You set it up in config ofcourse But default is opt2: left shift and opt3: left ctrl
aah, thank you, i see. i thought there is some Enter hotkey too, cause someone said F1 + Enter = spy.

enter is in force sometimes, recording recs is F1+enter i think

My eol crashes when I press some of the function keys (f6 and f5 at least). Also crashes when I press 2 keys simultaneously in chat mode, excluding shift (Actually I don't know if this is true or just some coincidence. Crashing seems very random).

It didn't do this on sunday. Crashing started when I redownloaded eol on tuesday.

Ecchi · Post by **Ecchi** » 28 Jul 2010, 06:11

Still havent found anything to point out except when YEAHS started multiplayer balle with gravity apple in start we couldent finish or something

Orcc · Post by **Orcc** » 28 Jul 2010, 08:19

He would've needed to tick "allow bugs", otherwise bug apple finishes won't count.

Ecchi · Post by **Ecchi** » 28 Jul 2010, 08:30

Guess it was because applebug when both players took gravity apple:P Though only 1 player got the grav:D

Lukazz · Post by **Lukazz** » 28 Jul 2010, 09:51

nice work mila! can't test at the moment, cause i'm not home, but i'm very looking forward to play EOL again tomorrow evening. =)

milagros · Post by **milagros** » 28 Jul 2010, 10:02

those bugs of the type "both players took the same gravity apple" due to synchronization are detected and result is not counted
real synchronization would lag like hell and it is not an issue with internals so i decided not to synchornize at all
i guess in other games if two ppl take some weapon or smth at the almost same time, its easy to "update" it so he doesnt have it.. in elma its not that easy and all the frames inbetween would have to be recalculated

i will fix that bug with shift-f6, noone mentioned any other
anyone can reproduce the chat bug? wasn't it some hotkey presses (i forgot to remove ignore hotkeys while chatting)?

pawq · Post by **pawq** » 28 Jul 2010, 11:34

for me option keys work in chat (when i swapped ctrl and shift, couldnt use shift in chat cuz it did funny things)

Crashes when I just simply press F6 or F5, so I can't even see battle standings or players online.

EDIT: fixed this by downloading eol.exe again... Apparently I made some accidental changes in the config.

milagros · Post by **milagros** » 28 Jul 2010, 13:44

i can image the behaviour lousq is mentioning, if there is some problem with medium.abc font
if you press f7 for finished times list, does it show the title text (with medium.abc font) correctly?

Ali · Post by **Ali** » 28 Jul 2010, 14:24

multi battle bug:
- first i got internal error when starting lev. it was totally random, just another entering into already x times played lev and boom... weird
- then the standings got all fucked up, i and other player saw different stuff when F6. see pic (first two times by me and kd, 2nd one before the crash)

Well, I only replaced eol.exe and crashing stopped, so it can't be related to font, can it?

milagros · Post by **milagros** » 28 Jul 2010, 14:35

do you have that old exe too?

Kiiwi · Post by **Kiiwi** » 28 Jul 2010, 14:52

Found an interesting bug with Jamppa:

If u go to in-game options -> customize controls (player A) -> toggle show/hide and swap default key (1) to anything else, it causes key "1" to show/hide "show players online" and key "2" will show/hide "best times" in-game.
(we tried this on two different comp's and copies of EOL with different settings, and the bug is consistent)

So far we haven't figured out a way to reverse this in any way.

-we tried customizing controls back as they were, but the bug persisted (Jamppa mangoed something in eolconf, but so far no success in reversing the bug).

So, there...and if anyone knows/finds out how to reverse this annoying bug (button "1" is jamppa's brake alias, so u can imagine that f5 popping up on ur nose everytime u brake can be a little annoying xD), plz let us know.

milagros · Post by **milagros** » 28 Jul 2010, 15:07

those are set as hotkeys (you can change them in eolconf), why the fuck didn't kd remove it from his default setting before upload?:)

Kiiwi · Post by **Kiiwi** » 28 Jul 2010, 15:22

sry, fixed....i was idiot

looks like a few poeple managed to get internal error in multiballe (ali & kd, jappe & veezay, zebra & orcc) - did anyone get this outside balle in normal multi? ti would decrease teh bug search space if no:)

FinMan · Post by **FinMan** » 28 Jul 2010, 21:40

i got teh with Jon in preca today.

Produced error.txt if it helps.

milagros · Post by **milagros** » 28 Jul 2010, 21:42

Yep we got the error in multiballe. Orcc had taken all apples and I tried to take the flower with head but it went straight through it. I think I died to the wall (not sure though) and got internal error, but our time was still added to the results correctly.

FinMan · Post by **FinMan** » 29 Jul 2010, 13:13

We got it in the same way kinda. I just had dead before him and looked like i got the error when he took the apple. Pressed esc simultaneously when it happened too. So basically seems like it has something to do with deaths`..

jblaze · Post by **jblaze** » 29 Jul 2010, 20:00

what?
I restarted my computer without closing ElMa and im stil online here http://elmaonline.moposite.com/?s=players
Now when i open ElMa i see error: tcp connect (!! not error: lost tcp connection to the server (F12 to reconnect). !!)
Can some admin log me out or something?

:D

Lukazz · Post by **Lukazz** » 29 Jul 2010, 20:08

maybe try ctrl + alt + del and look if EOL.exe is still running in background.

jblaze · Post by **jblaze** » 29 Jul 2010, 20:16

No, it isnt.
When i had opened 2 Belmas i saw smth like "blabla udp bind", but here i see just error: tcp connect :O It should be error:lost tcp connection (F12 to reset) Completely weird

trew · Post by **trew** » 29 Jul 2010, 20:35

actually, I'm getting tcp error too now...

jblaze · Post by **jblaze** » 29 Jul 2010, 20:37

but what do u see:
error: tcp connect or
error: lost tcp connection (F12 to reset)?

Lukazz · Post by **Lukazz** » 29 Jul 2010, 21:09

tcp error here too now, i guess server is down.

KD · Post by KD » 29 Jul 2010, 21:20

Yes, server is down since around 18:50 UTC time.

jonsykkel · Post by **jonsykkel** » 29 Jul 2010, 22:55

if yuo put more than 50 chatlines it puts 5 instead :E

milagros · Post by **milagros** » 30 Jul 2010, 00:28

server running (hopefully fixed soon)
yes, 50 lines is teh limit, if you type above, it sets itself to default

milagros · Post by **milagros** » 30 Jul 2010, 00:35

any idea what was going on when it crashed?
was it multiballe like last time?

Because you wrote that team? You can change it in settings page.

Lukazz · Post by **Lukazz** » 30 Jul 2010, 13:11

imo EOL should show somehow, when a battle is "hidden times".
EDIT: and the starter should be able to see the results, if it doesn't allow starter.

Ecchi · Post by **Ecchi** » 30 Jul 2010, 13:19

Nah, then starter can whisper styles to their friends;D

Lukazz · Post by **Lukazz** » 30 Jul 2010, 16:03

got internal error during normal multiplaying with Kowal now!

and: how to hide the 2nd minimap while playing multi?

EDIT: another internal error, with kowal on Quick Round... didn't happen before o_O

EDIT2: multiplaying on 23 didn't work at all. we got "Failed to finish" all the time, although i touched flower 2 seconds after kowal got all apples.
