Test server, test 2

[Entropy]

http://www.eternal-lands.com/update_test_2.zip

Please repeat the instructions from the previous thread. I swear to god, if there is anyone who doesn't unzip it properly and then comes and bitches here about problems, they will get banned 2 weeks from the main game!

If you don't know how to unzip, don't come to the test server, ok? I need people to actually help us test, not to sabotage us.

 

What this update fixes:

1. One of the staffs is actually as it is supposed to be when held by some races.

2. The blackness on the ground in some areas hopefully fixed (if not, please post here)

3. Misc map fixes.

 

4. After I restart the test server!!!! Made the staff of protection more useful, which will cause some problems to those of you who were WEARING it just before the server went down. In adiditon, some items will have new icons, and the bone of death and the branch will actually do what they were supposed to do.

[Entropy]

Ok, now the test server is restarted, please let me know if all the items also have the proper icons.

Can someone help me get unstuck? Yesterday, I was exploring Kusamura and clicked on "Welcome to Emerald Valley Trade Route" sign. I then got the following messages: "Unable to switch to map ./maps/cont2map8,elm!", "using an empty map instead.", Fatal error: Couldn't load map ./maps/nomap.elm." "fix your maps" and "disconnected from server!" I closed the game and went back to the main server and continued playing. I tried signing on to the test server todayand nothing happens after i enter my name and password on the sign in screen.

[Entropy]

You were banned from the test server for sabotaging us (posting wrong information, inability to unzip properly, etc.).

What did I do wrong? I thought I followed the instructions correctly. There was no warning about going into unfinished maps. Any information I posted was exactly what I found. Is there any way to get unbanned?

[Guest EgoMatrix]

Ok will try the test server later today

[Dunian]

Tarsengaard Magic School [363, 197] The message here needs to be changed, since you now can go out.

Zyralik's School of magic [48, 80] You can't continue down the hallway to the East.

To put it simply, You lack the technical aptitude to assist with the testing. Dont stress about it, go back to the normal server and enjoy yaself.

[Sistema]

The Forgotten Isle insides - [227,24] (if I'm not mistaken)

You cannot exit the house.

[fixed]

 

Not sure if this is a bug, but the entrance to the temple in Tirnym isn't working.

[fixed]

And Zyralik's School of Magic was suppose to be fixed. I mean, I checked the map file which came with this update, it seems okay. But it doesn't work ingame.

That map is finished.

[Espresso_Boy]

I don't know if it's a bug or intentional to embarrass people being hit by bones, but when FenerBahce hit Annraoi neither of them saw a message, but other people (on other maps?) saw that Annraoi was hit with the bone of death for 150 extra damage!

 

edit: This time we both saw the message and other people didn't see it. hmm...

 

edit2: It seems like the message only goes to one map, not necessarily the right map, not necessarily the same map each time.

Yes, this also happened to me.

I was in Morcraven Marsh. I'm not sure where Annraoi was, but he hit a cyclops with the bone, and I got the message.

[MagpieLee]

Did anyone saw me do this vs a Desert Chim? I saw the +150 on the monster but no red server message about it!

 

Does the C2 Portal room still say: "To Iscarlith"? I thought it was Iscalrith..

 

Maze of Ice

(curtesy of Czpil)

Blue wall at 166,100 is only one way - deadend.

 

Blue wall at 125,134 'access' point is at 103,130 - (quite a walk away)

Blue wall at 161,134 'access' point is at 140,132 - See above. Also if you stand really close to them you wouldn't walk all that way.

 

Map of Water

Blue Wall at 45,6 is only one way.

Blue Wall at 138,119 can be accessed at 111,119 - Its on the other side of another wall area.

Blue Wall at 166,64 can be accessed at 153,64 - same reasons as above (if its a maze its semi-cheating :lol)

 

Map of Below 0 Temparatures! AH!

Blue Wall at 54,73 can be used at 15,70 - on the other side of another wall.

The floor level drops at 130,6 (the water is knee deep). I don't know if this is a bug or not but it seems out of place.

 

Bethel:

117,178 Cave. (Cave Insides are 53,49) exits to 123,179

 

160,175 Cave is buggy - you can enter but you can't exit. Coords inside are 231,111

171,160 Cave is the same. 293,111 are the coords inside.

177,76 cave is the same. Coords inside is 111,234

185,59 cave is the same. Insides are Bethel Caves 231,234

 

Palon Vertas

The house at 300,160 can be walkthroughed

The General store still has black floor and walls.

The Flower shop in Salingen still has a flickery rug and the counter is flickery too.

Vanyels house - you can't get out once you're inside

The magic cavern (where you sense a strong magic presence) upon entering you're jumped to 68,265 (far away from the boat). Furthermore, you can't use the 'land' to jump onto it and you can't use the boat to get out of the cavern. Magic can be used now too..

 

Desert Pines

I don't know if this is intentional, but the coal inside the Crystal Caverns insides is harvestable.

 

Some fires on c2 still don't work ;(

 

C2 Portal room typo.

When approaching Iscalrith portal, it says "To Iscarlith"

[Roja]

sorry server's down right now because of some map bugs. should be up shortly..

[Arnieman]

I was in PL, attacked a Male Goblin (I was unarmed). I killed the goblin, dropped a bone that had been in my inventory (not equiped) to open the bag, and after I pick up the bag, I get a message about Male Goblin being hit with the bone of death for 150 damage...

 

Not sure if this is related to the "bug" posted earlier, but could be similar.

 

EDIT: Also to note - PL sign to WS should be changed (if all the signs have been changed). I'll edit again if I see others.

[fixed]

 

EDIT #2: Moved to a later post.

[The_Piper]

I grabbed the latest CVS source and compiled it with

 

"make -f Makefile.linux"

 

(i didnt touch Makefile.linux. Maybe i should add/remove some options?)

 

and crash.

 

(yes, i made a copy of my current EL folder, downloaded the update_test2.zip, unzipped and copied the content of the update folder into the copy of my EL folder, got messages, that files will be replaced)

Egratia Point Magic place. (entrance at Egratia Point [44, 139])

When you enter, you appear at [81, 60] (inside the building). This is quite far from the door.

[fixed]

 

When you press the compass, you get "You are in a magical place." then coords. (There should only be one space between 'in' and 'a'.)

East of [82, 60], all you get is "You are in [coords]"

The house in Naralik 128,58 seems to have 2 doors where one should be.

 

You cant leave the house when you click on the door inside, it does not even show the door cursor, you must rotate the camera and click on the outside of that door. And if you rotate slowly, you see, that there are 2 doors where only 1 should be.

 

And there is a "bad object" box inside that house.

[fixed]

 

In grubani 43,135 you walk into a house, you can step through the wall if you use the mapwalker or press HOME key to step forward.

 

In southern grubani 288,85, you cant leave the hut which says "Welcome to Omiomlor Meeting Hut =)"

[fixed]

You cant leave the small hut in grubani 290,75 which says "It seems like

nobody is in here.".

[fixed]

You cant leave the small hut in grubani 321,106 which says "Hey, this is not your hut! Get outa here xD".

[fixed]

You cant leave the small hut in grubani 286,73 which says "Just some old books in here.".

The portrait of Nahark is still a female elf.

 

The house in Portland at 277,118 still says "If you want to buy this house, doante 50 USD!" First, typo "doante"=donate, 2nd, is this message still true?

[fixed]

The so called "blacksmith" is still marked on the VOTD tab map as a black smith.

For the future: PLEASE post the coordinates of the actual map you are on! Otherwise I cannot find the bugs easily!

 

Piper: Err... all the numbers i posted ARE coordinates, or what do you mean??

 

You posted coords of the OUTSIDE map, not the insides. So I dont' know which house in the inside map it belongs to without cross checking in many files(basically it would take me 10mins to do something i can do in less than 1 min)

Imbroglio Islands [151,96] - after clicking the cave arch, my char walks in a weird direction to suddenly appear in the Maze of despair [188,114]. Exit works fine.

The stone parts of teleports in Imbroglio Islands [174,172], Isle of the Forgotten [57,29], Isle of the Forgotten [25,27] and Iscalrith Insides [225, 350] flicker on my ATi Radeon 9200. I also get some flickering when there are two transparent objects in a line on Isle of the Forgotten. Oh, these things flicker only when the camera is moving (while walking, rotating the camera and zooming).
