FOR pk2 MASTERS: Let's talk about wind efect

Crni_Vatreni · Post by **Crni_Vatreni** » Tue Feb 27, 2007 8:50 pm

Since I too stepped in deep waters of pk2 editing, everything is so cool and fun. I am more than sattisfied, but one thing really annoys me:

When I change an option, I lose wind effect.

Does anyone of u, pk2 editers, know how to make permanent wind effect? I really like it and cant imagine SRO without it. Please post!

Can't be fixed in the pk2.
The problem with wind is in the exe.
Just backup the fixed cfg file then restore it if u changed anything.

the problem is in the configuration file just make that one file write-protected and you'll be good.

lol... its been gone so long.. that nobody even remembers it XD

okay, this is an easy fix. All you need to do is when you start up the game (i mean the screen that pops up with the "START" thing) go to video options and change the the video setting to "No change". As long as you don't mess with any other graphic settings in game, the wind effect will be on again.

it works if you set it to high as well, dunno about the other settings though.

Well. Look at the ribbons on the end of male trader flags, or on the 8th degree spear/glaive, or the gold dragon flags. You see how they are stiff like cardboard? Well, there was a time when they flowed with the wind.

I miss the wind effect, specially on the blindfolded guy. Before that "update" the band moved with every move the pj do. Those were times.
Joymax took off the wind effect on everything to improve the game and low the lag.
GM´s if someone of u r reading this: We miss the wind effect, the capes looks ugly without it. Bring the wind effect back.

That is a temporary fix. You have to set SROptionSet to Read Only.

Here's a pic of it fixed.
