My first screenie and a *few* questions...

Kallykat's picture
Okay, ever since my deer was turned into a bat, she has been strangely attracted to this zombie-pelted deer. She followed him (or a look alike) around a few days ago even though she was fairly certain he was trying to lose her. Today, she managed to find him again as soon as I logged on. Sorry if she annoys you. Don't worry, I think she's about ready to return to her deer form. (Her name is Karma, btw.)

----------------------------------

This is my first deer, and she only recently grew up, so I was hoping someone could answer some questions about the Endless Forest for me.
1. Are there any good help sites/fan sites/guides out there?
2. Is there anywhere I can go to see all the possible antlers/pelts/masks?
3. Is this the best place to post questions like this, or is there somewhere else I should be asking these?
4. I see people talk about all their different deer characters. How do you get multiple deer? Do you just make a new account every time? Do you have to wait until one deer dies?
5. Do deer die? After how long?
6. How many deer or accounts are you allowed to have?
7. Once you get a set, do you always have it available? For example, if my deer got the peacock set, then the zombie set, then removed items to go back to the peacock set, would she be able to turn herself zombie again?
8. Screenies. I've got windows vista and my "p" screenshot doesn't work. I have to manually "prnt scrn" and paste into a paint document after I exit the game. Therefore I can only save one shot per play. Is there a better way to do this?
9. Is it better to play the game as a screensaver or desktop window? Is the latter even possible and how?

Thanks for your help, everyone. I really like the site so far. I know I'm forgetting something, but I think this is enough pestering for now...

Yes, that deer you met is my Mozart. Nice to finally know who you are. He also feels strangely attracted to bats, so he often follows them around. Smiling
Though he is quite.. different. He doesn't play, isn't too fond of fawns, rarely ever talks or uses emotes and is very shy towards other deer. Mozart probably won't recognise Karma anymore when she returns into her Deer form, so don't be offended when he just backs away and flees. Laughing out loud

Hi there! Welcome to TEF! 1.

Hi there! Welcome to TEF!

1. You're pretty much on it. From my experience, this is the definitive source for all things TEF, aside from the official forums, which you can find here. Everyone here has always answered questions in a quick, timely, easy to understand manner; they're all ridiculously nice, so don't be afraid to ask specific questions.
2. The list of pelts/etc, can be found here -- I'm pretty sure this is all of them, and that it's up to date.
3. IMO, the best place to do questions is a blog entry, or if you want, the official forums.
4. You can make multiple accounts, yes. As far as I know, you do not have to wait for any of them to die. In fact--
5. While I've read somewhere about deer 'dying', I personally have no experience with this. Someone else might know better than I.
6. I think - someone can correct me on this as well - that you have to have an email address PER account. So as many deer as you have addresses for.
7. As long as you save the spell data for the zombie set, then yes. You can learn about how to do that here!
8. This one...I'm not sure about. I'm using Windows 7, so...
9. I play it as a windowed game. I do that by going into the TEF folder and clicking on forest viewer. NOTE: TEF does not like to be minimized, so alt+tabbing must be your friend!

Smiling If you've got any more questions, don't hesitate to ask. Like I said, everyone here is amazingly polite and helpful. Enjoy your stay!

Hey there, welcome! I love

Hey there, welcome! I love bats, they are my favourite animals in TEF. ^^

About dying: no, TEF deer can't die. That's not a part of the game.
However, if you read about a deer dying here on the community site, then it was most likely a person who roleplayes their deer and decided to kill their character (just as some people make their deer fall in love, injure themselves etc.). That just means they don't play that character anymore.

About multiple accounts: you don't even need different e-mail addresses for them. I have 3 characters and use the same address for them all. So go on, have fun with creating new deer! Smiling

And concerning Vista and screenies... I have no clue, it seems to be different with everybody. But you should find help on the forums. Maybe here?

Hope this helps a bit. =]

5. Only if you want them to.

5. Only if you want them to. They cannot truly die and will never be eliminated from them game, though some people choose to never play them again.
6. There is no limit, as far as I know. Also, you can have as many pictos on one e-mail address as you want, I believe.
8. Go into your screenshot folder and click compatibility files. Your screenies will be there.

Thanks so much to everyone

Thanks so much to everyone who has responded! I haven't had time to check out all the links yet, but I will (and I already found my screenies!). If anyone has anything to add, feel free--someone else might have the same questions... (And tell Mozart not to worry about offended Karma; she still has a hard time remembering specific pictos too.)
