Entropy Report post Posted June 14, 2007 Given the fact that you don't use an official client: http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/index.p...howtopic=34893# , we can't help you. Please download and use the official client. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Entropy Report post Posted June 14, 2007 By official client, I also mean the official files that come with it. You clearly do NOT have the official maps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Torg Report post Posted June 15, 2007 like the CEL maps? Install those *only* after having tested a fresh install and confirmed it works correctly, and making a backup of your maps directory so you don't create the same problem again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zipher Report post Posted June 15, 2007 well then i SHOULD have the offical client... becasue i only have CEl maps.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torg Report post Posted June 16, 2007 well then i SHOULD have the offical client... becasue i only have CEl maps.. Yes, but if you copied your old maps directory over your new one then your maps will be broken because you will have overwritten the wrong files. Therefore you don't have an "official" client. If you want to copy your tab maps you must be very careful to only copy the .bmp files! .elm files are the EL maps and they do change between updates. If you have the wrong .elm files you can be banned from the forums or even the game in extreme circumstances. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zipher Report post Posted June 16, 2007 well didnt copy them over i re-downloaded them so therefore i have the offical client Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Learner Report post Posted June 16, 2007 well didnt copy them over i re-downloaded them so therefore i have the offical client If you are using CEL maps with the official client ... you are no longer using the official client. The CEL maps are an unofficial addition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bkc56 Report post Posted June 16, 2007 well then you should have better "offical" maps then we wouldnt have this problem and how could differnt maps affect rain...i eman that dosnt make sence... This thread isn't isn't about any actual cause/effect relationship and if having bad maps can have any effect on the original problem (acid rain). It's about policy. The devs don't have the time to try and figure out what changes would or would not effect some particular bug. So it's policy - only report bugs with the official client. Since the thread Entropy referenced indicated that you had map problems that pointed to having the wrong map files in place, the policy was invoked. In fact, special .bmp files probably won't have any effects on the client, but a poor installation of them WILL. And the devs don't have the time to debug your installation. So, non-standard client (including all support files) - no help with reported bugs. [Devs, if I miss-stated the situation, please correct me for everyone's education.] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zipher Report post Posted June 16, 2007 so just about every dosnt have the "offical client"?? so just about every dosnt have the "offical client"?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bkc56 Report post Posted June 16, 2007 (edited) so just about every dosnt have the "offical client"?? I'd guess that most people DO have the official client. I don't think the custom guild maps are that widely used (when you look at the EL population as a whole). Remember that many people aren't comfortable with downloading and unpacking files into a directory to modify a program (many people aren't even comfortable with a basic file change to get to the test server).
