Hmmm... I must be looking in the wrong place? Can't find them.

How about the old music files, from the 1.5 version. Are they still mirrored somewhere? As far as I know, they should still work, right? I know some people still have them, could anyone put them up somewhere? I wouldn't mind mirroring them, after all it's only 66 MiB, right?

Well if it's OK for you to stress the hell out of your mirror, then I will. Just wanted to contribute, you see By the way, do you have the old music files (version 1.5.0) on your mirror?

Hello, Sorry if I'm bumping this topic, but I am unable to find the current music files. This topic seems quite old, I suppose that the music files are already up? I used the search but I got 20 pages of results, and all relevant topics point to this topic.

Hello, I searched the forum but didn't find a definitive answer. Is anyone seeding a torrent for the new version of the client? That would relieve a bit of the stress on the official download mirror. After all, the EL devs pay for hosting the download, so I would like to give something back and share by seeding a torrent. It's no problem for me to seed up to several tens of gibibytes per month, so with a client of about 50MiB that means I can help several hundred people.

Oops, sorry about that, I forgot :/ Anyway, we settleed the issue via PM. I'm curious about the outcome. Are the files gzipped, or aren't they? And if they aren't, can I do that myself without any breakage? On my own responsibility of course, but will it work in theory?

Is it possible that you are confusing PNG and JPEG? Shouldn't that be: "JPEG with lossy compression is garbage"? Losless means you don't loose any quality, and lossy means that you do loose quality. My two cents.

Umm, this is a fatal error, how did you lose that file? Ignore that error please. First I cd'ed into the game directory and then I didn't get the error. But when I started it from ~ with the full path in front of the executable file, I got that error. Obvious, because if I don't configure the data directory, el defaults to the current directory (it says so in the config comments), which would of course be ~ Moving all files to a more permanent location is on my todo list, but first I would like to know if I can get it working from "current directory"

ATI something (not on the machine right now) The standard graphics card that ships with an Acer Aspire 1800. Details will follow. I have installed the "restricted drivers" package. Could Xgl be part of the problem?

EL even works with Dvorak, so I don't think it is an EL issue. Could be OS related. Check your keyboard mapping or read the manual or online help of your operating system if you are not using Linux/BSD.

Last time I checked Antwerpen is in Belgium, not Netherlands, but nearly the same One is full of flu today, so I shall try to keep this short; yes, thank you Mr. Pedantic. I am (as I'm sure Nostalg is also) aware of the geographical location of Antwerpen. What puzzles me more is why you would feel it so important to point this fact out to the EL world at large. Unless you got a new Atlas for Xmas and wish to make use of it for the good of one and all? He's from Antwerp, that's perhaps even worse than being from Dutchland. :-p (Antwerp: 2nd city of Belgium, not so far from the Dutch border, where the Dutch come every weekend to "leak" against the cathedral) But that's easy for me to say, I'm from the other side of "the water" (river Scheldt), I live in East Flanders which is (don't laugh!) west of Antwerp. Animosity between Antwerpian and non-Antwerpian Flemish is almost as high as between the Dutch and the Flemish in general. So I have an alibi for being pedantic.

Fresh download of the latest and greatest version. First time I play it on this pc: Acer Aspire 1800, Ubuntu 7.10. After giving user&pass, I get a progress bar. 3D objects load. 2D objects load. After that, the game crashes.
