EL 1.6 final RC (also zip for Unix data)

Recommended Posts

This is, hopefully, the final RC before the actual update. If this RC testing goes well, we can have the update sometime this week.

Please note that some modified maps are included, so in some areas on the main server you will experience map issues. Please do not report them, or you will get banned for at least 1 month from the forum.

Those maps should, however, be working on the test server, so if you decided to use the final RC and go on the test server, do report possible map issues here (with coordinates and preferably a screenshot)/

 

The files are: http://www.eternal-lands.com/el_final_rc_160.exe (el_rc_160_final.exe is the exe for the new client, so don't use el.exe)

For Linux/BSD/Mac, the data only is here: http://www.eternal-lands.com/el_update_data_160.zip

 

As usually, if there are any problems (except for the above mentioned maps thing) post here.

Clueless Mac user here who is not used to terms like 'data files'. Are there any instructions for people like me on what to do with the data files? This was covered last update, but that was really confusing, and I still don't understand the steps I should follow. Thank you.

The data files are only if you compile your own client.

Mine reverted back to crashing with "Initializing OpenGL Extensions" using poorman 1 and 0.

 

Error log only mentions the server failover.

 

Uninstalled and reinstalled 1.5, updated again.

 

The last 4 Pre RCs worked fine.

inside <yourHomeDir>/Library/Application Support/Eternal Lands/main/ (or test) you have the el.ini. Open it and set #use_animation_program to 0. Restart and cross fingers. If still doesnt work, go to eternallands.app/Contents/Resources/data and rename the shaders directory to something else. While you are at it can you test if new_selection works on your machine? (new_selection is under video option tab).

I seem to have this same problem

i only saw some black shadows instead chars

running on Windows XP

 

I see a lot of shadows or something like them, instead of my character. I can try to get screenshot if necessary; and will give system specs also if needed. (Not sure what specs you would need to know, and don't really want to post the whole printout)

 

I don't want to play around with options or such without checking first, for fear of making something worse :)

That's all that has been written to the log, tried the test server, that log stops at the same point.

Ok, rename the shaders folder, see if it works.

Might be worth mentioning that its not just my character, also the rabbits and such that were near me (screenshot does not show this, unfortunately) Also, game crashes after a seemingly random time period. (Tried 3 or 4 times, game crashed anywhere from 20seconds after login - several minutes after login)

 

VideoCard Specs

 

Name: ATI Radeon HD 2600 Series

Manufacturer: ATI Technologies Inc.

Chip Type: ATI Radeon Graphics Processor AGP (0x9587)

This is going to make me sound like an idiot, but where do I find infos log? :P

"This application has failed to start because SDL_image.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem"

 

i re-installed 4 times...still it continues to not work. what can i do? :S

 

i searched for the file, i found it and moved it into C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents/Eternal Lands (el_rc_160_final is in this folder)

from this folder where do i move the SDL_image.dll to, to make the game open?
