Two more patches:

Cope with clients that politely close their connections (such as PlasmaClient) rather than resetting them (like UruExplorer). This is the least invasive way of solving the problem given the current code, however it is a pretty hacky solution and that code would probably better be reorganized somehow.

Support creation and authentication of e-mail-style user accounts (with challenge/response authentication) in addition to plain ones (with one-way password hash) (PlasmaClient/libHSPlasma only supported the former prior to 2010-10-27). Tested for both cases with both PlasmaClient and UruExplorer.

Cool, thanks! I'll put that in soon. And since you're interested in Talcum, I'll go ahead and take a look at those KI and SDL things soon too.

But for tonight, I've got trick-or-treaters to make sing^^

I miss that. In my previous appartment, I had dozens of kids ringing the bell. I'd put my Frankenstein mask on and open the door. I'd stop only when the high-pitched screaming finally broke a window.

Now I live in a condo block with no access for kids. And no kids either.

:lol:

I dunno about Halloween in Britain. We already have Bonfire Night on the 5th, so I always thought a spooky harvest festival was a bit... superfluous?

In any case, after I've polished off this essay I'm writing, I'm going to have a crack at bumping up the quality of all the current clothing in the game. It is a shame that PrpShop doesn't mesh properly with MOULa, though. Is there any chance of this being fixed?

Could you describe the issue in detail (including the steps to reproduce it) in a new thread in the libHSPlasma section of the GoW? It is much more likely to be noticed there than in another (more or less) unrelated thread.

Alternatively, directly ad it to http://code.google.com/p/libhsplasma/issues/list

Great! There is no urgency, for the moment my itch is scratched.

Talcum currently holds my interest as the only MOUL server that runs on my computer – that may or may not stay the case in the future. :)

By the way, I just found out the hard way that it is much too easy to clear the database using the web interface – instinctively hit the return key in the password field, Safari interprets that as a push of the first submit button in the form, and :shock: bang! Fortunately there wasn’t anything important in that vault…

If only there was some kind of powder you could use to stop the itching...

Talcum powder appears to do the job. Dirt or sand might work too.

I might suggest that you contact George Weasley (Though Fred's Spirit might be easier to find) and ask one of them for some modified Floo Powder...
