Rehdon Report post Posted November 16, 2007 Sounds like this might be a place for improvement in the update after this, a way to totally turn off all sound processing for the cpu starved players. Good idea. I think even low- to middle-power CPUs would benefit from this saving (seeing that the EL process takes 90% of the CPU on my lowly sempron box).

Torg Report post Posted November 16, 2007 Sounds like this might be a place for improvement in the update after this, a way to totally turn off all sound processing for the cpu starved players.I was thinking about it this arvo and you can remove a lot of the processing by removing the sound config. When the sound config is missing the relevant functions exit at the entry point, which is only a tiny amount than if they were ifdef'd out. There is however no config option to handle this which might be worth adding. This is the short cut's "Start in" directory, the same as the Target path (minus 'test' at the end). "C:\Program Files (x86)\Eternal Lands Test1" Hmmm. Firstly, note that for the Target the "test" should be outside the quotes, otherwise the option becomes part of the first argument and hence the filename. Something like: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Eternal Lands Test1" test I'm guessing you are aware of that however. Secondly, can you try with a trailing slash on that directory. I hope that it isn't required, but that might be something I overlooked. Thirdly, I'm not sure about the brackets. I don't tend to put brackets into filenames/directories and hence haven't tested the client with them. I don't know of any likely problems offhand, but that seems reasonable it could be a possible problem. Good idea. I think even low- to middle-power CPUs would benefit from this saving (seeing that the EL process takes 90% of the CPU on my lowly sempron box).Well the CPU usage is largely dependant on the graphics details etc. If you have FPS limt set to 0 (unlimited) then it will use all the available CPU to keep raising your FPS count. This then means the game will constantly use around 100% CPU. On more recent machines this isn't quite the case as there are other bottlenecks but that isn't really relevent. To get a reasonable idea of how much CPU the game is using, limit your FPS to around 20. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jaxbot Report post Posted November 16, 2007 (edited) Hello. Should I take this into another thread? Anyway, that bug I mentioned earlier happened again. I was standing at the beam, with my inv open, no console windows/maps, and was in another window typing. The error box came up, and I opened up the EL window. I could click to the side and the walk light thingy would flash on the ground, but I couldn't exit my inventory or rotate the camera. There was a healthbar hiding behind my inventory window, but I couldn't make out the rest, since the items got in the way. When I signed back on, the only thing there was a beaver My error log looks just like I clicked exit on the client, so I dunno, maybe that stupid windows firewall is trying to kill EL? Anyway, gotta love the new storage window! (real useful, no need to look through chatlogs/console to find out how much of a item you have). Edit: another window, it was a notepad window, not another EL window. Edited November 16, 2007 by Jaxbot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mugwump Report post Posted November 16, 2007 I'm glad you are discussing the subject of low-end computers! Please do not slow down the progress of Eternal Lands for our sakes, however. If we can spend the time to play EL on our 'last century' machines, we can also scrape up the funds to at least upgrade what we have, or buy the new low-end machines. There may yet be deals out there like my 1999 E-machine was free with three years of CompuServe. At the time, the service was fair and the machine was tops! That's how I found EL!

Torg Report post Posted November 16, 2007 Ok, I have finally patched the code to automatically copy an existing ini file into a new server directory so could people please test it if you are able! I have also applied a patch (not sure from whom) to check the keys.ini file was successfully opened before reading it. The only other thing before the update is I forgot to ask Ent which defines he wanted for the new shield effects. The code is written we just need the ID's the server will use. I'm going to bed now so if one of the other devs could chase this up it will mean the pre-update can happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ghrae Report post Posted November 16, 2007 This is the short cut's "Start in" directory, the same as the Target path (minus 'test' at the end). "C:\Program Files (x86)\Eternal Lands Test1" Hmmm. Firstly, note that for the Target the "test" should be outside the quotes, otherwise the option becomes part of the first argument and hence the filename. Something like: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Eternal Lands Test1" test I'm guessing you are aware of that however. Secondly, can you try with a trailing slash on that directory.

I don't tend to put brackets into filenames/directories and hence haven't tested the client with them. I don't know of any likely problems offhand, but that seems reasonable it could be a possible problem. test is outside the quotes. I'll try the additional slash this evening. The brackets are because I use Win XP 64. "Program Files" is for 64 bit applications. "Program Files (x86)" is for 32 bit applications (i.e. EL). I have a feeling I'm in the vast minority to use WinXP 64 >< Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluap Report post Posted November 16, 2007 (edited) The only other thing before the update is I forgot to ask Ent which defines he wanted for the new shield effects. The code is written we just need the ID's the server will use. I'm going to bed now so if one of the other devs could chase this up it will mean the pre-update can happen. I'll happily do that. For those effects, use IDs after #define SPECIAL_EFFECT_HEAL_ALLIES 71 Then tell me which ID you used for each. The patch uses these values currently. + // when one player casts heat shield on himself + SPECIAL_EFFECT_HEATSHIELD = 72, + // when one player casts cold shield on himself + SPECIAL_EFFECT_COLDSHIELD = 73, + // when one player casts radiation shield on himself + SPECIAL_EFFECT_RADIATIONSHIELD = 74 I'll apply the patch and give it a whirl. Just double checking, this is wanted for the release? edit: Tested by setting each value in turn to 3 and using normal shield spell. They all look fine (the cold effect may me a bit large) and I could see no issues with the patch code once I'd sorted out/restored the indentation It's in CVS now. Thanks Florian.

marack Report post Posted November 17, 2007 (edited) Installed the new RC3 and sound files. This went well. Had to create the EL.INI first by starting EL and then going back to the EL.INI file to edit the #data_dir thingy. I noticed that the #enable_sound= 8 had to be changed to #enable_sound= 1. I think the '8' might be wrong. All the sounds "sound" great!! I've listed my last err.log for reference; please note the "Bad light (number 3)..." comment in the last line...not sure if significant.

popeye Report post Posted November 18, 2007 Could I get a link for the linux version? I clicked on a download link from the first or second page and it was a windows version. It will not log me into the game, screen goes black with the blue progress bar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torg Report post Posted November 18, 2007 I noticed that the #enable_sound= 8 had to be changed to #enable_sound= 1. I think the '8' might be wrong.Hmmmm. This one shouldn't be a problem. Originally it wasn't to enable sound, but determine the types of sounds to play. Since adding volume controls for each type, this went back to just being an enable/disable. Any positive number should work for enabling sound. [11:49:53] Error creating buffer: Invalid name passed as an argument to an AL call.

Last message repeated 2 times These errors are relatively normal, but they should only occur occasionally. You have several errors before the client has even loaded which worries me a little. EDIT: While walking around and killing creatures along the way I've noticed two issues; 1) after killing a gob in MM cave map (and just after the final battlecry) the chars significantly "slowed" down (FPS stayed the same). 2) after killing a female gob in the same map (and just after the battlecry) the client crashed!! Hmmm, interesting but nothing obvious comes to mind. [11:57:12] Error creating buffer: Invalid name passed as an argument to an AL call.

Last message repeated 374 times [12:00:50] stop_stream - Error stopping stream - error: Invalid operation attempted. Wow! Ok, this number of errors is huge. They shouldn't be occuring like this unless maybe you have been using the client for several hours and that was the complete error log (therefore only a couple of errors every 5 mins). We should move this discussion to the Programming forum. Can you please post some more details about your OS, sound card and driver version in the NEW_SOUND thread over there. I'm also interested in those error messages as they are worded differently to any I've seen before. I'm wondering if you are using a different library which could be causing you problems, so if you know what OpenAL library you have, please post those details too. I unfortunately don't have very much time to spend on this before the update and I haven't seen anyone else with problems like this so I expect the update will go ahead and you might need to play without sound until I or someone can take more of a look.

popeye Report post Posted November 18, 2007 Well, guess what, this is NOT helping, this is wasting our time! FYI, I was able to log in just fine on the test server with the character popeye. I overlooked this post, previously. Popeye is not my character name. It is my forums name. If you want folks to test the candidate you should help them to get it running. I can log in to the test server on version 1.4.0 beta, but do not find directions to download rc3 for cvs. I have tried to dl it and it's windows version.

Torg Report post Posted November 18, 2007 I can log in to the test server on version 1.4.0 beta, but do not find directions to download rc3 for cvs. I have tried to dl it and it's windows version.There is only a Windows version. Ent was supposed to supply an archive of the data files, but I assume forgot. To run this client under Linux or Mac you need to obtain the data files from the Windows install and build your own client from CVS. Info on how to build the client can be found in the Programming forum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Entropy Report post Posted November 18, 2007 Popeye is not my character name. It is my forums name. If you want folks to test the candidate you should help them to get it running. I can log in to the test server on version 1.4.0 beta, but do not find directions to download rc3 for cvs. I have tried to dl it and it's windows version. You are REALLY starting to piss me off! I asked a question, so that I can see what's wrong: And your username on the test server is? To which you replied like an asshole: I'm just trying to help, no need to belittle folks. I had no idea we had to set up new accounts to run RC3. So instead of just telling me what character name you have on the test server, you acted in an agressive manner, as though I am the one who has to apologize to you!

DormantSouL Report post Posted November 18, 2007 Running: XP Pro SP2 I had no trouble installing the client. I did have to remove it from the default folder, and put it into its own, before it would even open. I ran it and neglected to change to the test server before hand. The client did run and seemed functional enough on the main server. I swapped it over to connect to the test server and as well had fully functional use. One thing that did seem odd, and I'm not sure if it had anything to do with the main server compliance, but as soon as I opened my browser, (2.0.0.9 Mozilla 5.0 (Firefox)) I found all of my bookmarks gone, and homepage set to Mozilla default. Otherwise, a flawless run for the client itself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My data_dir is set correctly [20:51:01] Error: Can't open file "./particles/moon_bubbles1.part" A quick search shows it's only mentioned in ./maps/misc1.elm.
