original.

PS. Just an idea i had Latikai (although i somewhat doubt its possibilities)... Is there a way that u can make an in game option where one can input the amount of ram they wish to allocate to the client? I have to run a batch file to tell it how much to use (5gb) because after some play time (shorter time if u switch characters or teleport a lot), the ram usage causes the client to crash.
I just think an in-game option to change the amount of allocated ram would be quite user friendly

EDIT: I know the cartographer is currently in its 'alpha' stages... but i think having an 'inport map' option would be excellent. that way i can open my 47,000 tile map and add markers etc to it.

Thanks for a great client, keep up the great work.
