  2. Can you better describe the changes so we know what to look for? Or is this one of those things that's a secret to players?

    Bug Fix: Hulls

    Hi folks, I'm just going to go ahead and put it out now before we do it. Your hulls with all avatars *may* experience a change. Thanks to a recent report, we discovered a bug with hull value calculations and are going to correct it with the next game restart, most likely. Some might see it as a nerf, some a blessing, but ultimately and regardless, we're going to fix it along with anyone erroneously benefiting from it.
  4. Last week
  5. hello. yes i am Saoninal/Skitzdout. yes there are a few songs in that collection that do not fit. they were put in there by accident. sorry about that. they were tracks with vocals. most certainly do not belong in that collection. really happy you enjoyed the songs you have heard. was a long time ago i posted those. cheers
  6. After a daring raid on the resurrection ship, the gerbil was recovered and put back on his wheel.
  7. I guess client side warning when name and/or password contains special chars was not enough. Its now enforced on server side aswell.
  8. 3 Cylon basestars just jumped into range and destroyed our server commander.
  9. It should be blocking special characters, Ill let a dev know about that as soon as I can.
  10. I'm a fan of the collection of music. Are you Saoninal/skitzdout? I recall the first patch was great, I don't think I've made it through all of the ones that made up the 150ish update. Pretty much everything else I've listened to while playing is spot on. I do remember hearing one that threw me off for some reason from there, I'll have to see if I can find it again and find out why.
  11. Mark as resolved. Initial game account creation did not block special character or stripped them without me noticing. Deleted accounts and recreated with no special characters seemed to do the trick.
  12. delay time from creation to being able to login is very minimal, have you made sure to set the net-7 launcher and the game Client executables to run as Administrator and also compatibility mode, since you said your created a game account on the net-7 page, are you using those created credentials to log in? Windows 10 or 11 doesn't make a difference for the game, i run the game on win11 machines with out issues. verify the administration mode and compatibility modes, and let us know how it goes.
  13. Note for anyone using a rolling release distro like Arch or Manjaro you are likely to soon pick up: https://archlinux.org/news/transition-to-the-new-wow64-wine-and-wine-staging/ which is a major problem for us. Immediately after I started getting: wine: '/home/cs/.wine' is a 32-bit installation, it cannot support 64-bit applications. despite the fact the application I'm running is 32-bit. You can try reinstalling from the install script again (which will create a new 32-bit prefix as suggested in the link above) but the degree of performance degradation mentioned there is currently unknown. I'm currently trying to build this wine32 AUR package as a replacement: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/wine32 but who knows how long that will take or whether it will work (one of the comments there said the build took 3 hours). I'll post more details when I know more. EDIT: The wine32 AUR package worked. I ran into some additional trouble with some scripts and things that I use, but those are unlikely to affect most people and I found workarounds to get things mostly working again.
  14. I followed the steps from the FAQ regarding installation of the game client and net-7 launcher. I have created 2 game accounts that are visible under my master account. However, I'm unable to login to the game after launching it from the net-7 launcher with either account. What is the delay time between game accounts created online being migrated to game servers? Should I just wait a few hours and try again? I have tried from a Windows 10 and Windows 11 machine both with the same issues.
  15. here is the same collection plus 20 more to make it 179. HEAD JOINT 179 SPACE SCI FI AMBIENT COLLECTION
  16. I have rebuilt it, we have the technology. It's alive(ish) again. Should be back to normal shortly.
  17. It's dead Jim.
  18. Earlier
  19. I've always loved those classy leather bags on the sides of these, beautiful ride sir
  20. very nice. safe travels My Friend
  21. 3 reasons. 1: Cost for Micro$oft OS. 2: It is an OS I'm used to using. (covers most people. Android OS on phones compared to I phones. Love them or hate them) 3: All the Linux's I have tried, none have caught my attention.
  22. I recently finished restoration on a 1951 Harley. Thought I'd share some pics for those that have an interest in motorcycles. Hope you like it! Dusty/Redbeard
  23. Why not just use Linux at this point?
  24. Nothing on my comp, I use GhostSpectre OS which is bareboned. At least the zip file works. guessing wun1one had same problem and d/led the zip file, see if he confirms.
  25. We where on andromeda server in old From the start to the end. my old nick : Stonei my char now : Nocrazydahle
  26. And We Back On E&B EMU as Shai'hulud just me that are slow to get back lol
  27. @Spa It's just a file hosted on a webserver, nothing fancy. I can download it and so can the independent link check tool. So it's probably some safety measure on your computer. If I had to guess it's because it's a file that's not downloaded very often, so that might prevent some browser or some anti virus from downloading it. I remember sending you the file, since you already had issue back then. Not something I can fix from the webserver side I'm afraid. Maybe if I get some spare time, I could look into hosting it on github as a release or something. Perhaps that helps, but in fairness I think the same issue might happen there for you.
  28. Just tried again, screen goes blank for a second or two, then back to this page. Windows 11 Pro. This is the copy you sent me via e-mail a little while ago. Think you sent me the web link. Net7MultiClientUnlocker.zip
  29. for the people that have downloaded this collection, what do you guys think of it? does it fit in with EnB atmosphere? cheers.
  30. Well that is funny. Because if I check the url with Filescan.io, this is the result: So not only is the URL working, but it could download the zip file, find the executables in it and scan them for threats. Not sure what to tell you
  31. nope, click on link, screen flashes, right click and link to webpage is a blank webpage.
  32. The link on the first page/initial post, should point to this: http://www.rmkrs.nl/download/Net7MultiClientUnlocker.zip And if I go here manually, I can download it. So for me it's working. Let me know if this works for you.
  33. Ok, my multi client unlocker has vanished. The folder is still there, but the actual program itself has gone. Tried to re-download it, but non of the links in this post appear to be working.
  34. awesome. happy to hear. cheers
  35. Mars Colony 53, I really like.
  36. if you want to listen to these while in game, just remember to open up ebconfig and disable music.
  37. it was this game back in beta/live that inspired all these songs i created.
  38. it has been many years since i have heard all these songs. brings back some good memories of spending hours upon hours creating tracks
  39. just so you all know, google drive gives a warning that it cannot scan the file for viruses. that is standard when sharing a zip file. nothing to worry about. feel free to scan the zip file after you download it.
  40. here you guys go. 14 hours of pure space ambient to enjoy. hope you guys like this. cheers. HEAD JOINT AMBIENT COLLECTION FOR GAMES-179 TRACKS
  41. Will d/l once you are done, sounds interesting.
  42. ok sounds good. will do. ill do that tomorrow as i need to download them from the cloud then zip them up.
  43. If you want to link it so players can listen and download to the game files, I think a few would be interested.
  44. hello. i am a musician and have created over 150 sci fi space ambient songs over the years. well suited for EnB. any chance you guys would like this collection to add to the games current music library? i can also create more new songs as time goes on. if not wanting to add it to the game, would there people here that would like a link to the collection download? thanks. cheers.
  45. Hi Shadowdragon, I'm not set up to record a Youtube video sorry, Howevere you can look at this post for a simplified install walk though. Please post here again if you have further issues. Yeti(GM)
  46. I am trying to have a friend join us in game, but I can't explain how to install everything needed to play. Plus the youtube guides are way too outdated, eight years plus old.
  47. k maintenance should be done, other than an update to the forum which I don't know if i'll do tonight. Things should be back up.
  48. <insert Elevator Music>
  49. It depends if Kyp is carrying out Maintenace on the server systems which may take longer than expected - hence no time lines are given... just a heads-up/warning
  50. Awesome, thanks!
  51. It's typically not down more than 15-20 minutes, about the time it takes to apply OS updates and reboot.
  52. Thanks for hosting and restarting server. Any ETA on when it will be up again?
  53. Yes, this evening for sure.
  54. I will be a third voice here. It's really hard to play right now guessing how much energy you have left and whether or not a buff is active.
  55. Things are indeed getting quite wonky now, not a very pleasant playing experience currently.
  56. Can the restart be today? It is REALLY getting bad with warping issues, showing no buffs, locking up for a few minutes at a time before releasing the char. etc..etc..
  57. Guild : Shai'hulud Guildfounder Norcrazydahle when e&b was live my nick was Stonei
  58. Any word on new content? Really needs some input to get players back.
  59. Cool thanks for the heads up.
  60. Hi guys, Just giving a heads up, sometime over the course of the next few days I'll get to what needs to happen with sunrise and the game will end up getting a restart. I'll log on to give a heads up when it's time.
  61. I'd put this on our tracker. Let me also add something to add a means for you guys to report bugs we use different software for tracking activities like those now.
  62. As always, I know this forum is not intended for bug reports but I'm posting this here as I don't know where else to put it (the bug tracker link is still not functioning). Recently while trying to ANALYZE an item which contains 6 components I got a critical success which would typically mean that all 6 components would be "recovered", allowing me to rebuild a player made one. Unfortunately I only had 3 slots available in my cargo and the analyze does not account for the possibility of a crit like dismantle does (which checks your available cargo before allowing you to attempt a dismantle). As a result I lost 3 of the 6 components from a raid drop. Ideally the analyze path should contain the same check that the dismantle path does such that it does not allow you to attempt an analyze if you don't have enough cargo space for all the components that would result from a crit.
  63. Hello Yeti, that's what I though, this is inconsistent, some days is perfectly ok and some it's not. Might be some problem along the route. @Doctor: it was a screen shot of the launcher with the relevant box checked.
  64. Pass me the details in a private message & I will investigate further...
  65. I'll only say that characterization of what I'm saying is different than what I mean. Do you have evidence that something like that happened, or are you just stating it because of the way something worked out? All i've done so far is read this thread, and it looks like an allegation, and a fight over some loot. Something we should all be familiar with from the live game and from other games. My anecdotal references were to blatant and OBVIOUS abuse of power once it was uncovered. Every time a GM creates an item, it's tagged. Every time they utilize their powers to do something a normal player cannot do, it's also tagged. Given that Woody has been HGM as long as he has, and he's practically the only game master, it gives me pause on considering this likely. I'm willing to accept something and look into it, as I always have been. That said, time is more precious now than when I was in college and my only worries were studying, so having my chain yanked and having to spend that kinda time to track something down and find nothing is probably going to annoy me a little. Suppose you feel sure that something is going on and have something besides vinegar for each other, PM me. Please don't make me waste time on squabbles.
  66. Hi Zourite, This is most likley a ISP/Router issue or hops to and from the Net-7 systems. We have not had any other reports of lag ( 2 or 3) so it is not effecting the rest of the player base. I hope tyhe issue resolves soon for you though. Yeti(GM)
  67. I can't see the photo you attached (either the forums lost it or something else happened). Make sure Prototype Re-order is enabled in the launcher.
  68. Welcome in 2025: same problem for me. It started today, game was working fine before. Not a bandwith problem and other online games are working fine with no lag. I had to kill the client from task manager several time just to get to get in a safe place because the client wouldn't let me exit the game properly (maps not loading after gating, warp not engaging, navpoints being overshooted at some point whenever warp works, getting ganked by mobs while my client doesn't respond (thanks for the xp debt), station NPC not answering, etc..). Note: sometimes it seems to be back to normal for a few minutes, then out of nowhere it happen again. Edit: I could do a 30 min play with only minor lag spikes. I'll let you know if the issue fix itself at some time.
  69. I have noted that on the initial post. Please post any other malware sites or those not working and I will make a note. I will try to organize this at some point, but will make it a point to address any known malware sites asap.
  70. I do agree with closing this thread. I understand your position now and that of the other side of the argument and you have heard my side of the issue. Oh well.
  71. I still disagree Kyp. Items marked untradeable should be that or take that tag off all untradeable items. I see the GM's favor certain players and are willing to make concessions not made for others. Once you start this trend then be ready to treat all players the same. Now I know that I can get a GM to transfer untradeable just because or it will be more proof that GM's ARE in fact abusing the power entrusted to them. Yes, back in the day when players were building toons then getting them wiped, and then building and wiping, while the game was being developed, GM's would create items to give away to help players. Run contests to let players WIN the items. We did it back then to help players knowing it was temporary. All of those "giveaways" stopped once the game development needed no more wipes. IMHO, now that the game is stable it should be played as designed, I.E., untradeable are that. The only time GM's should intervene is to REPLACE an item lost due to a game issue not on a player or dev whim. It's your game Kyp, but in this case it should be a hard rule for all. Next time I "accidentally" pick up an item I will make sure to get a GM to transfer it. IMHO, anyone who provides a trigger with no intention of sharing dropped loot with all raiders is a selfish POS. AND I made it clear before I joined my whole purpose for agreeing to go was to roll for that bastion. NP now though. I know where the GM's and devs stand although this is where we have to agree to disagree. Normally you will hear very little of me except to help in game. I'm not a game trouble maker. I've been in the emulator pretty much from the beginning. I did leave for about 4-5 years though when I was an GM and some politics got involved and someone opened another server and I was getting caught in the middle. So I left both completely until the dust settled. I have been back and nothing but supportive of the game and the players. So I guess now for wanting FAIRNESS in the game I am now wrong and the bad guy. And repeat offenders and malcontents are the good guys now. OK.. I'll accept that.
  72. I will throw out here for those reading that 'castanet' is tied into the updating software they used in the past, it is installed with the game (I think, or at least the demo), and will not affect whether someone could log in. The game will for sure also run on Windows 11 just fine. Although with each new OS rev, it is getting trickier because the game does not observe modern security standards, and because EA has never released the code for the client, we're technically doing wrong if we start reverse engineering it too much. https://www.webopedia.com/definitions/castanet/
  73. I'm going to break this down since there's a suggestion of an abuse of power. An Abuse of power would be like something we had back in the beta days, where a GM created a ton of loot for someone they were friends with, with no risk/events run to earn it. Or like a past dev we had that created an absolute shitton of mineable asteroids in a location that wasn't easy to find if you didn't know about it. We discovered this after the sheer number of roids caused it to impact the sector's performance. That became apparent from the logs, and that person was removed, which led to us adding a tag when a GM creates an item that we can see, which will tell us if they're doing bad things or creating a lot of items. A GM deciding to transfer a piece of loot is reasonable to me as long as they've heard everyone's side involved first. They call them game masters for a reason. They are allowed to do anything except directly abuse players/break the code of conduct, shut down the game server, or run dev-level commands that are beyond them. I would also note that this isn't just something we would generally do because a player requested it, and this person is no different, presumably. It also leaves a trail as above, so I would be able to trace a pattern if I had to. This being said, you all have the option to ignore each other if the dislike is that intense; this shouldn't require a staff intervention in terms of banning someone based on what I'm seeing here. Still, I would also point out that we keep notes on folks' accounts when things are reported, so we can get an accurate idea of what people are doing and whether they deserve it. Since it's such a relatively small community and no one pays subs or gets paid (on the 'staff' side), we give quite a lot more leeway when it comes to basic infractions. For someone to be banned, they must have a serious history, and even then, it's usually a temporary ban; we don't permanently ban anyone without a compelling reason. Lot of words short to say, if someone wants to explain to me why the GM giving loot was an abuse, then i'm happy to hear it, but I can only read so much of this thread cause it's mostly attacks against each other and I'm not going to crawl back to ancient logs (2+ weeks) to try to figure out who's being untruthful and who isn't. If someone has gathered the trigger, for the most part, I would agree that they should get the say on where the loot goes. For a situation where things have been agreed upon up front and by all attendees, if you feel like some ninja looting went down, then you can try to handle it among yourselves or open a ticket where we can look into it. I would warn you that, because staff time is limited, this option may mean a wait and not instant service. I would also warn several of you reading this thread that you need to be sure you're familiar with the rules, as these forums still qualify to be under them. You can communicate somewhat like adults, I'm sure.
  74. The Trigger came from Merv who got the bastion. You just defeated your own argument by saying the trigger holder gets 1 item. He got the item he used the trigger for. You got a 125 FOTM. If you read the thread Code Called out me for being in Stark and said and I quote " You have no idea what you're talking about and you have no idea the kind of guild you've joined, but I'm sure you'll figure it out eventually." It was being Spaced and he wasn't able to warp and he looted it. It was moved to who it was supposed to go to.
  75. I wonder how many people he has helped get gear and build things to give away I know of some flingers and hellfire's. lots of things just handed out. And how brave of you all to sit behind your keyboard and monitor and call someone out. with out knowing the whole story. This was my Trigger I asked for the shield so that should have been it. And why is this happening 2 weeks after the raid was long gone and Woody Fixed the mistake for me.
  76. What I have found interesting in this thread is Code is getting his Guild attacked and members of it. Not once did he call your guild out by name. It was individuals addressing individual behavior. But you're sure quick to throw out his Guild by name. And attack everyone in his guild of being guilty of bad behavior. My gripe was about GM's abusing their powers by trading non tradeable items for players who are being unfair to other players. Meoff, I don't want your Face, I have my own, along with almost every other trigger in the game. Honestly, from the 2 raids in Cooper, how many ammo comps did me or JD get? 0 How many weapon comps? 0 Those should have been divided up equally to all participants in the raid. Along with all the other loot that you kept. You've mentioned one thing that I have received out of those 2 raids other than the FOTM (which I did NOT need). Ok, call it me burning the gap with you but it was you coming on MY SQUAD'S private discord channel, being rude, trying to tell me what to do, how you wanted me to play, etc. to the point I told you to leave. It is you that has initiated the issues we have. And if the GM's are supporting your methods by trading "nontradeable" items for you. The GM's are WRONG. And you say it wasn't your trigger so no comps? Every GOOD raid I have been on the trigger holder gets to choose one item if it drops. Everything else is usually rolled for, auctioned, divided up or agreed upon by all. This compensates for the participants time, ammo, skills, etc.. Just saying
  77. I am running win11 with no problems, when I loaded the game I made sure that all files in Enb folder and Net7 folder were run in admin mode.
  78. Yes, this confirms you're just as bad as you claim he is.
  79. *stink (or maybe you meant stank, hard to say) *you're
  80. Code, You staink of jealousy keep my name out of your mouth. Also your a complete fucking liar. Thanks, J
  81. He waited for 10 minutes try again. And if everyone slips up from time to time then meoff is also allowed. If you're not InCharge of enforcing the rules, then stop trying to get people banned from the game here. Play the game just like everyone else. If you don't like the guy ignore him and move along you seemed obsessed with him. That being said the guys I play with here daily are decent people. I'm these raids daily so yes, I know what I'm talking about, and I've been playing on here for a while now. I've had your guidies message me directly asking why I'm in the guild. It's none of their concern why I'm in this guild the amount of energy you guys choose to spend on this is beyond belief.
  82. Logging one character in to check if a trigger mob is up is NOT "interfering with a raid". He also promptly logged out again. Meoff brings an entire six pack in, shoots at mobs, loots corpses, etc. etc. He has blatantly attacked trigger mobs while other guilds are preparing to do a raid to the point that Woody has had to kick his characters offline. You have no idea what you're talking about and you have no idea the kind of guild you've joined, but I'm sure you'll figure it out eventually. Everyone slips up from time to time and I'm not saying we crucify someone for cursing once in New Player, but Meoff shows a total disregard for anyone and everything. He's dropped four f-bombs in this thread alone. This thread is officially R-rated! I'm not even saying I agree with the rules, but I know what they are, and I follow them. I encourage my guild members to do the same, but I'm also not in charge of enforcing the rules.
  83. Speaking of interfering with raids. There was an epic gamer setting in our GOBB raid yesterday doing the very thing you accused Meoff of doing. I've only ever seen this guy help other people and I've been here for a while. Like you said most people have him on ignore so why let it bother you? I just witnessed one of your own guildies curse in New Player Chat yesterday morning. Why is it ok for your guild to do that then you try to call out someone else?
  84. Good morning guys, I installed the same 2 files in an old laptop running Windows 7. It works. No errors no freezes. The problem that I have is probably Windows 11 and the new HP PC. Now I have to remember the map, how to navigate and places to go. Thank you for the help.
  85. It's truly a mystery how Meoff hasn't been permanently banned for his blatant disregard for rules and plain old decency. Name calling, ninja looting, interfering with other people's raids, scamming, trolling, cursing in public channels and the forums, disrespecting GMs, and just generally being obnoxious. I wonder how many people he's driven away from the game? I've witnessed an endless stream of this behavior since basically my first day in game. When will it finally be enough?
  86. Whoa, flashback to Live, reading the forums about the goings-on over in Andromeda, LOL.
  87. Mike, Cryless or crymore your choice wasn't my trigger, wasn't my rules. I can't give you comps from someone else's trigger. And, yes I have given you Flingers. If I give you a Face of the Tengu, will you shut the fuck up leave me alone, we didn't need more. I tired to bridge a gap you burnt with me by inviting you. See me in game and I'll give you a FACE, you a Epic Flamers can go get you a lousy fucking bastian. Done with this. 1st FB other was a lousy gate raid. I really suggest joing Epic Flamers you'll fit right in with your shitty ass attitude. @ Woody lock this. Thanks, J
  88. And to quote Meoff: "Yes I accidently looted the bastian then gave it to Merv after the fact, because he didn't get anything." Able to do everything else without lag and yet this one was an "accident" when already stated that was your full intention. SOLELY to go in and loot a Bastion for Merv.
  89. I did not want an FOTM and as a matter of fact I trashed a 110% FOTM just to upgrade since noone else wanted it. And as far as a dung flinger...none of my characters still have one. JD7 is the only one you gave a finger. And you didn't GIVE it to him. We did a raid and he rolled and WON it fairly after helping. I specifically told you Keese prior to the FB raid I would help for a roll chance on that Bastion. That's fine. GM's are wrong in transferring it. You should be stuck with it. I won't raid with you again. Had to kick you off our discord since you continually came in drunk and very rude. Bring up ores to me Keese and I can mention giving you comps and COMPLETE ONI devices and more also. You're going to do what you want and that is fine. I'll do what I want and that is also fine. And that is the 2nd FB raid without getting anything from them. JD7 was in the first one and can also attest he received NO loot for helping. Nimitz, I was ASKED by Keese to come because he said they needed one more. Don't act like I came out of pity for me. Was skeptical even going after the first FB experience and did not get disappointed, went just as typical. I would have been just as happy doing my own thing...which I will from this point on
  90. Check your local ip address on the net-7 launcher to ensure its the correct one, i have the issue where it pops a different one, I think its's my cell phone but i have to check it before i play every time
  91. Uninstall Net7Installer and then try this one and see if that works any better. Its the same installer, but it does not install itself to ProgramFiles directory. You can keep using your current game client under Program Files.
  92. I Follow the instructions; I uninstalled both Net-7 and Earth & Beyond using windows remove program app. I deleted Net-7 from %appdata%. I downloaded the Net7Installer, install it, then install enbd_demo. I started the game, and I was able to log and play two toons. Both got stacked somewhere and I was not able to shut down the stuck screens. I restarted the PC, I started the game again and I got the same error about the net_7 proxy. Did the undelete and reinstalled the game 3 times. Every time I start the game I get the error, and I pass the PW screen, I chouse a toon and then the game frieze at the map. It doesn't make any sense. I go through the same streps uninstalling, deleting, reinstalling from the same files, and I get the same error about the proxy. Im lost. I checked the windows security, no issues with the game. Please help.
  93. I was in this raid and that was not how this went down. We went in with the sole purpose to get Merv a bastion. Meoff was trying to float it and he was lagging and looted by accident. We brought wolf for the hell of it. He wasn't needed at all and only wanted a fury of the master and he got it. A 125% by the way. Matter of fact this raid he speaks of was weeks ago why is he just now saying something? Seems alittle fishy
  94. Mike, What the actual fucking fuck? You are literally joking right? We didn't even need you there, was just being curtious to bring you. You can give me back the mutiple Dung Flingers I have given you, not to mention all the Mars construction ores Yes I accidently looted the bastian then gave it to Merv after the fact, because he didn't get anything. You failed to mentioned we gave you a 125% FOTM. You fall down and hit your head? This is the second time you tried to pull some bullshit with me, will not be a third. Thanks, J
  95. That's the EA launcher, needs to be "C:\Program Files (x86)\Net-7\bin\LaunchNet7.exe" Hope this helps.
  96. This is the first time i have heard of this particular incidence let me know and include picture's and chat logs when you report it to me, If Keese/Meoff Et al reads this please when you loot something and need to give it to another player do a GM Ticket and submit it asap so we GM's can to the transfer. This is one my (Woodstock HGM)'s alternate Play (non GM account) .
  97. Sorry to hear this happened Wolf. Keese/Meoff is a known repeat offender and quite frankly most people just have him on ignore. That pretty much sums it up. If you are interested in raiding with an actual guild that has fair loot distribution check us out at: https://epicgamers.guildlaunch.com
  98. I am reporting player potentially using GM's to abuse their powers for his advantage. I went on a FB raid with Keese and company. I informed him I would join the raid but I wanted to have a chance to roll on the level 9 Invincible Bastion if it dropped. Indeed it did drop and Keese looted it instead of offering a roll. He said he was going to get a GM to transfer it to another player he knew who needed it. This is pure BS if it happens. If the item is non tradeable then he is STUCK with it if he takes it. He knew what he was doing when he looted it. I hope GM's aren't using their powers to help screw other players!!!!!! IMHO if he can get a GM to give it to another player then I should be able to get a GM to give me the one I should have had a chance at. Neither is right!!!!! But if one is right then BOTH are. So if any of the GM's have done this then it MUST stop since it is being used abusively to cheat other players. And I will not be doing another raid with him. 2x I have done a FB and have received NOTHING for helping. One of the times a guildie of mine was also there and got nothing. No ammo comps, no items..NOTHING...So it rubs even more raw if GM's are helping this lying cheating scamming player.
  99. I don't know what .castanet is but I don't think you need it, I would uninstall that. It looks like you're using the wrong launcher. You need to run Launch Net-7.
  100. Code, I forgot to add that after I reinstalled the Net-7_Install, I installed the .castnet. Do I have to install anything else?
  101. Hello Code, I followed your instructions, and I could open the log in window. The debug error still opens. After write the log in name and PW, the game tells me that the server is of line.
  102. PWs as in passwords? Net-7/Forum/Wiki Account: https://forum.enb-emulator.com/index.php?/settings/ Game Accounts: https://www.net-7.org/?#cpanel/av_settings or PWs as in Progen Warriors? lol
  103. heya, thanks alot Yeti for the help!
  104. Hi DrJeff, If you are able to login to the forums then you will be able to login to the Net-7.org site, from there navigate to the Account/Avatar Settings page. There you can reset/change and request a password reset assuming you still have access to the email you used for the forum registration.
  105. Hello friends! I played this emulator years ago, and have circled back to play again, getting myself up to speed with things and getting sort of stuck. It seems like I have several account logins for the game itself, but I do not remember any of their passwords. I have access to my net-7 login and to these forums, but I can't seem to get access to any of my accounts in-game. Please advise! ~ Dr. Jeff
  106. Thank you for your help. I got it running but have problems with PWs.
  107. https://net7wiki.bmsite.net/index.php?title=Troubleshooting#LaunchNet7_/_Net7Proxy_Issues
  108. I have an account, and I wanted to play this game again, I downloaded all the files from Net7 and install in a HP desktop PC running windows 11. I double click on the start Net7, the start window is on, I did the check for updates, reset updates. When click on Play, I get a debug window about Net7proxy being incompatible. Latest version is 2.45. Please help. Thank you.
  109. Yes and No, every now and then there is a recruitment drive by one or two of the bigger guilds, but being able to load 6 toons, most go without.
  110. Haven't head much on joining a guild. Is this more of a solo journey these days?
  111. My Mistake logged into my Alt account. Characters: Blackhawkte Blackhawkts Blackhawkpp
  112. Hello everyone, just like in my earlier post. I'm return to EnB after 20 years. Loving it so far, but now I'm looking for some community. Is there a guild recruiting? I'm on Pacific Standard time in American. I have a TE as my main, TS, and PP. I'm active most days, and i'm willing to help where I can.
  113. Can enter Shepard now, will see how server responds over next few hours. Thanks Kyp.
  114. All done.
  115. Will restart with new cert after work but had not been hearing from others (at this point). Still going on?
  116. Server not responding properly. Multiple attempts to gate into Shepard failing. Not sure about other sectors. Was in Shepard, when I logged in my TT it was in Fenris and I had never been to that sector, was in the station.
  117. Can you type the address where the color change program is looking for the ini file? I loaded game as per net7 protocols and enb protocols and your program cannot find the ini file My most amount of ini files are located in C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Earth & Beyond\Data\client\ini C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Earth & Beyond\Data\common Where the loading the game put them, so This program reads the registry to locate your E&B folder so if you don't have E&B properly installed, tough cookies. Am I not going to be able to use this program? Win 11 Pro. Ghostspectre version.
  118. <--Currently that only has ore fields in it, but there are DB tables for mobs as well. The biggest reason I never logged where all the mobs was the tedium of entering the data. The game client doesn't save mob hull/shield values. Every time you mouse-over the shield bar or click through the title area to get shield HP it sends a request to the server for the value, and it only displays it as long as it's visible. Once you mouse away/change, it is deleted. The same is true for damage. You can get *incoming* damage from a mob, but outgoing damage isn't logged anywhere. The best way to capture this data would be to modify how the game is launched such that you fit a second proxy in between the enbclient and the proxy server that can decrypt (the keys are known) the enbclient data, log the opcodes you care about (this is also known), and forward the data to the net7 proxy for actual gameplay. I have no interest in doing this. You could, of course, sit and manually enter everything. I'd rather run in traffic, personally.
  119. so i allways loved the map on http://enbmaps.de/ butt stil cant figuer out way they havent done this see attachment
  120. Just heads up folks, one more maintenance sometime tomorrow or Sunday as I need to update the SSL cert so everyone doesn't have a bad day soon.
  121. None that keep repeating. The most common ones I have visited are VT, Glenn, Freya, Carpenter and Pluto. Also a few freezes when gating and worm-holing.
  122. i see ppl here use /setcoler .. why not just use ebcolorconfig .. ass shown in picture, and attachment of the file .. much more easy, and it works... ebcolorconfig.zip
  123. Ok guys, Why not just use is the ebcolorconfig .. just copy paste to eb folder then u will get this show in picture under ebcolorconfig.zip
  124. Ok I'll try a full on maintenance either tonight or this weekend as time permits it. We'll see if this remediates it. Is it always specific sectors? The game server restart would usually fix something like that because it reloads everything from the database on start up.
  125. Enjoy sunrise. Just ask in-game, we tend to help as best as we can to get you goodies
  126. This macro was created by my son Ego using actools. Works as intended for me when I was leveling. The program AcTools is in the forum to download to use the macro. Charon L50 1280 V1.mac
  127. Hello everyone! I'm very excised! I've decided to return to EnB universal for the first time since the sunset in 2004, I was a beta player and attended the fan gatherings in San Jose for both events! This was my first MMO and my favorite game to play when I was in High School. I've known about the emulator for years but had a knot in my throat ever since losing my Terran Enforcer that I spent so many hours and sleepless nights building. I want to thank the developers and everyone else that put this emulator together! Can't wait to get back into this game Westen, Andromeda Galaxy Blackhawkte- Terran Enforcer Blackhawktt- Terran Trader
  128. Thank you, this guide is incredibly helpful
  129. I did a lot of testing for this particular thing (see link below). There are breakpoints and different situations that make jobs vs trade runs make sense. Whether you have negotiate or not, whether you're leveling 1 character or several. Or even if someone else is trying to use the job terminal besides you. Right now, if 2 people are trying to do the same jobs...trade runs are faster XP. https://net7wiki.bmsite.net/index.php?title=Jobs#Trade_Jobs I also made an autohotkey setup for multiboxing the FN-NV trade run, because it's so tedious.
  130. Charon Terminal Explore Runs, 6 at a time 1 map each direction. you get Explore XP and Trade XP. Can start them at OL 35 (Level 50 Jobs) VT Terminal Explore Runs, from VT to Mus. VT explore runs at OL 60 (Level 75 Jobs) When Explore xp and/or Trade xp hits 50, 1/2 the xp goes to what is not at 50. Hope this info helps.
  131. I am home now, getting my control center booted up and updated, OH Great have a monitor go dead, time to order a replacement (sigh) if it isn't one thing its another, thanks Spa. I have to work any tickets and any Forum posts that require me to respond
  132. still cannot stay "not hung" logged in. max time logged in not hung is about 4 minutes multiple issues as well, all accounts / toons affected on 5 different pc's, WIN-7, WIN-10, WIN-11 no difference, I have restarted all my network components and pc's the most resent "server" or component restart did not clear any issues I AM having, not sure about others
  133. Just curious since I've been gone so long, what's the most efficient way to gain trade and exploration experience? I'm doing trade runs and exploring sectors I haven't been to, but I suspect the one is just the easy way to make trade xp, and the other will eventually dry up when there's nothing left to explore. I don't care if it's something that costs me money, either. Trade runs bring in reliable income but I can make money, I'm looking for experience. Thanks for any info
  134. Skin looking good, no signs of infection. Show pics in a week, compare the skin colour along the scar. Miss my time working on the Surgery Ward up in Darwin Hospital.
  135. Just logged in, game being rubber banding last few days. Still bouncing in Shepard, AK's gate and BBW. Crashing into sectors and freezing in loading screen.
  136. proactively restarted it, did not see anything unusual, only person that responded in game said something about hiccups but nobody else replied to confirm an issue. We'll see if that makes it better in this scenario.
  137. The beauty of it is, me either until I look—Schroedinger's game server. I'll see if it needs a restart or what's going on.
  138. The "server" is wacky atm. Of course not sure which of the 4 components needs attention but here are some OUR observations this afternoon: When the server nears or exceeds 20 players, toons get logged off. I can get a toon logged in, then a second one, but within minutes the first one is hung. Some can use the terminals and vendors, but their toon can't been seen by other toons. Then eventually hang Can only stay logged in for 3 - 5 minutes , TOPS , then the toon hangs. Thank you for your consideration. Batman
  139. believe me I want endure the pain of Therapy, if it means I can walk and drive again. on a note of levity I am having withdrawal symptoms from not playing EnB for so long and just sitting/laying here in bed, I should be discharged tomorrow and be home tomorrow evening, ($ hour drive each way to and from hospital (yes I do live in the boonies in California and quite away from the "big" cities. I will try to get in game at least in the GM Chat Tool to and the GMTools to work any tickets that are in the cue **************Beyond this point may cause stomach upset and revulsion pictures of my leg after several day when they changed the dressings, leg2. Leg 1 was taken this morning when doctor came and removed the last drain not far up my leg from my ankle the top of the scar will be just above the right knee, as you can see when people in my family do things we tend to go overboard and go for r the max critical form the damage, lol. see you all soon.
  140. Yes, do stay safe. One thing to remember as you go forward is to make sure you do ALL of the therapy they give you to do. I have several friends that have had knee and hip replacements. Those that were religious about doing their therapy are by far the happiest with their outcomes. The two that didn't, are regretting their decisions now. Think Nike! Just Do It!!! Best of luck! Dusty/Redbeard
  141. *****Update****** Well the took all of the IV lines and catheter out so now I can get up and hobble around to building before I can leave. I am supposed to be discharged either Sunday or Monday so I could be in game either Monday or Tuesday. for the next few weeks my game time will be limited to a few hours a day but I will be working tickets first. but as I recover more I'll spend more time in game, so see you all in a few days.
  142. Different to my hip replacement and wifes knee replacement. Soon as we woke up the next morning the physiotherapists had us up and using our new parts. Nothing like being yelled at at 8am.
  143. I have used all three. JE is the best for mining. My choice is to use beams on the TS and PS, up to lvl 8 (Mars construction Beams) when I built them for mining. Call forward to remove points and add to Missiles or Projectiles, if and when using the TS or PS for combat. Each to their own I guess. Every one uses different strategies to get their enjoyment from the game. Powerdown works as good as cloak. TS, run away
  144. Thanks for keeping you us up to date Woody! Glad to hear you might be home soon, hopefully that pans out!
  145. Thanks everyone
  146. Agree with everything said above. JE is best miner, IMO, but the combat leveling is HARD playing solo. Hiding (cloak) is a JE's best offensive skill, LOL. I rate PS second. It's better in combat/more durable than the JE but (typically) uses projectile weps which require ammo which require cargo slots. Menace can indeed be hit or miss - and usually miss when you REALLY need it - but Powerdown has always been very effective for me. TS can't disappear and needs ammo; it can be built real fast but mining solo with no cloak or teleport skills can really suck.
  147. wish I had a working laptop here I am confined to the bed all day and night long and have a great opportunity to play the game for long periods. on a side note I might be home Sunday, Physical therapist had me get off bed into my wheelchair had drive around the build staying on this floor. primarily to judge my upper arm movement and strength. tomorrow is to make it to the door and back to the bed using the walker. the next day walking (hobbling) from bad to the nurses station and back with the nurse bringing the IV stand and another with my wheel chair if I have to stop and rest, if I do well they probably move my check time sooner, once the unplug my IV epidural from my back and the IV's from my arms (3) I will be one more step checked off to leave, I will check tickets after I get home and get adjusted and rest from the trip home I am in a brace to keep my leg straight for 6 weeks, because of this I have to sit in the back seat with my leg across the seat, we all know how the floor space is in cars made in the last 20 years, all I can say back seat in my car not at all comfortable. there is no way that am able to get in to the front seat I would have to recline the seat and sit on the head rest for the trip with my leg hanging over the end of the seat and against the glove boxes, LOL, well that all for this update.
  148. I recommend the JE as a starter explorer class it get better at explore 25 (if you have the skill points) you can unlock combat cloak and you will be able to cloak will your still moving.
  149. If you're trying to play solo, all of them are going to be miserable to play. If you want to mine, JE is king. TS is second, and PS lags far behind. PS *should* be good at combat, but field mobs are usually immune to menace and so the main key to a PS's survival doesn't work. JE combat is miserable. TS and PS combat isn't so bad. Still VERY slow without support.
  150. I'd like to give prospecting a try and don't have much experience with the Explorer classes. Would you recommend one as easier to play than the others?
  151. thanks guys. ******UPDATE******* I got wheeled down to surgery at 530 am, they did an epidural for the pain, plugged in the machines transferred me to the surgical table and cavemen the anesthetic which was just after 8 am I looked up at the clock, I woke up around 7pm my knee is extremely painful,wrapped tightly and reached to keep it aligned over all doing good Doctors said about a week to go before I go home and no weight bearing on my right foot, in about 6 weeks I should be start weight bearing and Walking using my right leg and foot. this hospital is nice only problem I have had is at night its either boiler room hot or freezing cold, I really wished I could have something more than an android tablet. so surgery went well, recovery is happening and boredom Has started to set in primarily due the pain meds, time for a nap.
  152. It should only require 1, but I don't expect to see this any time soon.
  153. My bad, forgot to add Devices OR Weapons OR Shields or Reactors. Editing post to reflect.
  154. Been saving skill points for this. Any updates? how many points should I revere for this?
  155. Have tried Codemonkeyx's install script now on both Linux Mint (with WINE pre-installed) and on Zorin (a fresh install with the script also handling the WINE install). Script worked fine on both of these (Ubuntu/Debian-derivative) distros. A couple of clicks to accept Net-7 patches and some yes/no selections at the end, but otherwise seamless. For your convenience, dear Readers, here again are the links you'll need: ENB Forum Thread: Unofficial Linux Install Script for the Net-7 Entertainment Inc. Earth & Beyond Emulator GitHub: enb-linux-installer Bearing in mind Windows 10 support ends in October 2025, surviving with ENB on Linux is indeed an option if your box isn't capable of running Windows 11. 🤗
  156. You guys are awesome!
  157. I started playing at the tail-end of Beta. Perhaps a month or so before it went live. When they pulled the plug on Live, I think I was a dozen skill points from maxing out my JD. I remember buying ten discounted retail boxes of the game to give myself Buddy-Codes for the 3 free SPs they gave. Now I wish I had kept some of those. Perhaps they'd be collector's items now.
  158. Should be back up. At any rate, bedtime for work. It let me in, The game server is working. If there's still an issue, let me know and I will investigate as soon as I can in the am.
  159. It is beyond my skill to heal, it needs Elvish medicine. (It powered off and isn't responding, checking with our host)
  160. Confirmed it happened to me also. Ill lock the thread till we are back up
  161. server just kicked everyone off and shows offline
  162. Your understanding is correct @garblesoup; you only need to do it for one build skill and it applies to all. The least expensive device is the Delphinus I IWS 1.
  163. Are you saying that you did 4K builds on EACH category? IME just doing the volume build on ONE thing is enough (and components don't count but then all PM comps are always 200%). So if the builder can build devices then the cheapest device (forget what it is at the moment) is the way to go for the initial volume build even if that char is going to focus on weps or something else. Again, that's just my experience and if I misinterpreted . . . but want to be clear to new(er) builders that might read this thread in the future.
  164. All I did was build 4k+ and then pull down for parts, rinse, repeat, on lvl 1 devices or weapons or shields or reactors. As mentioned, some lvl 7 devices takes a few builds to get 200%, but I would say 99% of the time is 200%
  165. Echoing everything @Sioux said above. I've used the 3K items built as my threshold and all my builders routinely hit 200% but there is the occasional *burp* that spits out one at less than that. In the interim, while waiting on building experience, IME using PM components vs store-bought in the build goes a long way to increasing the quality, too. As to the analyze aspect I don't know that there's any established correlation between build #'s and analyze success. Many have opined that doing the analyze at a terminal on a station with favorable faction for the character plays a role. I'm inclined to agree but have no objective data to offer up to support that.
  166. Is there a similar formula for successfully analyzing/deconstructing items?
  167. # of items manufactured (excluding ammunition and components). This wiki article will give you much more detail: https://net7wiki.bmsite.net/index.php?title=Ensuring_200%_quality_builds I've seen various post/articles proclaiming to "know the magic number" for 200% lvl 9 builds. I've seen 5000, 4000, 3000.... I can say my JD, who has never built 1 item was able to build a 200% lvl 9 beam after 3000 builds + relevant build devices. Clicked the button once and got a 200% beam. I would also say it's never guaranteed to be 200%, my JE (5000+ builds) recently popped out a 197% level 7 device.
  168. What helps increase the quality of items that I build? The skill of course, but do higher quality components help? I also heard something about building 4000 items increasing your quality level, is that true?
  169. Cool beans! I may come back to this when I repurpose this box down the road . . . gosh, thanks Microsoft, but I'm going to pass on tossing a perfectly functional PC in the trash heap just because it's too old (Haswell) for you. I had tinkered with Linux installs of some of the old games but it was a PITA and I didn't try real hard as I had working Win options so didn't HAVE to make it work on *nix. This looks much better, thanks for sharing.
  170. Thank you, that seems to have fixed all my problems. Much appreciated
  171. I will try this when I get home, thank you
  172. When you launch net 7, look for a "prototype Re-order" checkbox. It's probably unchecked. Check it and the weird bugs should go away. It needs to be a default at this point, but I guess they lost the source code to the net7 tool? *shrug*
  173. I just updates the client after several years away. I'm getting weird bugs in game, like the game will get stuck on the loading menu often when I try to dock or take a jump gate. I'll set a warp course and just keep going in a random direction at one of the nav points. Sometimes the game will be delayed and I won't be able to select a nav point for a minute and my warp and normal navigation will be offline. Conversations with npcs will take minutes to get a response. Should I just try reinstalling? Has anyone else experienced this?
  174. Is it possible? My C drive is an SSD, which is full
  175. There is now a better way to install enb in linux which (last time I checked) is pretty much single click. If someone is looking my net7patcher.exe, then sources and binary is available from https://gitlab.com/nimetu/net7patcher/-/releases Mono 6.8 runs it under linux just fine.
  176. Hi. So I finally got around to installing E&B on my linux install. This guide was good, but I want to take a stab at making it a bit more concise and accurate. I am on Manjaro (an arch distro). I'm going to assume you have steam setup to play games, as that seems to install a lot of dependencies on its own. Assumptions: sudo pacman -S wine-gecko winetricks wine-mono From the home page, download: eandb_demo.exe Net-7_Install.exe (Optional) CharacterStarshipCreator.exe We assume you downloaded all 2-3 of these to ~/Downloads openssl s_client -showcerts -connect sunrise.net-7.org:443 < /dev/null 2>&1 | sed -n '/-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----/,/-----END CERTIFICATE-----/p' > ~/sunrise.net-7.org.crt WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-enb winecfg Change the Windows Version to Windows XP E&B is a 32-bit game, so there's no real reason to include 64-bit anything. It also doesn't hurt. Click "ok" when done. WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-enb wine rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL "C:\windows\system32\inetcpl.cpl" Click on Content -> Certificates -> Trusted Root Certification Authorities -> Import Click 'Next' and go to ~/ and select sunrise.net-7.org.crt (for the new linux users, ~/ is your home directory, usually /home/<username>/) Click 'Next' & select Automatically select certificate store Click 'Next' & then 'Finish' & it should successfully import the certificate. Ok, Close, Ok. Ignore the Program Error screen (just close it). WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-enb wine ~/Downloads/eandb_demo.exe You can pick defaults for everything, or set a custom path, your call. I did all defaults. WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-enb wine ~/Downloads/Net-7_Install.exe You can pick defaults for everything, or set a custom path, your call. I did all defaults. (Optional) WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-enb wine ~/Downloads/CharacterStarshipCreator.exe WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-enb wine start "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\EA Games\\Earth & Beyond\\EBCONFIG\\E&BConfig.exe" Update the path to EBCONFIG if you didn't use default folders rm "~/.wine-end/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/EA GAMES/Earth & Beyond/Data/client/mixfiles/EB_Sizzle.bik" If you actually enjoy skipping that video every time...more power to you. vi ~/.wine-enb/system.reg Or use nano, or emacs, or Kate, or whatever else. vi is actually 'vim' on my system. but vi is faster to type. Search for 'LandLOD' Change the following entries under "Software\\Wow6432Node\\Westwood Studios\\Earth and Beyond\\Render" (this is the only place LandLOD should occur in the file) "LandPolyBudget"=dword:ffffffff "PolyBudget"=dword:ffffffff "StarBudget"=dword:ffffffff "TextureReduction"=dword:00000000 Note: I have no idea if changing LandLOD to a higher number does anything, I somewhat doubt it. Note: RenderDeviceWidth <--that is your game window width (so for 1920x1080, this would be 1920, in hex, so if it says 720, 720 is hex for 1920. Look up a hex to decimal convertor if your brain hurts) RenderDeviceHeight <--that is your game window height (so for 1920x1080, this would be the 1080 number. again, in hex. So 438 would be the number to expect here for 1080) Setting these here may help multiboxers, as all new clients will be initialized with the same window size. alternatively, you can write scripts to change window sizes between multi and single box modes. This is how my own autohotkey scripts change window size...by editing the registry. While here, scroll down a few entries and look at "Software\\Wow6432Node\\Westwood Studios\\Earth and Beyond\\Sound" Adjust the settings if you like. I find the default music/voice to be wayyy too loud, so I tend to turn them down a good bit. Any change here affects all clients. sound volume <--UI beeps/clicks, skill sounds, 'sound effects'. music volume <--what it says on the tin dialog volume <--station announcers, voice lines from NPCs, etc cinematic volume <-- Not sure. Maybe the sizzle video we deleted? Save and exit. On your desktop should be an icon for launching net7, click it. Alternatively: WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-enb wine start /unix ~/.wine-enb/drive_c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Net-7/bin/LaunchNet7.exe Ensure that when the patching window pops up, "Path" is C:\Program Files (something) and NOT /home/<username>. During first launch, ensure you check "Prototype Reorder" in the launcher! Failure to do so will result in many, many, weird bugs, crashes, and other crap. It should be on by default, but isn't for...god only knows why. Overall, very simple. I found the sidequest to try and get/use net7patcher completely unnecessary. I haven't tried to get my autohotkey scripts working yet, but I was able to start the game and log in.
  177. http://enbarsenal.com/ brought me to a page that was just adds / full screen "Your computer is infected" shenanigans
  178. Sorry to hear Woody, hopefully that's the worst of it and it's good news from here on out! What are the implications of the biopsy results? Are they going to have to do more during the surgery as a result? Any more follow-on treatment beyond the knee replacement? We'll all be here pulling for you, don't hesitate to reach out if there is anything we can help with around here so you can focus on getting back on your feet.
  179. *************** UPDATE************** the doctors office called me this morning to tell me the Biopsy results came in, It is as I feared, the cyst/tumor that weakened my knee joint bones so when I fell on they fractured, is Cancer, possibly a particle from my kidney cancer (2010) that remained in the shadows until it was found when i fractured my knee, So the plan is I will be resting at home until the 24th when i go check-in and do all of the pre-surgery labs and tests. with going in to surgery ay 5 am on the 25th. with me being there approximately 2 weeks, then home to recover and sleep from the pain meds. LOL.
  180. Spa

    EnB Travel Mate

    Found the thread that has the updated ini file, all good now EnBTravelMate.ini
  181. Don't overdo it, rest a lot AND take the DAMN meds. BTW drink lots and try to move when you can for little bits at a time, constipation will set in otherwise.
  182. ********* UPDATE************ well I am home now after 6 days confined to a bed at the UCSF orthopedic/oncology hospital, I have ultrasounds of both legs, a CT scan of legs, A Biopsy of my right knee, waiting for the lab results, probably gave a quart of blood for the lab vampires. and finally Friday night got an MRI was waiting since Tuesday after the biopsy to get,' now my surgery has been scheduled for April 25th showtime at 5 am, which means I have to go back on the 24th and check in and sleep there the night before the surgery, the surgeon said I am first inline and she will be replacing my whole knee joint, bottom of thigh bone and top of Tibia, move a couple of muscles to hold my patella in place, she said I literally destroyed my knee when I tripped and fell, I tried to log in on my win 11 laptop but didn't have enough of a signal to connect So I could not connect or get online. now that I am home I'll try and be online as much as I can be.

  183. Sigh. There needs to be a clinic on this topic. lol I used to multibox in live on an old XPS Dell laptop. Just opened 6 instances of the game, grouped up (took forever) and charged off to kill things using each little window to heal and recharge shields etc and of course, fire. LoL. And I loved the hell out of it. Now my laptop (Alienware MI8) won't give me a clean windowed game; can't get the mouse of of the window...damn frustrating. Not a lot of time to fool with settings right now, but soon I'll have lots more time.
  184. This is how long Ive been playing. I can remember the girls name but not the others.
  185. Just an update, the mobs around ABA asteroid AA-244 CL10 Strand Stealr, CL 13 Body Stealer) both drop all 3 head types now
  186. Started in Westwood's Beta, when game went live I had to wait for the game to be posted from England as none in Australia at the time. Was paying for my subscription and 2 others for guildies from Holland as they didn't have credit cards back then. Went thru till the end. Orange flashing just before turn off in Cooper. Started in the Alpha of this Emu. Was a tester for Evermore, checking MoBs and drop items and rates. Been playing off and on since. Keep coming back
  187. I've placed an order with a different company which only offers 11"x9" (which is honestly fine and should ensure a better result given the resolution of this art); here is the slightly modified art for the smaller size and aspect ratio: I'll keep you posted on how it goes!
  188. So I contacted the company I ordered this from (InkedGaming) to ask why my order was taking so long and they just canceled the order... soooo... I would avoid them.
  189. I didn't play Westwood's beta but the original live game was my first MMO, I still have the game box on my shelf after all this time. I had to use my aunty's credit card to order it and to pay for the subscription to play. I put far too many hours into the game back then. I loved playing my JE and ninja buffing random newbies with every device/shield/reactor slot I had before warping off in about a second leaving them wondering what just happened. Sure I may have had my grumbles about the emulators dev's direction/priorities from a users perspective, but I don't speak code so I don't know how complicated this stuff can be. I'm just thankful that there are enough people interested in E&B that a project like this can start and continue to keep running after more than 20 years.
  190. Not seeing any issues here. Admittedly it's the next day and all but show 56 online and was able to log in myself.
  191. We talked this out in-game and there were indeed some places on the wiki that were incorrectly showing the Dragon's Spite as having 40% turbo when it's in fact 33%. I corrected the erroneous pages on the wiki.
  192. Net-7 launcher says the server is up, but I get "Server Failed to respond to Login attempt".
  193. Everything i read on the Wiki says that the Dragon's Spite gives 40% weapons turbo. The PM one i have says it gives 33% turbo. Which is correct? Does anyone know for sure? Dusty / Redbeard
  194. I'm not at home, so it'll be a bit longer. It chose a poor time.
  195. Still down. Does anyone know why or when it will be back up?
  196. I concur- server down
  197. server appears to be offline.
  198. oh! my bad, removing post, sorry!
  199. We don't typically post the link here because spammers can and do trivially join this forum, then use that to join and spam the discord (and its users).
  200. P.S. that link seems to only be good for 7 days, so if it expires, bump this thread.
  201. That’s absolutely amazing. It’s a great game I’m looking forward to seeing everything again. Time to build a nasty Progen.. lol
  202. There are a significant number of us playing here that took the same route as you did. It was glorious then and it's just as grand now with the additions the devs have been able to bring to the EMU. The crew that put this together are truly amazing. We all owe them a huge debt of gratitude. Enjoy! Redbeard / Dusty
  203. The old days. I played this in Beta and then until it was shut down. Anyone else?
  204. Just FYI, this is not a qualifier for diagnosing this. About four different components can be involved in this, and it's not always the "server." What you all see as 'the server' is just an exe running on one of the boxes. At any rate, it should be fixed now.
  205. I have had my right hip replaced and now need right knee as well, my wife has had her right knee replaced and now on waiting list for her left knee. In Australia it is free under Medicare. Hope it goes well for you.
  206. Houston ? we have a problem .. The same indicators are present now, as the last time the server approached or exceeded 600 hours uptime . Buffs not shown in top right corner of display. Reactor and shield indicators are not current, thus not reliable. .. combat and mining are seriously compromised. Timers on reactors, engines, devices are not shown.... VERY, very difficult for combat. So yes please , the server needs to be restarted, IT is the problem for this issue. I've been playing this emu since it was in Stress Test 2 , so I kinda know whats up here. and.. to quote Pink Floyd ........... I've got electric light .. and I've got second sight I've got amazing, powers, of observation
  207. Thank you Zack man, yes I have Medical Insurance and a Secondary Insurance,
  208. Sorry for the vagueness, Zachman. As the other stated, we're no longer seeing buff icons in the upper right corner. Client stability is way down - I'm seeing an increase in crashes and hangs, along with delays in activating warp and skills. These are the exact same issues I have sen prior to the last two reboots.
  209. Job terminals are sporadic at best, devices do not have timers, and shield and reactor bars are no longer working properly, so you're basically blind to power and shields. Please reboot. Pretty please?
  210. Buffs not displaying, reactor bars sporadic (mostly not working), shield bars sporadic... confirmed by myself, guildies and many others reporting the same things in various chats. While I do not claim to understand the underlying issues, I know the last couple of restarts have been for these stated reasons and seem to rectify. Thanks Zackman
  211. Im very sorry to hear that Woodstock Without ANY doubt, this will be along(!) journey until you can say again "Oh..ya...the Knee...right, i remember...almost forgot alrdy...". Rehab/Physiotherapy, relapse and so on. So i SERIOUSLY wish you all the best and that it turns out very well for you at the end. Oh..btw....since i am german and dont know better; Do you have some kind of insurance/health care? I mean...we are not talking about $127,85 in total....
  212. Why...what happend? Whats not working? Care to explain? Before we restart the server we need to make sure there is a server problem.
  213. IDK how good of a programmer you are, but this is a very trivial program. I solved this problem for EVE: Online (which had 6000+ systems at the time) back when I was still an absolutely shit programmer during college. What you do is create 'pairs' of gates. A CSV with a 'from' and 'to' column would work. For Shepard, as an example, you'd have an entry like: Shepard, Carpenter Shepard, Grissom Carpenter, Shepard Grissom, Shepard Grissom, Black Beard's Wake Grissom, Planet Grissom Cooper, Grissom How you store that in memory is up to you. There are better and worse data structures, but eventually you end up with a loop that is something like: def findPath(starting_sector, end_sector, path=None): current_sector = starting_sector if path is None: path = [] path.append(starting_sector) if starting_sector == end_sector: return path if starting_sector not in graph: return None for neighbor in graph[starting_sector]: # path.copy() prevents revisiting sectors in the current path (preventing cycles) if neighbor not in path: result = findPath(neighbor, end_sector, path.copy()) if result: return result # If no path was found, return None return None Actually...that exact loop would work. This could be made into a commandline utility *very* easily. Like...20-30 minutes of work. Making a UI for it would take (me) a lot longer. It's not the most efficient or 'best' way. But maybe you can see how to expand it to include things like faction gates.
  214. Has anyone attempted to rebuild travel mate with the latest travel to the "new" sectors. I cannot make heads or tails from it. Tried e-mailing the player who made it, no reply and no source code.
  215. Seems like another server restart is needed. ☹️
  216. correct Birdfarm. **** UPDATE ***** had an MRI last Thursday had an appointment with Orthopedic surgeon to day, he said my knee is bad and he could fix it, if, it were not for the preset of a tumor in the area of the damage and extending in the joint area, he going to refer me to the UCSF orthopedic oncologist in San Francisco, Since I currently can not drive and my wife is a very nervous driver I will need to find an alternate way to get to the appointment and arrange for possible multiple over night stays, we shall see, I am in lots of pain my right hip hurts I think mostly from the effort of holding my right leg up a little bit off the floor when I am crutches and cant put any weight on leg, and from sleeping in weird positions so the I can curl up in a position that's mostly comfortable and is not putting weight or side to side movement on my knee joint, an almost impossible task, I will post more when I have more to post.
  217. The last reply before yours was 8 months ago so I'm not sure how relevant it is anymore. There have been updates to the repo where this came from in the intervening time thanks to @Zerodragoon which I incorporated back into the repo. What are you actually seeing when you try it? What isn't working? Make sure you are using the latest version from https://github.com/ciphersimian/enb-ahk/blob/master/multifire.ahk
  218. Bump, really trying to get this to work.
  219. Hello, I was curious to know about any future updates that could be discussed. I.e. Adding the V'rix items back to the game. Example: BL3ND3NGSTR3K2, CL45D2DM3RR4R,etc. Also was curious if Mjolnir would ever come back/be implemented. Any transparency would put my mind at ease on the matter. thank you
  220. "move the contents of the file" that was me saying to unzip it. But fair enough, it's subtle. As for the other error, that means PHP can't find/use sqlite. Googling around says you may need to edit php.ini and uncomment it, or maybe you need to download and install it? I am not really sure. It seems like the fix changed over the years, back in 2018 it wasn't a default, but it seems to have been included in newer releases? You're going to have to do a bit of googling around for that one. *normally* sqlite3 is turned on by default in PHP, so why xampp decided not to is...probably licensing.
  221. I tried using 7-zip, and it might have worked? but i get this error
  222. no index.html file in htdocs.....you never did say if i need to upzip or extract or do something with that .7z file.... the httpd config had - <IfModule dir_module> DirectoryIndex index.php index.pl index.cgi index.asp index.shtml index.html index.htm \ default.php default.pl default.cgi default.asp default.shtml default.html default.htm \ home.php home.pl home.cgi home.asp home.shtml home.html home.htm </IfModule> i erase all that and just make it <IfModule dir_module> DirectoryIndex index.php index.html </IfModule> ?
  223. As a note for phpinfo(); never, ever, put that in production. You're doing what it said, and that validates that PHP works, but in those 10 pages of info is a glut of information that can be used to haxxor a system. So...don't leave that around, unless you're 100% sure that your only listen interface is 127.0.0.1 :p It's rare that anyone mentions the massive security risk of that command and that it should only ever be used for testing. As for the quote...*asks chatGPT* 1. Is there an index.html file in C:\xampp\htdocs\ ? If so, apache serves .html files before .php, and that's probably why. Either remove it or do step 2. 2. if not, edit C:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf and change DirectoryIndex to look like below: DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
  224. plus about 7 more pages of info 😃
  225. 1 comment and 1 question for Doc. First, Step 6 will confuse the knuckledraggers like it did me. What should be offered is to create a new notepad txt document, copy/paste the info contents, then rename it as info.php. The statement...make a new file..threw me. I was like..i can make a new folder? Now for the question...everything went smoothly until step 7/8. I copied the contents of 4_28_backup.7z into C:\xampp\htdocs\ but nothing changes when i go to http://localhost/. It still shows the welcome to XAMPP dashboard. Do I need to unzip this perhaps? or close and re-open XAMPP? or something else entirely? P.S. The Test PHP step worked fine, was a screen full of very confusing techical information
  226. Gotcha. I replaced it w/ the new version. Yes, I love the 'Display Ore List' as well, helps me zero in once I picked the zone for one of the ores. You made a great tool!
  227. The forums use a global attachment limit. If you go to your profile (top-right of this page) and then to "my attachments" you'll see all of them. Delete/move some to free up space. Also, FWIW, the 'Display Ore List' button gives a list of all ores and where they are found sorted by most common to least common. I get that it's a lot of data, but browser find was good enough for me. When clicking on an ore in a sector, it will highlight (javascript blink) the roids in that field containing the ore, so you know which fields in that sector have that ore.
  228. Appreciate the thoughtful response! I didn't want to be running an Apache server constantly (or need to install it), so I plan to use it for my own branch of this w/ docker. I will keep any changes here. I have no interest in making money w/ this, but you made an awesome tool, and I just wanna help people add to it. I spent an hour or two learning PHP/JS enough to add a feature to find Sectors given an Ore name. I'm sure it could be improved by: 1. Adding a dropdown for possible ore names 2. Making the sector list linkable 3. Fuzzy matching (right now it has to be an exact match-- capitalized and everything) But unfortunately, it's not letting me attach more than 700kb anymore.. so I can't share here. I'm not sure how the other one attached successfully.
  229. I don't really like Docker. Not as a solution, not as a tool, not in any respect, to be honest. And I get the business proposition. I get the 'promise' of it. I've seen it work well. The reason I don't like it is philosophical. To bury the lead: I have no issue with *you* making and sharing a docker image. Have fun. I like learning how and why things work. I have hit a point in my life where learning new skills takes genuine effort. It almost feels like my brain is full. Or maybe I'm just going senile. idk. In spite of this, there are still things I want to learn, like laser welding. Or circuit design (mostly to automate little things, like you'd use an ESP32 or arduino for). If, in 2003, running a web server was as simple as 'pull this docker image' I would have never learned anything. If you make things too easy, people don't learn. I got so burned out and sick of co-workers who couldn't function without a venv or docker image provided to them. People utterly incapable of troubleshooting or thinking. It was my stick in the mud to make it obvious to everyone that these employees were worthless. I didn't care if I got punished instead of them. I won't lie. I won't perpetuate lies. I interviewed candidates that 'understood' technologies. But in reality, they just downloaded a docker container. They often had never even run the software. They had no clue how it functioned or why. I just...got tired of people not thinking. And I can write a literal novel of examples of the downstream effects of this. My dislike of docker is rooted in what it represents. I do like and respect selling 'ease of use'. For example, from a technical perspective, there's no reason you can't take a 1000nm (approx) fiber laser, shine it (low power) at a target material, read the back-scatter, and automatically setup the welding machine from that. You can't get spectroscopy from an electric arc ala TIG/MIG/Stick, but you can from a laser. Selling that would be huge. And fiddly, and prone to error on unclean surfaces. There's reasons nobody has done it. But if someone got it to work reliably and consistently, and most welders stopped knowing about metal properties or machine settings because someone sold a 'it just works' welder? Hey man, that's capitalism. You pay for everything you don't know. And I can live with that. I'm not really worried about *me* making money. I just don't want anyone else making it from my work. Nobody gets to sell my work and not cut me in on it. That's also why I don't like github (anymore, I was fine with it in the past). And since the TAM is so small, let's just not bother selling it period. I don't feel like divvying up dimes.
  230. Here's a dockerized version for you. LMK if you don't like this and wanna remove it. Just here to help. Doctor's ENB Maps This is simply a repackage of Doctor's EnB map web-app so it can run via Docker (locally) on whatever system (Windows, Linux, etc) you want. Step 1: Install Docker I personally use Docker Desktop on Windows. You can also use Docker Engine if for some reason you're not on Windows. Step 2: Extract the files Let's say you extract them to a folder called C:\enb_maps. Now open the command terminal and navigate to your folder. In the command prompt (assuming Windows): cd C:\enb_maps Step 3: Build the Docker Image Inside the enb_maps directory: docker build . -t enbmaps_by_doctor:v1 Step 4: Run the docker image Run it (you can change 8080 to 80 if you want to just type localhost in your browser): docker run -p 8080:80 --name enb_maps enbmaps_by_doctor:v1 Step 5: ??? Step 6: PROFIT Look at it on your browser: http://localhost:8080. Or if you instead replaced 8080 with 80, simply http://localhost. enb_maps_v2.7z
  231. Also, why not github? Are you concerned about liability from EA? I'd be happy to do a PR for this EDIT: Ok just saw this The code cannot be placed on github or any other site which intends to ingest the code into AI tools or otherwise monetize the code hosted there. Running your own git instance and hosting from there is fine. Honestly, I don't think there's much monetization opportunity here, but it's a crazy cool tool, and this would make it easy for us to help you w/ it. Are you against docker images too I guess?
  232. Have you ever considered bundling this all into a quick docker image? People could run this on windows or wherever in about 2 minutes as long as they installed Docker (free).
  233. k. I don't have Windows 10 to test with, but you have two paths: 1. Windows Subsystem for Linux 2. XAMPP (never used this, but chatgpt seems to think it's a good idea, and seems easier than IIS setup). if you go the XAMPP route, here's what to do according to chatGPT: Step-by-Step Guide: Download XAMPP: Visit the official XAMPP website. https://www.apachefriends.org/download.html Download the XAMPP installer for Windows. Install XAMPP: Run the downloaded installer (xampp-windows-x64-<version>-installer.exe). Follow the installation wizard: Choose the components you want to install. By default, the necessary components (Apache, PHP) are selected. Select an installation directory (the default is C:\xampp). Click "Next" and then "Install." Once the installation is complete, click "Finish." Launch the XAMPP Control Panel: Open the XAMPP Control Panel from the Start menu or the installation directory (C:\xampp\xampp-control.exe). In the control panel, you will see several modules (Apache, MySQL, etc.). Start the Apache Web Server: In the XAMPP Control Panel, click the "Start" button next to Apache to start the Apache web server. You should see the text “Apache started” in green in the XAMPP Control Panel. Check if Apache is Running: Open your web browser and go to http://localhost/. You should see the XAMPP welcome page if Apache is running properly. Test PHP: In the XAMPP installation directory, navigate to the htdocs folder (typically C:\xampp\htdocs). Create a new file named info.php in the htdocs folder. Add the following code to info.php: <?php phpinfo(); ?> Save the file and then open your browser. Go to http://localhost/info.php. If everything is set up correctly, you will see a page showing PHP configuration details. Copy the contents of 4_28_backup.7z into C:\xampp\htdocs\ Go to http://localhost and you should see the map in all its glory.
  234. ah...i'm running windows 10. but i have no idea how to host a webserver, so it sounds like i wont be able to look at the information...much sadness.
  235. I only cobbled some art assets together, cleaned it up a bit and posted that at the top of this thread: https://net7wiki.bmsite.net/images/9/94/XLGamingMousepad_Template.jpg You would then need to download that and go elsewhere to get it printed. I only ordered a single one as I'm not too sure how it will turn out (the resolution of the source images are not great) and I provided the link where I ordered it, but also not sure I recommend that since they are apparently over a month behind on processing orders. There are probably various other places you could get this printed like Cafe Press or similar. So just to be clear it's not like I'm producing a bunch of these for people as I'm not expecting a whole lot of interest and getting these custom printed is a bit pricey.
  236. At the bottom of the first post is a .7z file, inside that is 'better_map.db'. That's the actual DB. If you're asking for how to setup your own webserver to host it so you can view the DB contents in a web browser, I need to know what OS you are on to start with. If you're asking how to view the data without running your own webserver...you currently can't. Nobody that I'm aware of has hosted this for others. I don't host it myself for various reasons.
  237. Is it too late to get one or two?
  238. I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed , I know... How do I access the database?
  239. I'm a bit annoyed that I still haven't received this. I've ordered from this company several times in the past and never had an issue, but it seems they're having major production issues which their "AI agent" is still blaming on "holiday" orders: Just wanted to post this as full disclosure; you may want to find an alternative source if you want to get this printed on something!
  240. Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to make the world's first bionic man. Woodstock will be that man. Better than he was before. Better... stronger... faster.
  241. UPDATE I saw the orthopedic surgeon to day he's ordered a replacement Knee joint it appears I had an unknown issue in my right knee ( a cyst kind of like a sinkhole on the top of my tibia, he said sooner or later it would have fractured so when I fell on my knees I caused it to fracture and also caused more damage, so it not an easy fix but I will get a new knee out of it, this will possibly as early as this coming Monday Monday morning I have my pre surgery consultation and will find out more, I will post more Monday if I am able.
  242. @garblesoup I have no issue dealing with guarded fields..my issue is when 4 or 5 of them aggro, and they all respawn within 30 seconds of dying... i dont even have time to check the loot , let alone mine anything.
  243. Oh that sounds awful, I'm glad at least you were in the right place at the right time to get care. Hope all goes well and wish you a fast recovery.
  244. IME there's a number of 7/8/9 fields that are only moderately guarded at best. Regardless of race-type any miner going for 7+ ores should be able to fly a low sig ship plus good reactor/device combos that allow them to quickly drain each rock/cloud. Focusing on the same roid-types allows a field to be quickly cleared - and get the bonus - without running out of hold space; I routinely clear 2 fields and then some before filling up.
  245. wow...big time nerf...i used to toss old ones of lower quality becuase no one wanted them...my how things have changed!
  246. Hello, I recently reinstalled the game after months of not playing. None of my game accounts are showing up on the portal. How do I resync my game accounts with my email?
  247. So the tool is actually a 'website'. It's a bunch of PHP files and some javascript. If you've ever run any kind of web server (apache, nginx, etc) and served up PHP pages that's what is needed. The DB is sqlite, so PHP takes care of the DB layer for you. sqlite won't scale, so if you try to host it for 100s of people it wouldn't work. But uh (looks at player count) I don't think that's an issue. Anyway, once you get your web server and PHP setup (takes about 5 minutes) you can go to your web server and view the pages. As for how I made the screenshots, I was screen shotting a web browser. I just cropped the images. If the idea of running a website scares you because you might get haxxored then just run it on 127.0.0.1 and disable any 0.0.0.0/public IP listening. That will make the website only visible on your local PC. Can't attack a door that doesn't exist. If you're asking how I made the maps inside the web page, I believe I used a 2d canvas object (this is part of basic HTML5). Inside the DB, I recorded the Z-height of all the asteroids as well, so if someone who knows how to use 3D canvas objects/webGL/similar tech rocks up they could actually make a 3d map of all the sectors, so you could see which fields were, for example, +-30km vertically (Lagarto and Ceres come to mind). I mostly did that project as a way to make my first web 2.0 page (everything fully rendered via javascript, 0 full page refreshes). ChatGPT is a pretty good teacher, as I had 0 javascript experience prior to writing the javascript for that project. In all the mining I did for that tool, something like 30,000 asteroids, I found 3 AA devices, IIRC. 2 lvl 3s and 1 lvl 5. They are incredibly rare. I'd assume nerf bat, but I don't know.
  248. Ouch, that sounds very painful.. Get well soon Woody and wish you a quick recovery!
  249. AA devices do spawn, but are very rare. I know someone with a lot of dedication towards finding one did not find one in a LOT of time trying "The Grind" Best chances are after server reset. https://net7wiki.bmsite.net/index.php?title=AA_Guide
  250. also, having been mining for a bit now...do aa devices not spawn now? or just very rare now? back in 2015-2017 i'd find 1-2 a day....
  251. @Doctor the link posted was amazing...how do you generate the imgur pictures of the sites in a sector...the rings and clusters, ect
  252. It stores its config in an xml file that can be found in your ApplicationData folder, so should be in "C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\Net7Unlocker" It should contain a file called "settingsv2.xml" iirc. Inside it should have a settings called PathToNet7Launcher
  253. @Huron Do you know how to change the path in the net7multiclientunlocker? Mine is stuck in a loop and just disappears after I launch it like it is trying to launch something other than the net7client.
  254. If you're technically minded, I already did the step of mapping out every ore field in the game (at least, all of them that I could find using a box search of the entire sector; but keep in mind, sectors can be +-50km vertically, and I did NOT do a box search at the top/bottom of the box, so it's possible I missed some). You'll have to run it yourself as I don't host it anywhere, but the data exists, and can be displayed. You can even add to it and refine your own personal map of what is where. It does not have data about field guardians (but the DB schema does support adding that, with work needed to display that information in the UI). My notes about field guardians were put into the wiki (I think?) so between the wiki (on the sector pages; IE the page for Carp, Endriago, etc) and that mapping tool you should be able to find fields more worth your time. The problem with 7-8-9 fields is that they have too many ores to mine on a single cargo hold. You'll need a fleet to mine them unless you plan to cherry pick, but that's only going to get you a few ores. Also, have a poke in this thread: it has some goodies related to moving ores from your PS to your mules automatically (one button press to start it). It assumes/only works if you have one mule for certain level ranges of ores. Also, somewhere in my posts is a Python script I wrote that does the tedium of moving partial/full stacks of ore around to your vault characters. Saving you thousands of clicks on the net7 website. :)
  255. Unfortunately I don't think what you seek really exists. The good ore fields (i.e. 7-8-9) are guarded and that is by design. A PS should be able to use powerdown, gravity link, and menace effectively to mine and run.
  256. I've been away from the game for 7 years, and all the mining spots i used to enjoy have changed. Either the ore levels are different, or there are no ores at all, or there are mobs that spawn so repeatedly, i have no time to actually mine, just fight. I'm looking for some 7-8-9 locations without the never ending assault of 30 second respawns. Not looking to macro mine, just looking for something to enjoy while bored. P.S. I mine with a PS =).
  257. Sorry to hear about your injury Woody, wish you a speedy recovery.
  258. A couple weeks ago I tripped and fell on my right knee, What I didn't know is that I fractured my knee, on Sunday while in the shower I shift my weight from my left foot to my right foot while turning around and almost passed out from pain, on Tuesday I was at my allergy doctor and as I was going from pavement to raised sidewalk, I re-injured it, fell across the hood of my car in pain, using words I learned while in the navy, and a few other languages to vent my pain, I'm lucky my Primary care physician is in the same parking lot. I hobbled in on crutches, the receptionist placed my in the first free spot available to be seen, the doctor listened to my description of the events made an order for x-rays, which I immediately went and got, the staff at outpatient pavilion at local hospital expedited my path through the check in procedures as they could see me in pain, got the x-rays, the results came back to day I had a follow-up with my primary care doctor today, he read the results to me I had fractured my knee severely and will most likely need corrective surgery and a cast (joy of joys), but for the time being I am stuck in bed with pillows under my leg to hold it in a natural rest position, I cant get in the game for a bit, I am working updating a Laptop that I haven't used for a few years so that I can try and at least get any gm help tickets signed off and chat in game, well that's all for now more later when I have an update.
  259. I just went in to see how that might work and boy did I get a surprise. I chose my TT for the test. I didn't select a category. All I did was hit the Download Recipes in CSV format button. It gave me an excel spreadsheet with a complete list of every item DustyTT has the recipe for, from ammo to weapon barrel. The only odd thing it did was break down the components by each of the 9 subcategories. I know I'm not the builder many others are, but I was pleased to see that this one avatar has learned 1082 recipes. Dusty/Redbeard
  260. Glad to hear it! Yeah, the launcher/net7proxy seems to be trying to be too smart about network connections but not smart enough to do the right thing. It seems to get easily confused on systems (like your wife's) with multiple interfaces. It should be trying to connect to sunrise.net-7.org on each interface and selecting the one which works if it's going to try and be smart about interfaces / IP's at all, otherwise it should just send the packets and let the OS handle it.
  261. Logged in, as Woody says above - on recipes page, select category (example - Projectile Weapon), scroll down - you'll see "Download Recipes in CSV Format". This gives you a decent excel file with enough information for sorting (or printing - as specific to your request). Only drawback is you need to do it for each "Category" - still easy enough. Maybe this helps...
  262. not that I know of, but if you use the net-7.org website signed for the account you can see all of your avatars and all of the items in your cargo and vault, it also lists all of the items under recipes that you can build. if unsure if you can build an item use the database search and set the the "show only items..." to item i can build, if any of your avatars can build the item it will show their names
  263. Is there a way to print out a list of items an avatar is capable of building? Thanks, DustyTT
  264. And just like that...reading the post to clean up the many spelling and grammar errors...I noticed her machine had 2 ip's...192.168.56.1...which the Net7 launcher defaulted to...and 198.168.1.66...and wouldn't you know it. Everything works. Just like that. Thank you @Codemonkeyx!! I always knew the 56.1 address for other games we play together, never noticed the 1.66 one. My wife is especially grateful, being able to return to a game she's loved since 2004 and played on and off through the decades since.
  265. @Codemonkeyx Sorry it took so long to get back to this. So the wife is on a wired ethernet connection, going to the same router i connect to. She doesn't have any other machines linked to her PC(desktop/tower). She uses Windows Defender and Malware Bytes. I've tried connecting with one, then the other, then both off, no difference. The ipconfig for her system isthe top one, the ipconfig for my system is the bottom of the 2

  267. Sorry to hear as I know that's a huge hassle, but glad we found the problem! I also just updated that troubleshooting section with a few more things you could try from other people's experiences: Call T-Mobile and tell them you're a gamer that needs UDP and an Open NAT. Keep calling until you get someone who knows what you're talking about. Try switching from 5G to 4G LTE as it seems that UDP may only be blocked on 5G for some people. Use a VPN to bypass T-Mobile's restriction, e.g. ProtonVPN.
  268. This seems like a network problem of some kind, so I would continue to focus on what might be different about your wife's computer when compared to yours. Is she on wi-fi rather than a wired connection? Does her computer have multiple interfaces or complicated network configuration (like a laptop with both a wired, wireless, bluetooth, VPN, etc. connections)? Can you post the Win+R, cmd, ipconfig output from both computers? Is there any other security software running on her system aside from Windows Defender? Norton, McAfee, any kind of VPN, etc.
  269. well blow me down Thank You !!! this link gave me the answer I dreaded T-Mobile is blocking TCP to UDP switching. *tears* you have no idea how much this hurts me. I will be back after I find another internet provider. note: if you hear about someone blowing up a T-Mobile Corporate Building it wasn't me okay?
  270. i'm going to try uninstalling and re-installing the launcher and the client, see if that changes anything.
  271. I run win 11 after migrating from win 10, I have rarely had any issues installing and running the game everything runs the way its supposed to on my systems, So I am no sure what to say that could help you, we'll have to get more systems knowledgeable than me on this issue.
  272. @Woodstock HGM yeah, i made sure the IP matches. Had to look up how to find out what her local IP even was, but it matches. @Codemonkeyx I opened the ports for both net 7 tcp and udp, and for the client tcp and udp, made sure the IP matches, and made sure windows defender has net 7 and client whitelisted. Still no luck, I even turned off windows defender completely, it came back with "server failed to respond to login" instantly instead of waiting for 20-25 seconds like it normally does when the firewall is on. When i use the client directly, it goes to the correct login, if i give it bogus password for the account it knows instantly, but a correct password takes it to the galaxy map then freezes...very confusing =(. is it a windows 11 thing? do i need something beside NET 2.0?
  273. https://net7wiki.bmsite.net/index.php?title=Troubleshooting#Server_failed_to_respond_to_login_attempt
  274. Check the local IP address on the net-7 launcher it may be incorrect, I have that intermittently on one computer where the IP address is not correct when i start up.
  275. Well, things sure are interesting... Got my game re-installed, got net-7 launcher working smoothly, figured out how to recover passwords for my sub-accounts, played the game for a bit, everything smooth as glass...and then it happened...my wife saw me playing, and said..I love that game!! Install it on my PC too so I can play!! Calamity!! I use Windows 10 with Mozilla, she uses Windows 11 with Chrome...I don't understand why it won't work...but it won't work. Installed fine, ran the E&B config fine, updated Net-7 Launcher no issues. But when it's time to hit "PLAY" it pauses for 20-25 seconds then says "Server failed to respond to login attempt". I ran compatibility troubleshooter (win XP pack 3), I run it as administrator, I allowed the net 7 app and the launcher app both thru windows defender, I opened TCP and UDP ports 3500-3800 for client.exe as well as the launcher, I verified that the IP listed matches what is shown on the command line with ipconfig. Nothing gets past - Server failed to respond to login attempt. If i bypass the net-7 launcher, and run the client.exe directly from the 'release' folder, the game starts, Megan says hello, accepts my login info, and lets me pick between characters...but freezes at the galaxy map. Its not a provider issue, since i am connecting with the identical router. I'm stumped, and my wife has accused me of not wanting her to play now...SAVE ME!!!
  276. Is this still the correct address? Finally getting around to playing again and figure I should try and get ISBoxer working for anyone interested No: $ gethostip sunrise.net-7.org sunrise.net-7.org 216.219.87.147 D8DB5793
  277. Moving on to the next issue. Is there a discord that everyone uses for the server?
  278. Well, I feel silly. After poking around on Net-7 a little, I found that you can change the linked account password under the master account on the Avatar page. Maybe someday someone will benefit from this tidbit of info.
  279. Howdy, been a while since i played E&B. Upgraded from Win 7 way back and couldn't figure out how to make it go in Win 10. That seems to have been fixed now, got everything installed, graphics/resolution are fine...but i get to the Login page with Megan, and I'm stumped. I have many characters on the server, 5 of them level 150..across 4 'accounts'. They are all linked under a master account, and i can see all sorts of details about each one on the net-7 site..talents, ship equipment, factions..all of it. I can even see the names of which character is in which of the 4 accounts...but i cannot recall what password i used for any of the 4 back in 2016 when i last played...and I cannot find anyway to update or even ask for a forgotten password for those 4...my main account password works for net7 and this forum, but not for login. I really don't want to start over and lose all the time i put into those characters...what do I do?
  280. Is this still the correct address? Finally getting around to playing again and figure I should try and get ISBoxer working for anyone interested
  281. It may not be fixable, these models were clearly not intended to be used as player avatars and may not be setup properly for it. This is a bit of a gimmicky thing that I think is mostly for looks and perhaps this is the reason you don't see people using it much?
  282. The server reboot solved the reactor bar and buffs problem. However, the blackout of the monitors when i do an alt tab still persists. Does anyone have any thoughts on that issue? Thanks, Dusty
  283. We, the avatars , thinks this multiverse needs a restart . Time is not , not nOT . no ,, t working ~LunaticFringe~
  284. Curious to know how to fix a problem when I make a Megan toon. When I start the character in-game, she doesn't move correctly. She slides around without any normal movement. No walking animations or anything. How can I fix this?
  285. Server is getting a bit drunk (uptime). Several folks reporting the usual suspects... missing buff icons, reactor bar not working correctly. Probably time time for the magic button when y'all can. Appreciate y'all
  286. Might be related to long server up time. It happened to me a few months ago and was resolved with server restart. *edit - specifically to the reactor and buffs issue
  287. This whole problem started a couple weeks ago when I reset the game into windowed mode to see how that worked. I didn't like what I saw so i reset to full screen. Yes, I remembered to video test and apply. Since then when I alt+tab to change from window to window both of my monitor screens black out for 1-2 seconds before coming back on. That was the first problem. Today the reactor bar drains completely when I go into cloak mode. When i come out, it resets to full immediately. While in cloak mode I have no indication of what level of reactor power I have. Added to that, the buff indicators in the upper right corner of the screen no longer appear, or if one does it blinks out at the next action I take. I've reinstalled the game and the launcher twice and have restarted the comp multiple times, but to no avail. I'm beginning to think the comp itself is to blame, but I'm not ready to go there yet. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I can get on Discord to discuss if anyone wishes to explore this further with me. I'm still going to play, but I'll be wondering what weird thing will strike next. Thanks! You'll see me in game as Dusty.
  288. Update the path above as necessary if you installed it elsewhere.
  289. How do I add -noclassrestrictions on windows 11?
  290. Awesome! That link worked for me, thank you! Looking forward to giving these a listen.
  291. You're in luck! I still need to update the links in the old topic. 2017 music patch with ini file
  292. Added a section to the Troubleshooting page on the wiki for this: https://net7wiki.bmsite.net/index.php?title=Troubleshooting#LaunchNet7_-_Error_Could_not_launch_Net7Proxy
  293. Thank you! You were correct on both counts. I'm back in the game,tyvm.
  294. Check net7 path to see if net7proxy.exe is actually there or missing, then check antivirus logs to see if it deletes/quarantines net7proxy.

  297. As grateful I am for all the effort every one who had a hand in this games recreation, I have to say that it will never have the kind of community and passion it had originally. I will always cherish the memories of the people that helped me level up and shared with me. Most of all the fun of being on line taking me to a place that made me happy. That is what I will miss the most.
  298. Thanks for the information. I'll look into it and continue trying to "browbeat" T-Mobile into fixing the issue on their end...since apparently there might be something they can do if I just talk to the right person...I just have to call them instead of talking via chat (chat is just easier for me). But I'm determined...and I WILL get something figured out so I can play ENB because I miss it, and I love it, and it was my first ever online game and I'll be a monkey's uncle if someone's going to keep me from playing!!!! lmao I'll keep people posted on here as I find things out and if I find a solution to the issue, I'll DEFINITELY post it so that other people with T-Mobile Home Internet will know what to do and can have access to the game and not have to think they have to change their internet provider just to play...
  299. That's good information, you're not the first to have this problem. Unfortunately there is not much those of us here are going to be able to do to help you. This is something you're going to have to battle with T-Mobile over. More than likely UDP is being blocked on their end or in their equipment which is fairly proprietary. Did you find this thread? https://www.t-mobile.com/community/discussions/coverage-signal/network-blocking-udp/50788 Maybe something in there will help. @vrixy did you ever find a solution with your T-Mobile internet? I strongly suspect that T-Mobile is going to have to do this on their end, for example: https://www.t-mobile.com/community/discussions/troubleshooting/home-internet---open-ports-for-external-access/125641/replies/125664 You are going to just have to keep persisting with their tech support until you find one that can help. Just keep repeating that you need UDP access.
  300. So I went and did everything shown. AND, yes, I have T-Mobile Home Internet. I talked to them and they said I have to do my own UDP ports...so I'm not sure how to figure that out...if anyone can help with that it would be appreciated. I already added Net-7 to my Firewall as a UDP to see if that would help and it didn't...

  302. I installed the game correctly, patched it like it was supposed to be. Then I logged into the game, selected a character, and then my game seems to freeze at the loading screen on the way in. It won't go all the way into the game. I've looked around in the forum and can't seem to find a way to fix this and I don't know what to do. Any help would be appreciated. I am on an Alienware Laptop running Windows 11 Home 64 bit. I have run a performance check and try to run the game in full screen mode. Umzadi Mystical Knights Terran Trader
  303. I wanted to get a custom mouse pad made for my new EnB rig and created this cleaned up (levels adjusted, etc.) version of the in-game galaxy map with the logo, ship and race icons, etc. I figured I would post it here in case anyone else was interested in getting one! I'm not sure if this link will work for others, but this is what I'm getting with the above image applied: <link removed because this company has gone down the toilet> You might want to hold off on ordering one until I report back how mine turned out since this art is not very high resolution and I'm really pushing it to the limits to try and get decent print quality at 18"x16".
  304. I finally joined a guild and shortly after that I log in and see Megan and all my avatars but when it goes to the map screen it freezes. I have tried various combinations of the checked boxes in the launcher and different avatars after logging in to the character screen but always with the same result. The last time I was actually in game I was in an area I did not recognized and Woodstock told me to log off then back on and he would put my character in a different area. I don't know what to do, reload the game ? I have the original disc any help would be greatly appreciated *smiles*
  305. Unfortunately GM's have no Commands to Control or change Guild ranks or Guild leadership.
  306. Nice to see a post from Magoo, blast from the past (and thanks for all the help over the years). Apologies if this is a thread-jack but it's the same topic - I have multiple avatars in the guild "The Chosen" and our GL (Tore, Mori, etc.) hasn't been on in over a year. My char "Warsteiner" is the highest ranked char that's logged in within the last year. Is it possible to elevate that char to GL? Thanks for any feedback!
  307. If they are your accounts you can change your own password, using the game password change routine on the Net-7.org page under the account menu, avatar settings selection
  308. I gave up the guild years ago when I was doing the games artwork, and acting as a quasi dev. They didn't like me being a guild owner and being a gm/someone with more power, so I never got past that stage. I moved on in like 2014 or 2015, and left the game when it basically died. I have dropped in and made things for people over the years once in a while, and I have never expressed interest in the guild again. It's not mine and with jamoos screwing me over back in the day eve style. I wasn't willing to watch my guild die, so I left. I dunno who has the key's to the kingdom anymore, and I have access to the vaults unless the passwords were changed, they are my accounts after all, and if I need them changed I can contact a gm and have them changed so I can use them again. @kokushibyou
  309. FYI @Tradermagoo
  310. I don't know who's going to see this but here goes lol, i'm in builders inc and was in builders before the server was reset, i would like access to the builders inc vaults i had access to the vaults before the server was reset, magoo gave me the names and passwords for the vaults my TT had access his name was rhondoc i also had a PW called deputy if anyone remembers, i'm sure theres stuff in the vaults my chars could use, if anyone reads this and has access i would be grateful if you could message me please. taffy.
  311. Where did you have it installed when it did not work? and where did you install it to get it to work?
  312. Well, I'm not sure if you saw this already and fixed it, or if we just spoke too soon, or maybe someone killed it ~6 hours after restart or something, but it's suddenly up now, so false alarm, thanks if it was you!
  313. Hey @RedKite, I'm afraid that whatever happened after the last restart has happened again after yesterday's restart... still no Scavenger Drone ZX1 after 30 hours uptime. FWIW after whatever you did last time, it then started working normally again until the last restart so my guess is that it just needs to be made persistent so it works again after restarts as well. Thanks!
  314. So, That also didn't work. I ended up having to delete everything and starting all over again. This time I got it running but only after I installed to the default location. It seems it will not run from any location other than the default location. Not sure if there is a hard location somewhere in the code, preventing any other location on the drives. Thank you for your help!
  315. Sorry just forgot to respond, it is definitely there. Attached it though. authlogin.zip
  316. And as of this note maintenance should be complete for today unless I feel ambitious toward something else. In the meantime a few other chores to do. Enjoy.

  318. It's been fun relearning and all that, actually nice to see RL people in here occasionally as well. I'm sure there are posts for this question, but can i find a map or two, and are there any guides as to how to level up while grinding away at mining? or any other skill for that matter? thanks.
  319. Thanks for the updates and turning on the missions. Much appreciated!
  320. Just curious if you discovered anything out regarding the patching location.
  321. @Kyp Speaking of updates, I have a suggestion, would it be possible to point the in-game Game Manual and Knowledgebase browsers to the Net-7 Wiki? I know y'all are probably used to it by now and might not even think about it (that would be only human so I get it), but when you're coming back to the game it's actually a sad moment when its interactive parts like that don't load lol. Plus it might encourage more people to use and develop the wiki! (I didn't even know there was a wiki till I saw it in a Google search.) I really like how you guys repurposed the Galactic Net terminals btw!
  322. Server will come down for some overall maintenance on Sunday morning or afternoon and during that we'll make sure our events/holidays are also up to date for everyone to enjoy. Plan for at least an hour down just in case, but should hopefully be shorter.
  323. I don't see why it wouldn't if you had it elsewhere, I do not think it has any of your personal information or login related details either way, just has to be of a certain version and format. That said, it's odd if you reset updates and it's saying it cannot find that. That is available on the patching location I'm pretty much 100% certain but Ill double check this evening.
  324. Glad you all have worked it out. Ultimately at a high level the process is a couple of steps: 1) Install game client as administrator in Windows 2) Install universal installer 3) Register forum and net-7.org account, link them 4) use that account for logging into game, start launcher and point it to client.exe and not their default E&B.exe which was the original game patcher 5) work past any file issues with installations used, get into game and authenticate with that net-7.org/game account, get an orange handprint and play again. It's probably about time to update the universal installer so that it has a modern day installation to eliminate some of that noise.
  325. yep, I followed your advice from the earlier post, got that figured out, now i just need to relearn the game and how to do stuff. hAA thanks for the help. i need to go to bed and get some sleep. At least i got in. looking forward to playing later this weekend.
  326. The Config program is how you set up your resolution so the game doesn't run in a tiny window or look all pixelated.
  327. AWESOME!!! The end of a crappy installation journey, the beginning of a long overdue (much more fun) galactic journey. Earlier in this thread I mentioned a Config program. You can open that up through the Net-7 Launcher. At the top-left of the launcher, go to Tools > E&BConfig. See my instructions earlier in this thread for details (including if the Config program doesn't want to run, there's an easy fix). And when you're in the game, don't forget to go into Settings > Graphics, uncheck the default settings box, and slide everything except for gamma all the way to the right. You'll notice the difference! If you hate the controls, just go into Settings > Controls and at the bottom of the window set it to the FPS control scheme for much more modern and familiar controls.
  328. I had created two or three, but i didn't see until tonight that the passwords could only have numbers or letters, even though they were accepted here, i got into the game tonight though!! now it's just a matter of time with the learning curve all over again.
