    Well the servers are down for another 10min according to the SOE team....I have learned from past experience that when an update is usually longer then a few hours SEQ gets junked. Of course, I can't test this theory for about another 6hrs. I hate my job.

    Angry ShowEQ Broken

    ShowEQ is broken as of the 26/08/03 patch. It doesn't recognise what zone you are in and the player entity is way off to the side making it zoom out by a huge amount.

    There are "unknown" spawns appearing on the map and they are moving, they don't appear to bare any relation to anything in particular, doesn't look like a standard NPC configuration.

    Serberus

    had to crop the image to 800 pixels high for the message board.

    same resulsts

    as above, except that it is also jumping around very crazily. Kind of amusing somewhat.

    Also, not suprisingly, getting a lot of warnings playerposcode is the wrong length, 0x013a, 0x0125.

    Im certainly no expert but looks alot worse than a simple opcode fix

    Haven't tried yet, but it is probably just a bunch of structure organization changes. Shift things over a byte or four and SEQ looks real wacky.

    Enjoy,

    Nah, Zaphod was just saying a small change can make SEQ look very messed up. And LordCrush's excitement was due to the fact that we haven't seen Zaphod post in quite some time. Mr. Beeblebrox is a notable figure in the history of SEQ

    "What you've just said is one of the most insanely, idiotic things i've ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherant response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you NO points, and may god have mercy on your soul."

    hehe

    After reading your post over again I realised it was simply a "WOOT" to say hello.. and not a WOOT thanks for fixing it. hehe

    like I said I am still confused and now I have confused you all. I will go now..
