[Jun 1 2011, 11:50 am (Edited on Jun 1 2011, 12:04 pm)] I've been experiencing strange issues with the mouse coordinate retrieval.

client.mapx and client.mapy are somehow related with the mob's position on the map, which screws up my mouse aiming. When the mob is at turf 1,1 the bottom left corner of his tile is pixel 1,1. When the mob is at turf 1,55 the bottom left corner of his tile is pixel 1,55. The bottom left corner should always be 1,1 no matter where the mob is on the map, right?

edit: Also, the mouse only updates position when it moves; when the player moves without moving the mouse, the coordinates do not change.

[Jul 18 2011, 1:31 am (Edited on Jul 18 2011, 1:39 am)] Something is wrong with the mouse detection. I think it was a BYOND update, because all of a sudden, this library and everything I used it for just froze as soon as it started up. The mouse flickered between normal and waiting (with the blue circle in Windows 7).
Darn you, BYOND!

Edit: It could also be my computer (as well as another on Win7 and another on WinXP...), because downgrading to 470.1075 doesn't seem to fix it.

[Jun 3 2011, 3:23 pm] It seems to be a cosstalk issue with Java and DreamSeeker. It's not a big issue, but I agree, it's annoying as fuck.

There is a fix to this for users that have the issue though!

The issue lies in the interaction between the Java installer and internet explorer.

In order to fix the issue, use another browser(Firefox, chrome, Opera, Safari, etc.) and install java from there. This should clear up the issue.

Really now, that's great news!
