I’m trying to get a new version of Ember out, hopefully this week. In the meantime I want to show some screenshots of the new male mesh that Jayr has been working on. By using the model definition system in Ember, it’s possible to define different “parts” of the model, such as “/torso/cloth/green” or “/torso/cloth/red”. [...]
I’ve just uploaded an updated Mac binary of Sear 0.6.2 to SourceForge. This should hopefully resolve some of the crashes people have experienced. In particular, re-sizing the window, and changing into / from fullscreen mode now works correctly. This release will work on computers running OS-X versions 10.3.9 and 10.4.x, including Intel-based Macs, but is [...]
Sear 0.6.2 has been released. This version has task support allowing basic building tasks to be performed.
Eris version 1.3.11 has been released and is now available from the WorldForge download site.
Eris is the WorldForge client-side session layer, used by many existing clients.

This release adds a lot of new features and [...]
There has been a lot of activity on the Sear front since the last release. Most importantly, long standing rotation bugs have been fixed which now allows access to the buildings in the village and allows correct rendering of items such as a lit torch.
Sear 0.6.1 is released. This release sees many improvements to the GUI components. The character creation dialog now has a list of playable character types. This fixes one of major issues with the previous release
A problem slowing the creation of maps is that there are no easy to use tools for doing it. There is a building editor in Ember, and although it is quite flexible, it is not yet very intuitive to use, and operates on a quite detailed level.
So here’s a suggestion for a very simple [...]
Looking at the logs on some of the WorldForge game servers made available for public use, I have noticed many errors from users trying to create characters of types which do not exist. Examples include human, knight, dwarf and elf. Clearly given the number of errors we have made a serious mistake in the user [...]
