<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I just reinstalled using the new 1.1.0
package. I had only one problem - the first time I started crossfire it
failed saying it couldn't find the faces file (Joris Bontje replied to this
- and I pulled a faces file from the CVS). This is an improvement over
last version since I could not get crossfire to install in my
/usr/local using the -prefix setting in 1.0.0 (it did but, kept looking for
stuff in the /usr/games default.), but this time it worked, so i'm
happy.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I like the new interaction commands - one of my
friends jumped out of their mail when I licked them. I think
this is important fluff that really enhances the game. I did notice that
some of the skills function differently (was told pray was not working - now you
need to fire it off with a direction (?). Also I had to rebind some of the
commands in the DX client (use_skill woodsman, literacy..) did the syntax
change? - One thing; so far all my players use the DXclient and have
reported that it takes longer to load up the images now - I told them to clear
out their image cache - but this did not solve the problem- it almost seems like
the client will retrieve the images every time you connect. Is this
because of the new multiple image set support?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I also have a suggestion for a new thing- how about
a message board object that could be placed in towns and allow people to put up
messages or maybe even an apartment mailbox type of thing (message delivery
not free of course - even put in a post kiosk with a jaded employee)? This
comes since I noticed that marking rune (all spells actually) don't work
the streets of scorn anymore.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks to the people working on this game,
Crossfire is great. </FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
