Running EL on SuSE 10.1 Linux

Recommended Posts

I am currently running SuSE 10.1 KDE and have switched from my Windows default. I have unzipped it into the folder /home/crypt1c/el aswell as edit the ElConfig.exe file to my extent. I have played EL since it first came out and wish to continue to play. I ran the static file, I get a black screen, and can see a small portion of a blue loading screen. Here is a screenshot of what I get here. It appears white in the picture but it is black on my display. I am new to Linux and if someone could help with this problem of mine I would be very grateful.

Your link is wrong :P

and linux doesn't use the .exe file.

You should have edited el.ini to set

#data_dir=/home/crypt1c/el

Note that the el.ini in the main folder is used only if ~/.elc/el.ini doesn't exist: ~/.elc/el.ini is created the first time you launch the game copying the default one,

so now you already have it: so go to ~/.elc/ (~ means your home dir: /home/crypt1c/ and the . at start of .elc means it's an hidden folder, so you must enable "show hidden files" in your file manager to see it) and edit the el.ini you find there

Okay, thanks very much :P I was using Wine to emulate the ElConfig but that I must ignore, so I edit the .ini ok. Thanks again :P

 

EDIT: I am new to Linux, I opened the File Manager and I cannot locate to show hidden files :S Where can I find it? I may have passed it...

 

EDIT2: Okay I found the Show Hidden Files, however it tells me that ~/.elc/ does not exist, or looking in the folder you specified...

Just start a shell (terminal/commandline or however you will call it), then type "cd .elc", then type "ls -l el.ini" and you should see it.

 

Hope, you are already familar with the vi, type then "vi el.ini" to edit it.

 

Or, using a file manager, you can just add /.elc to the shown URL, thats nothing more than the actual path. Then doubleclick el.ini to edit it.

I am able to edit the ELini file I found in /home/cryptic. However it is not hidden; it just shows the commands that I edited in /home/cryptic/el/EL1.33/el.ini at or something like that. I will try what you said tho, Teh Pip...

 

EDIT: Okay I typed the commands you gave me and it gives me these errors:

 

cryptic@linux-tbnh:~/el/Eternal Lands-1.33> cd .etc
bash: cd: .etc: No such file or directory
cryptic@linux-tbnh:~/el/Eternal Lands-1.33> Is -l el.ini
bash: Is: command not found
cryptic@linux-tbnh:~/el/Eternal Lands-1.33>

 

I tried is as a few combinations and nothing happened this is just cleaned up. I also did vi el.ini, yes I have used that before, it worked but I closed it because I didn't know if it was getting ahead of soemthing I should do first.

Under linux, the first time you run EL, it will create a .elc directory and copy your el.ini file there. so you do need to look for that file in the hidden directory to make changes. Any changes made in the install dirs el.ini will not affect anyone who has run EL already.

Maybe I have, but, I cannot officially 'run' EL because a giant black menu with a blue loading bar vanishes instantly. I looked under the folder of Show Hidden Files and still saw nothing, as well as typing in the commands he showed. Is there a special step I must take to 'install' EL? I downloaded it to my desktop and extracted it to the location I have posted. I do not know linux very well. If there is a way to officially 'install' it that'd be nice info xD

 

EDIT: OKAY!! Problem solved. On my SuSE KDE 10.1 I am unable to change my resolution from 1600x1200 for some reason and .elc looked like .etc, so that is what I searched for. I found the directory .ELC and I am fine. I will edit it accordginly. Thanks all :D Will post if have any more problems.

 

EDIT2: Okay I have edited .elc accordingly and still get the flashing menu that vanishes instantly.. I have done everything stated in this post, dunno what to do now :(

 

EDIT3: Regarding ^ I have edited /home/cryptic/.elc/el.ini and it still comesup as a black sreen with a blue little bar and closes immediately afterwards...

- How do you launch the game?

- post again where you installed the game and the line #data_dir=... in your ~/.elc/el.ini

- do you have permission of reading the files in EL folder?

Before I post that, is there another way to install the game? As stated before i'm quite new to Linux and there was no valid looking 'installer' rpm or any file like that to be executed in the terminal. If there is, that's my problem. I launch the game by running the static file :S, and my #data_dir=/home/cryptic/el/Eternal Lands-1.33. As for permissions.... Yeah. It appears I am able to read and modify content..

Doh! that's the problem: you did put a space in the path...

rename the folder to Eternal_Lands-1.33 (with an underscore) and change the el.ini too; hopefully should work

 

[using quotes should work too: #data_dir="/home/cryptic/el/Eternal Lands-1.33" you could try that if you want]

Still isn't working. I get the same flash of the page and it vanishes. If possible, could you write a step by step instruction from download to install? That way I can double check what I did according to what should be done.

1) download the game

2) extract the files (doesn't matter where, choose a folder is good for you)

3) check the path to where you have the files, a good one would be /home/cryptic/elc/ for example

4) edit the el.ini in /home/cryptic/elc/ setting #data_dir=/home/cryptic/elc/

5) delete totally the folder /home/cryptic/.elc/ (note the . this is the hidden folder)

6) open a terminal (in KDE it's Menu K -> System -> Konsole iirc)

7) type cd /home/cryptic/elc/

8) type ./el-133.x86.linux.static to launch the game (I typed the filename by memory, could be a bit wrong)

9) post the errors log if you still have problems

10) I forgot, you could get some errors in the terminal: post them too (to copy from terminal, you can't use ctrl+c: use the menus instead edit -> copy)

 

Assuming you did everything right (and if you don't have anything rilevant in the error log, the problem could be related to your video card, if so try doing a search and read the pinned topics)

All right thanks. I have been playing EL forever on this same video card, however that was on Windows XP. I have had to use Linux on an old harddrive from my basement in my old Pentium 3 Processor. It is 6.4 GB XD! So for now i'm stuck playing EL ;D. I will get to that now.

Okay! It works! Thank you very much Theryndan :P

 

EDIT: However my framerate is capping about 4, whereas on my Windows I would get about 133 :S

Not to make things more complicated......and congratulations on getting it working.....but with a framerate drop from 133 to 4.... I would guess your 3d acceleration isn't set up quite right. You should be able to get the same or even slightly better framerates depending on your card/drivers etc.

If you open a terminal and type as root "glxinfo | grep render" it will tell you if direct rendering is on/off.

If it is off...and I am guessing that it is... there is a good walkthrough on www.linuxquestions.org, just search enabling DRI or hardware acceleration, etc and the post should be easy to find.

NVIDIA's driver installer should take care of the 3d acceleration. Make sure to install them.

 

(If you're not running an Nvidia video card... you're a silly one, you are, but I would assume ATi's does as well.)

Actually I am running an Intel Chipset for the next 3 days until I get my new computer that I am building(w00t) then I willl be using dual NVidia GeForce 7600 GTs. And it will be alll better. I fixed the 3D acceleration problem and everything's fine now.
