Yet another VoIP client.

A clumsy “pretends to be pretty” interface, but it seems reasonable enough. Definitely not better than Mumble for the basics.

It might be better-suited for large groups, or because it has a free server, or some other thing I haven’t discovered. I’ll keep it in my toolbox, but I don’t really like it.

Turns your mailbox into another bank, plus a whole lot more.

With Bulk Mail Inbox and Bulk Mail, I can use my mailbox as an unlimited-slot bank. The one problem is that you will run into a full mailbox issue, where you cannot see the attachments of backlogged mails until you empty out your current stuff. This is an intentional limitation in the game. Nothing is ever deleted or lost until it reaches its normal mail expiry date.

Though I first thought I had never lost items or gold, I do think I’ve lost items but hadn’t nailed the problem down. I thought I was being too stupid to double-check after typing. I still do trust it.

  • Shows a dialog with all items and money in your mailbox.
  • Allows you to take individual items even if they were all sent in one email.
  • Mark multiple items to take without taking all.

A bar that displays your threat; duh.

Quite customizable. I just use it for a slim bar. It helps me know when I’ve built too much threat and reminds me when I’ve caught it.

A simple error manager. When an error is caught it will blink a small minimap icon to inform you. Clicking the icon opens a panel listing all errors. Clicking an error shows a full stack trace, handy to copy/paste into a bug report.

You can also access the panel via an LDB launcher or by typing /err or /tekerr
