I was just wondering, are we suppose to have our pelts and masks and stuff totally wiped off our deer in this? Cause I have a deer who was wearing the skull mask and the doe antlers and after I let a friend sign on as her deer I signed back on as mine and found all of her things were gone! I don't know if I can get them back but if there is someway I would like to know..

Well, when you walk into the circle, you pelts and all are temporarily lost, but going out of the circle (and possibly sneezing off a brown default pelt) will return all the stuff you had. Though, I'm not sure about if you fell asleep in the circle...I'll have to take a look into that myself.

EDIT: Owait, rereading your post, I assumed you logged off. Logging off causes all your pelts and things to disappear, and unless you backed up your spelldata, you can't get it back, I'm afraid. You'll have to get people to spellspam your stuff back.

Oh ok ^^; that is most likely what happened T_T ah well, thank you very much!

Hum.

I've installed this four times, and every time it worked fine except for one thing: I absolutely wont connect! D8 I've even waited half an hour for one of the times but it just won't connect at all :C I'm just a pictoless, nekkid, desolated deer Dx
I've made sure to delete all the TEF folders before reinstalling, but that didn't seem to make any difference.
I have Vista, but it never had any issues with 3.21 :c

Does anyone have any solutions to this? ;A;

I had something happen just yet that may be a bug.

I closed my laptop after my deer fell asleep (presumably putting the game on pause?). When I opened my laptop back up (thus un-pausing the game?) the game disconnected momentarily and reconnected again. Everything was normal at this point. However, as soon as I woke my deer up, all of the pictos disappeared. I could still see the deer, and I was still connected -- but all of the picto auras above the deers' heads were blank. On the sides of the screen where I can usually see the pictos of non-visible deer, I saw absolutely nothing -- not even nameless dots.

Upon restarting the game, everything returned to normal. c:

Hello there and good afternoon! I got a little bit of a glitch I never encountered before in 3.2, and I was wondering if anyone else ever has this problem?
Sometimes, quite randomly, all my pictograms dissapear. Only my own stays. I see black blocks where usually pictograms are, and above other deer their head, only the glow is visible, but no pictogram. It looks like this: http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q83/YamiMisako/Glitch1.png (Linked for big screenshotness)
I can solve it by reconnecting, but it's a bit strange and I wonder why it happens anyway. First, I had it happening after I had been playing for quite a while. Now it happend a few seconds after connecting.

But I'd like to say I'm really exited to see the new stuff, and you guys have done an awesome job! My pictogram-dissapearing really isn't a big issue, but I thought I should report it anyway!

*EDIT*
I just got ninja'd by Lemon. XD

We'll disable the PNG option for screenshots since it doesn't work.

I'm sorry to be a pain, but just because it "doesn't work" shouldn't be a reason to disable it; surely it should be seen as a glitch that should be fixed? In my eyes it's a very important option to be fixed considering how much screen-shots are used on the community site.

BMP files are not compressible, ie, they take up way more space than necessary. PNGs are specifically WEB compressible, and take up the most minuscule amount of space compared to BMPs, yet maintain the exact same quality. If anything, it would be worth everyone's while to make PNG the default setting. It would save a lot of people a lot of space =) I went for months without knowing there was an option to change the type of file my shots could be saved as, and when I switched from BMP (default) to PNG I found I could afford to save at least 4 times as many images as I had before.
As for the JPG option, the image quality is incredibly poor and unsuitable for editing, which is the only reason why I screen-cap in the first place.

So... to conclude: please, please, please don't get rid of the PNG option and try and fix it? <3

I don't know if this is related but when I started up the beta I heard some strange noise. I heard a beep and then the dance tune played for a few seconds and then it loaded normally.

It also crashed when I tried to switch to windowed mode, but I'm going to try it again later.

Same for me, but it only crashed once, after restarting everything worked fine (exept that the beep was still there). ^^

Urg.

I haved downloaded it atleast 6 times, so I finally unistalled everything about TEF, and tried to install the new version. Nothing. The only difference is that the pond changes colors when I walk into it, but I still dont see the new icon. Sad

Ive never had trouble like this before >>

I'm not sure if this was reported, but I found a small bug that's more of an inconvenience than anything.
I like to play in windowed mode at 800x600 pixels. 3.3 started up at fullscreen mode as I expected to since I was starting it up for the first time, so I changed it to be in 800x600 window mode. After restarting, it was in 800x600 windowed mode, no problem. But if I restart after that, it goes to half that size. The only way to stay in 800x600 windowed mode is to start up the separate Settings program and set it to 800x600 each time. (It shows the resolution is something like 800x480 with the word widescreen before I change it.)
It's not a big deal, but it happens every time, and this never happened in 3.2. (In 3.2, the resolution would randomly change to a larger setting, but very rarely.)

I have noticed glitchyness here and there, but I haven't been able to understand them all due to lots of lag and slowdown. I've also had some issue with maintaining a connection, but nothing to major.

I have had that glitch before with 3.2. It happens when I'm playing in fullscreen mode and something pops up on my computer (like an update notification, usually), which causes my game to kind of spaz out for a bit, and when it stops all the pictograms disappear. Except I might still be able to see a few, and sometimes the others will come back after a while. But just disconnecting and then reconnecting always seems to fix it. You don't even have to quit the game.

I'm not sure if this was said either, so if I'm repeating something, I apologize.

If a pelt spell is cast on my deer when they're inside the mushroom circle with the fountain, when my deer exits the fountain area, they have a default pelt. Not even sneezing via the transformation button brings it back like it should. I still have the option to sneeze off pelts though. It's just it becomes a list of all default pelts. O.o

This is an awesome update, how do you become a crow outside of the circle though? x3

I use jpeg, though, to save on disc space. |D
But png has its useful moments when I'll switch to it. I like having the option, for when I wanna take higher quality images. (Usually for screenshots I wanna edit.)
