Amber Client

Small bugfix update mostly to fix the avg quality calculation.

New:

Option to completely hide crops (dev. b0r3d0m). See Video Settings.
Ctrl+Up/Right/Down/Left snaps ortho camera to N, E, S, W respectively (dev. b0r3d0m).
Option to automatically select 'Harvest' action. See General Settings.

Fixed:

Average quality calculation.
Growth stages for bushes not showing.

Version for Mac OS X/Java 6 is here. It finally has updates checker enabled.

I've also updated top post with a link to alternative resources for beehives and trash stockpiles which have their animation disabled. It may or may not help with performance.
To install unzip and place res folder inside the client folder.

anyway you can make the auto replant function prioritise higher quality seeds to be replanted? currently it just takes it in order of right to left, irregardless of quality

Seconded. That would be amazing.
Another nice addition would be to devise a system using the "mine-sweeping" idea. With tiles changing color as you figure out whether they're safe, unknown, or most likely a cave in.

So we lost two villagers yesterday casue they thought its a good idea to afk in the wild and got face raped by a bear.. (I know right!)

Can you make a feature to show corpses? is that at all possible not sure if a corps is seen as a new object by the server..

Also i know i have asked you for this 2 times and you said you will get to it and hate to nag but its getting desperate here with all the nooblets that need to be shown what to do.

PLEASE please add ability to point to objects in the game world ..

it use to be that you can press ctrl+ left click and the item you click on flashes different colors..

P.s i still love your client most and use only it.. Thank you for your work

Bump, knowing where a corpse is would be really helpful to get your stuff back, it's a pain to replace all of the stuff you're carrying.
Also pointing stuff in game world would be a cool option to have while talking to other people, no more ramming your head against the object you want to signal.

awesome client! although would love to see the old Ctrl+click green flash effect to point objects out or target people to screw around with them. It would also be awesome to be able to turn effects off such as smoke, lighting from fires, bees, replace hearthfire animation with something stationary, and same with dream catcher animation.

ohhh right the alt + left click to highlight objects for other players to see, that would be nice to have again.

Also did you talk more about displaying time of day in game time? Or did I miss that maybe lol. Thanks again for updates bro

Client crashes for me after loading assets.

Here's the log:

I'm terribly sorry for asking this, but is it safe to use this client? By looking at the World 8 Screenshots folder, it looks like I'm the only person still using vanilla lol, but I've heard people saying it's not safe to use custom clients... Is it true? Or can I use it without worrying?

Looks like a damn fine job, by the way. Congratulations

Thanks!

I wanted to add some sorting option to alleviate that issue. Most of the time you would be moving seeds to a container anyway before planting?

Something like that would be nice to have. Sevenless suggested it a while back but I haven't looked into it yet.

It's on todo list. Don't have any corpses/skeletons atm to test so it's waiting for that mainly.

Object highlight will be in the upcoming update most likely.

There is an option in General Settings to print server time (every 20 RL minutes or 1 server hour) to System chat.
[I don't like having too much crap all over the screen that's why it's not a separate window or such.]

First try installing 64-bit Java http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/ ... 33155.html
If that doesn't help try updating video driver using the vendor's drivers/soft and not through Windows update.

I guess it would be pointless for me to answer that question

Indeed, I was expecting replies from other users I guess - but I couldn't resist the features so I've taken your compromise and dedication with the client maintenance as enough evidence for my trust. I'm loving it already, though I must admit I'll never use nightvision or remove fluff items for I think the game is beautiful with them, so thanks for keeping these as a toggle
