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. 🤗

Magoo.. now that's a player-name from a fair while ago! I wonder if Tradermagoo is the same guy! BTW hiyas, Code!

Frank Klepacki appears to have changed the URL to his ENB music sometime during the last 11 months, by adding hyphens between the words "earth-and-beyond". The new link (current as at 9 August 2024) is: https://www.frankklepacki.com/ost/vg/earth-and-beyond "Go Beyond" (Ready! Steady! GO!) While not part of the original soundtrack, an instrumental piece many pilots from the "Live" era will remember is "Ready! Steady! Go!" by Paul Oakenfold. The track was released on his debut studio album, Bunkka, in 2002, the same year ENB went Live. It has featured in several video games, as well as in movies such as The Bourne Identity (Matt Damon/Franka Potente) and Collateral (Tom Cruise/Jamie Foxx/Jada Pinkett-Smith). However, due to an unknown ENBer choosing it as the backing track to his fan video, to this day I strongly associate this music with ENB! It's still on YouTube, in at least 2 places: 1 ) www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWZ9kYA-3Lc (posted 2006) 2) www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eb9iTZDbe0I (posted 2008)

Lol at least I've only got 3 levels done, not the full nine! I'll go over Levels 1, 2, and 3 again. I hate it when the placeholders are all changed to numbers though.. I have to go very slowly and carefully to make sure I am in the right column and updating the right category of number. I hate to be bothersome, but...... are the PLs fixed too?!

Hehe I hear you... several of us ENBers in The Dragoons guild reformed as a corporation in Eve, with me as the CEO. In the end, I found myself spending more and more time in our home station doing corp admin and inter-corp relations, while the rest of the guys were out in space actually doing stuff.. and creating more admin! One reviewer of the game resonated with me.. "Eve .. a second job you have to pay for!"

Bear in mind that a TE can't recharge his shield, nor patch his hull, nor cloak, nor whip out an impervious Psi-shield, and he's got less hull resistance than a PW (who also has the ability to recharge his shield to some extent). Each class has something really nice. Why can't us TE's have something really nice that we can share with a group?! It's not like we hog the benefit for just ourselves! 🙂

As a TE, I'm not at all keen on your nbr 2 idea, but the others are certainly interesting..!

Thanks to returning pilot Famicom earlier today in the Server Status thread, is the following link to: EVE Online | Down the Rabbit Hole The video was Posted 21 hours ago (on 1 Nov 2023), and already has 590,765 views! 598,741 views from the time I finished this post! Duration: 5 hours, 55 minutes, 12 seconds. One of the comments says this comprehensive documentary about the history of EVE took 2 years to create. Earth and Beyond makes an appearance at this timestamp: https://youtu.be/BCSeISYcoyI?t=3694 I thought I would re-post Famicom's link here, as any discussion should be kept out of the Server Status thread as each comment there will ping the server admin and drive him nuts if a conversation takes off!

The server seemed to be functioning normally for me, but when I tried logging another alt in, LaunchNet declared it was 'Offline".. there were 6 other toons (all not mine) logged in as well, a few minutes ago. Have logged off now, just in case stuff I do doesn't get saved.

Thanks Markemt - deselecting "Check for server certificate revocation" worked for me too. I was a little puzzled by the situation, as logins were failing on my Win10 computer, but on an old Win7 box I rarely use for ENB, logins worked fine. After doing your workaround and getting logged in on my Win10 machine, I looked at the settings on the Win7 PC and found the "Check for server certificate revocation" box IS ticked/checked — and logins were working without a hiccup. So this login issue seems to not affect ENB on Win7, but does affect ENB running on Win10 (and presumably Win11 too). Maybe these more modern O/Ses have tighter security.. Just my 2 cents, in case anyone with Win7 is saying "what are they all talking about?!"

Hey hey...looking good! Launcher app is giving a server status of "ONLINE-0"! I tried to log in but my password wasn't recognised... Are things not ready yet and I am trying to log in too soon? Sorry if I jumped the gun..

Currently listenting to: Earth and Beyond OST Music —it's only the Terran and Jenquai "wander" themes in this YouTube playlist (sorry, Progens), but it's helping fend off withdrawal symptoms!

Like JayHiking (above) I too would be happy to help if some extra hands are needed. I'm not much of a programmer (the wiki is more my speed), but if there's some necessary drudgery that needs doing that's been pushed aside by more high-level tasks, give me a shout, guys! Best cheers & huge appreciation for all your dedication to ENB!

Yay, net-7.org is back! Thanks guys!

Hi Devs! I'm sure you're all working hammer & tongs in your free time, trying to get ENB back online after moving to a new server, so I'm a bit hesitant to suggest this increase to your workload, but it's short and quick. It occurred to me that some folks might just go directly to the net-7.org web address and not think to check the Forum. My little suggestion is for a short default html file to be temporarily added to the web root folder, giving a brief one- or two-line announcement that the game is switching servers during Feb/Mar 2023 and will be back in a while; with perhaps a link to point people to the Forum. At the moment, net-7.org just displays a white page with the text "Error connecting to database 'Net7'" at the top. Best cheers & keep up the good work!

I've been playing "ping net-7.org"!

Good one, JR! I just popped over and gave it a 5-hugs rating... only us 2 so far.. If anyone else is reading this post, support ENB's rating on that site and add a hug, please! It looks like you don't have to log in.. just go to https://oldgamesdownload.com/earth-beyond/ and click on a heart icon! Am wondering if there's a sub-reddit for old games... I haven't logged in there for ages, but perhaps another avenue for raising awareness..

G'day there, Hackett! There is a special Forum topic that causes the server admin to get pinged (it's not for general chat, only server outages). I've already added an alert there, on page 52. As it's only just after midnight on the US west coast, hopefully Woody will see it, but I don't know if he has reboot access or not. Just FYI for the future, the server outage notiofication page is located in the Forum at: Home > Earth and Beyond Emulator Community Forums > General Discussion > SERVER STATUS (current) if somebody has already notified of a current problem (as I've just done) the etiquette is not to splatter the page with repeated messages, as it will ping the server admin repeatedly & drive him crazy.

Timestamp Mon 30 May 2022 London 830am - NY 3.30am - Central US 2.30am - LA 00.30am - Australia 5.30pm Strange things going on with server. Over the last half hour, in-game chat reported crashing, & unexpected hangs. I then noticed no more chat & my toon wouldn't move. Relogged and my control slot settings were back to default and my missions reloaded with messages appearing on centre screen.. flew around carp a bit and then ship became non-responsive again. On re-log at 48mins past the hour, was able to enter password but game froze on the galaxy-image "loading" picture. Server performance deteriorating rapidly... could we have a reboot, please?

Power-board with surge protection.. first thing that I plug in at the wall before any computer — well worth it! GL with the move, I feel for ya,,. That 'look at all the stuff' moment, followed by scratching your head at the new place and thinking.. how on earth did it all fit in the old place?!?!

Hi Gordo, You should be able to donate using Paypal even without a Paypal account - they have a feature where you can get them to make a payment for you and then bill your credit card, without even logging in, Because of your concerns about Paypal (in)security, I thought I'd mention that it's possiblte to create a credit card alias via https://privacy.com/ (which connects through to your real credit card) and then give that alias to Paypal. I haven't done it myself, but I'm guessing you could set up and use the alias once, wait for the donation to ENB to go through to your card account, and then cancel the privacy.com alias-card number so if the info at Paypal is compromised, your real card number can't be obtained from Paypal, the alias-number won't work any more anyway, and your real card number is safe (of course, as long as privacy.com is safe!) Privacy.com does display a number of logos of high-profile companies on their web page, implying support/approval of their services). Disclaimer: I have no connection to privacy.com, and don't receive anything for mentioning them.

The old claimjumper.info website from ENB's Live era (2002-2004) is available on the Internet Archive's 'Wayback Machine" website, at https://web.archive.org/web/20040806233215/http://www.frmug.org/~archer/eb/prospect/ Out of date for sure, but you never know, there might still be something of use in there perhaps!

Just found this thread, and saw the 11-year-old link to Xulei's Skydrive (now OneDrive) location no longer works. In September last year, I updated Xulei's map and posted it in the ENB Wiki in an article entitled "Maps and Charts". If you click on the thumbnail on that page, you'll see a medium-sized version, and click on that to get the full-sized one. For your convenience, I've added it here, too!

Wow, the server has gone down and people've started donating for something to do! We've levelled up from around the $650-mark to $910 in just the last few hours!
