I realize that I should've released several fixes and updates by now, but with the release of the new guilds, I'm wanting to get the new skills included before I upload version 1.35. Being a bit pre-occupied myself, I'm willing to pay a few credits to anyone who can send me XML updates that would add Harmonics and Transmology triggers to Treant. (I'll check them over and edit as needed, of course.) I'm sure at least one or two of you have already made the updates to your own copies, so why not profit from your work? If interested, contact me.

Also, I have reinstated the dingbat costs for all things Treant, for those of you who have Elite memberships and prefer to part with dingbats rather than credits. (Yes, you can usually get a better exchange rate in the game, but I do appreciate the dingbats.)

Thanks.

I dunno if you're actually using gear.lua for anything these days, but I fixed it last night if you want.

Didn't know it was broken, though I do use it. I always appreciate bug fixes.

The trigger for the rift parsing was kaput. Sent you the new one I've been using.

When they made the fancy new output, I let people know that you can use OLDIR to keep this working. Personally, I'm not a fan of the fancy IR, so I haven't updated it until now. Thanks.

I must have missed that. On the bright side, now you can grab SHOPRIFT too!

Ethelon's system is terrible and you should scrap it in place of Treant, not to mention I would not just Ethelon either.


Ethelon has commited a giant no-no in the past apparently where he created a trigger that would shut down the entire system by sending you a tell or something, thus destroying whatever trust I would personally have in him as a system developer. Not to mention his system falls for silly illusions like movement. Which means that if Esano used FalseVision on you to make you think you got gusted southwest, you'll immediately walk northeast into the Megalith and guards.

While Treant has its flaws, I respect and trust Larkin and his work on a much greater level than I do Ethelon.


It's rude to lie. There has NEVER been a trigger to do any such thing in my system. In my very first version of AG, from about 3yrs ago, I did install a clan check that disabled the system for a couple months due to someone selling my system as their own. This has been removed for over a year now and nothing in the system shuts down or disables the system in any way. As to the illusion issue, that was fixed when it was brought to my attention. I'm always updating teh system and fixing bugs/flaws... usually at a much faster pace than the other systems available. As a side note on how my system runs, I have users of Ceren's system who use both and say my curing is comparable to his, better in some respects, weaker in others. So take from it what you may.

As for those who think there is to much on the eyes, try the AGLua system that is out now. It's in the final stages of beta, but it's much faster and cleaner than the last system.

In the future, if you have issues with me Nienla, take it up with me in the game. Stop slandering and spreading lies because it's disrespectful and uncalled for.

Edit: Sorry Iasmos for posting this response in your thread, didn't notice it was here

No problem. For the record, I have never had any issue with Ethelon or his system. We sometimes help each other out, in fact. smile.gif

According to his site, 20db for the support contract, and various amounts for the addons. http://sites.google.com/site/iasmosis/treant/add-ons

dang it, 10 dingbats short, and unless I can get a job before the end of the month, I won't be having Elite anymore sad.gif

Edit: After checking the balance of my debit card, I can do one more month. smile.gif

I think he's mistaking your system for one like Amaru's, which did have a kill all tell built in.
Calixa2010-07-20 01:24:22
I think I broke something. As irony would have it, just before I am setting out to grind gold for credits so I might afford more things like a support contract.

The issue: defup isn't doing its thing anymore, and I also noticed automatically standing up is borked. Here's a debug log:

It has been working fine till I logged on just now. I've tried to reset it but no dice. I'll probably just go with a reinstall if it can't immediately be figured out, though that means me finding out how to export all the triggers and such I've added for myself and making sure those are safe.
Razenth2010-07-20 01:25:30
I'm surprised your Treant still works without the left arm right arm balance flags. Mine never did. Try adding those and see what happens.
Unknown2010-07-20 01:27:06
I'll just leave the system support and updating to you guys now, I think. I'm tired.

*hopes this is a joke*

Without you, Sir, I don't think I could play. (and have fun)
Unknown2010-07-20 01:33:31
It's not really a joke. I'll sell add-ons and help anyone with a current or future support contract. I just don't have the time or energy to update the system at this time.

I know there are at least a half dozen regular fighters out there who use Treant and they've more than likely added the new skills to the system for their own uses. I've offered a few credits to obtain those triggers (even though it'd be nice to just have them donated in exchange for the donations I've made myself). Not one person has offered to help out the system, and I'm too tired to do it myself, so there it sits, at least for now.

That fixed it. Now I think of it, I did read a log ingame which had a full prompt on it, that probably triggered something. Fingers crossed it will continue working.

And Zarquan, that reminds me I was going to send you that xml file, which I still haven't done since I forgot. If there is anything else I'd be happy to help, though that requires knowing what needs doing. You've answered a fair few of my questions here and there so it'd only be fair to do something in return, after all.
Sylphas2010-07-20 02:11:47
If you see the armbalance prompt at some point, it will automatically turn on armbalance tracking. You have to manually edit the variables to remove this, as far as I know.
