Game hangs on characters.sdb loading.

[platyna]

Yes, I tried to delete sdb and idx files, or even whole ~/regnum folder and reinstall, no luck.

Any other ideas?

Regards.

There is this thread with the same Issue,

http://www.regnumonline.com.ar/forum...ad.php?t=44745

On windows though, "removing problamatic SDB" file is the closest thing to a solution we got though

[platyna]

I know how to use Search, removing the files did not helped, as I wrote.

You can always try to start the rolauncher to ensure you are using the latest Regnum version, close it and then run:

cd live
./game username `echo -ne password | md5sum`

This will bypass the rolauncher, and thus the check for characters.sdb.

You will probably get stuck right before entering the character selection screen though...
Please report back

I know it Znurre, I can play because I do bypass rolauncher now. However it would be nice to get this problem fixed.

Small correction to Z's post if anyone is interested.

./game username $(echo -ne password | md5sum |awk '{print $1}')

the awk is needed to curb any extra output from md5sum... it returns a "-" behind the password on my system which breaks the login string


Or a small script to do the same with more direct input:

#!/bin/bash

case "$1" in
 --gui)
	RO_USER="$(cat ~/.ngdstudios/rolauncher |grep user= |sed '{s|user=||}')"
	PASSWD=$(zenity --entry --hide-text --text=Password) 
        PASS_CRYPT=$(echo -ne $PASSWD | md5sum |awk '{print $1}')
        PASSWD=""
	;;
     *)
	if [ -z "$1" -o -z "$2" ]; then
	  echo ""
	  echo "Usage: $0 <user> <password>" 
 	  echo "       $0 --gui"    
 	  exit 1
	else
 	  if [ ! -f ./live/game ]; then
	    echo "Regnum Live folder not found! Running from the correct directory?" 
	    exit 2
	  fi
	fi
	RO_USER=$1
	PASS_CRYPT=$(echo -ne $2 | md5sum |awk '{print $1}')
	;;
esac


cd ./live
./game $RO_USER $PASS_CRYPT &
RO_USER=""
PASS_CRYPT=""
exit 0

Have fun
