icerogue

Ok i am trying to install el on a computer in the Physics club room at my university. I am having issues connecting to the server though. I did sucsessfully connect to the test server (port 2001) though. Any ideas?

yeah i have tried to get alsa and dmix working in past no luck can you point me in the right direction for this? EDIT:just did a search on my sys or openal and noticed that another game i used to play (before i got hooked here) americasarmy uses openal and yet i got sound fine from that game

YAY i am smart S-M-R-T

She took his picture and developed the film herself?

I suppose i could always pull out my laptop and try it on there, though i think the newest version of VS is 6.0 =/

Ok this is the complete strace for a short test, issue is it is getting a resorce busy. Btw it is interesting that i was able to run the bin this time, must be something i downloaded to compile the cvs [icerogue@Mr-Freeze Eternal Lands]$ strace -c ./el-130.x86.linux.bin ./el-130.x86.linux.bin: /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0: no version information available (required by ./el-130.x86.linux.bin) open /dev/[sound/]dsp: Device or resource busy open /dev/[sound/]dsp: Device or resource busy Process 30062 detached % time seconds usecs/call calls errors syscall ------ ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ---------------- 44.88 0.240350 1 196895 sched_yield 29.59 0.158434 16 10110 6 read 9.98 0.053456 3 18198 select 4.81 0.025784 5 5315 263 open 4.02 0.021502 1 15347 gettimeofday 1.86 0.009939 13 754 mmap2 1.52 0.008139 19 430 38 stat64 1.37 0.007360 1 5052 close 0.75 0.003999 333 12 futex 0.56 0.003013 2 1615 1 ioctl 0.49 0.002600 130 20 mprotect 0.12 0.000622 1 667 munmap 0.06 0.000309 1 449 brk 0.00 0.000000 0 116 write 0.00 0.000000 0 1 execve 0.00 0.000000 0 2 chdir 0.00 0.000000 0 32 time 0.00 0.000000 0 1 lseek 0.00 0.000000 0 7 1 access 0.00 0.000000 0 1 1 mkdir 0.00 0.000000 0 2 dup 0.00 0.000000 0 3 clone 0.00 0.000000 0 17 uname 0.00 0.000000 0 262 2 _llseek 0.00 0.000000 0 2 getdents 0.00 0.000000 0 5 readv 0.00 0.000000 0 17 writev 0.00 0.000000 0 1 _sysctl 0.00 0.000000 0 1 mremap 0.00 0.000000 0 8 poll 0.00 0.000000 0 14 rt_sigaction 0.00 0.000000 0 1 rt_sigprocmask 0.00 0.000000 0 1 getrlimit 0.00 0.000000 0 599 fstat64 0.00 0.000000 0 5 geteuid32 0.00 0.000000 0 20 fcntl64 0.00 0.000000 0 1 set_thread_area 0.00 0.000000 0 1 set_tid_address 0.00 0.000000 0 6 socket 0.00 0.000000 0 6 connect 0.00 0.000000 0 5 send 0.00 0.000000 0 1 sendto 0.00 0.000000 0 1 recvfrom 0.00 0.000000 0 4 shutdown 0.00 0.000000 0 1 setsockopt 0.00 0.000000 0 2 shmat 0.00 0.000000 0 1 shmdt ------ ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ---------------- 100.00 0.535507 256011 312 total EDIT: btw all i did here was fire up the client and go to the new char creation to test the sound

well the reason i use esd is that nothing else plays nicly, esd actually lets me listen to xmms (which i do almost 24/7) adn hear other stuff, like gaim and any other games i decide to play because the el server is down lol

Unfortunately I don't believe this tells you what they are harvesting, just that they are harvesting something. For an animation it would need to know the object being harvesting though. yeah i dont know what i was thinking, at best you could guess what they are harving by proximity. must be too long harvesting myself this session lol

Have you tired the static version thats included with the linux? In the release version, only the static worked, the other did not even open a window That means there is a hidden incompatibility in your libraries, which is why the static version is included. ummm ... any ideas where to start looking then?? and because it is prolly needed i am on FC5 and use ESD for my sound server

The Look at idea isnt a bad idea either, especially if the client is already receiving notice. I t would be kinda fun to go around and see what ppl are harving if more then one thing is in a close area. But yeah i think this post is more trying to make it easier to see that you are still harvesting and not just sitting there.

I agree though, a on screen notification that you are still harvesting would be a nice feture. There has been manny a time where i didnt see a msg saying i stopped (alot of pms or actuall convo in channels) and ended up sitting for a couple min waiting to see if my count incramented I think a animation would more just be wasted cpu cycles, but an icon either over your head or maybe in the same spot as the spell icons (lower right hand corner iirc) shouldnt be too har to implement. just my ideas

Ok speaking of sound issues, with the client that was released for linux (windows release with added linux bins) i got the error Error initializing sound: No Error i just compiled the cvs version and now get the error Error initializing sound: (null) Any ideas?

What type of system are you using adn what browser and so forth?

Yeah that is what i was agreeing with, just used wrong terminoligy.
