meh...every time I log in, as soon as I open my spellbook, or sit to med, my character falls unconcious, I get a * you are bleeding to death * message and I have to go thru my task manager to log out...pretty annoying...this is on a clean install of Underfoot, it works fine on PEQ, dunno what's up, but your server is unplayable for me because of it. /shrug

the server most likely uses a custom spell file which you are missing

The server does *not* use any custom spell files, I'm not sure what your issue could be..
Strange for sure..

Gitter- lvl 1 halfling ranger - Karana
...as soon as I sit for any reason...try to camp, or mem my single lvl 1 spell, it doesn't matter...I fall unconcious, and get the " You are bleeding to death " message which makes it impossible to log out normally...this is why he's still lvl 1, and still in the GH...
I think I have a copy of SoD around here somewhere...I'll do a clean install in a separate folder with it and see if that makes a difference...I figured UF was allowed on most of the servers...Titanium is WAY too limited in features, imo, and shouldn't even still be an issue these days.../shrug...

Thanks for the hard work Davood. Very nice server, epspecially if you can fix the "loot lag" problem which is my number 1 complaint. Ive been logging in when I can but have not caught you online, and I wondered about playing the monster races which intrigues me.
Will monster races always just be cosmetic skins, or will there be abilities/restrictions etc? Will there be a racial charm for each monster just like the other races? At the moment my halfling ranger becoming dragon still has her halfling/bristlebain charm equipped with all those bonuses.
Could the charm become the base of more monster like bonuses/penalties? The dragon charm might give great melee boosting stats, hps, ac etc, and have a clicky dragon breath for example. To balance this out the charm could block certain slots from equipping anything--for example weapons. I know blocking out all item equipping would make it too boring to play a monster in a loot centric game, but blocking out some and balancing off the power of the charm may be a good way to make monsters different from normal players.
So a dragon might have very powerful charm-granted abilities, but half its equip slots or something might be blocked. A goblin, on the other hand, might have minor charm granted abilities, but can equip every slot etc.
Those were some of my ideas. I was curious what you were planning for it, or if it was just going to stop at cosmetic change--which would not be very attractive in my opinion, since with the monster skin you never see anything you equip unlike the basic races. So hopefully the monsters can be a different play experience than normal characters.
Some more classic monster ideas:
Mind flayers--charm grants a buff that gives them a chance for massive crit if meleeing a stunned enemy. Melee attacks have a chance to proc an aoe stun like color slant or something. Charm gives them negative hps and stamina, but gives immunity to mind effects and major magic and elemental resistance bonuses. That is how I remember illithids from dungeons and dragons.
Beholder--Charm ability summons a "throwing" weapon whose graphic looks like a light ray or bolt or something. These "throws" have a chance to proc a wide variety of damaging effects--dd, dots, stuns, mez, charm, pushback, fear, debuffs, even instant death. Powerful, but a wild monster to play as the random factor could get you into deadly trouble in certain places.
Just a few random ideas of how you might flesh out the variety of characters you can play on your server. Its already great and getting better day by day!

I am researching what functions and.methods already exist.. for now size differences and.flying and movement speed will be used as base dofferentiaton.. as some monsters will have one or more of those efects
also i want to addbsuch things as swarm procs from fungoids and poison procs from bixies etc
ultimately ill try and.implement nrw things serverside... which ill share of course

Looking forward to trying some of these out. Always have wanted an expansion on the kinds of characters one can play, and alakamin will be the best for that.
Making and balancing 17 monster character races seems daunting. Wish I could help in some way since I'm an enthusiast for it, but all I know of coding is mucking around with modding my old baldur's gates game.

that is odd, two people ARE connected and online... what is wrong i wonder.. i am using the same files, same everything.. only thing that has changed is the external ip address of the server and the hardware running it.
I could try running it off the other network and use the old ip address..????? that doesn't make any sense though
the error im getting in the world log is
unable to resolve stream before connect.
never seen that one before.
