Keirou — Sun, 22 Jan 2006 11:14:28 GMT

the new download already has sum errors in it posted in another thread.

Startup Error

BJMC — Tue, 08 Nov 2005 14:27:28 GMT

Hey guys. Kudos on the tool, I'm loving it to death.

But I noticed something when I tried installing both the beta and stable versions: When installed to the "C:/Program Files" directory, I come up this error for both versions:

If I extract the beta version to the desktop and run from there, then I have no problems at all. Weird.

Just thought I'd give you guys a heads up.

Version 2.2.0.6 - New map engine!

Zyo — Sun, 06 Nov 2005 11:30:55 GMT

The map drawing engine have been redone from scratch.

Map is splitted into 200*200 jpg images (744 blocks).
No more long loading at start.
Less memory taken.
Mark/arrow on the map no longer flicker when moving the map.
Allow multiple level or zoom. (Warning, at high zoom the performance will be terrible).
Include Thortok2000 Npc and Skill fix/add stuff. (Thanks btw)

However you will see some black squarre while you moving the map.

The next thing that will be added to map:

Is to display place name in multiple language as requested.
Add a mode that will load all blocks for high-end machine that don't want flicker. (will be available for machine with more than 512 mb of ram)

The version is only available for tester via the beta version.

version 2.2

P_o_g_S — Wed, 02 Nov 2005 09:30:25 GMT

According to the update notes, there is a version 2.2 availlable but I can't get it either with the updater, the 'download the tool' or 'download beta'. Is really availlable ?

2.2.0.0 Bug List/Corrections

Thortok2000 — Tue, 01 Nov 2005 14:33:16 GMT

- Serenity Temple is marked as Serenity Template.

Beta 2.1.10.27

Fredrik — Thu, 27 Oct 2005 12:24:10 GMT

The following is not translate able:
* The menu item 'Mode*
* Popups: Export Window, Reaport/Update Window, Search for update window, Options Window

Suggetion:
* Add a Hand as the pointer over the website image, so the user clearly can see it is a link.

* The menu item "About..." doesn't work (for future use?)

* The field "Translated by" in Translate utulity doesn't save/load properly.

Beta 2.1.10.9 - Attributes

Fredrik — Mon, 10 Oct 2005 09:43:07 GMT

The Mesmer attributes are only named Domination, Illusion and Inspiration, when the correct names should be Domination Magic, Illusion Magic and Inspiration Magic

Theese three are also wrong in the translator, but I think that it doesn't really matter in the translator. However, in the main application, I think they should be corrected.

Also, the monk attribute Divine Favor says "For each rank of Divine Favor, allies are healed for 3.2 whenever you cast Monk spells on them." When it should be "For each rank of Divine Favor, allies are healed for 3 whenever you cast Monk spells on them. "

Where can I download the 2.2 ?

P_o_g_S — Mon, 24 Oct 2005 02:40:19 GMT

Zyo,

I only get 2.1.5 as standard and 2.1.10.22 as beta...

Beta 2.2 Bug (V2.1.10.9)

DeQuincey — Mon, 10 Oct 2005 10:40:39 GMT

When you press the "Zoom" button on the map, it get stuck with the white outline as if it were active.

There needs to be more feedback when the zoom feature is active. I suggest changing the cursor to a magnifying glass to make it clear the the next click will zoom the map.

Also, the zoom feature may need to renamed to "Toggle Zoom." In it's current state, the functionality is confusing when first using the feature.

Beta 2.2 Suggestion (v2.1.10.9)

DeQuincey — Mon, 10 Oct 2005 10:10:45 GMT

Just tried out the new beta. I really like the changes to the locked skills. That makes it much easier to tell whether they are locked or not.

1) I wanted to suggest a faster way to unlock skills. Right clicking to unlock a many skills is annoying. Meanwhile, unlocking all at once with the button provided isn't right for all situations. (It would be fine if I only had a few locked skills left on my account. However, in my case, I've played three professions.)

I think double clicking on the skill should toggle the locked state of the skill. Alternatively, you could provide a check box. (But, I like the double clicking better.)

2) The "Skill Info" windows need to update as you change tabs. It should be blank when skill isn't selected or there those tabs that don't have any skills. It seems rather odd to see the skills info display data for a skill when you're on the "Character" or "Equipment" tab.

Maybe it should show more detailed info for whatever item is selected. For example, a picture for armor/weapons. There isn't much of a point to showin for info for runes.

New Beta 2.2 is up

Zyo — Sun, 09 Oct 2005 13:09:38 GMT

Version 2.2 is about Translation... check out the translation forum for detail information.

The file to download is always the same.

Version 2.1 Beta build 2.0.9.23 Equipment

mykol — Sat, 24 Sep 2005 15:22:31 GMT

when you select a primary character, the weapons list still shows every weapon, not just the weapons available to either your primary character class, or even better, weapons you can use based on your attributes (like when building a PvP).

warrior weapons are displaying a damage bonus of '0%' while enchanted/hexed/health/etc

weapon upgrades aren't available yet, i don't know if you have someone working on them or not, but i could happily type up a list of each upgrade and its min through max values if you need it. the current system requires you to input a new item, add the 1 or 2 mods (depending on the item), then do it again for every combination of mods you can have on it, that makes for a rather large weapons list

last but not least, just being picky, instead of a SHIELD button, it should say OFF HAND

keep up the good work zyo, program looks & works better then ever

GWFreaks version 2.1 is a major upgrade, we will run a first "open" beta before final release September 24th. You are free to download and use the beta version you can even post the link on your community board. If you found any bug use the bug report feature inside the tool.

Special Thanks to Grimpaw that works very close with me to get the template format that great.

DO NOT RUN THE UPDATER else you will go back to release version 2.0.10.

As suggested by our beta tester Glamtre, the date of the beta build will appear in the version number

This stand for the September 18th build so you can be sure of the version you are running.

We will also create a forum in the weeks to come to get everyone connected of what need to be done first in next GWFreaks' version.

Note that version 2.2 will support full translation of the application, not just the skill description.
