!!!WARNING!!!

Make a backup of this file, before messing with it. In case it gets corrupted, the game might

not start at all, etc.  ( <= I think thats my problem)



Login settings:



#server_address = game.eternal-lands.com

#server_port = 2000 

 

Why cant I connect to EL ?

 

needtoknow@laptop-laptop:~$ telnet game.eternal-lands.com 2000

Trying 62.93.225.47...

Connected to game.eternal-lands.com.

Again this morning I tried it, I even installed a fresh copy of EL in another directory.

I made sure the data dir was correct. Then when I ran it....

If you are on linux, the el.ini that you need to edit is in /home/username/.elc/ not the one in EL installation folder;

try to put this in the el.ini (remove the # from the other #server_address line)

 

#server_address = 62.93.225.47

It didnt have to do with the dns it had to do with the config in .elc

it was set to port 200 anyways I think el.cfg should be in the data dir of el

it would be nice

 

 

Oh and thanks so much.

No, it shouldn't, because that would require that every user must have write permissions to the data directory of EL, instead of just to their home folder (and subdirectories).

It should be like this:

 

first, the client looks for el.ini in the current directory

2nd, in ~./elc

3rd, in the data directory

 

So you could have a local environment for every user (if thats wanted) to test things like test/prod server or whatever, with local el.ini's somewhere. Plus a *global* one for every user in ~./elc and finally, the default one in the data directory.

 

But that becomes then a little bit offtopic for help me forum

 

Good to hear, that Patrick found that stupid port 200 and is back in game

 

If you want to suggest something about that, use the suggestions forum plz.

 

Happy gaming
