Client changes since 1.9.5p8 - to be kept up to date

Something like

#reset_res should be good to swap back to original (same as client opening size)

#set_res xxxx yyy to switch to desired 

#save_res to set the current resolution as user defined and auto-select "user defined" resolution for further openings.

#show_res to see current resolution to give an idea what a desired resolution should be

I've committed changes to add these four commands.

[bluap]

I've updated all the builds and the information at the top if this thread with the latest change details.

How about adding an el installer version to the download versions. I know a few people who would love to try the new clients out but am afraid to extract things into the right folders or do anything but use installers or by having an experienced user next to them.

For windows, with the exec+dll zip files I provide for windows, you just need to extract the zip into the EL data directory.  For the static Linux binary, just replace the existing one.  For Linux deb, snap and flatpak, just use the dev versions as its all done via normal updates.  In any case, I'll make some full packages soon.

Updated all the builds.  I've also added some Linux ARM builds.

Hi Joe, which settings in particular are you referring to?  Some examples:

• The questlog, counters, quickspells, and channel colours save per character by default.
• For item lists, right-click in the bottom (list) window and select "Use lists just for this character".
• For the notepad, right-click the "Save Notes" button and select "Use notepad just for this character".
• To enable saving character name / passwords for each character, you need to go to the options window, server tab and set the "Enable Password Manager" setting.
• To enable specific options per character in the options window, right-click the option description and set the "Manage value just for the character."

Note, the options per character in the options window is only available if you have "Use New Format To Save User Files (.json)" enabled.

Fix tab completion (there is also an updated commands.lst file).

 

Are all commands supposed to be on there?  If so, the #reset_res, #set_res xxxx yyyy, #save_res, and #show_res aren't there, and #quantity and #calc.

The list is just for server commands so that CTRL+SPACE can include them.  The client only #commands do not need to be in the file.

Is there a list of all available client commands?

There is this list, with recent updates: http://www.el-cel.com/info/command.php?Set=Text Commands

 

The full list of client based commands generated from the running client is this:

  accept_buddy afk alias aliases cache calc cast_spell change_pass 
  channel_colors chat_to_counters ckdata cls current_song date disco 
  disconnect emotes exit exp filter filters find glinfo help ignore 
  ignores jc keypress know knowledge lc "log conn data" mark 
  marker_color markpos mem msg open_url ping q quantity quit 
  reload_icons relogin reset_res save save_res session_counters set_res 
  show_res show_spell stats sto storage time unalias unfilter unignore 
  unmark update update_status url user_menu_wait_time_ms ver vers

Some of these are partially client based, partially server based.

 

I've been thinking about providing more help within the client for available commands.  Perhaps a list with a single line description.

[Aislinn]

Oh nice, thank you. I have never seen a fair number of these!

The item_extra_info.txt file isn't included in your first post.  (I don't like to edit others' posts unless it's something horrid lol)

It's not there because that file was included in the data package for the 1.9.5p7 release.  I do not think it has changed since then.

Somebody just installed the client today and that file was missing. No idea what they did or how but they couldn't get the equipment swap to work and after looking through my setup, found that file and he did not have it.

 

I'm wondering if the first post would be better to have "Files Needed" rather than "Files Changed"?  That's where people are going to get everything they need.

Do you know which version they installed? This thread is about the latest changes after the last release. 1.9.5p8 included the new data and this thread is what's changed since then. If that file was was not in the 1.9.5p8 client package, I messed up.

He got it from the first post in this thread and said Windows 64 bit so I guess this one:

Windows 64-bit executable and DLL files zip archive

OK. That zip is just the client executable and DLLs. It does not contain the data files. The assumption is that you install that file over the latest full release package. I thought I'd said that at the top of the thread but I have not so I'll make that change. The person is likely missing other data changes depending on what they previously installed.

[Aislinn]

Okay thank you, I'll pass that information on.

Please could you give more details.  Which file did you download?  What version were you previously running? If asked, did you let the package overwrite existing files?  Did you get a error pop-up window, if so what did it say?  Can you provide at least the last few files of the last log file?

I have just updated this.... from the build in post #1 - 64 bit windows. 

Selected overwrite - previous version was Eternal Lands Version 1.9.5-20200921.2338 from this thread about 3 months ago

 

Same outcome - select client and client closes.

Installed latest full release (1.9.5p8)  over the top - then client worked.

Double checked all additional files exist and correctly named.  

Installed this latest version

Same crash
