Any chance you would be willing to share the information on how you did this -> Huge skill lines reconfiguration, especially combat skills. Character creation skills adjusted accordingly.

Ive successfully managed to change parent of skills to spilt them apart, but how to rearrange them in the skill window is eluding me.

Guys, how do you feel about xbows challenge? One on one, no movement, one shoot. Win, loose or draw. If draw, repeat. Easy, right?


@King of Hell i hope to split you in half with my bolts 8-)

The Chrobry clan now have a warning, and Melvin Chrobry and Boleslaw Chrobr now have a 1-day ban for putting movable objects of an opponent in water. This is a form of griefing and cluttering the server with bugged objects, since only an admin can reverse it. Thanks for wasting my time with that.

I take no ban appeals for temporary bans. I am absolutely certain members of the Chrobry clan this, so even if I got the wrong individuals (which I'm 99% sure I do not), thank your clan mates for it.

If such griefing continues I will dig through the server logs to find out exactly who did it, and since that costs me even more time, it will result in permanent bans.

@Maegfaer,

Noticed movable items only have 24hr or less claim status (ex. chests=24hr, snares=2 or 3 hr), I assume by design? While not an issue, and I can understand the need/want for it like this, I was just surprised as I though the claims timer was universal for all items, so wanted to make sure it is working as intended.

v8.8
  • Paved roads can now be flattened and be build upon. This is desirable for gatehouses for example, now roads can actually continue through them.
  • Arrows and bolts don't float anymore, they are now affected by gravity and will fly in proper arcs.
  • Thorough combat rebalance! Armours, melee weapons, ranged weapons and arrows have all been re-adjusted, with both realism and gameplay in mind.
    • Damage is noticably higher overall, for more dangerous, more realistic and higher-stakes combat. This will make fleeing or combat logging harder, and makes armour more useful.
    • Weapons and armour types become considerably better further down the skill lines, making specialisation more rewarding. Being a hybrid of all was the way to go before, not so much anymore. You'll really want the equipment of those later or even last Skills in the lines, but you'll have to make choices!
    • Thrusting damage is now higher, especially for specialised thrusting weapons like Polearms. When thrusting it is a lot harder to get comparable speed bonuses to swinging, which made thrusting underpowered.
    • Blunt damage is now the main weakness of top tier armours.
    • The speed of projectiles has been lessened somewhat to reduce the chance of them going through characters without doing any damage. Arrow damage has been increased to compensate for the speed bonus loss.
    • Royal armour is now better than Veteran armour.

To be fair, dev teams with their product in (pre) Alpha stages have higher priorities than gameplay balance. They have to deal with the deeper, more technical bugs and implementation of many completely new features and game mechanics as well. They also need to communicate, coordinate and document their changes better than I do on my own. I'm in the rewarding position of fixing and changing the more visible layers of the game.

Could you go more in-depth with what u did to armor? like did u just make plate best vs all since its higher in the tree or did u keep them with being resistant to what they were but scaled it better because the resistance types were pretty realistic before.

Plate is best against slashing and piercing now, but not better against blunt than for example scale.

Keep in mind that plate armour slows you down and drains stamina significantly faster when sprinting, and that in Life is Balanced it costs you a lot of skill points to unlock the Plate skill, unlike in vanilla Life is Fuedal. So it's also a gameplay balance thing, if Plate wouldn't have considerably better overall stats, no one in his right mind would waste skill points on it.

As I figured, just making sure. Thanks for the heads-up! :)

Now to just get out of work and go try to level some combat skills o.O

i understand that but IMO they should make game playable 1st, fix all bugs, balance everything, THEN add new stuff, fix new bugs, balance everything, add new stuff etc. thats how it should be IMO, it might take more time overall to make everything but in the mean time while they make game complete game will be playable ALL the time, which means more and more people will buy game and older players will not leave the game, at current stage game is hardly even close to being playable and balance is not even somewhere close to being in game at all. to test the game u need to be able to play it and enjoy it, otherwise we are paying the money to do their work, to find bugs and report them, we are basically working for them and instead of getting paid we pay them.

With iterations like that, you'll break half the stuff of the previous iterations, again and again. Sadly that's just the way it works in software development. It costs a lot more time that way.

I dinstinctly remember a very clear disclaimer of "Only buy this game if you want to support it's development!", so you knew what you were getting into... I too desire gameplay improvement, but I think it's unreasonable to ask the developers to change their development road map and methodology just because we want to become even more addicted to a game that is still in Alpha stage.

To fix that problem of the updates being a pain couldn't you just make a launcher for LiF for your mod? That way when you update the server all people have to do is get the update from the launcher.

Edit : Never mind I didnt read all the comments before I posted this

fair enough, i knew what i was signing for, i'm happy i bought the game had almost 200h of fun already and will have more, its not my 1st game nor the last of this kind, i just suggest them to work more about trying to let people enjoy it cause not everyone is like me and i know a lot of people who quit just cause of those little tweaks and bugs which are easily fixable but horribly annoying.

I have cleaned this up and the next time I will hand out warnings. Everyone refer to the rules so you will not run into trouble in the future. http://lifeisfeudal.com/forum/forum-rules-t372/

I wonder if you can find a way of getting rid of carcasses adding some timestamp on DB (dunno if already have this) and creating a script on PHP or something that checks DB 1 turn per hour, let's say, and wipe out the ones who were there for more than, let's say, 48 hrs.

Just a suggestion.

Hmm, for me it's working. Have you already tried to right click the link and selecting "safe link as"?

It appears to me that someone should develop a mod loader and updater, starting with your mod as the template, for both server and client alike.

If anyone on this thread is familiar with development, this seems like a great way to start supporting the game.
