Ragnar,

Did you use the downloaded client to connect to a compiled shard? Or a compiled client to connect to the public Open Shard?

Thanks,

I used a compiled client connecting to the open shard.
For the untrained eye, it looks, as if the server sends data in a format different from what the client expects...
P.S.: Until now, I didn't change a single bit in the sourcecode itself - everything still is in virgin state, and except for the problems solved until now, I didn't change anything with the CMaking as well.

Ragnar,

Problem solved: you can't use the compiled client with the Open Shard and you can't use the downloaded client for a newly built shard. The server messages have changed in Hg. I posted a news item about this: http://dev.ryzom.com/news/16

Thanks!

sfb,

it must be frustrating to see people like me lamentating about problems that are mentioned on the frontpage.

Thank you for not yelling "RTFN!" at me... it would have been justified... :)

Perhaps you can give a description for dummys how to compile a client that works with the open shard IN BIG LETTERS ON THE FRONT O:-) , as like me, people at that time are still in a state of confusion, like about if they installed their tools in right order and such... :-)

And yes, thank you for being so helpful so often already!

Ragnar,

You can't compile a client for Open Shard unless you back Hg up many revisions. You're better off either running your own local shard or downloading ryzom_open_client.7z from our SF.net project.

Thanks,

Is there any other updated servers we can connect to? I really don't want to setup a whole server on my machine. How long until open shard is updated?
