Newbie Help (Start Here) / Re: Cant fight, and cant do quests. And Im not allowed to report the problem.
« on: July 14, 2008, 04:54:56 am »
tyvm. I suppose that was pretty simple. I just never would have thought to take a leap of faith like that and hand over money to an npc without some obvious exchange window, or whatever.
I was just getting so frustrated. And I apologize.

Newbie Help (Start Here) / Cant fight, and cant do quests. And Im not allowed to report the problem.
« on: July 14, 2008, 04:27:02 am »
So I just started. I went through the tutorial yesterday, and I couldn't attack the rat. So i had to use the 'skip this step' option.
Now today, I still cant attack anything. This is over 24 hours later. I read about the npcclient thing. How long does this usually take?
Anyway I read the story. Read a bunch in the forums. read about the races. Ran around aimlessly just looking at polygons. And I'm getting kind of bored.
So i am trying some quests. But these npc's.. sigh.

Right now I'm trying to get a filleting knife for, Burdess Quirain. (No I'm not asking for walkthrus/answers/etc.)
But the npcs just don't seem to know wtf a knife is. They dont seem to know anything about anything.
I would send a message to "Jeraphon" as requested in this thread.
But it seems I am not allowed to send messages. So what am I supposed to do?
If i ask about it here. Well, I'm not really allowed to do that either.
I would ask in the game using the 'help' tab, but i've already had to do that 2 times now, for the attacking npc's thing, and once in the tutorial. I don't want to keep relying on that for every single thing I do in the game.
I'm sorry if you consider this a spoiler or whatever. But ffs. Its been 2 freaken days and I still cant do anything in this game.

And this npc has 0 knives for sale. The only category in the merchant window is 'food'.

What do i do?!?!
I use Ubuntu myself, so all of the Vista'ish querks are way outside my experience.
But from the command prompt can you use any of these programs?
tracert
netstat
regedit
tasklist

I did a quick google search using "ping.com is not a valid win32 application" as the search string and found some interesting things. (Took me about 30 seconds total)
From this website.

When I go and launch command prompt through the start menu and type in anything legal like "ping iinet.net.au" without the quotes. I get this error:
C:\Windows\system32\ping.com is not a valid win32 application
followed by a message in the prompt (not in a dialog), Access is Denied
Any help on resolving this error would be great.

Ok, I found the cause of the problem. I installed ad-aware in addition to spybot and ran its scanning tool and when it finished nod32 told me I had a virus, I deleted it on the spot and my computers running fine now.

Im changing all my bank passwords now.

Heres a screen of the alert.

It was a rootkit trojan!

If you even come back to read this. Good luck with the rootkit.

Linux Specific Issues / Re: No 3d graphics
« on: July 14, 2008, 01:20:57 am »
Yea I would post any errors that you are getting, what video card you have, what driver version, etc.
Thats what it looks like when your gpu has nothing to render. Like when you go noclip in a first person shooter and fly outside of the map. So, as I am only 2 days old to this game (I haven't even gotten to attack a rat yet because of npcclient  >:( ), I cant be sure exactly whats going on. But my un-educated guess is something funky is going on with the vertex data that your video card is getting (or not getting).

But yea, post the error(s) please.

Technical Help: Problems BEFORE entering the game / Re: Cannot connect to the server
« on: July 12, 2008, 08:01:31 pm »
EDIT: Right after posting this, I tried again, and it is working. I guess the server status on the webpage isn't really real time?
Anyway, any other newbies reading this. Just give it some time, and try again.

I just now, downloaded the game. V0.4.01
When I run the client, it says Servers -> Fragnetics  Failed.
I searched the forums and found answers to everything, so far.
I went to my router and setup port 7777 to forward to my machine 192.168.1.103 (With tcp/UDP set to BOTH)
ifconfig shows.
Code: [Select]
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:16:e6:df:66:d4 
          inet addr:192.168.1.103  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::216:e6ff:fedf:66d4/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:1446542 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:836095 errors:152 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:2115948856 (1.9 GB)  TX bytes:85066405 (81.1 MB)
          Interrupt:21 Base address:0xa000
grc.com's "ShieldsUP" service shows port 7777 as 'closed' not 'stealthed' So that means the port is accessible from the outside world.

However, the message in the game persists. I then found this thread about running the updater. So I did.
I got the err about the xml file "This updaterinfo.xml file is marked as inactive and will not work. Please get another one."
So I found a thread that talked about that and followed those instructions, changing the first line to "true".

I was then able to run the updater, and it worked. However the "Server Faild" message in the game is still there.

On the "New accounts" page of this website, it says.
Server Status: ONLINE       Players: 111

So the server isn't down. I don't know what else to do now. I can not find anything else in the forums. So this is why I'm adding to the mess of newbie questions. My apologizes if this is not technically the correct thread to post this. I just didn't want to add yet-another thread with the same old questions.

My system:
Ubuntu 8.04 x86_64
Latest Nvidia drivers. 2 7300Gt's running in SLi mode "SFR"
Cable internet connection "8mbps down"
Gnome - with CompizFusion from git
No special lan configurations, its about as simple as it gets. One router connects all of the computers.
