Surprising that you were able to get the GTK Client running on Windows 98.
Assuming there isn't some sort of problem there..

Have you tried waiting it out to see if you eventually stop firing or trying to shoot arrows?

When shooting arrows, are you holding down the shift key and the direction key the whole time? If so, just tap the direction key a few times to fire and see if that helps.

Another bow problem

Post by mutalisk46802 »

I just started the game and am still in the tutorial and level 1. Im an elven paladin and i was trying to use my bow on the ants in the tutorial. I will kill 1 and my arrow will be lying on the ground, but sometime when i press the left arrow to move left and get my arrow, an ant has already reappeared and it makes my readied skill punching, so i have to unwield then wield my bow to be able to shoot again. Also im pretty sure the * means the item is "locked". What does "locked" mean???

I'm not sure if this is a keybinding I did, or if it's available by default.

I have rotateshoottype bound to the + key on the numeric keypad.

When I want to switch between recently used spells and/or skills, I just hit the + key.

Quick info on key binding:

'bind rotateshoottype
(Hit the enter key, then hit the key you want to bind it too. In my case, it was the plus key)

Locked means that you can't drop the item from your inventory.

This is very handy to have in place on valuable items so that you do not accidently drop said item while in a shop - because then, you would have to repurchase it. This is always an expensive lesson. :x
