Client patch for Windows and Linux data

Recommended Posts

We have an experimental patch that can dramatically decrease the time needed to load new player textures, so the game will be much faster around storage or map changes.

If you have a modern video card (DX11) it will make little difference, as those cards do not suffer from this particular issue.

This is ONLY FOR PEOPLE WHO CAN COPY, OVERWRITE AND EXTRACT FILES PROPERLY. If you do not know how to do those things, DO NOT INSTALL IT.

 

Here are the instructions for Windows:

Make a copy of the EL folder.

It seems that the web server mime type is wrong, so right click on the link and chose "save as"

Download the file from here: http://www.eternal-lands.com/new_actor_update.rar

Close the game.

Extract it in the EL folder so that you OVERWRITE the existing files.

Launch the game normally (and enjoy).

 

For Linux, download the data file, extract it in the EL directory, get the newest CVS, and compile it with NEW_TEXTURES.

 

If it doesn't work, it is most likely because you did not follow the instructions, so please follow them.

 

If you are 100% sure you followed the instructions, and there are some problems, please post here (preferably with a screenshot of the problem).

 

Also, please post observations regarding to this patch here.

 

Disable Custom Clothing- it will not work

Linux: Fedora 12 i686

 

Using the NEW_TEXTURES seems to break custom clothing. I even wiped out the old custom folder. It re-downloaded fine, but I don't see the custom meshes.

 

If I compile without NEW_TEXTURES in an attempt to get custom clothing back, the client segfaults. (Might just be some ifdefs missing.)

Let me know if it's an easy fix, or if it needs further investigation on my end.

Please post no errors or questions about custom clothing in this thread as custom clothing is UNOFFICIAL and these posts are likely to be deleted.

The sizes of some clothes have changed. So you can't use the new data (provided in this thread) with the old client and vice versa. That's why your client crashes if you use the new data files with a client compiled without NEW_TEXTURES.

If you want to test the new client with custom clothing, delete the 'custom' folder and change the server in 'custom_mirrors.lst' to 'advs1.gm.fh-koeln.de' (this is a temporary server for testing the new client).

Works nice on a new Acer latop.

 

On old Compaq EvoN410c, patch causes that both text and graphics get severly blurred.

Yes, on this laptop I use poor man mode. I'll try to turn it off tomorrow and see what happens.

By restoring the minimized window, what exactly do you mean?

 

I mean minimizing EL window to the task bar, then restoring it to its original size.

 

Turning Poor Man mode off / on doesn't change anything.

just to say incredible change - so much faster to login/load maps and approach busy places like votd. The true test will be in a busy invasion - but soo much faster. Thank you!

 

I use 7zip to process rar files and it failed on this one for some reason - just incase anyone else has this issue - download winrar.

agreed, unbelievably nice update (Raz - 7zip under winXP extracted it just fine for me)

 

By any chance could this have made loading map image slower?

the map changing (going indoors/outdoors, going to another map) is a lot faster but opening the map view (TAB key) for the first time on a map then the client hangs for (quit) a while before showing the map. Although seems to load map to memory or something to because the second time viewing the map is instant. But just wanted to know if first time opening went slower than before for anyone else too or is there something i need to work on :)?

 

EDIT:

would gziping my maps help? currently there bmp

Phantom warriors used to be semi transparent before this patch.

 

Yes, some wrong files were included with this update, it will be fixed at the next patch.

Using dds files with DXT1 compression would help. At the moment, the images are loaded an have to get compressed at load time, so it's slower. Using the dds files with DXT1 compression would make the loading faster.

And thanks to all who like this update. It was some work :)

OK, first let me say that I really really love how much faster it is. It really worked well during Wizzy's attack at Haidir today (invasion). I only got 1-2 resynce while people around me grued like crazy :D, and i would normally have grued too.

 

However, the client does crash for me sometimes. The only pattern I have noticed is that the client have either been open for ages or the session have been intense, such as invasion/WTF-instance.

 

Error log below (I'll snip it since it's 800+ lines long) for my latest crash is below. I had only resynced like 2-3 times during that session which is a great improvment (despite the crash :P).

Here it crashed. For the record it was in C2-portal room while it was being invaded, so lots of players and monsters. If it is of any help the client used rhoughly 500-550 Mb of memory at the time but I still had like 500 Mb unused memory.

I have just had a crash - and logging back in it immediately crashed.

 

Unfortunately windows does not give any helpful log/debug info - it just crashes the client and nothing helpful written to logs.

 

I have a laptop - video info as below.

 

Video card: Mobile Intel® 4 Series Express Chipset Family

Vendor ID: Intel

OpenGL Version: 2.1.0 - Build 8.15.10.1994

 

Let me know if there is any debug info i can find.

 

I also noticed that the minimap border is overwritten by the map with this patch

OK, i thought the client used a bit too much memory so i did a small test, hopefully it is of some help. By jumping in and out of Nordcarn storage (27 times) i got the client to use 400 Mb of memory (started at 200 Mb). Error-log is clean.

The patch is working nicely for me. I was using it during the invasion at haidir yesterday when there were uncountable monsters spawning. There is a noticeable improvement when you approach a crowd and when you enter a map for the first time. One minor thing I did notice that the quick spell icons look a little lost in the hud background now. Other than that, great work. :icon13:

Ok, this is a 2-part bug.

 

Part 1. when you are full, and try to pick a bag with x items, it will repeat that message for x items that you can't carry.

bug1fu.png

 

Part 2. if you drop an item (in my case silver) in the bag, then pick it back up and try to grab the bag again, it does not give an overloaded message and/or does not try to pick the bag.

 

Edit. Part 2 happens if you do part 1 first.

One minor thing I did notice that the quick spell icons look a little lost in the hud background now.

same thing with the poison indicator (sry, no screenshot atm)

Had the same happen as Raz, a short quote from the error log:

[11:34:10] File '././meshes/gloves_leather.dds' has wrong size <64, 64> instead of <156, 144>.

[11:34:10] Unkown error!

[11:42:02] File './3dobjects/tile237' not found!

[11:42:02] Error loading image './3dobjects/tile237'

[11:42:11] File '././meshes/gloves_fur.dds' has wrong size <64, 64> instead of <156, 144>.

Thanks all for the testing.

Now about all the bugs:

  • The glove-bug (File '././meshes/gloves_leather.dds' has wrong size <64, 64> instead of <156, 144>. ) was an old bug and the test client logged it. Is fixed in cvs
  • The bugs bluap (quick spell icons), zalic (poison indicator) and Roja (sky clouds) found is because the way the texture load changed. When all items, clouds etc. are converted to dds, it should look like before
  • The client had some old threading problems (race conditions that could produce buffer overruns). I hope I fix them, so there should be no crash under high system load now (cvs).
  • The crash Raz had should be fixed now (cvs). Sir_Odie had it too and helped a lot finding the problem. Thanks again.
  • The crash littlestar is something I was not able to locate, perhaps it was a combination of the other problems, so it could be fixed now in (cvs).

The increased memory usage littlestar mentioned is something to look at. I am not sure if it's a bug in the client. The cache increase memory usage of course. Does the Small actor texture cache option under Adv options affect this? What happens if you change the value for poor man when the memory usage is so high? Changing poor man should clear the actor texture cache.

 

The item problem Forgiven found is something I have to check, but thanks for reporting.
