Who is Your M.U.L.E. joined the game in slot 2
BDIV: good morning mule
Rubicon: what bug is that?
Who is Your M.U.L.E.: hey BDIV :)
Chuckie Chuck: Known bugs now : 1. "User is not responding" in development phase, is a bug in the client not sending host enough frames during development phase, any connection hiccups, you're done.
Rubicon: oh
Chuckie Chuck: 2. An audio bug, slows down some computers excessively, temp fix, turn off the sound in the game, but they hope to fix it for next release.
Rubicon: neat they replicated the game exactly the way I remember
Rubicon: are they planning on keeping it free to play?
Chuckie Chuck: 3. Been playing with the skin option as of yesterday, and it's kewl what you can do, but evidently, everyone has to use the same skin to play together. My temp fix, make multiple data.jar files and rename them to use the skin I want, so long as the client sees me using the skin titled 'default'
Chuckie Chuck: As far as I know they are
Rubicon: nice
Chuckie Chuck: anyways, here is the link for details about skinning the game.
Chuckie Chuck: http://www.planetmule.com/forum?topic=331.0
Rubicon: cool thnx
Chuckie Chuck: You'll find 5 sample skins that have been created, potential is endless.
Who is Your M.U.L.E.: BDIV, i see uschi has opened his own game, we need to get him over here....
Chuckie Chuck: None are officially released, I have two of them because I made them, but they haven't officially made the skin feature function, probably because it's a back burner project, but it would be cool if they debugged it enough so us experimenters can play with it more.
Chuckie Chuck: Uschi is a bot
BDIV: what chucky said
Chuckie Chuck: Look at the stats and the chat records
Who is Your M.U.L.E.: oh - didn't know that, thx
BDIV: i found it out the hard way
Who is Your M.U.L.E.: :( thanks, good to know!
BDIV: i also found out some players have been deliberately creating lag in the games they host for an edge as well
BDIV: ironically they usually lose
Who is Your M.U.L.E.: i've seen that, lol
Chuckie Chuck: lol
Chuckie Chuck: Funny
Rubicon: nice
BDIV: well the lag doesn't counteract the randome events that totally kill people
Rubicon: ppl always find a way to cheat - sigh
BDIV: the other day we had an issue where the average ping was 75
Chuckie Chuck: I've always played wireless, I'm thinking about plugging the ethernet cable in this week sometime to see if that improves my ping, best I ever get on wifi is 130
BDIV: which is nothing yet whenever we had an auction the host always seemed to win even if he was totally behind
Rubicon: I have a 126 ping at the moment
Chuckie Chuck: I can't imagine intentionally making more ping
Chuckie Chuck: lol
