Entropy

Please test the test server

Recommended Posts

1. Make a copy of your el directory

2. Get the patch from here: http://www.eternal-lands.com/test_update.zip and unzip it in the copy el folder, in such way so that it will overwrite files. If it doesn't overwrite anything it means you suck at unzipping.

3. Edit el.ini and replace the port address, from 2000 to 2001

4. Start the NEW client, and then log in or create a new character.

 

When I will be there I will give people a few million gold coins so they can buy the new items and test them (they are, for the time being, very untested).

If you find bugs or exploits, you might want to report them here, because if any exploit is found after we update the main server, there will be rollbacks.

When I will be there ...

Can you give us some idea when that will be (with time-zone)? I updated and logged in, but there was no one around (talk about empty...).

Ok here are the minor ones I have found so far first:

 

TAB MAPS:

Morcraven doesn't have the storage marked.

Naralik doesn't have the bookseller marked

Grubani doesn't have the bookseller marked.

Desert Pines still has Aluwen's old temple marked.

 

 

And now for the...BIG...bug :icon13:

 

OMGDEER.jpg

 

Yes...this giant deer almost stepped on me. Bears are extra big too.

A few more minor things:

 

The portraits for Enriched Life Essences, Potions of Extra Mana, Potion of Greater Healing, Crafting Potion, and Magic Potion still haven't been set.

 

Fixed the deer bug..I redownloaded EL to a new folder and it was fixed.

 

Storage not marked in Idaloran.

Is there a linux client to test this against?

For me, everything seems great but I didn't test everything to great depth as Lord_Vermor. I mainly tested for map bugs and to see if perks were working, cloaks, etc.. I love the new maps. I also LOVE the new price to the second continent. 100 gc to go if you are not anti and 250 gc to go if you are anti. Maybe I'll be a little less poor now. BTW, hellspawn is working great and the underworld never looked better, lol. :icon13:

When you go into Portia's Potion School (Portland 274, 268), you are under the floor and the only way out is to beam out.

lots of flowers in Mynadar are wrong or just not harvestable. Lilacs at 62,28 and 43.74 are Red Snapdragons when you pick them. Blue Star Flowers at 59,73 are Red Roses. Red snaps at 149,122 are Lilacs. Blue Lupines at 138,124 are Lilacs. Blue Lupines at 115,65 are red Snapdragons. Tiger Lilies at 143,134 are not pickable. Lilacs at 111,89, 134.67 and 86,34 are also not pickable.

I think you downloaded something wrong (no idea what though). I haven't tried them all, but the flowers have just changed. The lilacs at 43.74 just ARE red snaps now, same thing with the BSF at 59.73: looks like red rose, IS red rose. No idea though what files cause this, at least no problems here for me.

 

Other example: the Tiger Lilies at 143,134 are Valerian now :D

 

Things I did encounter so far:

 

When I logged in (in PL storage) I got 'Too many sounds' 5 times in a row. Same thing happens when I enter other PL insides (I toggled Audio off to get rid of it now)

 

Maybe it's meant to be, but could it be the bags have become smaller? With both cyc and ogre I wasn't able to see and pick up bags over the bodies.

 

The notices about the PK area in PV tunnels are still kinda off (when you enter it, warning is ok. No warning from other sides, and then when you *leave* that first part again, I got the notice that I entered a pk area where I think that's when you leave it).

 

Kusamura insides Sunken House (18.16): I can't get out.

A LOT of harvestables got changed around and some won't be harvestable anymore. That is not a bug. Are you comparing them to what was before and you have them marked on your map?

Hmm, I can't even get it to run with the linux cvs client...

I did what you said, copied the cvs client into my folder and started it.

It all went fine till I said "create character"... it started to load but instead of displaying the game screen, it crahsed.

 

Here's the strace:

 

open("/home/......./.elc/newcharactermap.elm.txt", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

write(5, "To customize your character and "..., 87) = 87

ioctl(7, FIONREAD, [32]) = 0

read(7, "\5\1\352\0\2776\231\1\3\1\0\0\17\0@\0\0\0\0\0K\2k\1I\2"..., 32) = 32

select(8, [7], NULL, NULL, {0, 0}) = 0 (Timeout)

 

[...] last line repeated multiple times

EDIT:

found that in the difference between the "normal" strace and the strace of the update:

 

 

In file "strace_upd.txt":

------------------------------

1223: read(7, 0xbffff460, 32) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)

1224: select(8, [7], NULL, NULL, NULL) = 1 (in [7])

1225: read(7, "\1\1\\\0\0\0\0\0\16\0\340\2\4\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\\t[\1\230z"..., 32) = 32

2.also this arena has only 2 tiles of entrance, wich can be easly blocked, and then Pkers cant run..(not a bug but..)

3.and you can #beam in the arena, hmm that might be a good solution for problem 2 >.>

I had one exit that just didn't work and one to a new map. Maybe you're missing new map files?

 

Else it could be the same no map problem as http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=21064. Do you know what exit it was?

But the Nomap thingy isn't really the solution in this case. You must have messed something with downloading the update, cause that exit actually leads to a new map (Emerald Valley) now :D
