bkc56 Report post Posted November 27, 2007 (edited) How do I get to the test server? I couldn't work out how. You need to copy/paste the EL shortcut (so you have a second one), edit it (right-click, properties), and change the Target to read (with the quotes and all): "C:\Program Files\Eternal Lands\el.exe" test Eeeek, to slow...

Guest Doctor_Who Report post Posted November 27, 2007 (edited) I hope this is the right place to post this but Im having a problem where as soon as I log into EL it shuts down saying that it preformed an illegal error... when I first installed the new update it was just fine for a couple hours but not so any more. When I check the error log it says: [11:52:22] Error: Can't open file "quest.log" [11:52:22] * server www.eternal-lands.com filename http://www.eternal-lands.com/updates150/files.lst [11:52:22] Downloading http://www.eternal-lands.com/updates150/files.lst from www.eternal-lands.com [11:52:22] Error opening sound configuration file [11:52:23] Finished downloading http://www.eternal-lands.com/updates150/files.lst [11:52:41] Error: Can't open file "spells_doctor_who.dat" Before when my mum was trying to get on it would say: [10:41:40] Error: Can't open file "quest.log" [10:41:40] * server www.eternal-lands.com filename http://www.eternal-lands.com/updates150/files.lst [10:41:40] Downloading http://www.eternal-lands.com/updates150/files.lst from www.eternal-lands.com [10:41:41] Error opening sound configuration file [10:41:42] Finished downloading http://www.eternal-lands.com/updates150/files.lst [10:42:08] Client closed Any ideas on how to fix it? Thanks for your time P.S. I also tried to uninstall and reinstall it all, but to no avail. Edited November 27, 2007 by Doctor_Who Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

larrystorch Report post Posted November 27, 2007 Runs fine, only 1 problem i noticed so far: [15:03:36] Warning: Didn't find your data_dir, using the current directory instead. Please correct this in your el.ini . Given data_dir was: "H:\Eternal Lands\" Is the space in the data_dir causing a prob? Because the path is all right... That's a possibility. You can try and escape the white space "H:\Eternal/ Lands\" or however Windows does it. Is your "H" drive a network drive? I had that problem at work when I was looking for where EL saved my user files. My user directory at work is a network drive named "X", but EL resolved it to "\\fileserver\users\" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vanyel Report post Posted November 27, 2007 Thanks for clear pieces of instruction on how to install the new client. Worked smoothly (including sound). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Entropy Report post Posted November 27, 2007 @Doctor_Who The problem might be with your video card. If you have the latest drivers, try to enable poor_man in el.ini Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Golemer Report post Posted November 28, 2007 (edited) I am still trying to figure out how to get my el to work and the errors that stand out the most mto me are these [20:35:08] Error: Server profile not found in servers.lst for server: Lands\el.exe". Failover to server: main. [20:35:08] Using the server profile: main [20:35:12] Error opening sound configuration file [20:36:13] Error: Can't open file "quest.log" [20:36:14] Could not load a channel list for language code [en]. Using the english set instead. [20:36:31] Error: Can't open file "./particles/moon_bubbles1.part" Last message repeated 3 times [20:36:32] Error: Can't open file "spells_golemer.dat" And pretty much the rest is still sound errors... so is there anyways to actually fix those problems yo see if those might possibly be causing my el to crash? Also in my el.ini folder it is saying server port 2001.. that is the test server but when I log on I can see bots posting in market right before it crashes so I know it's logging onto port 2000.. also I did a search on my computer for the moon_bubbles and my spells .dat and the search showed no results.. not sure if that helps at all... and last night I updated my graphics card and sound card and got a few other updates and nothing seems to help.. I want to wait and see if anyone knows how I may go about fixing those issues.. if not then it looks as if I will try reformatting my computer and reinstalling all the drivers.. maybe I missed a driver somewhere? I dunno.. >.< but it's aggravating I can't get on and give my 2 bots stuff to sell or get the stuff off the bots that they bought for me rofl.. all I can do is view them from Learners site.. xD New errors.. [21:36:43] Unable to add command 20 - 119 Last message repeated 1 time [21:36:43] Unable to add command 26 - 379 [21:36:43] Unable to add command 25 - 379 So.. I have decided to just attempt to reformat my computer and manually re install all the drivers so that way I know everything is working.. hope this works it takes roughly an hour to an hour and a half.. >.< Edited November 28, 2007 by Golemer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
