Trouble loading

[dragonexpert19]

I think that i am near hydlaa, but whenever i get 2/3 of the area loaded, it stops responding

[Karyuu]

How long have you left it loading for? :} Can you post your system specs for us?

[AryHann]

If it stops, what is exactly happening?
Are you asked if you want to save a diagnostic file? If yes, could you please follow the instructions here: http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=27639.0

You can also try to reduce the font size through Pssetup and you can even try to check up errorlog.txt and see what is the last line that is written there, so eventually we can check up better what is going on.

It is highly probable, however, that you might not meet the minimum requirement or that you need fresher drivers for your graphic card.

Ok, here is what it says:
Loading Game
then it shows the area that I am in, Hydlaa,
Requesting Connection
Loading World
then it gets 2/3 of the way full in the loading bar, goes no further, and then at the top it says
Planeshift (3.08.something) (Not Responding).

I made another character, and it loads fine on that character.

[AryHann]

Karyuu, maybe he needs to be moved by a GM in another area?

Otherwise, dragonexpert19, could you try to reduce the font size in PSsetup?
What about errorlog.txt?

[Karyuu]

Sure thing, we'll just need the name of the character that fails to load.

[dragonexpert19]

Thank you so much! The name is Yunwun Vralin.  I reduced the font size to 80%, that enough?

By the way, Karyuu, did you get your location by looking at mine? Just curious.

[Caarrie]

if 80% does not work try 50%

[dragonexpert19]

Okay, thanks

Have you recently used a multiline text control to enter information (such as editing your character description or entering a petition?)

By the way, Karyuu, did you get your location by looking at mine? Just curious.

No, it's inspired by my giant collection of "im in ur ____, _____ ur _____" cat pictures ;)

Time to change!

Not too long ago, I did edit the character description.

To Karyuu: Ah, I see. I got mine from a Halo II (or I, not sure) shirt.  Also, I am guessing that I haven't been moved yet, as it did the same thing just now.  Am I correct?

It sounds like you've hit one of the infamous bugs in 0.3.018. If the character description has been entered and a single character runs acrossed the entire width of the screen and wraps to the next line and then saved, the character cannot login past the area you've described. I've put in a request to have your description wiped. Note to everyone else: This bug has been fixed if you build the client yourself and don't feel like waiting for your description to be wiped. Use planeshift revision 2-20-2007 00:00:00 and run 

Code: [Select]

cvs update -dP src/client/entity* src/common/effects data/effects/misc/entitylabel.eff afterwards to patch a problem with the labels.

Update: Your description has been wiped. Please let us know if you can login now.

[dragonexpert19]

I tried to login, didn't work.  I lowered the font size to 50%.  All that did was make it hard to read.  Will moving me help? If so, then please put me in Hydlaa, if it is not too much trouble.

[Rolenun]

As a last resort, if everything else fails, I could recommend building the client to allow us to get the necessary error messages to troubleshoot it. The official guide is located here: http://planeshift.cvs.sourceforge.net/*checkout*/planeshift/planeshift/docs/compiling.html. Also, if you have any trouble building it, please feel free to come to Planeshift's Public Developer's Channel on irc at freenode.net in the #planeshift-build channel.
