It's probably a good sign the character can be refreshed.

Might want to see if someone on Discord can help.

borderless fullscreen with decent scaling (>1 monitor)

There's an update below

[hr]
Instead of staring at a small window of pixel-perfect 800x600 on a modern monitor, I wanted to scale it up. I only have a 1080p monitor so 1600x1200 wasn't an option. DxWnd only seemed to have the one bad scaling algorithm that meant resolutions in-between had some ...

STATUS: ERROR: Could not establish connection

Loading the client, logging in:

STATUS: Connecting to server
STATUS: ERROR: Could not establish connection

I also re-downloaded the client and neither executable worked (v2.50.09 & v2.50.18).

I was probably last online a month ago without a problem (v2.50.09).

(Feel free to refresh character ...

I think it should be added to a character who is rb2 or possibly attached to some future rb3. As it is, my belief is the inactivity timers have benefited the community over the long run by driving activity. However, with the introduction of raid gear/rb2 the time commitments/player coordination ...

Having a look at v2's dd.c and dd_load_png, I suspect it's related to bit depth. And I notice v2's png files are either 24bit when using the pink mask and 32bit when using alpha for transparency. I'd previously saved these colour-masked png files with Paint.NET's 'auto' bit depth which pngcheck says ...

Yep, same dimensions.

Today the custom inventory image has loaded but the errors still appeared upon using /depot. Three in a row. [s]The image has not been changed.[/s] I think I'd re-saved the image the other day at specifically 32-bit depth instead of 'auto', in Paint.NET.

Edit: Another ...

"rowbytes!=x*4 (32)", possibly related to /gfx ove

19-1-2021

"rowbytes!=x*4 (32)"

Happened after or within seconds of picking up a purple flower while walking around town, and immediately x2 after opening /depot. I'm wondering if it's related to /gfx overrides, as a number haven't taken effect, including the inventory screen. Below is the unloaded ...

Haha, it wouldn't be the best way to play but I think it could be done half well. Some especially customisable button combinations could be useful, e.g. cast a selected spell in a particular adjacent direction. Perhaps something like hold a trigger button to zoom, etc.

Aranock as Nintendo Switch homebrew

It's a huge undertaking and almost entirely unlikely to happen but.. how about it! The Switch homebrew scene is very lively and a port of Aranock's client as homebrew would probably net a good number of new players, and invigorate the community. Well implemented touch functionality with a few ...
