Saelf Report post Posted June 21, 2008 (edited) I've tried compile EL code from CVS so many times. The sun, clouds and stars never appear. I've copied all BMP files from "sky_cursor-textures.zip" to my_EL_DIR/textures/ downloaded from http://users.on.net/~gingerman/sky_cursor-textures.zip I want have sky and camera support into my Linux version of EL. What I'm doing wrong? The error_log file show me this: [00:36:51] unknown element for skybox: clouds_rain [00:36:51] unknown element for skybox: clouds_detail_rain [00:36:51] unknown element for skybox: fog_rain [00:36:51] unknown element for skybox: light_ambient_rain [00:36:51] unknown element for skybox: light_diffuse_rain [00:36:51] Error while loading the skybox definitions.

Saelf Report post Posted June 21, 2008 Ok, I've solved with this: I downloaded Windows Pre RC from this link: http://www.eternal-lands.com/el_pre_rc_26_06_08.exe Found at this forum post: http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/index.p...20test&st=0 Opened with Wine and unpacked at linux EL folder. Now my EL version has all files needed. There are another way to download this needed files? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torg Report post Posted June 21, 2008 I downloaded Windows Pre RC from this link:http://www.eternal-lands.com/el_pre_rc_26_06_08.exe Hmmm, it might be worth getting the one from the RC2 thread and comparing them. That is the RC1 thread and if you check the date, it is in 5 days time... o.O (the date was meant to be 26_05_08 I assume). Now my EL version has all files needed. There are another way to download this needed files? Not that I'm aware of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Torg Report post Posted June 21, 2008 Hum... I compiled the bin file from source...But where I download the last data files then? Sorry, not running Windows I haven't bothered with the RC's (I'm also busy working on the sound code) so I'm not aware of if either have or don't have the data files with the bin. Basically, it was a guess. By "comparing them", I meant the contents of both EXE's to check if there were any different client files added in RC2. If there are no client files in RC2 then assume the ones in RC1 are correct. Ent normally doesn't provide separate data file archives for us Linux/Mac users, he assumes we can all get them from the EXE's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Entropy Report post Posted June 21, 2008 I think I did provide a zip file a while ago, but I forgot the thread or the URL. Anyway, wine should have no issues extracting the files, no? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saelf Report post Posted July 4, 2008 I think I did provide a zip file a while ago, but I forgot the thread or the URL.Anyway, wine should have no issues extracting the files, no? Well, extract from wine is not problem. :-) But how can I compile always the last release (for some tests, for example) and have the data files for new things at my pc? For example, somebody is making a new water who uses some new data files. The new water is experimental, and do not exists RC for Windows. I get EL from source code and compile with the support, where I get the new data files? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I get EL from source code and compile with the support, where I get the new data files? Forgive me if I've misunderstood your question. You can keep your source code up to date by using the CVS command "cvs update -d" in the elc directory. The current RC version is compiled, I understand, with the default options from make.defaults plus SKY_FPV, NEW_WEATHER and MINIMAP2; just uncomment these options and re-compile the client. When developers add features that require new data files, the files are normally made available for download. The programming forum threads related to the feature are the best place to get these files normally. When we get near a new release and Entropy produces a RC version, all the new data files are provided in one download. This is normally a zip exe but as you have found, being resourceful Linux users we can extract these files using wine. You may have seen my forum posts about Debian/Ubuntu packages. I have produced RC versions of these packages and intention to keep them up to date with other RC versions. If you don't use one of those distros or don't want to use my packages, the data files used by the packages are available here.
