Guild of Writers

Hey, yes, you can contact me. I looked up your TOC game account and activated it for you, just now. I didn't find a forum account though.

Your prcdc wants to use jpeg-8 but finds jpeg-9. This *should* not be a problem, but it looks like it is and should be fixed. Where did you get your copy from? If it is using some libjpeg or jpeg DLL you can try to replace it with a DLL of version 8.

If all you want is to extract a texture image ...

The problem with infinity is that it is infinite. Unfortunately, I didn't get my hands on a PC with infinite RAM and HDD yet...

Let me add that in some cases DDS export is currently broken. I recently added a "Save As..." feature to the texture preview that enables export to common picture formats like PNG, JPG, TIFF and BMP. This makes it fairly easy if all you want is a specific texture and no fiddling with DDS plug-ins ...

when I write ö the whole game freezes, I just hit ö and cannot do anything anymore but force quit with Alt+F4

The game does not freeze. Ö is the developer console key on a german keyboard and apparently the client is reacting to that key in the external version too. :(
If you have that problem ...

You can save your current outfit by running /saveclothing <name> in your KI. It will be stored in <name>.clo in "%LOCALAPPDATA%/Uru - Gehn Shard/Avatars". Loading that outfit can be done using /loadclothing.
Copying that file to other servers that support these commands (TOC soon) is also possible.

I would join the Hangout as well but I fear I cannot make it in time. Maybe I can drop in later and throw in some comments about MOSS/TOC updating.

What about Hangout on Air? That should allow you to stream a hangout live to YouTube.

Glad you figured it out.
As a thumb rule: If your interface breaks and you cannot open the KI or see it at the bottom, it is likely to be a basic problem with your Python setup.

As a side-note to the other developers: I noticed the same problem, some time ago. There definitely is something broken ...

The Open Cave has basic support for the Wall in Gahreesen already.

But generally, I'd say for all of your points: Do it if you want to, patches are always welcome.
