Download Eternal Lands Game
Before downloading and playing the game:
• PLEASE READ THE LICENSE. - Playing the game means that you agreed with all the stuff there. The license is written in plain english, not in lawyers language, so it should be easily understood.
• GAME INTERFACE
• GAME COMMANDS
• GAME MANUAL
Most of the information contained in the above links is pretty important and will help you start the game easier.
• Also, please make sure you have a harware accelerated video card, with at least 32 MB of video memory, that supports at least OpenGL 1.2 natively. Voodoo 1&2 cards won't work.
Some of the video cards that work properly are TNT 2 and higher (GF,GF2&3&4), and the ATI Radeon cards. Some SiS, Voodoo 3, Intel and S3 Twister cards are also OK, but don't expect more than 15 FPS if you have one of those.
• If your computer is older than 5 years, and you don't have one of the aforementioned video cards, don't download the game, most likely it won't work on your computer.
Sound:
The sound is an optional package of 40MB. It is the same for all operating systems.
After you finished downloading it you will need to unzip it into the directory/folder where you installed the game, in such a way so that you will have a /sound directory in there.
Example for windows the directory should look like: C:\Program Files\Eternal Lands\sound\
The sound is disabled by default in the client, so after you downloaded and installed the sound, you will have to go in the Options window of the game and enable the sound.
You can download the sound package from here:
el_sound_150.zip
To play on Windows:
Download the game, then simply double click on el_180_install.exe
To download the Windows version (38 MB), please chose one of the available mirrors (it doesn't matter which one). If your download speed is too low, you can try a different mirror.
French Mirror
UK Mirror
Germany Mirror
To play on Macintosh:
Download the client from here or from here and open the el_osx_180a_snd.dmg file.
You will find the EternalLands application and the ChooseELServer application. Copy them both to the same folder (e.g. home/Games/).
Launch ChooseELServer and play on Main, Test or Pk server with a single click. Enjoy!
If the game crashes, edit the file el.ini and look for the line: "#use_animation_program= 1". Replace 1 with 0, and start the game again.
For Ubuntu, try this link. If for some reason that doesn't work, try the generic instructions.
To play on Linux (generic distro):
Download the zip file, and unzip it.
cd to the directory where you installed it.
There are 3 .bin files, two for 32b and the other for 64b. The 32b binaries are el.x86.linux.bin and el.x86.linux.alt.bin The 64b client should run on all 64b systems, but the 32b binaries might not, so if one doesn't work, try the other. el.x86.linux.bin needs libpng3, so make sure to install it if you don't have it. chmod the desired binary to 775, and execute it.
Edit el.ini and change datadir to where you unzip everything
The default base directory is called el_linux, and you might want to rename it to something else.
To play under FreeBSD, download the Linux version, download the code from the CVS, and use the freebsd make file.
