Gimp you can google for, the plugin can be found [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]. It isn't the most fancy of editors compared to PS , but just simplistic and I'm no image editor either so I don't need fancy ;)

hey could you check your emails i messaged you about the derp mod still waiting on a reply its been like 5 days now

Ah I see.. Well I got it working after being frustrated for hours in Photoshop. I literally tried every setting there was and I eventually got the right one. Thank you for your time anyways Plox :)

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] is how it looks now, I quite like it.

Just another question for you Plox; Do you know how to play the sound files etc? I have extracted all the AA files but I can't seem to play the sound files in any way. I have even tried googling but I have had no luck so far.

@Duck, a little bit less red, a little more orange and a little more yellow.

No problem, I'm not much of a graphic/image editor, the HUD itself is simple because it doesn't have needed format/compression really - the other files on some things do, however & I'm not sure how they would work functionality wise in PS since I just use Gimp for it.

Was something I had before that I took out aswell, that would convert anything you wanted to proper format/image as the original image that I did on the fly automatively, if you wanted it - think I have it somewhere still laying around.. ( It would be like for backrounds, loading screens, ect )

As for your question about the sound, what was linked is what I had used prior to unpack the sounds, works quite well - but I don't bother changing anything with them other then NUL'ing out the sound files for songcraft. I have, however, figured out how to use the wiki part of the client to instead load spotify and/or pandora and play ingame , though.. Not sure if anyone would be curious about that but its alot of redirecting in dll's and some lua, I got bored working ingame an have so much shit loaded usually so I needed something to more organize some tunes ;)

I will double check my email, I could of swore I responded to everything...


I'm still letting people test some of my edits on the fog & some attempted fixes on the AH for the putup problem, I know people are a bit inpatient but with holidays/new years and since everyone else is really busy and I'm having to hand-test alot, it isn't exactly going at extreme speed as I would want.. Derp will get a small pattern & UI update with the offline mode soon, I'm trying to cleanup some problems on another program first so I can put that out.


Also looking through alot of the 2.5 update from the KR version and what I need to get ready/do for derp & the mod to successfully go past that big of an update - if anyone is good at reversing an wants to learn a few things I can give a few hand-outs to look into for people if they're willing to keep it a mutal exploration, msg me if you are but please note I will only spoon feed so much cause it is hard to explain some things in ASM if you don't know how to work around a debugger quickly.

Anyone managed to kill ANY Serpentis boss after latest patches? Or Dahuta? I'm able to kill one of two bosses in the first room by swimming above them, but once first boss dies, the second one just resets at some point every time...

Do you use an alt to dps and occasionally stealth to keep aggro down?

And you do know that the serpentis as a whole you can go between every room in there just by clip/swimming through them. All the portal does is determine randomly which room you spawn in for that instance, but all the rooms are there ( unless this was changed in a past patch ).

As for dahuta, I had no problem solo`ing this w/o hacks as an archer ( vit/archery/auramancy ) so I don't have any suggestions for this since I never bothered to cheat doing dahuta.

Does the login server for derp go down according to a schedule? Always having connection errors around certain times each day.

Ploxa how to do single dahuta follower? thanks

underterrain?

Well, tried Serp solo, got 2 hit xD

No, should I just place the alt inside the room on the floor and attack from time to time? That would do only for the rooms that don't have AOE mobs/bosses though.

Yeah, I know, tried all the rooms, but could only do the first room solo by swimming above the bosses and get the last 6-th boss to 40%, but then AOE kills me. Anyone managed to solve that for the last boss btw?

5 man or 10 man dahuta? I was interested in 10 man, since that's the only one that is available on weekdays.

Sometimes it is just due to hosting doing server-ended updates but resolves rather quickly or its because I'm changing traffic in the database to manage a bit better ( since I have alot of users both using derp & esp for gw2 ).

And it also usually happens sometimes rather around peak time for most AA players, I mean - there is a ton of people who are hacking as of late, and I'm talking atleast 60-70% of the community & there is alot of people in the derp database.

The dahuta followers I don't reckon would need much to kill? I was soloing them long long ago for the ring quest.. I can say though that most of that is a pain for a mage class, rather easy for archer - though.

There is alot of veteran buggers that do it with derp that posted some odd pages ago on most of what they did. I only did it originally just to see if I could and it was just positioning your character on the 1st room to avoid the AoE and to remember when they enrage the AoE gains in size and you've to re-adjust because of that or be positioned good enough to avoid it when they do enrage. Other's were going through the walls an using an alt to side-dps an occasionally stealthing it ( which worked fine from my testing ).

Quote:

There is a few that asked me about this, since the dmg los happens in that room regardless, and some that did accomplish it but also had people with them hacking in the instance to do so. It is a bit difficult to solo serpentis if your GS is low and DPS aswell & I again was doing this mostly with high GS and/or a person joining me to dps on the side.

Try to find a buddy system an see what you can come up with, I know entire guilds on ollo/kyrios/kyprosa/shatigon's that use mod+derp an do it to bug runs in serp or even to do kraken/anthalon, shouldn't be too hard to see who is using some things an ask for a bit of a hand.

okay ill send you a new mail about this again

The first room in serp can be solo'd with the speed hack and without an alt and no swimming. I just use an alt to party then dc it so it doesn't tax my system. Really just need to spec archery for endless arrows and witchcraft for the mana passive. Just target one of the bosses, don't worry about the second. Kite it around the room but you must force it to do the smash every so often or it will reset. The smash can can be easily avoided with speed hack. Keep doing that until the you kill the first one. Loot then you can reset the second to restore mana. Repeat with the second. Might take a couple of tries to get the hang of it but once you do it's easy.

I do that room then kill trash mobs in the others for shards. Can get about 10-15 shards a day just from doing that or more if you want to do more runs.

The other bosses seem to require an alt to keep aggro since they can't be kited or glitched from inside a wall.
