This is the first time I post here, so, here comes the newbe question: what does it take to run Ember? I got it installed, start it up, get a dialog, push it on and...I get an error log - a pretty big one, in fact.
I use Linux, so the dump of "lshw" is this (extract - not the whole thing)
My interest in Ember is that I've been playing games like these for a while and would like to "look behind the scenes" to see what makes something like that "tick"...
Tnx 4 a reply, the log is in the text, I could (somejow) not upload the file (extentions log, txt and 0 not allowed - not even without an extention)
So, for your reading:

That's quite an old version of Ember. How did you install it? What OS are you running? Could you try installing the latest version and see if that works instead: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/worldf ... 86.package
You just execute it. Right click on it after it has been downloaded to your desktop and select properties. And then make sure it's executable before double clicking it again.
The install works like a charm! Well done. There were some this-and-thats needed, but all in all a smooth install.
Couldn't log onto a server due to the fact that there were no more characters available (server full?) - I'll keep trying, because I'd really like to know what makes this thing (and others like it - WoW, Runescape and so) tick...
