Just wondering...

[Merrick]

When I start my client it says the things that are found/not found and using/not using...

 

Mine says:

 

GL_ARBmultitexture extension found, using it.

GL_EXTcompiled_vertex_array extension found, using it.

Couldn't find the GL_*_point_sprite extension, not using it...

GL_ARB_texture_compression extension found, using it.

GL_EXT_texture_compression_s3tc extension found, using it.

GL_SGIS_generate_mipmap extension found, NOT using it...

Shadowmapping disabled (need newer hardware)

GL_ARB_vertex_program extension found, NOT using it...

 

 

What does any of this mean?

 

Anyone know?

[Brom]

There are settings in el.ini to enable those, You can alternatively use the settings button in game then select "Save INI" and it will save those settings.

 

Couldn't find the GL_*_point_sprite extension, not using it...

Im not sure what this one is. But the rest are fairly understandable.

[Placid]

They are graphic extensions that your GPU (Graphics card) implements. Different features that the card is capable of.

[Merrick]

Is that why I can't log on?

 

This is bad! Now I know I'm addicted.

 

I just wanna see the new update.

It shouldn't be causing you to not be able to login... No shadowmapping and no mipmaps is about all that's saying.

 

Derin: Point particles.

My error log says this:

 

Log started at 2005-09-13 19:20:05

 

Error: Can't open file "./textures/fontv.bmp"

 

No Anim: ./animations/player_slash1.caf

 

(No Anim: ./animations/player_slash1.caf was repeated at least 500 times.)

No Anim: ./animations/canine_pain.caf

Error: Can't open file "./textures/particle6.bmp"

 

Error: Can't open file "./textures/particle7.bmp"

 

Error: Can't open file "quest.log"

 

Don't know if this will narrow the problem any.

 

:mellow:

 

Also, here is my video card:

 

Intel® 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV Graphics Controller

Again, from other post. I have an 'identical' machine to Merricks and it works fine here. Perhaps another program is interfering?

[Minion]

Virus Software on?

 

Windows Firewall on?

 

Visually confirm the files it says are missing?

(PS. Sent you the textures directory)

[Merrick]

Okay, I disabled my personal firewall (Sygate)

I disabled Windows Firewall.

And I disabled my antivirus (AVG Grisoft)

still, no luck.

 

As for the files:

 

Error: Can't open file "./textures/fontv.bmp"

This one isn't there^ (atleast I didn't see it)

 

No Anim: ./animations/player_slash1.caf

It's there ^

 

No Anim: ./animations/canine_pain.caf

It's there^

 

Error: Can't open file "./textures/particle5.bmp"}

 

Error: Can't open file "./textures/particle6.bmp"}--->These are not there

 

Error: Can't open file "./textures/particle7.bmp"}

 

The quest log is not there, but I saved my old one.

Same for the chat log. (It didn't mention that though)

 

*Pulling hair out*

 

I've replaced my texture and animation files with yours (Minion). But no luck.

 

I've also tried putting the actual internet address for the server in my el.ini file. No luck there either.

ANimations should be in your hands

[Merrick]

Well, I'm all out of ideas.

 

I just got my new draegoni charater too.

 

If anyone figures out what's going on, I'd love to hear it.

 

Thanks to everyone who's tried to help me

look there

at my post at the bottom so far it has fixed 3 peoples loging problems

[Merrick]

Okay, I tried what you said, Ember. But, still no luck.

 

Infact, I erased the error log and tried to log in and still got the errors:

 

 

Log started at 2005-09-13 23:40:33

 

Error: Can't open file "./textures/fontv.bmp"

 

No Anim: ./animations/player_slash1.caf <---Still about 500 times

 

Error: Can't open file "quest.log"

Are all the people have these missing file errors Windows user?

 

Minion

[Ruthgar]

yes

[Merrick]

Down to two errors:

 

Log started at 2005-09-14 00:10:03

 

Error: Can't open file "./textures/fontv.bmp"

 

Error: Can't open file "quest.log"

 

Don't know what else to do.

 

Atleast my error log is down to 1kb per log now vs. 45kb per log

 

Still unable to log in.

 

It's late and as stubborn as I am, I'll give up for tonight and give it a fresh look tomorrow.

 

Thanks guys/gals ^_^

[Merrick]

So, I couldn't sleep till I solved the problem. <_< (did I mention being stubborn?)

 

I went to windows update and found that I couldn't even do that.

I've been trying to use my MSN Messenger all day, couldn't do that either.

 

Anyways...someone *Looks all innocent* did something unknown to cause this.

I did a system restore to a prior restoration point and voila!

 

Yay! Sorry for waisting space on this forum and others' time on my own mistakes.

 

Now I'll be up for another hour, atleast, trying to check everything out! teehee

Just about to have to get onsite computer support in gear!

 

Of course I fix things with my primary tool ... a hammer.

 

Welcome back into the game Merrick!
