CHAINMAIL running for a while (trial basis only)

[Greylock]

Took a look around for a few minutes. The items are in inventory, but I don't think they work. I get "uses items special ability", but nothing else. Can't tell with the saving pen, but I waited for someone else (pc) to log in and can say for certain the scry pen didn't work.

And dang, but the undead in Chainmail are hard! Don't even give a guy a chance to run away. The soldier henchie did well to stay alive for while, but even she gave up the ghost eventually.

Made the mistake of speaking to Silvanus in the Fugue Plane as well ;p. Can we get a few racial deities at some point? I know, I know. Demanding little gits aren't we ;p.

sounds like an associated script is missing

Someone was waving the Staff of Anduin around the other day, which is a PoA-specific artifact!

Ahem, *look ruefully* sounds like that could be one of my chars. I told them not to do so, but they never really do what i say.

Well, to be honest, i thought we just explore that module to make up our mind about it; never thought that i may ruin the play-experience of someone else. I just wanted to seek out interesting places and didn't want to die (or see someone other dying), so I used it, unreflecting.

I think i will create a Chainmail specific char to wander that realm.

I am realy liking this. Last night I ahd a chance to paly a bit and made a new character. Eo an Elven archer. A fighter/mage 1/1 going arcane archer route.

Now as to game play anyone else have problems with soldiers not attacking?

I tried to play around with custom macros to control them but even though the command was input as a whisper it ended up a shout.

I suspect it is lag related the soldiers tend to quite a bit ive noticed do the "lag" induced stand and waver..as if they are about to attack but dont. However when the number of things on screen reduces and lag subsides, left ot thier own devices they will attack anything that comes near.

I've made an attempt to fix the PC Scry and Saving Pen. Let's hope they work this time around!

Has anyone seen Elendiel recently?

What times are people generally around? I couldn't find anyone to play with me on PoA so it was very limited--the sewers were really deadly, even.

Other thigns I have noticed.

1) I had soldiers under me. Was exploring and had to log off I am sure on my own not a crash. Day or so later when logged in they are gone and I am in a dangerous area. Is this normal? Would this happen with hired henchmen? Not a very good thing IMO especialy concidering we have to log out then back in to save.

2)Soul crystals how rare are they? I ahve one and if sell to rogue merchant it is worth 2000. With this scratch I could get a couple of helpfull items. But if they are rare better for me to hold on to it.

All depends if the server crashed between when you first had them and when you logged in.. which is almost certainly the case and the reason they were gone.

For the record I got to the bottom of the soldiers doing nothing issue also..its all down to the talk commands that are included as part of chainmail.

When you have soldiers if you type attack they will attack something provided they have seen it.. or if you type help they will come running to your location and engage if something is there. There is no custom format such as mentioned in the book all characters get of talk commands.. so dont use the/w ** format.. just type the words as normal in talk.

Likewise there was a problem in town whereby the monsters that spawn there when attacked by a player resulted in the town guard attacking the monsters and the player... this can be resolved by typing guards or help in which case the guards come running to attack the spawned creature but will not attack you if you join in.
