Got invalid sound number

[Ruthgar]

The only difference between your error log and mine was the invaled sound number. I found that the files do not exist or are mislabled. Even when I replaced/relabled/created the files it wants I still can not log in. I thought it might be my video card but our cards are different. So I am not alone but I still have no answers. Just letting you know there are more out there.

Don't know if this will narrow the problem any.

[Kendai]

Guess what? I have the same problem all. Y'all need new video cards, same as me. ^.^;;; Sorry...

[sirdan]

i doubt that

[Minion]

It's not the video card. Merrick and I use 100% the same computers. The boxes came in side by side. Same configuration and it works fine here.

hey guys to fix this just "make" the files it says your missing by copieing like

 

thats the same problem i just helped sirdan with

and heres how we fixed it

for the fontv go into your el/texture file

and make a copie of font.bmp and rename it fontv.bmp

then open note pad and make a bland save for quest_log.txt

for the 3 particals there in textures also just copy 4 or 3 and rename it for each one you dont have (i dont have them eather so i cant send)

then in animations copy the canine_pain1 and rename it

[Tigger]

ok i got it down to this:

Error: Can't open file "quest.log"

step by step..lol.... thanks

I made a copy of player_slash2 and named it 1 and that

error is gone

[Merrick]

then open note pad and make a bland save for quest_log.txt

 

In other words...

 

Open notepad

Click file - Save as - Then type in file name quest.log -

Save it in your EL file (Usually C:\Program Files\Eternal Lands)

 

That's it.

w00t, after following your instructions (and disabling my Norton's ^.^;; ) I got all the way past the log in screen until it shows a black screen and says it experinces an error and shuts down. However, even after following your instructions on "quest_log.txt", I still get that same error. It is the only error I have left lol.

[Ruthgar]

for quest log error msg I opened notebook and saved as quest.log and the error went away. now I have no error msg in log but it still acts the same for me. No log in.

[Tigger]

ok after playing around again with the quest log that

error is gone and the EL error log is clear, but it still

gets a error screen when i log in. So close..lol

I have the same problems as you guys.

But I believe it's possible to enter the game when you deactivate your (Norton) antivirus.

Once you're inside, you can activate it again.

 

It worked for me yesterday!

I will try it again now that I made the changes written above !

 

EDIT: it works without the Nortan activated!

My errorlog now only says this:

 

No Anim: ./animations/canine_idlel.caf

 

Error: Can't open file "quest.log"

 

The Canine_idlel thing is new

The quest.log might be because i named it quest_log before. will try changing it.

I get those player slash, particles 5,6,7 quest log, canine pain, fontv... alot.

Player slash is the animation of a player attacking, I literally can't even see it.

Particles don't affect much, most likely.

Quest log is because I deleted the old one.

Canine pain... no clue.

Fontv probably when you change fonts in options, and it shows like a square.

Upgrading to catalyst 5.8 (ATi video drivers) solved my problems. maybe it will help you too, see: http://www.ati.com
