Salem Client by Ender

[darnokpl]

hey OP, is there a way to add an option for minimap icons like bdsalem? it's the only thing keeping me from changing to ender, I tried to get used to color circles and triangles but the icons are just instant recognizable... I tried modifying the source code but got stuck at the auth part, getting errors related to certifications when I try to login with the modified client

I like those "circles and triangles" and other shapes too, thx to them map looks better than with icons imho of course.
BD got some feature doesn't mean Ender have to do it in same way, why they should make two identical clients?

Is this a bug on the client?
At first i was using my main but then i switch characters and use my alt, but then all crafting recipes, buildable objects, and combat skills appear on the menu of my alt. Even though he doesn't have the right skills.
Its not much but just letting you know.

Mmm. I looked for local toolbar-config data, but could not find them. ?

Toolbars now use config from default client, because loftar made 144 slots for it The only local config for toolbars is their position which is stored in windows.conf That way no matter from wich computer you play, your toolbat layout is the same. Minus of this is that custom actions are not supported at this time. Not much custom actions available right now, though.

I'm aware, that's why I used the word option, so it wouldn't change anything unless you activated it.

It's not about being identical, it's about the speed you can recognize something on the minimap. If you can look at a circle and instantly know what it is, congratulations, but I'm sure there's a bunch of people who wouldn't even care what's that and sometimes miss things. Also, think of the colorblind children?

Dude! I have just started playing yesterday, and after a long nice session using the updater client -the last as far as I have read- I could not log in again. It keeps saying "connection timed out" or "cannot reach server" and, sometimes, something about me being already logged in. When I close the client, I check if the java is closed, to kill it if needed, but nothing. Also, I was running Java 7, so I switched to Java 6, but no cigar. And finally, I tried reinstalling, deleting Java's cache, used CCleaner, prayed to the Ancient Gods and the New, I wept, and finally, I am here...
The strangest thing: I have noticed that I have trouble opening the forum or the Salem main page. I have to refresh a few times before they load. It is not so with any other page, my speed seems to be good.
Anyway, I hope you can help me, I really liked this game.
Cheers!

Actually, the friend that comes over and plays Salem with me is color blind. We simply went in and changed around colors in the XML file to colors that he could see.

I also had to add in a line to the XML to show claim stones, since he is both red and green colorblind (apparently, there are different types? Didn't really know that, but anyway...) and cannot really see the claims overlay.

Here is the line for claims, if anyone else needs or wants it, I added it in under the Custom group.

Code: Select all

<marker match="gfx/terobjs/claim" text="Claim" color="#333333" />

Edit: Actually, a request if it is possible. Is it possible to add in a configuration option somewhere to change the colors of those overlays, for just the above reason? It would be useful anyway, since it is hard to see it or the town claim overlay in the Autumnal Forest biome.

Yeah, you can actually be color blind in one, two, or all three colors (red,green, blue). I know a couple of other gamers that have partial color-blindness, so I'm always advocating for improving game interfaces for it.

I'm guessing you're using the Ender's client since you posted here. Are you having the same issues with the default client? Did you bother checking to make sure the servers were up when you get the "connection timed out" or "cannot reach server" messages? Have you verified that your network is configured properly to connect to the Salem servers?

Having other network problems? Checked your security software (hear a couple of programs aren't liking Salem or the Salem site)?
