A Few Newbie Questions

The Wormwood's picture
I've got a few questions, that I'm sure you veterans are going to giggle at a bit. *cough*
Anyway, what would cause a deer to become invisible? I know its sometimes hard to see when they've become a bat or a bird, but I moved the camera all around, and couldn't see anything but the picto and a shadow. Is this a glitch of some kind?


Has this happened to anyone else? I tried to switch all the display settings to maximum, and my poor archaic old videocard just about croaked. As a result, TEF crashed. I logged back in naturally, and fixed the settings as best I could (its still not fabulous; I have a LOT of trouble moving/clicking when there are a number of deer in frame), only to find... Grim was still there.

I crashed a SECOND time (no clue about that one), and rebooted only to watch the Grim-clone rise from the ground in a rather spooky, if nifty manner, then start running in place.

And finally, a question about masks/antlers/pelts... I think I remember reading somewhere that the skull mask, the day of the dead mask/pelt, the zombie pelt, the red 'bleedy' antlers and candle antlers were something you could only get at halloween. Is this true? My only real aspiration for Grim is a skull mask. *grin*

(And just for fun...)

Grim: Ladies and Gentledeer of the jury...

Thanks in advance!

I've seen deer rise from out

I've seen deer rise from out of the ground, too.

I don't know a lot of technical stuff but things you described do sound like glitches and normal problems that come from pushing your PC too much. I'm sure that once you set the settings back, it should be alright.

As for the pelt, antler, and mask question...I'm not sure. I'm fairly new myself.

Invisible deer are a glitch,

Invisible deer are a glitch, and having a crash can cause all kind of fun.

If your computer is slow, turning off shadows and lowering character detail will help. So does turning down the nature detail and character animations, but this makes the forest look 'naked' and the deer move a bit oddly.

As for the Halloween sets, they were only available for a limited while. But a lot of people copy and even trade their spell data, there's information on that in the support forums.

Happy foresting Smiling
