There was some changes in the updater which means the 0.6.1 no longer works. I had to change the way files were encoded to handle special characters.

The updater is mostly used for updating the media, although you can manually run it to update sear itself if you downloaded it from WFUT in the first place. If you got sear from the setup, then you need to download the newer setup.exe.

Simon:

I think I used the setup.exe. Version .6.1. So I guess I would also have to get .6.2. but can’t the updater just update versions like most MOGS?

Thanks

the old version of sear suddenly started working for me - error misteriously disapered - I am now downloading the new version and I hope that that works to. Thank you.

Where did you get Sear from? Was this from the setup .exe or did you download it using WFUT?
I would be expecting to see these download errors from sear 0.6.1, not sear 0.6.2.
You cannot jump or climb things as the server does not support the phyics required to do this. This sort of stuff should be implemented in the Indri server. Cyphesis, the current server only has a simple physics model at the moment.
What do you expect to see with a right-click menu? Right click is currently used for moving the avatar.

The lighting looks great though and animations and what’s there is good.

Well the game isnt too bad although not really great with feedback. Plus would be nice to have more mouse interaction like right click menu. Can the player jump . I like to jump on and over things plus climb ladders. Is this a new thing with 3d games?

Oh I meant Ember. I had to copy this manually since the DOS output window didnt let me copy. This is repeated with different files and takes about 5 minutes before it starts Sear.

What is the error message? What do you mean by “with mason”?

It seems wrtiable in my WinXP directory but does report an error before every media update line in console. With Mason it takes like 5 seconds to update with only a few lines in console.

Sear runs the media updater, but it shouldn’t be downloading the same stuff over and over again. Are you running Sear from a writeable location? The media updates are stored in the same dir as Sear.
