I've updated all the builds including the earlier published windows build (to include commits that were done for TT fonts while I was building). The version will be 1.9.5-20210405.15MM (the minutes vary). I've updated the first post.

Version 1.9.5p8 of the EL client is ready for release. This release brings Windows, MacOS and Linux versions in-line and fixes a small number of bugs. The data package is unchanged from p7. The full list of changes can be read on the release page. MacOS: MacOS package (from Ben) Windows options: Windows 7-10 32-Bit installer Windows 7-10 64-Bit installer Windows 7-10 32-Bit executable and DLL files Windows 7-10 64-Bit executable and DLL files Linux options: Flatpak Package (recommended) Snap Package Debian and Ubuntu Packages Linux general installer Linux 32-bit executable Linux 64 bit executable Data Files: Data Files Sound Files Music Files Please always back up your personal files, not just for this update.

The #quantity command is not in this version, you need the current development version.

Change committed and windows builds updated. This rolls us forward to the latest git so I'll build the other packages too and update the top post with the full list of changes. One change you'll notice if you are using the True Type fonts, is that your selection will have been reset. This is an unfortunate side effects of changes that have been made so we can ship some nice fonts with the next point release.

OK, I found the problem and its a one line fix which I'd commit now and build updated packages. Thanks for all the debugging, noticing the link to the user menus was the key. The details: There was a change in the file finding functions on windows recently which changed the file handle size. These functions are only used on windows. This exposed a bug in EL which was not using the proper type definition. I fixed this a few weeks ago elsewhere in the client but did not think to check for other usage. As I don't play on windows, I did not have the user menus enabled so didn't notice the bug was there too.

I can't reproduce this problem. I've tried installing the update on top of a clean 1.9.5p8 install on my dev virtual machine environment and an old PC. @shadowgate if you still having issues with your own build, perhaps you could try running the client using the debugger and finding out were the crash is happening? Apologies if you already know this but.... From the msys terminal... First, use pacman to install the debugger "pacman -S gdb". Changed to the install directory for the client "cd <the path>" and run the debugger "gdb el.exe". At the "(gdb)" prompt, type "run". If and when the client crashes, type "where" at the (gdb) prompt and please post the output here. Thanks.

Is it actually working for anyone other than me? I'll try on another machine and see what I can find.

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 still not tracked down anything to help with the crashing issue. For those experiences crashes, you could try switching off "use_compiled_vertex_array" as apparently that can cause issues on other platforms even if it is supported. There's a app called "OpenGL ES Extensions" by "Realtech VR" that gives you information about your devices GL support. This could help us identify the differences. The app contains ads and I cannot vouch for its its safety. It does only require limited privileges though. My main device that appears to work fine has a "PowerVR GX6250" graphics card, I'll try to extract more information. Anyway, I have a new build with the latest changes available at the normal link. Version el-1.9.5-20210223.2156

That's the function used in the android client. There's a new version that improved the text entry. Taping an input field opens the keyboard. In game window and console mode long pressing the input areas opens the keyboard. In full console mode you can also swipe right to open the keyboard. The new client puts the input field at the top of the screen and does not write over the console text.

Looks very similar to other people having video issues unrelated to EL: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=horizontal+green+lines Suggested cause include faulty monitors, cables, drivers and graphic cards.

I've added validation checking to the #change_pass command before sending it to the server. This is now consistent validation for the login screen, new character screen, #change_pass and the password manager. I have also include help if #change_pass fails about the valid format. While doing these changes I noticed the login screen was not producing an error message if you were disconnected from the server; it now does produce a message.

If you put a space in you new password, the actual new password will be the bit before the space I suspect. If you use the password manager, there is a bug though because the new password is not saved if there is a space. I'll look at fixing that. A space is not a valid character for an EL password and you cannot enter a space at the login screen or new character screen. There should be no freeze. You should be getting a red error message on-screen because the password is incorrect.

Excellent again. Very interesting to see the new content too.

Updated all the builds 1.9.5-20210317.HHMM. See updated change log at the top of the topic.

I'll do some builds that include this change in the next day day or so.

It's gone.

The nlohmann_json dependency is now included in the source but you now need to install the libsdl2-ttf-dev package. The data files are includes as assets for github releases. https://github.com/raduprv/Eternal-Lands/releases You may have to look to previous release assets depending on when the files were last changed. I've updated the previous post.

Looks like the gamma is only set on start up and when you toggle the option on. I'll take a look at re-applying it when the client gains focus again but until then, you could try turning the option off then on again.

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.

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.

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. https://github.com/raduprv/Eternal-Lands/releases/download/1.9.5.7/el_195_p7_data_files.zip

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.

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.

Updated all the builds 1.9.5-20210228.HHMM. See updated change log at the top of the topic.
