In this world full of spam service providers do their best to fight against spammers. Some take it to the extremes where they accept emails from a limited number of senders only. Apparently neither fragnetics.com nor hydlaaplaza.com belong to the list of trusted senders for your service provider.

Tremulous is also based on the GPL Quake 3 engine : http://tremulous.net/faq/

Eternal Lands has its own license, which is not GPL. For art it says the following: "You are NOT allowed to take our art (2d/3d files), and use it for your own devious purpose, either commercial or not."

Nothing wrong with the sound system, these debug messages are normal.

X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  Major opcode of failed request:  145 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  5 (X_GLXMakeCurrent)
  Serial number of failed request:  108
  Current serial number in output stream:  108This seems to be the real cause of the trouble and indicates that X is not happy.

Are nvidia drivers installed?
Does "glxinfo | grep direct" say "direct rendering: Yes"?

I'm serious, if you are a developer and have some free time to spare, take a look and help this project.

About nightly resets ... Would you reset your test server every night just to make sure that it keeps running? Or perhaps you would keep it running as long as possible to see what else goes wrong? By resetting it you may actually miss a lot of bugs that otherwise would show up.

Keep in mind that the server that you use for playing is not a production server. It is a test server and there is actually no production server at this time. When the number of online players reaches couple of thousands, it might make sense to create a production server for players who prefer a stable environment and keep the test server for those who like to try the latest and greatest, but right now there is only one server and it is the test server.

Without the critical mass of players, test servers don't give the necessary information. Players are just so creative finding new ways of crashing the server, or abusing bugs.

People seem to have an impression that there is a large number of developers behind this game and they can be thrown into a specific issue to fix it quicker. In a fact, the number of developers is actually very small and the number of active developers even smaller. What you see is actually a work of a small group of developers, who have somehow managed to make a great game.

I haven't been around for a while, but I believe there is only one guy who knows how the NPC client code works and there aren't any other resources available to put on that issue. Asking four prospect coders to work on the NPC client doesn't solve the problem any faster, perhaps the opposite.

This is a hobby project and people work on it only after they have done with all their real life work, families and everything else including playing some games. New developers come from the current player base and if you are a software developer, take a look at the sources and perhaps you are the extra resource that can be put on this issue

Without knowing the details, I guess the current issue is the change that made NPCs impervious when they get stuck to avoid people to lead NPCs to places where they can be easily killed. Might be that the code is too sensitive and makes NPCs impervious a little bit too early.

DeadSomething has a point. It is not that you click on a person and anything you type on the main tab goes to tells. He wants to target a person and then switch to the tells tab assuming that from now he can send tells to the targeted person.

Well, the reason for the error seems that X server simply can't handle the requested resolution. It is not a fault of Planeshift, but something wrong with the X server configuration. Google for these error codes and you will find that many people have similar problems, especially with games in fullscreen mode and a resolution different from the normal one. People with LCD screens seems to affected mostly. One suggestion was to make HSync and VRefresh values larger than you would normally have for resolutions that are not native for the LCD screen.

You have the privilege to talk directly to every member of the team and not all of them are experts in public relationships. Many organizations limit the number of people you can talk to and make sure that you always get a nice answer, usually without any real information.

Not every answer you get from our team members is a nice one, but at least all the answers contain some useful information (at least I hope so)
