Version 1.10 Download [LATEST]

[Karl G.]

Here you go! I have (finally) released this update...hooray!

Almost everyone will need to download and install the new DirectX (second link).

The Latest Client
Download & Install DirectX (solves d3dx9_33.dll not found)

Bugs I already know about:
- something makes text disappear in main window
- toggle view mode doesn't work

• Fixed that stupid text bug where text would go all wacky sometimes
• New chat menu and chat log
• New controls for moving/attacking/blocking (you don't actually block attacks yet--sorry )
• You can "stop action" to get out of gas
• Bows work! No arrows though--they just shoot by the way, I need an arrow model!
• Animation speed is now a factor of your actual ability speed: if you attack slowly, the animation is slower. It looks better and was something that had been bothering me
• Your player motion is MUCH more fluid--(almost) no more jerking or popping while walking around
• Screen tearing in fullscreen mode has been fixed
• Repeatedly moving forward then snapping back when bumping into a monster/tree/mountain has been reduced
• You shouldn't be able to get stuck in monsters now--I found the bug causing this
• New character login screen and ability to delete characters
• Monsters with low HP will flee
• I adjusted the speed of movement and attacking for monsters and players.
• Lighting

Stuff that I definitely am going to include but haven't had the time to set up yet:

• Configurable keys for bringing up menus
• Trading
• Bazaar
• Geosids
• Portals
• Special item abilities

This application has failed to start because d3dx9_39.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem

[Karl G.]

Here's your fix. Everyone should download this and install it (then you can delete the zip).

Hm, that link does not work. I've downloaded the one fro your other topic but it doesn't fix the problem.

[ascent]

d3dx9_39.dll was not found still XD

[Broken Star]

that download doesnt help, maybe b/c its for d3dx9_38.dll and the error is d3dx9_39.dll

[Exempt]

Mine said 27 instead of 39 ><

Also got the error saying d3dx9_39.dll was missing.

Here's what worked for me:

Downloaded dx_evidyon.zip

Extracted Aug2008_d3dx9_39_x86.zip contents into Program Files/Evidyon/ (or wherever you installed evidyon)

Ran Launcher

[ascent]

[Karl G.]

OK both of you should try this:

Go to "Edit Configuration" in the Evidyon menu
Edit the line that says "ForceSoftwareRendering=0" and change it to "ForceSoftwareRendering=1"

[Broken Star]
