Illarion.org

In the path that is shown in the Info-Box of the client, same directory where you'll find illarion.cfg.

If you don't find a log there, please send me your illarion.cfg file.

Thanks for the configs. Now I can tell you why you see no logs. They are disabled. By default, the client should install a illarion.cfg with logging enabled. Did you ever delete the illarion.cfg file? Did you install over an existing client?

Anyway, open your illarion.cfg and add the line
anywhere except for the last line.

Now you should get the logs.

Yup, that worked. Found the logs, sending copies over now.

It is weird. Though it shouldn't be related at all, all those logs show an error during sound output. Please try disabling sound in your client and whether this makes any difference.

I've tried it with the sound disabled but I'm still unable to type anything.

Please produce another set of logs (delete the old ones before starting the client) with sound disabled.

New logs sent with sound disabled. Still not able to type.

Ok, here we go again. I have set up a special debug version of the client for you with the old libraries. What we are going to do now is go step by step through the different version of LWJGL that I skipped in the client update until we find the one that causes the problem.

You can download the debug client from this URL

http://www.illarion.org/~nop/debug_dev/ ... debug.jnlp

It works only for windows and has the oldest libraries. In theory, everything should be working as before.

Please let me know whether you can type again.

Yes, everything seems fine with the v99 debug. Typing works.

This v.99 version seems fine. I can type without any problems.

Ok, next step. I have upgraded the debug to lwjgl V0.99. Still working?

Nop,

sorry, but i can give you no feedback.
during all the probs i have shot down my whole windows.

so i will have to format the disk, because i can not even reinstall.

The new version fails to start due to a technical error. Logs sent.

The new version still seems to work fine with me.

Works every time I try it. Is the problem persistent for you?

Yes it is. Fails everytime with a 'technical problem has occurred'.

@diomed Are you sure it is the updated lwjgl version? First time I tried running from the desktop icon it didnt download the lwjgl files. Then I ran it from the shortcut above and it downloaded but wouldnt run.

I think you're right, my client didn't upgrade.

Now that it has, I can't run the new client either.

Ok, try it again, the problem should be gone.

It downloaded fine, ran first time and typing works too.

Yes, it works for me too now, typing and everything.

Thanks Nop.

Next step. I have upgraded the debug version to LWJGL 1.0 beta 1.

Let me know how it is looking.

Looking good. Everything working as it should.

Everything seems to be working OK.

Next round. Upgrading to LWJGL 1.0 beta 2.

Let me know.

That blew it. No typing now.
F keys work and shift/ctrl/alt. But normal typing has gone again.

Seems we have found the culprit. As soon as I get another confirmation, I will revert the debug version to the last working one so you can play.

Just tried the latest version and I can't type either. Logs sent.

Thanks Nop. Your efforts are much appreciated. I know this has taken up a lot of your time.
What is the difference between the beta 1 and 2 versions? And what does this mean for us in terms of future game development?

Thanks again

They changed the DirectX input connection and DirectX seems to be faulty in Win98 SE. I guess it also means that they need to think up a fix for beta4.

Thanks for all your hard work Nop.
