[Dec 09] Mini-feature: Party fixes

[loftar]

Just in case anyone was wondering why the client needed to be updated, I changed the party protocol a bit, and it's kind of unextensible, so the old client would have crashed anyway if it received the new party messages.

The changes were mostly under-the-hood. The changes you'll see visibly are two:
* When someone is inside a house or similar, his arrow will disappear rather than point to nonsense places.
* The colors of the party members are kept on the server now, which enabled me to color-code party chat messages according to the color the speaking part has in the party.
EDIT: One more, actually:
* Parties with more members than the fixed five will have random colors assigned to the extra members, rather than them all being black.

EDIT 2: I guess I might as well take this opportunity to announce another mini-feature that's actually been in the client a while now: you can adjust the volume of the sound effects by typing ":sfxvol VOLUME", where VOLUME is a number between 0 and 1. For instance, ":sfxvol 0.25" will set the volume to 25% of normal. It is properly saved between sessions.

That's it.

I was wondering what was up with that. Mind pushing the code so I can update the client? =D

[loftar]

Oh sorry, forgot that. It's pushed now. :)

Oh, I thought I had modified it properly to be visible against the background. I guess I'll have to redo it.

I logged on only to be kicked out moments ago...
Oh well back to work...
Nice change though...

Still can't interact with 6+

But aside from what malt said this is an excellent update!

[Sarien]

Seriously, the 2 minute warning...

Right in the middle of a bear hunt. Couldn't get it killed in time. Lost the only arrows I got. For text friggin colors.

My rage knows no bounds. It will never die.

Never.

What do you mean? Don't they get displayed properly?

This is turning out to be quite a problem. If I modify it too much, it won't fit the color scheme anymore.

You cannot chat or memorize etc... anyone in the party that joins after the first 6. Right clicking does nothing for them. And even for the others the radial menu is so out of whack it's mostly off screen anyway.
