Johann · Post by **Johann** » 12 Jul 2012, 02:58

hello, my problem is that from one day to other couldn't play elma online (error: tcp/ip connect)
i have everything well configured and internet works fine, but eol just don´t connect to the server..

Orcc · Post by **Orcc** » 12 Jul 2012, 04:14

The server has been down for a while.

Eol Facebook site says: Server is down due to issues with the RAID controller. The host has replaced the hardware and is working on restoring the data from the backup server.

can we have IRC battles in the meantime? i'm bored.

Markku · Post by **Markku** » 13 Jul 2012, 01:06

I just set up our old friend battlebot in #battle to alleviate your pain, feel free to join and play some oldschool balles while the server is down!

Kopaka · Post by **Kopaka** » 13 Jul 2012, 20:49

Server is back now.

Mats · Post by **Mats** » 10 Jan 2013, 19:17

Now I'm confused, in the middle of a battle I noticed no new times were updated. Tried to refresh, and it said I was connected to the server, but I couldn't see anything, every list were empty and the battle was gone.

That happens like every day.

Lukazz · Post by **Lukazz** » 11 Jan 2013, 15:29

Protip: When that happesn, it doesn't help to press F12 multiple times. Wait till it says "connection lost". Then press F12 and it usually works again.

Mats · Post by **Mats** » 11 Jan 2013, 18:45

thx, it registered my time on eol site anyway

Mats · Post by **Mats** » 9 Feb 2013, 00:26

Mats · Post by **Mats** » 1 Sep 2013, 19:21

Juhnu · Post by **Juhnu** » 28 Mar 2014, 14:23

I haven't been able to log in elma in 3 days. Always tcp error. My settings are all same there were few days ago when I last played elma.

Juhnu · Post by **Juhnu** » 28 Mar 2014, 21:39

I would ask about this in irc but for some reason I lose connection to our irc channel after 1 second.

Hosp · Post by **Hosp** » 29 Mar 2014, 18:08

try TCP only or portforwarding maybe. could work at least

Juhnu · Post by **Juhnu** » 29 Mar 2014, 20:49

TCP only did not work. Could you explain more about port forwarding because I really have no idea about it.

Mats · Post by **Mats** » 8 Apr 2014, 21:43

Restart router always works

Mats · Post by **Mats** » 16 Nov 2015, 00:06

Eol many connection problems these days

pawq · Post by **pawq** » 13 May 2016, 23:33

Hi.

I got disconnected twice during one balle (slowness), both times just as I was about to finish with a winning time. This balle:

http://elmaonline.net/battles/106944

Once about 4min before end, then about 20s before end, both times just after I picked the second apple. Finished with a 2:15 the second time.

I'm not really that pissed about that balle (a little), but what the hell is going on here? I see 3 options:

1. I was in such bad luck that the only times I was disconnected in the last 2 weeks was during that balle, both times in the same spot (1/10000000000 chance?)
2. EOL bugged and for some reason didn't accept my second apple and instead gtfoed me
3. Someone's having innocent fun disconnecting people (hi berh2)

Any hypotheses? Kopaka?

edit:
Reefer said that after balle he was about to finish with some 13mins and lost connection just as he took the 2nd apple, so must be a bug?

Kopaka · Post by **Kopaka** » 14 May 2016, 12:31

Looking into it a bit, it does look like there's a bug with anti cheat detection, it's detecting you twice and reefer once in that battle. Which would kick you. It seems to be a rare bug though, that particular reason for kick has happened 243 times in total and some of those might be genuine cheating. Probably not likely we can do anything about it, but if it happens again let me know.

Orcc · Post by **Orcc** » 14 May 2016, 13:11

pawq · Post by **pawq** » 14 May 2016, 14:31

Well, thanks for the feedback! I'll let you know if it happens again.

badyl · Post by **badyl** » 15 May 2016, 13:29

I can't spy in EOL. What is going on? Why?

Is it possible for you to identify what the cheat detection thinks I'm doing? I just tried again and the same thing happened, exactly as I picked the second apple on the way to the flower. Is it due to the lev? Maybe because there are so many flower objects and eol gets confused with the number of the object as I pick the second apple (e.g. thinks I picked a flower or sth)? I think it would be good to identify the problem to avoid it in the future. I'll try a couple of things with the lev.

Probably hard for anyone other than mila, but send me a rec of it happening, so we have something concrete.

problem with 'o' (open) letter in editor. When I press in it elma crashed. I often press it when want to press 'p', because they are nearby. what to do?

Oh my god yes I have this problem too, it's so annoying. I've gotten used to having to press x and enter editor again to open new level, but I keep acciddntally hitting o.

AndrY · Post by **AndrY** » 5 Jun 2016, 22:24

there is one more bag: when I reply private -> F12 -> reply private again, elma crashed too.

-----------------------------------------
btw, how to go out from private writing?

Go between the last and first player in the list. Like xiphias -> public -> adi

Or altgr+f2)
altgr+<letter> jumps to closest nick starting with letter too, but i guess most people know that.

kuchitsu · Post by **kuchitsu** » 5 Jun 2016, 23:52

Not sure what Altgr is, for me it needs Ctrl.

FinMan · Post by **FinMan** » 6 Jun 2016, 01:18

Ctrl is the default button, ye, but altgr seems to work as well.

yes i have problem with eol - my HDD crashed after eol crashed windows few months ago. same thing happened 2 years ago lul. now i always panic when play eol

Kopaka · Post by **Kopaka** » 6 Jul 2016, 10:12

Yes eol self destructs if you don't drive enough WR's.

kuchitsu · Post by **kuchitsu** » 6 Jul 2016, 13:39

Do you have something crazy like 50,000 levs in the lev folder? Just guessing.

Sla · Post by **Sla** » 8 Jul 2016, 18:29

Help please.
My friend tried EOL yesterday and without draw.dll file, the images on game were bugged (i think like typical bugged elma screens - gold). Then he added draw.dll and what he managed to see is this:

The resolution he is using is the same i use: 1024x768 Zoom 1.25 and in the same operating system as mine.
Have anyone ever had this problem?

Kopaka · Post by **Kopaka** » 8 Jul 2016, 21:30

Looks like the resolution of his screen is something like 1920x1080, when you use ddraw and smaller res than your screen it will look like that. Either change res to that of his screen, use ddraw_change_resolution.txt, or play like this.

Hi, my name is Alan.
I have got my dear comp after 1.5y where i didnt have EOL installed, now when trying it, i noticed (no im not high) that when i go to rigth after pressing enter on Play again the bike takes a while to acelerate. Going to left seems to work ok. You can see here a merged rec with a normal Warm Up rec (player1) and the slow player (player2).

The turn is instant, I think it's a keyboard related problem.
Try this: when you press enter and turn, hold the turn button longer. I think the gas will start as soon as you release the turn button, or it can be turn+enter.

ROKKEBOL · Post by **ROKKEBOL** » 4 Mar 2017, 18:36

Hi Alan, my name is Artem.
Maybe you have installed some software like Aston Shell or something on that computer? Also, did you try to play elma with other keyboard?
