Game FAQ/Tips and Tricks

Here are some questions you might asked yourself over time. Also some nice Tips and Tricks are listed here, which you may find informative.

How do I thaw icecubes? Or: How do I ignite a torch?

There are a few options: The right-click context menu in the Inventory reveals ignite/thaw, which will ignite something or thaw icecubes. You will need a flint & steel "light/flint_and_steel.base.111.png" in $ARCH for this to work!

An alternative would be to use the mark and apply commands like this:

mark icecube
apply flint and steel

If you need to something do this often, I recommend using the Bind Recorder.

The client is very sluggish and slow, what can I do about this?

Most likely, you don't have accelerated OpenGL support. Try to find a newer driver, or a driver from your hardware vendor, that features OpenGL support.

If this is not an option, the following Setup options reduce the load and will likely make the client playable with software rendering (it will still be slow, though):

• Video Mode should be set as low as possible (e.g. 640x480)

• Enable Fast & Ugly mode

• Disable Fog of War

• Increase Map Scale
