Illarion.org

So, I've been trying to get the game to download for a while now. Here is what I get:

Unable to load resource: http://illarion.org/illarion/download/rsc_chars.jar


... Help? I use windows 7.

Uh... Not really sure what your trying to download, but here's the link I download from.

http://illarion.org/illarion/download/i ... lient.jnlp

Right, and then it gives me that error message.

Until someone else comes along that may have a better idea of the problem... make sure your java is up to date and if you have the game already in the java console, delete and redownload.

PS and make sure your firewall isn't blocking java.

I have uninstalled java, deleted the illarion file (that has nothing in it), messed with my fire walls, restarted my computer, switched browsers, and reinstalled everything. That didn't work. I have no idea what to do. Oh, and I switched my sources of internet to the very first internet source that I used to download illarion the first time!

It downloads an empty file folder. The next time I click, 'start game', it asks me where I want to put the same empty file folder.

Hi Vern, Not sure if this is the problem or not you need some like Nitram or Llama who has better experience in this matter.

Check your web browser if it is firefox, go to your options click application and look to see if you see this in there

JNLP File Use Java(TM) Web Start Launcher

To me it seems your trying to download it not run it..

not sure on windows 7, but you have a box appear when you click that start button. if it is there make sure you click open with and then from the pull down window, other and then Java(TM) Web Start Launcher.

Not sure if this is your problem it just seems to me Java is not starting and your actually trying to download the start button .

Hope this helps. if you have any questions please ask I will try to help.

He is trying to find out what is blocking java.. firewalls off etc. Any ideas?

I click the start game, or play, (on the website, mind you) and it keeps giving me this. Now, I have that folder. But it keeps asking me to make it again. Whats up?

I understand, and thank you Achae for the picture, I am going to try to help the best I can. Let me do a little digging.

Try going to start -> run

Type in "javaws -viewer" and run it.

Delete the illarion client under applications and anything under http://illarion.org or http://www.illarion.org under resources.

Then try again.

I've been trying to help this gentleman for 2 days or so. Haven't had any luck yet So yeah he's done the usual voodoo of updating java, reinstalling the client, praying to Cthulhu and all that.

Thanks, Llama I was going to have to try to get a hold of you since I couldn't figure out the problem.

it almost sounds like there is a permission problem that makes the file but won't let be written to..

Maybe Pharse has an answer he runs windows 7 if I remember right reading an old post.


one quick question not sure if will help. I remember reading about installing the client again in one of old post.. could someone send him their illa folder minus the characters via email and let him try to run it?

The Illarion folder doesn't contain anything other than character folders and console dumps from having already run it. It's installed entirely to your java cache.

Thanks Flux. just wanted to check. will keep looking.

That's an idea. Lets try this new voodoo. Save the jnlp file to your desktop - and run it as administrator.

I never had any problems with illarion on windows 7. But lets try this shall we?

No dice it appears. I tried to run it as an administrator, but that option did not appear. (However, I am the administrator)

Look closely in the properties, there is a drop down menu with "Run as administrator" somewhere there, you just missed it methinks.

That only works on executables. the JNLP isn't an executable, its a document of sort, so it doesn't work that way

If all else fails, get virtualbox, install Ubuntu on it, install illarion on that and play.

Apparently other java applications online work which makes me wonder if a download failure rather then java. The windows admin may possibly find the errors however even though it won't work on that particular file. This is how to enable it like Karl suggested: http://www.windows7news.com/2009/02/03/ ... r-account/

That procedure is very risky. It breaks the principle of least privilage. If he has a virus active it'll have full access to the system.

You should never run around with the root account.
