Re: Game window odd behaviour if resized (in Linux) The default window sizing works for me. In my window manager, that means it takes up the full screen, except for my panel, so it's not in full screen mode, though I think full screen mode is worth a try, it might fix it for you.

It's if I try to watch a video at the same time so i try to have a youtube video floating over the corner that I start having trouble. But if I don't touch the sizing at all from the time i open the program then it works okay for me.


There's a file in you're ~/.config/urw3-Linux/ directory called winpos.dat which stores the window position from last time; you could try deleting it instead of reinstalling, maybe it's getting corrupted.

The file isn't human readable but here's what mine says in case that helps the devs with debugging
Code: [Select]
$ hexdump winpos.dat

Re: How to get early game food supply since fishing nerf Fishing:

I've been keeping a spread sheet, and I've had luck using berries, leaves, roots, and mushrooms, in addition to the more obvious baits of meat and fish.

meat and fish make the best baits, then leaves and roots are about half as good as those, berries are a big worse than leaves and roots but still all right, and mushrooms are a lot better than nothing, but not as good as berries.

Even with nothing you will sometimes get a roach or a perch and then you should use that as a bait for another fishing round


Trapping: I like to put all kinds of traps in the same general area, with a fence, and bait them with berries, roots, and eventually meat too (spoiled raw meat works fine, cooked or dried or smoked meat doesnt work so well). Each day I reset the traps to train up my skill and eventually it pays off.


Active hunting: this gets less annoying once you have a dog to tire the prey out, before that you want to be good with a bow and arrows or very patient or stick to pine mires.

If it's the time of the year when the ice is thin, wander around along the edge of lakes looking for animals that got overconfident and fell through the ice

Re: How to get early game food supply since fishing nerf
So does spoiled meat/fish work as a bait, or does it have to be fresh?
Uncooked / non-cured spoiled meat, fish, and fat all work as bait. Spoiled roasted/boiled/cured meat, fish or fat won’t work as bait.

i haven't branched away from uncooked meat and fish in my spreadsheet yet but I plan to. However this information from news.txt makes me think the cooked/cured meat should work as bait:

- fixed: dried cuts as fishing baits got used up in one single fishing attempt

         Now a single dried cut lasts for a couple of fishing attempts.

Though I don't know how much the fish will like it compared to other baits.

I also want to test out bread.

Re: Advanced game course - Archery This is a good suggestion.

In the meantime, increasing your crossbow skill also works for this task, and you might have a lower skill in it

Re: Angry villagers I'd visit them once a month to see if they're still mad. They'll calm down after a while, especially since you didn't actually steal anything.

This has happened to me before, too. It taught me to take a nap before picking up anything in villages. :)

Re: Active Fishing attempt results in, "You should find a better spot! ..." message Good spots for fishing say "Lake" or "River" or "Rapids" or "Sea" in the top middle, above the map, the places where the land from the other tile extends out into a water tile.

Re: How to get early game food supply since fishing nerf Preliminary results, average amount of fish gained per fishing attempt with high skill (90)  and a fishing rod with iron hook

No bait: 30 grams, 100 trials
berries: 430 grams, 56 trials
mushroom: 480 grams, 100 trials
leaves: 520 grams, 28 trials
roots: 670 grams, 47 trials
flowers: 620 grams, 100 trials
raw fish: 1.48 kg, 100 trials
raw meat: 1.98 kg, 100 trials

i haven't tested roasted/dried/smoked fish/meat or bread in a systematic way yet but anecdotally cooked fish/meat seems to work well too.

Re: How to get early game food supply since fishing nerf I edited my post! My goal is to have 100 trials with each type of food, but it's winter and my character ran out of berries, leaves, and roots. I'll gather more this summer and get flour for bread and and test out grains (barley, rye) and seeds too.

Re: Issues running Unreal World on Ubuntu In a terminal, you can list the dynamic dependencies of urw like this:

Code: [Select]
ldd /usr/bin/urw3-bin

On some systems, urw might be installed in /opt instead. In that case, do
Code: [Select]
ldd /opt/urw3/urw3-bin

It sounds like one of these is missing on your system. If you post the output of ldd, we can probably figure it out which one

Re: Find map location from message log? (008000):b2hf:[=]{0232031F}      | Your character has been saved.

Half of this number is how far south you are from the top of the map, and theother half of the number is how east you are, from the left edge of the map.

I cannot remember which is which, so what i do is i look at the last line of msglog.txt to find out where i am, and then i go a step south (on the world map) and drink a sip of water so that there will be a new msg and see which number changed.

From there it is a matter of counting. Half of my number is 0232 and the other half is 031F, and maybe i left my things at 02400400, so i will need to go southeast -- either mostly south and a tiny bit east, or mostly east and a tiny bit south. the counting is in hexadecimal so 232, 233, 234, 235, 236, 237, 238, 239, 23A, 23B, 23C, 23D, 23E, 23F, 240 = 14 steps in that direction and 225 steps in the other direction.

Just keep taking sips of water or eating food now and then to check your progress and adjust your course.
