Where?

[Darkside]

well, I did give it a whirl tonight but didnt make any progress at all.

I first tried ender's github project - importing it and setting up a project. I tried to run the MainFrame class from eclipse IDE but it was throwing an error when trying to parse a piece of my project path, for some reason looking for an exclamation mark ("!") in it, which does not exist. So I gave up on that pretty quick not understanding why its trying to do that and why the ! is not in the path. This was in the Wiki class init method.

then I tried to just use the original salem-client to see if I could at least run that locally. after setting up a separate project for it and realizing i needed to download some res jars and include them I ran into an error in Resource trying to load "gfx/loginscr" where it seems to expect to find some layertype keyed under the string "image" but the layertypes map is empty. There is a part of Resource class that would load the layer type map where it seems to be scanning for certain classes which have the @LayerName annotation but its not finding any, even though I see a bunch of sub-classes in Resource which do have that annotation including one that has @LayerName("image"). so not sure why its not finding it and the code that loads these classes is in some other library so i didnt feel like downloading its source tonight to step through it.

Maybe it just isnt intended to run from the IDE directly I need to always build a salem.jar first? Or maybe there is some configuration I musse? Or maybe using Java 1.6 for this instead of 1.5 as it seems to be intended to be built with? Don't know... I'm a Java web app developer have no experience with Java client apps.

So that concludes my attempt at this

the biggest block this game has to making people want to play it is the pure and utter **** client, this is 2013 and people simply will not tolerate an interface that would have been horrid and unplayable 15 years ago.

why the ***** cant they just put enders client in the download link and spend 15 minutes making it work with each patch instead of their trash headache and nausea inducing one that the entire playerbase universally agrees is pure ****?

client was terrible before, then they go and force us into this stupid ***** angled camera ***** that makes you feel like your 15 shots into a hangover and looking through a backwards pair of binoculars, i've tried to log on and do mundane **** while waiting for enders and want to blow chunks after five - ten minutes. patches, content, gluttony reworks etc all should be much lower priority than actually making the game playable and not forcing new players to immediately log off out of physical necessity.

I used the default client and I died irl

[Claeyt]

I'm just worried Ender's is gone from Salem or on Summer break or something and the game dies because only the standard client is available.

Maybe ender got an email from a dude called Brandon Sears, and you know the rest. But what this shows is that the vanilla client of salem is unplayable and an instant turn off to most of the 85% of the people.

Jorb, Loftar take this day as a lesson.

Almost all of the players on Salem have taken this day off, hitting our Ender's launcher every half-hour or so. Please, Please, please...... I'm begging you. Make your client more like Ender's and Make the game more like HnH. Pay him to mod your standard client, whatever you need to get it done. The standard client is just unplayable after months of using his.

Camera Angle/View Range-You can barely see enough to work, and getting into tight fitting boxes and containers is just impossible. His freestyle camera should be standard.
Radar-I almost walked into a bear before I saw it. The View Range alone is just impossible to see anything, no animal/player radar makes hunting and PVP impossible.
Shift-alt, Control-alt-How are these functions not standard. Loading smelters and containers takes twice as long.
Grid-How is it even possible to play/dig/plant/place without a grid you can place to see it.
Mini-map-The mini map without the radar and with it being so tiny is just impossible to use.
Chat screen-why in gods name is there no 'x' button on the chat screen to click off chat lines.
2 hotkey lines-Why does the standard only have one hotkey line

Arrrrgh too many to list

Pay him for it and I'll buy a damn Redcoat package, but do something, if he doesn't come back to fix this, the game is dead. How many people have to say that his client should be standard before you guys realize that his is sooo much better. I'm sorry maybe you guys are too proud or something, but why, why haven't you incorporated his client yet?

[colesie]

Please, Please, please...... I'm begging you. Make your client more like Ender's and Make the game more like HnH.

Dallane wins?
