  1. Well, the event generated more donations than last year, so I count it as a success! I am only a couple hundred dollars shy of my total fundraising goal, and I hope to make that up through other sources I am tapping.

     

    Statistics:

    60 ticket holders, 4 of which donated multiple times

    490-512 tickets sold (waiting on some e*checks to clear)

    $2560.56 dollars raised (the $$ per ticket does not perfectly equate due to Paypal's 4% cut for some donations)

    Again, the drawing will be at the WSC town hall, 9PM Eastern US time, December 10. You do not need to be present to win. The very first post in this thread will be updated with the winner beside each prize following the drawing. If you are present, I will be able to give you your prize immediately after the event. Also, depending on if I have anything left in storage, there may be consolation prizes.

     

    Thanks everyone!


  2. We are now at 35 contestants with one week to go!
    Donations by paypal don't show up in the "thanks to" list on your page?

    (Not worrying about my donation since you responded, just taking a guess why people don't show up there. :happy:)

    Very true. I have to combine all those donations and them submit them via snail mail. It takes a while, but all paypal donors will eventually appear. That is another reason the direct Paycor donation is preferred, but I will accept all donations. ;)

     

    48 ticket holders and now 70 prizes! Thanks for the potions Marc!


  3. This is a proof that EL is much more than just a simple MMORPG. I am willing to contribute by donating few valuable items as well (if it is still possible).

    I just replied to a donor about Dejan's first sentence. While the L&LS is an American foundation, the benefits of the research will have a global impact. EL players from not only the USA, but also Canada, Germany, Poland, Finland, and elsewhere have already supported my fundraising efforts. This is amazing, especially considering practically none of us have met face-to-face. Yes, EL is much more than just a MMORPG.

  4. Dear Doctor 0ctane,
    Who told you that I had a PhD? ;)
    I swear I wasn't complaining :icon13: I'm just concerned :P In truth, alching isn't my favorite thing in the world but the xp is good - It's like being on vacation from a job that's necessary, but annoying.
    I can understand your frustration.

     

    Not having a MacBook makes this pretty difficult. While I am still trying to figure out the problem, here is a shameless plug: All Mac users please read! We developers have put in a lot of effort to give you a free game. It took me a year to get the game playable on Macs. Hopefully, you will contribute.

    <eight additional prizes donated by diabetes>

     

    The cause: The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is a not-for-profit, voluntary health organization whose mission is to cure leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma and Hodgkin’s disease and to improve the quality of life of patients and their families. The Society provides funding for research, public and professional education, patient aid, and community service programs. It is estimated that leukemia and related cancers will strike approximately 114,530 Americans this year and kill 54,480. Globally, the numbers are vastly higher. Thanks to research funded by The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, the survival rate for the most common form of childhood leukemia has improved from 4% in 1960 to over 80% today.

     

    I have joined a very special Team in Training group of more than 35,000 volunteers nationwide. Last year I competed in a triathlon for the cause. Now I am competing in a marathon on January 11, 2009 for a reason much more important than the personal challenge of completing these events. As members of the Team, we participate on behalf of local patients and survivors and are raising funds to battle blood cancers.

     

    The rules: Lottery tickets are $5 US each. If you want to participate, you need to

    1) send me a forum PM with your real name and dollar amount of donation, and

    2) make your donation at either http://pages.teamintraining.org/soh/wdw09/jwilsonj11 or Paypal donation page.

    You must do 1 & 2 in that order to prevent someone else from claiming to having made the donation. Attempting to claim someone else's donation will get you banned from EL. The first option if preferable since Paypal likes to take a 4% cut. The prize list will increase before the drawing, but it will not decrease.

     

    The winners: Winners will be chosen by lottery. For every $5 a person donates, they will get get one ticket. I will use a random number generator to "draw" the tickets. Yes, you will have to trust me. Prizes from the list will be awarded in the order that the names are drawn. Winning one prize does not preclude you from winning another (assuming you have purchased multiple tickets).

     

    Remember, this is a charity fundraising event that just happens to have prizes as an incentive. The money goes to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Donations are tax deductable in the US. If you do not like the terms, don't participate.

     

    This event has been sanctioned by Entropy, who has graciously a universal hood and thermal serp. Additional donations to the prize list will of course be accepted. Last Year the lottery was able to raise over $2000, and I raised over $6000 total. Hopefully, this year will be just as successful!

     

    Last day to purchase tickets for the lottery is December 9.

    The drawing will be held on December 10 at 9 PM Eastern time, USA and take place in the Whitestone Town Hall.

    A winners list will be posted in this thread. Prizes will be "hand delivered" in-game.

  6. I was wondering if this problem had been taken care of and I'm just missing the post about it.

    You have not missed anything. The problem still exists.

    I'm not complaining, please don't take it that way - I haven't been able to open my manu window without crashing since early October iirc.
    Sure.... :)
    I also can't do the font change that was suggested because I can't open my options window because that also crashes the game.
    When the game first loads, you are given the optin to either log in, create a new character, or change options. Can you change your font at this point?
    0ctane said he was working on it a little bit ago and I hadn't heard or seen anything else about it. If I can be of any help, please feel free to contact me.
    I have a feeling that the problem may have cropped up when the font positioning changed in various dialog boxes. For instance, the number of items remaining is sometimes at the top or bottom of the item in the manu window. I wonder if creating a fontless build would "solve" the problem. Of course, the game would be very difficult to play, but it might give an indication of where the problem truly lays.

  7. S7EVIN was helping me out a bit today trying to crash his MacBook. He did get a crash when trying to do the individual manu rather than the macro. Interestingly, his crash report was quite a bit different.

    Here is the relevant info:

    ...

    Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x0000000040415e80

    ...
    Thread 2 crashed with X86 Thread State (32-bit):
    eax: 0x00000000 ebx: 0x00d21e4b ecx: 0x00000000 edx: 0x00000000

    cr2: 0x40415e80

    What we see here is that there was a problem with a SDL call. Since the eip was the same as the exception code:

    the exception was caused by fetching instructions. Typically this means:

    you've called a bogus function pointer (or, equivalently, called a method on a bogus object)

    you've returned to a bad address which, in turn, means that you've corrupted the stack

    That is according to Apple. For poppeke's crash, things are a bit different since the eip and exception do not match. Again, according to Apple, this means:
    the exception was caused by a memory access instruction (in terms of C, this means that you're dereferencing an invalid pointer).
    Since these crashes both happened while trying to manu (yellow lines across the screen and then a crash) it seems they are related.

     

    So, I am still looking into the problem. That is about all I can say for now.


  8. 1 libGL.dylib 0x96c75cad glVertex3i + 45

    2 net.0ctane.EternalLands 0x0009f914 draw_char_scaled + 461

    That's
    draw_char_scaled ('_', cursor_x, cursor_y, displayed_font_x_size, displayed_font_y_size);

    :confused:

    Yes, that is going to be a tricky one to figure out. I put some printf/log_error lines in, and it spammed my logs dramatically.

     

    For those of you that are getting this crash (ie, crash log says that a Thread crashed with a glVertex3i and draw_char_scaled trace), what font are you using in the game? Also, please provide all the other font settings you might have. Does switching font type still cause the crash? Tell us what kind of Mac you are using. Also, what bank account should we charge. :closedeyes:


  9. Well it says it will not effect the other os X programs and do get the option to send a report to Apple, next to the option to quit or to start the program again.

    This is progress. Now you need to post the crash report so that we know what is going on. Look in ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter for the most recent EternalLands crash report. "~/Library" refers to your home Library and not the main system Library. Or, you can use Spotlight to find the CrashReporter directory.


  10. Thanks for the binary. I tried it and unfortunately it does not work for me. When I'm working with the manu window a blue stripe appears on screen after a while and I get kicked out of the game like before. I really hope there is some other solution. I really appreciate your effort.

    Is there anything in the error logs? Does a crash report appear? A "blue stripe" suggests a graphics problem. Previously, would trying to manu immediately freeze the game, or could you click on it a few times? What graphics chip is in your macbook?


  11. Congrats on taking over the "official" bugs list. I will help out when I can.

    I saw the same crash after login that others have noticed with your client:

    Might I suggest that you alter the distributed el.ini file so that the animation program is turned off by default? This will save some headaches. Cheers.


  12. Hi all. Crash in non-official build. I updated the code and compiled latest today anyway, so in principle it should be a useful report.

     

    Crash when using cursor keys in the console window. Within NC sto. Similar bug already there in 1.50.

    ...

    Crashed Thread:  0

    Yup. Known issue on my build too. A while back someone mentioned that using the arrow keys in the console would cause a crash sometimes. Now, the weird thing is that the crash comes from libobjc. It is not limited to PPC since I can reproduce it on my MacBook Pro.
