Question for all (downgrade related)

I've been working on the downgrade and as i fix more things i notice its growing in size quite a bit. If i include the latest map fix for a few missing obelisks its gonna be nearly 200mb.

I already got a message from 1 person that had issues downloading it because his connection wasn't stable enough to get the whole thing. So my question is:

Should I keep everything as one big package with all fixes along with the downgrade? Or should I split it up into several smaller files

 

why not do both?

 

well 1 of the reasons is a possible pvp exploit. id rather upload everything as a single file so people dont dig through it its coz 3.0 adds house towns to regular maps (a path to a new area) while old clients just see a mountain in the way. in those locations the 3.0 people can attack anybody long range while 2.7 people cant hit back

also applying several small fixes can be a little annoying. but yea im just wondering how many people would have an issue with direct downloading 200mb

 

I'm find with the whole file in 1

for those who can't though, i dunno.. can't there be a special for them

BTW i noticed some things aren't workin properly on my aion. like skills unusable/don't proc properly, can't change graphics opts, etc..

so i don't mind a 1 bigtime fix :lol:

 

skills unusable can be more things. if they never work, there already is a fix for that in the downgrade thread, separate for download. if its random, its a server side bug (i know of at least 2 for sorc like that, the first doesnt let u cast anything until u walk a bit, the 2nd triggers a server side cd be4 the skill comes out, making it look ready but u cant use it for the duration of its cooldown)

im constantly adding fixes for minor things that r reported, currently uploading a big package with missing obelisk fix for beluslan, heiron and gelk

for graphics option not being changable
1. make sure u dont have the "fixed fps" box checked as it doesnt let u change anything
2. u can edit your registry through start -> run -> regedit -> HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Aion and delete the whole aion entry, it will get recreated on first run with autodetect settings

also know that 3.0 by default runs the game on the high quality graphics engine so u can change that back yourself later

 

ok thanks as for the graphics i'll check it out.

and for the skill bug, maybe i'll use another 1 in your guide.

BTW to be specific the skills i'm referring to are "BLINDING BURST" mine is not working i see other sins are able to use it so i thought it might be just me who have problem with it. and "AMBUSH" sometimes when i use it, i don't leave or blink out from my current location to the enemy but the target gets the stun effect. so IDK what's wrong.

 

Though I haven't upgraded to 3.0 and has no reasons to be downgrading, may I suggest putting it up for a direct download or as a torrent at the very least but one big fix should do it to avoid the pvp exploits you were talking about. I personally think a person that could play Aion has a decent enough internet connection that could bear with that 200mb. Just an opinion though :3

 

well get the skills.pak from the downgrade guide then try again. as for ambush, id bet it has something to do with the height difference of your target. blind leap also doesnt work uphill, u barely move if theres a steep slope behind u. for blinding burst, try make sure u have a target selected (MR set people can resist it i bet)

direct download is better nobody would seed the torrent lol

 

Oh that.I still believe it's better to be put up as one big fix though. xDD

 

Not too sure about ambush not letting me blink, even when they're not on higher ground it don't let me blink. most of the times it happens when i'm chasing or attacked by another opponent. an as for the blinding burst it just wont work, not even on mobs. i press the keys or click it, it wont activate i also tried clicking it on the skill list won't work either. even when i have a target that won't resist it for sure. i tested it on most mobs lower than lvl55. won't work. but maybe the skill pak will fix it.

 

it should, a cleric reported benevolence I doing nothing (it just popped back out without being used) and the skill.pak fixed it too

 

QQ sry for bothering you too much, but dont worry I won't bother you anymore^-^

My Ambush doesn't blink me sometimes either, but its always been like that. I tested blinding burst works fine for me, and I downgraded so try the skill.pak.

 

lol you are the reason i get to make things better xD reporting bugs and helping to test fixes

keep it up

 

I have 4 back ups.

 

make it torrent, make a big file, make split files

/everyone happy ;p
