  1. 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?!

    tl;dr - I thought EVE sucked.  :)

     

    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!"

  3. 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!  🙂

  4. 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!

    Hi Guys,

     

    Looks like the server maybe unresponsive/offline as I cannot access it via the client and net-7 site is not responding with the current players logged online. Would appreciate you having a look see please.

     

    All the best,

    Yeti(GM)

     

    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.

  6. Some more game media links:

    He's converted the original 800x600 resolution, 15 Frames per Second (fps) video into 1920x1080 at 30 fps!

    The higher quality that this clip has long deserved! Cat at the end of the video approves!

    Off the topic of ENB music, to my pleasant surprise I just discovered that someone long ago uploaded a video from Sunset Day on the old my old server, Orion! I even was able to spot one of my old guild-mates from The Dragoons in one of the raiding-party shots. You never know what you'll find poking around in YouTube's attic!

    And here's a playlist with literally hours of ENB footage (not a recommendation as to each of the 184 videos, just a link to the first one, so you can find the playlist somebody assembled from the efforts of a variety of YouTubers).

  7. 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?!"

  8. 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!

  9. 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!

    Thanks Exo, I added a link to net-7.org on there.

     

    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..

    Ok, was playing quite happily today, lost connection to the server, closed everything down. On reloading & choosing toon (multiple times), I either got stuck on loading screen & had to close the connection, or the game loaded, and I was onboard the TAS Support Cruiser in Neptune (my correct spot), but couldn't interact with anything (no NPC chats, unable to move cargo around the inventory, etc).  On the last attempted log-in, I now find myself in the middle of Paramis, with no RD faction...

     

    Toon - Hackett

     

    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:

    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.

     

  12. 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?

  13. 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?!?!

  14. 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.

  15. EPIC is still going strong, and there's a chance of finding guildies online at odd hours,
    as we have members from a number of different timezones around the world.

     

    Give us a shout in the 'New Players' chat channel, or the 'Local' channel when at OMP, if you'd like to join us!

    Hi i have the same problem today for many hours. I played yesterday and everything worked fine. But now i get the same message on the login screen ingame

     

    Hi Jalla, same for me as well.

    Maybe the server's containment protocols have failed and it's being attacked by the v'rix.

  17. Just a FYI, on noticing that winpcap (www.winpcap.org) is no longer being updated and that the developers are pointing people to a replacement called npcap (nmap.org/npcap/), I went and upgraded (on Windows 10). Noticed later that ENB refused to start (initial LaunchNet7 window appeared as usual, but susequently the game client wouldn't start or even play the intro video), throwing up the error message 'Server Failed to respond to Login attempt' - even though LaunchNet7 stated the server was online, and ENB started successfully on another computer.

     

    The npcap installation being the only significant change apart from the usual Microsoft hotfixes, I decided to unstall it to see if it might be the cause.
    Presto! ENB sprang back into life without any problem.

     

    Npcap has four options you can select when installing. I have performed a number of re-installations, selecting one different option each time. I've discovered that if you select the npcap installation option "Legacy loopback support for Nmap 7.80 and older", this feature will prevent ENB from starting up.

     

    ENB will run happily with npcap installed, just as long as you don't select the above Legacy Loopback option when installing it.

     

    Probably won't affect many people, but just thought I'd share here, just in case it helps save someone some frustration.
