Game client modified by Gilbertus

[sabinati]

ok for starters, all you are going to need is the mac osx universal zip file (http://www.mediafire.com/?tltxyj6ymallaab) and the new jar file from spiff (http://havengoons.com/gilbertus/haven.zip). unzip the hh-osx-universal.zip file to a folder, open the folder, unzip the haven.zip and copy those files into the hh-macosx-universal folder to update it.

now open Applications/Utilities/Java Preferences.app, drag the 32-bit java version to the first spot so that the client will use 32-bit java instead of 64-bit.

now in your hh-osx-universal folder, open run.bat in textedit. add a line to change the directory to your game folder. in my case, the game folder is in Downloads/hh-macosx-universal/ so now my run.bat looks like this:

Code: Select all

cd Downloads/hh-macosx-universal/
java -Xms256m -Xmx512m -jar haven.jar moltke.seatribe.se


save it, close it, and rename it run.command. double click it. then go get yourself a clean pair of pants.

This is literally exactly what I did (plus about 2 more hours of random fumbling with various versions and files) a couple hours ago and now I've got it set up and working perfectly. Just quoting this post for posterity since I could never really find much information for getting custom clients up and running using OSX so this type of information is a Godsend to anybody out there who's struggling with it.

Is that legal? It makes cartography skill useless. You know...

When you reply to something, you might want to quite it, to show people what you are talking about. Also, your question is probably better suited for the Map the world thread.
To answer your question; I haven't seen it declared illegal anywhere.
From a practical perspective, the developers can't ever hope to prevent it. If it is made explicitly illegal, people will still do it, but in a secretive way. One could argue that would be counterproductive, since right now, they can at least see and know what is going on, and base game decisions on that.

ingame cartography is, actually, still quite useful in many ways

You made me curious...

well there is of course the lp from mapping, and it helps you get every section since you have visual feedback, and region maps are awesome.
