I will work on that, but won't start till at least end of january. So if anyone is faster, go for it:)

Unless someone worked on that in the meantime, on SF is the 0.971 Client (both win and linux).
And when looking at the dates the 0.971 download is there since January 2008
(except SF shows the upload of that package and not the release in the download section)

Yes, the graphics are done client sided, but AFAIK both are also server sided.
For DE the server must send additional tiles, and when i remenber correctly infra is not only coloring mobs red, i think you could also see some more mobs, even around a corner. If not, infra would be more or less pointless

Lets do some necroposting

All of you who create truecolor images with alpha have a look at the tool pngnq and the explanaitions on this site: http://pngnq.sourceforge.net/

Short summary:
The PNG format is able handle indexed RGBA images, means even images with a palette can have semitransparent pixels.
The client can handle these images as well, just tested it.
Means you can use pngnq to reduce the color deep to most of the time really good looking 256 colors. So when you create new images which need semitrans, have a test with pngnq (to create smaller files), and compare ingame, because most of the graphics programs cant handle that.

Just short, or i miss my bus home:

AFAIK the triangles are only for the client, they just contain heigh and (for 3d) texture information, for the server its still one tile.
For the 2D client i have something in mind to smoothen that up a little, but that mus wait, till i have finished my big project i have at home

jeffy...

i won't search all the threads you posted your problem, and already got answers, which mainly all were the same as grommit gives you.....

Thats not entirely true. Play around with the AI, learn the beahviors, and then try to trick it, it is possible to do ranged attacks
(Hint: The mob tries to stay out of a direct line from you, not out of the line of a 'missile'-object. So first shoot, then ask questions...ähmm i mean then move)

Its mainly complete europe, except britain. maybe other countries aren't so addicted to it, or it isn't shown so often.

Yep, and much more, each frame can have its own delay, all different directions, and 'states' (attacking, walking, ...) can be have totally different anims, frame counts, and so on...

very popular in europe, it is shown every new years eve across europe.

the above one is the 'swiss version' (means recoded in switzerland) and mainly showed in the nordic countries.

The next two links is the 'german' (and in my opinion more funny version)

Yeah a question i waited for, so here:

Working isn't the right word for that, better thinking about it for over a year, and never get started with that:)

Can someone with this problems please provide a log of the updater?

And please have also a try with downloading the dll (http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?msvcr80). Just put it in the folder where the daimonin.exe resides. Maybe its just that stupid MS Visual C manifest stuff.

Ok, the please go to your log folder (usually c:\Program Files\daimonin\client\logs) and paste the log here

That do we have all (or say 99,9% of us)

This post will destroy itself in some time.

But to not only talk nonsense. If you only want such small diagrams, and only a few, just use paint. (No joke)
