what about the october grab bag? Just in case you ran out of stalling topics:

Will hib still be op?
Will aust still be faggot?
Will aust + sos still be faggot²?
Is it true that after ~9 years you finally gonna fix >50 skill green/grey crafting bug?
If so, who revealed that evil secret to you?
Are buffbots allowed if I pay a chinese guy 50 cents per hour to actively be on the machine while I anytimerox greys in uppland?

So infact Trishin and Abydos are nothing more than advanced forum moderators who dont have a clue whats going on with the server... we got proof now that even the installment of cliffbeetles is developers business.

More of this please. Goes along way to restoring a very hopeless communities hope in the Uth 2.0 dream.

Since all eyes are on this thread I thought I would ask some constructive questions. (*Troll detection enabled*)

Is anyone planning to run Uthgard with a Linux machine?
If so, which version of wine do you have the best luck with?

Does anyone plan to use any special hardware to run Uthgard? It is an old game so I am tempted to just leave my older system alone, but surely something could improve things. Maybe as simple as a special mouse or keyboard?

could you guys just ask pyth to join the team already? this ****** would be done in two weeks

For next grab bag: Will you ever go too far as say for it be done to of it? I think we deserve some answer at this point.

Yes, I was and I am still running Daoc on Linux via Wine.
You will not be able to run it on stable wine binaries from your distro's repo tho. They will trigger a graphical bug when trying to create vertex shaders, so you will crash after the character selection screen. To avoid this you have to apply a patch/hack on the sourcecode before compiling it on your own, or if you use a wine version manager like playonlinux (which i highly recommend), select a custom precompiled version from a database. Look for the information "vertex-shader" or "vertex-blending" in the name, the most recent one currently being "1.7.4-vertex-blending".

Don't forget that you will need Portal in order to connect to Uthgard. For this you have to install mono210 and gdiplus (within playonlinux, or if you don't use it via winetricks). Then create a shortcut within PoL to mono.exe and add launching parameters to run the connect.exe from the Portal client, then more parameters to connect to the server with your login information. I will provide a step by step guide on the Uthgard forums once the server is (about to be) online again.

You are allowed to use any mouse or keyboard as long as you dont issue multiple commands with pressing only one key. As this is usually only software-sided, the hardware itself in this case is free to use for ergonomic reasons (like a 12 button mouse for using things on your qbar, or qbinding buttons to a custom onehand keyboard). As for myself, I used the additional buttons on the Logitech G600 mouse for several assistbuttons, guard, endu/healpots, item charges and shortbow draw. My left side of my keyboard had melee styles and class abilities qbinded.
