Can't Play!
Hello there, I just went to log in today and I can't play. Now, before I paste the error log, I want to mention that I updated my Java to 7, the newest version I think. Would this cause a problem in playing? Thanks.
Re: Can't Play!
its quite possible that is the cause of the problem. Try rolling back your Java to the previous version and seeing if it will work then.

Re: Can't Play!
Well, Java 6 Update 30 is the latest stable version of Java, so Java 7 might be buggy; note that the current client was developed for Java 5, so it is quite likely that Java 7 caused your problem if you changed nothing else about your system.
Nevertheless, this is a good opportunity to support the developers by posting the error log and also, checking out whether the new client plus the development tools work with Java 7. So, if you can spare a minute, check out this link:
http://illarion.org/~nitram/downloads/i ... nload.jnlp
With the new client, you can log in to the testserver;
Account: testserver
Password: testserver
The map editor won't work, but you can check out the easyNPC and easyQuest editor as well.
Any error that might occur can, if you agree, be forwarded to the Mantis bugtracker automatically!

Re: Can't Play!
Alright, I clicked that download link you provided, and I again got an error upon Java 7 trying to load it. And as for the error logs, you want them in Mantis, or here, or does it matter? And do I post the Lanch File, the Exception, or both?
And I think I'll just drop down to Java 5.. Seems I have to choose Illarion over Minecraft(which requires Java7).

Re: Can't Play!
Have you tried deleting Illarion in your java console then re-downloading it? Worth a try if haven't.

Re: Can't Play!
I doubt there's anything wrong with my Illarion files as they are. I even had slight issues while running Illarion on Java 6, and after some thought I'm fairly sure Java 7 is the cause of the further issues.

Re: Can't Play!
I thank you for your help, but I've resolved the issue. I simply right clicked my desktop icon for Illarion, and 'Open With', where both Java 6 and 7 were listed. Though I'd still be happy to give the error logs for 7 if you want them.

Re: Can't Play!
Yes, any error log will help!
Is this perhaps from you? http://illarion.org/mantis/view.php?id=6847
Btw: Do not roll back to Java 5. Just use the latest stable build of Java 6, update 30 that is. Java 5 is simply... outdated.

Re: Can't Play!
Java 7 will not be supported for the current client. It is not even released as stable yet.
