WorldForge Community

Oh I should have mentioned that I'm trying to connect to the WorldForge active servers such as main, pop, shakespeare, etc that appear in the Connect to Server window. I'm not hosting my own server. But any of the active servers that I try to connect to will not show any characters. BTW, thanks for the reply.

Alright. I think that Al did some change to the way the rules are defined that invalidates any old rules, so if people just upgrade their server without running cyloadrules the list will be empty. But Al knows more about that.

I connected to the pwrcycle.llama11 server both with Ember and Sear and it was able to give me a list of characters. I haven't tried all of the servers but all the ones that I tried didn't have a list of characters except the pwrcycle server. I was able to get into the game, move around, look around, pick up stuff, and attack some players (hehe, I was just testing). I used Sear first but couldn't get a list of characters from any of the servers and also didn't give me a list of server addresses as much as Ember did. Then I tried Ember and that's how I found the pwrcycle server. And then I was able to connect with it with sear by typing the server address.

And just out of curiosity, I tried to set up a cyphesis server on my home network only. I installed the cyphesis server 0.5.15 that came included with my Ubuntu 8.04 distro, I tried to follow whatever instructions I can find, set up the postgresql server as best as I could to my knowledge, and apply those cyloadrules as instructed from the documentations.
However when I try to run cyclient, this is the message I get:

Cld not find python module define_world
2008-10-11 13:42:42 SCRIPT_ERROR Traceback (most recent call last):

2008-10-11 13:42:42 SCRIPT_ERROR ImportError: No module named cyphesis
ERROR: Failed to logout

I was able to connect with both Sear and Ember but no characters are listed. I know I haven't configured it correctly so I'm still trying to get it to work. Any advice?

Ubuntu filelists should be there:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/i386/c ... p/filelist
http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/i386/c ... s/filelist
http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/all/cy ... n/filelist

Since you mentioned that my ubuntu distro may been missing some scripts I decided to download the source and build it. I followed the wiki instructions that is provided by the wiki link under Services from the worldforge home page or the http://wiki.worldforge.org/wiki/Installing_Cyphesis#Installation_of_Cyphesis_from_source site.

I was successful in doing that. I can connect to my cyphesis server and I do get a list of characters and I am able to log in. However, I'm still confused about some things. When I ran cyclient, it gave me a few error messages and looks like some of the entities didn't load. Here is the output I got after running cyclient

./cyclient

Although, I am able to login, all I get is a sky and my character is in the middle. No ground, trees, water or anything else. Is that what I'm only suppose to get? Am I suppose to create my own ground, trees, water, etc? Or am I missing some stuff?

Hi Al,

I am using cyphesis 0.5.16 and mercator 0.2.6. I both downloaded them from the worldforge web site.

Sorry I wasn't clear but after I run cyclient, the server does crash. But I can run cyphesis again and connect.

Here's how it looks when I run cyphesis
ronin@genin:/opt/worldforge/bin$ ./cyphesis
2008-10-13 02:30:11 NOTICE DATABASE: NOTICE: CREATE TABLE / PRIMARY KEY will create implicit index "accounts_pkey" for table "accounts"

2008-10-13 02:30:13 INFO Running

Then I open another terminal and run cyclient, then I get the error messages that I mentioned from my previous post.

Then I get this from the terminal from where I ran cyphesis
2008-10-13 02:30:13 INFO Running

I'll try to get a gdb traceback as you mentioned. I'm not to familiar with it so I'll have to find out how to use it. If you can give me instructions on how to do it, please tell me.

OK I have the same problem. The fedora programs list has the problem, so I can't select a character class. How does cyloadrules work? I am new to Linux. How do I use, load, install, reactivate (whatever) cyloadrules. If wfut is wrong what's the link to the right wfut? Not just the page its on, I've tried that and there are multiple links there. Very confusing. wfut openned once but has hung every subsequent time. I have fedora 10 and what seems to be the latest sear and ember, etc.

Found cyloadrules but still can't see how to fix the glitch.
Ember gives an error too. I want to play this game. Let me in! Let me in! lol
At least I haven't 'burned' and money in the 'forge'. lol
