Dekaron Nemesis is another private server.
They have done an amazing amount of changes to the art work.
There are a number of interesting and odd features to their system.

Dekaron – Hints and Research
Here’re a few things I’ve found out while playing Elite Dekaron.
The EXP factor varies from place to place. For example, in Frozen Forest lvl 40 it appears to be 60X, but in Heiharp lvl 25 it appears to be 40x. The DIL factor varies as well. To calculate the rate, watch the EXP and DIL drop for a monster and then do the math based on a Wiki like the 2Moons wiki which has a very nice Monster Detail section. Here’s the section for Heiharp.
Dekaron – Private Servers
- Elite Dekaron
Dekaron is Free to Play and it’s even more fun than it was with 2Moons.
Remember back when I was playing 2Moons? Seems like ages ago. Continue reading “Dekaron – Private Servers”
Ho3K – Taking a Break
We like living in Heroes of Three Kingdoms, except for two big problems:
- There are two currencies. Money and Funds. And due to the second problem, this is just too much of a hassle to mess with.
- There is no good wiki. Oh they have a wiki. But it only has the bare minimum of content, and nothing to help you deal with the Two Currency problem.
Dekaron Evolution – Install Failure
Update: The Fix is to install to C:Evolution GamesDekaron Evolution rather than to C:Program Files. This means that you can manually update using the manual patch at: Recent Update
When installing the Client found here: http://evolutiongames.net/dekaron/
It said it needed the (dot)NET 3.5 support and the Microsoft page provided an installer for (dot)Net 4.0.
The system is Vista x86 SP1.

Ho3K – Chains with Pickup?
Chains are pretty interesting. They are Skill Macros.
I’d like a sequence to end with a PickUp to grab the loot automatically.
Here’s the Chain I have, and it works, except that the Pickup never happens.

Ho3k – Mounted Combat
Mounted combat is available from level 30 in Heroes of Three Kingdoms. But the quest chain to achieve it is not well documented and is confusing. This is a guide to gaining Mounted Combat with a minimum of cost and headaches. I had to attempt it three times before I got it right and finally help from the forum got me across the last stumbling block. It cost me 3 Gold in Money to gain it rather than the usual 1 Gold, so I’m trying to save you the money.
Heroes of Three Kingdoms – Hints
Heroes of Three Kingdoms is a FTP MMO from Perfect Worlds. I’ll put a detailed review in later, but I wanted to post a major hint for playing at levels between 20 and 30 now. I’ll show you how to make your weapon glow like this picture.

Qt 4.7 on Ubuntu Lucid not loading JPG Image Plugin
I’ve written a photo resizer program, which can be found here on Source Forge.
I’m now porting the program to Linux, which is no issue except when it comes to getting it to run on a system where the development environment is not installed. I’ve installed the following packages: libqtcore4, libqtgui4. The program runs fine, except that JPG support does not work. PNG works fine.
The image plugins are there in both usr/lib/qt/plugins and usr/lib32/qt/plugins. Although the list is not the same which is strange.
So why won’t JPG images load into my program?
