Warning - Account Management
If you check "save login" on login screen - the client will save your password, in clear text, either in your registry (Windows) or user folder (Mac/Linux).
This is inherently unsafe. It was added as a trade off between convenience and security after requests from multiple users and friends.
I do not recommend using this option.

Automatic study

• Enable by ticking AUTO in study report
• Will automatically insert curiosities to study from player inventory
• Checks for required attention and that the same curiosity is not being studied
• All other inventory windows will be closed before moving a curiosity
• Known issue: Does not check if curiosity can't fit due to size.
  
• If this happens it will go into a loop trying to insert it.
  • Will be fixed in the future

Cursor item hide

• Hides the item currently "held" by the mouse cursor
• Press again to restore the item
• You can walk around, interact with objects and inventories without putting the item down

Latest Version Download:

https://github.com/bdew-hnh/hafen-client/releases/ (all platforms)

To run the client on Windows double click run.bat or run-debug.bat.
On other OS: java -Xms512m -Xmx1024m -jar hafen.jar -U http://game.havenandhearth.com/hres/ game.havenandhearth.com

To run map stitcher on Windows double click combiner.bat
On other OS: java -jar combiner.jar

Combiner uses map/fingerprints.txt file that is generated by the client to know how to merge sessions

Combined maps will be in map folder. Original map tiles are never deleted.

For other developers

If you want to use my map saving system (that produces fingerprints for the stitcher) - see this. It should be very easy to integrate into any client.

The stitcher is open source (LGPL) and can be redistributed with your client if you want to.

Sweet, moar updates plz, resizeable minimaps

[satinembers]

Your stitcher is great, and I love seeing %. If you could add the moveable minimap and study lock that Amber client has I think I'd use yours the most.

[jeffy90]

i will test it when i get home it sound nice so far^^

[proknah]

Great client. Using it, because it has least flaws in comparison to other clients.
And the map tool is pretty good.

Another update! v1.3

  • Ignore known bad hashes (generated by older version of the client) - this should prevent some merging errors
    
  • Added: Multiple input folders can now be passed on command line

One feature I would like to see on any of the clients is a toggle to disable swimming.

Without the skill, you cannot enter deep water, but once you get the skill it can be a death sentence if you accidentally end up there. Would be nice to have the same sort of "block" as not having the skill, but as a choice.
