  1. computer help :/

    Make sure you plugged in all necessary power cables from power supply block.
  2. not sure how to join

    Generally you won't be able to run official client with internal video card. If you are planning to play this game, you should consider buying normal video card with nVidia or ATI chip.
  3. At first I thought it makes no sense if you cannot access your slots in one storage from another (for example if you put red rose at Molgor, you cannot get it at Raven, etc). But then I realized that this is how RL things work, stuff must be carried somehow from one place to another. Now when we have mules, imagine long caravans carrying 100000 flowers from one storage to another. That certainly would be done for a fee.

  5. problems connecting to server

    Try telnet game.eternal-lands.com 2000 You should see welcome message. If you don't then something blocks port 2000, and you should figure out what is it.
  6. The Cost of Mules

    Well. I think what people are trying to say, is not that you can't make profit by being mule, the point is that if you are not mule you get much more gc while harvesting (especially with titanium, as it takes more time to harvest it, than to carry to npc).
  7. #block_buddy

    Yes exactly. It really doesn't matter what sort of short-cuts one uses. It's still the difference between being automatically told someone logged on/off at the time it happened vs having to manually go check. The push vs pull information model. And that difference is significant to some people. Just for the record, it doesn't matter to me. But it does matter to others and simply saying "it's easy to look up" doesn't make it matter less. No problem to make it push-style: #!/bin/zsh buddies[1]="bkc56"; buddies[2]="molime"; for ((i=1;i<=${#buddies};i++)); do bstate[$i]="off"; done links2 -dump http://game.eternal-lands.com/online_players.htm >dump for ((i=1;i<=${#buddies};i++)); do if grep -q -w $buddies[$i] dump; then bstate[$i]="on"; echo "$buddies[$i] is online!"; fi; done; while :; do links2 -dump http://game.eternal-lands.com/online_players.htm >dump for ((i=1;i<=${#buddies};i++)); do if grep -q -w $buddies[$i] dump; then if [ $bstate[$i] = "off" ]; then bstate[$i]="on"; echo "$buddies[$i] comes online!"; # zenity --info --text="$buddies[$i] comes online!" # if you want windowed notifications # you can also use any other way of notifying you prefer fi; else if [ $bstate[$i] = "on" ]; then bstate[$i]="off"; echo "$buddies[$i] goes offline!";\ fi; fi; done; sleep 60; done NO WARRANTY! written in 5 mins, so may contain some bugs
  8. Already suggested and discussed: http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=40894
  9. torches

    But there is still limit on number of lights (AFAIK). So it would look weird when many people with torches come close.
  10. Hyperspace Bag Spell

    Do you know, that there exist fiction books? And people continue write them and read them. Seems like they all should be burned according to your attitude.
  11. Looking at several last threads in this forum, like these: http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=46800 http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=47033 http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=47052 and I guess much more, I can imagine how embarrassed topic-starters might feel. I tried to do some search and (even remembering former discussions), usually I could find only something like these: http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=42726 http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=19990 or like these, without definite statement from authorized person: http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=22754 This is why I think it would be a matter of politeness to add this kind of rule: "Do not close topic with words: 'Already suggested' or 'Search!'" without giving at least one reference to previous discussion". If this rule is followed consistently, it will make some sort of 'threaded' tree, and will allow in few steps restore the history of discussion on a given topic.
  12. No, this is how it would end, if some mod doesn't pop up first and lock the thread: http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=46870 http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=45463 http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=45141 http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=44650 this list can be easily continued. Where do you see spam here? People do not continue to post, when they are given reference(s), unless they have something to add. If you really think, like you said, I afraid you deeply underestimate EL community.
  13. Yes, something like this can be found: http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=23457 but here we come to another point. If last discussion of the matter was like two, three or four years ago, maybe it makes sense to bring it up again, if people are still interested in it. Game continues to change, new people join the game and arguments might be different this time.
  14. Graphical Error

    Looks like same thing as here: http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=46926 But with different OS and graphical card vendor, so it is problem with EL, I surmise.
  15. n00bish c question ...

    Usually you do it this way: struct s; // declare structure struct s a; // declare variable of type struct s. Here you do not know what fields struct s has, and hence can't access them. struct s // definition of structure { ... } // Now you can access fields of struct s.
  16. Can't see console text

    If, as you said, you don't have those lines in your chat log either, then it has nothing to do with graphics drivers or X server.
  17. A Idea For A Bot

    I hardly believe this thing with interest will work. Reason for that is difference between RL and EL economy, which generally can be stated this way: in RL you invest money in industry and production and get profit from it. in EL you invest money in industry and production and loose them.
  18. New player

    ATI Radeon Xpress 200 is NOT a video card, it is chipset. If you use integrated video card, it is not likely you'll manage to run the game. If you have normal PCI Express video card, you should figure out who is vendor (like nVidia or ATI, for example) and download drives for it, not for chipset ATI Radeon Xpress 200. Good luck
  19. Or use an array of pointers to actor structures.
  20. Emote codes for the client

    What is the point to play emotions sent in PM? Usually person you PM is not near, and will not see your smiling, nodding, waving and whatever else. And you would look really weird playing these emotions without saying anything in local
  21. Emote codes for the client

    Lets use xml style, something like: <command type="emote" scope="local" active-body-part="arm" gesture="wave"> guess fans of idiotic xml format would be happy >:-> Now to the point: Seems that emote commands should be on separate line, like hello %smile because any symbol we may choose to escape emotes can be used for usual speaking. which makes it difficult to use them in the middle of the sentence (like: hello %smile). So should be symbol you never start your sentence with, and I don't think format like <nod> or [nod] is reasonable, it's just superfluous key-pressing in the end. What is left? ^ | \ ; : not a big choice.
  22. Client freeze

    The drivers that i use are the latest. 96.43.07. The other drivers does not support my graphic card. Today i had 3 freeze. Do you ever get such freeze, while NOT running EL? If you do, then certainly problem is with driver, and if you are using latest available driver, then try to downgrade it (that freezing problem was caused only by couple of versions). If it is only EL, that causes this freeze, then, really try to recompile it yourself. And another question: when you compile kernel module for your nvidia driver, do you use exactly same version of compiler as for your kernel?
  23. Client freeze

    There was buggy nvidia driver which caused freezing under debian linux, don't remember exact version, but iirc it was in 90-th series. So, probably, you should try another version.
  24. Can't connect to server

    You don't need to open firewall to accept connections from EL server, except ESTABLISHED, RELATED. What you need to open is OUTPUT with dport 2000. And I'm sure if he sais it is open, then it is open. So looks like it becomes blocked somewhere further. You can contact your internet provider about it, or again, if you can connect from your home, just use tunnel.
  25. Can't connect to server

    It may happen that port 2000 is blocked somewhere further. But if you can connect from your home, then just use your home computer as a proxy, no need to use someone else's proxy, especially if it is not free. You may ask your 'system guy' there for details on how to do it. Something like this should work: ssh -C -L 5555:game.eternal-lands.com:2000 <your.home.computer> and then connect to localhost port 5555.
