You used the words "no-invasion" in your first post.

You are talking about adding rules to the game, not locations to the maps. That's great you added that building in Ida cemetery but that shouldn't mean it MUST be now designated "safe" or a mod will get in trouble. This smacks to me of making "community rules" official. Mods already work their tails off running these things and they are not all just Dump and Run. I disagree that there aren't many hidden invasions. Many run simultaneously to a big dump elsewhere. There are contests with invaded mobs, sometimes only one or two in a building. Sometimes there are invisible rats and they can be anywhere, even storages, and everyone is still safe. If I remember correctly, there was a contest or two on a guild map that involved invaded mobs back in the day. I've seen roleplaying-style invasions that involved some of the places you listed. Isla Prima has had very very very easy small invasions and even had a dragon capped at 1 or something silly for entertainment purposes for the newbies. Everyone is aware that I afk (and others as well) in all manner of places. Thank you for outing that hidey spot. And yes, I have been hit with an invasion mob put in a house before. But that is our choice and our risk. It's not like we have no other option (such as logging out). And I would bet my character that even if this was to take effect in its entirety as you suggested here, we still would have people who did not log in/out or afk in one of these safe spaces and we'd be no "better" off than before we started, except now we've managed to make EL even more restrictive and have now turned away the people who dedicate their time to making creative fun for players. EL was a game designed with risk. It is not a "safe place at all times" type of game. I am not saying I don't think there shouldn't be any official safe spaces but there should be just a few.

I support "a handful" of official safe places (and having them marked on your maps) but in my opinion this suggestion is too extensive and restrictive. If that makes my motives Questionable™, so be it.

I did that and nothing came up.

Possibly it's a driver issue. This problem has popped up here before and that was the issue.

Found it, it was a b class ban from 2013 and you got caught up in it. I unbanned it and you should be good to go!

I don't have logs that early, I think the earliest I can go back to is somewhere in 2006. We did lose all accounts mid-summer 2004, and everyone had to remake them. Accounts are not deleted for inactivity unless they are completely unleveled. Even then, those purges are far and few between. If you did play it and got levels on it, and it was after 2004, it should still exist. I checked the names in your second post and there are no characters with those names. http://www.eternal-lands.com/view_user.php?user=Christopher95 What you can do is use that link and replace Christopher95 with any other name you might recall and see if it exists. If it does, a page will show up with your stats. If it doesn't exist, it will be blank like this page. Either way, of course you are more than welcome to create a new character. The game has changed a lot since then and it's a lot easier and faster to level up from the beginning. You can visit the Newbie Tutorial npc right near where you'd log in, and there are skill "dailies" you can do every day to gain more experience/levels.

I'm seeing no failed attempts to log in by you. Are you posting here from your android phone now? (Looking to see what IP you are having problems with as I see you have logged in from multiple IPs.) Also, what character did you try to log in with? I see no failed attempts by AppleJoy.

I don't see any characters existing for any of those three names, nor do they ring a bell with me (I've been here since late 2003). Could you possibly remember if you were in a guild (and if so, what one?) or some other names that you recall associating with? We definitely would be able to poke around the logs for 2010 (and some years prior to that as well) but there is nothing for those exact names, nor anything with Reichelt in it.

LINUX COMPILING (assumes current updated libs, and installation of glew, make, cmake, boost, glm, git, and gdb) Update January 2, 2020: Also please install the following libs for the sdl2 porting. Nothing else will change. libsdl2-dev (sdl2 in Arch Linux) libsdl2-net-dev (sdl2_net in Arch) libsdl2-image-dev (sdl2_image in Arch) Current Official Client [sb@precision330 ~]$ git clone git://github.com/raduprv/Eternal-Lands.git [sb@precision330 ~]$ cd Eternal-Lands [sb@precision330 Eternal-Lands]$ make -f Makefile.linux End result in your terminal should look something like this: CXX engine/hardwarebuffer.o LINK el.x86.linux.bin [sb@precision330 Eternal-Lands]$ Pastebin file of everything as it spits out in my terminal: http://pastebin.com/ZXumkk6z Copy el.x86.linux.bin over into your el_linux directory. If it is not executable already (which it should be), make it executable: [sb@precision330 el_linux]$ chmod 755 el.x86.linux.bin Opengl2 Testing Client [sb@precision330 ~]$ git clone git://github.com/xaphier/Eternal-Lands.git [sb@precision330 ~]$ cd Eternal-Lands [sb@precision330 Eternal-Lands]$ cmake ./ [sb@precision330 Eternal-Lands]$ make End result in your terminal should look something like this: Linking CXX executable el_client [100%] Built target el_client [sb@precision330 Eternal-Lands]$ <No pastebin file currently as I can get the client to compile but it's not working right so I don't want to post something not working well.> Copy el_client over into your el_linux directory. If it is not executable already (which it should be), make it executable: [sb@precision330 el_linux]$ chmod 755 el_client Copy shaders directory to /path/to/el_linux/shaders (this only applies for the opengl2 test client) Additional tricks: If you need to run or are asked to run your client with dbg (debugging tool), here's how to: [sb@precision330 ~]$ cd el_linux [sb@precision330 el_linux]$ gdb el_client <gdb info spits out at you here and when it finishes type run after it says (gdb)> (gdb) run <stuff spits out here too and when it finishes, type bt full after it says (gdb)> (gdb) bt full <more stuff spits out> If you want to connect the client to the test server, you can do a (gdb) run test Important Notes: 1. Notice the two different github addresses you are pulling from (one raduprv and one xaphier) distinguishing which is current client and which is opengl2. 2. However, notice both get dumped into a directory called Eternal-Lands. This is the default but this is not good. If you are compiling BOTH versions, you need to keep them separated. To do this, you can set an extra parameter in your gitclone command to create better named directories like these: [sb@precision330 ~]$ git clone git://github.com/raduprv/Eternal-Lands.git EL-official and [sb@precision330 ~]$ git clone git://github.com/xaphier/Eternal-Lands.git opengl2-client That way, your files will go to the newly created EL-official and opengl2-client directories rather than an Eternal-Lands directory. (You can choose for yourself what you want to name these directories.) Then the next time you need to update, you just $cd into the directories you created and you can just compile or gitpull from there. 3. If you already have a version of the code from github, you can update it (versus deleting it and starting over as above) by running: [sb@precision330 ~]$ cd EL-official [sb@precision330 EL-official]$ git pull (instead of the whole $ git clone git://github.com/.../Eternal-Lands.git) As always, many thanks to Sir_Odie and bluap for their help and patience.

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

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

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.

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)

This character was locked and banned in January 2017, along with many other characters (same person), after spending a good year spamming public channels with obscenities, game bashing, and other nuisance (understatement) behavior. I'm not seeing how you could possibly have had any access after this happened. I don't even see you trying to log in to this character from this IP. I only see you trying to log on to Dark_Ghost, hatred, and pysio. The last time somebody tried to log in to Ataala was in 2017. Are you trying to get this character back for somebody else?

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

Is there a list of all available client commands?

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.

Just a heads up the IP has already been unbanned for you.

I can unban it but here's the problem: the first time you get your passwords mixed up or make a typo again, the server will automatically ban you yet again. Are you using one of bluap's clients that has the password manager? I'd recommend setting that up first. I'm not going to be here 24/7 to go into the server to unban you every time it happens.

So what I see is you've been playing on a different IP since 2019, and this is a "new" IP you are coming back to.

Found the problem. The server automatically banned you due to too many password failures.

Hi there. I see no failed attempts by Ubbie. I also see you have quite a few characters so either you are not reaching the server at all or you tried to log on to a different character. Would it be the same IP you are posting here in forums from, or a different one?
