Silkroad Online Forums

Hey, For some reason I keep getting the "can be used after the Legend 4.5 update" message when trying to launch the installer. I've tried the following: - Wine 1.1.20, 1.1.28 and 1.1.29 - Added 121.128.133.26 gwgt1.joymax.com, 121.128.133.27 gwgt2.joymax.com and 121.128.133.13 silkroadonli...

I think the persistent changes are mostly user data. The system mounts a second partition on the drive read/write so you can save data. It might allow you to save changes in other places, like /etc, but I think some of the files are generated on the fly. For example, it seems (without a lot of clos...

Yes CrunchBang is working nicely. The only issue I have with it is it doesn't save all of my configuration settings. This is most likely because of it being based on a LiveCD. I have the OS on a 2 gig thumbdrive, and SRO on a separate 4 gig thumbdrive. So I had to create an entry in /etc/fstab to a...

Hehe cool to see you keep working on it.
Crunchbag is a nice base (especially the Lite version) for that purpose, though it might be possible to go even deeper:

Np... Just curious, when you installed Ubuntu as dualboot, what installation option did you choose? Is it on the same disk as windows?

I'd redownload it from a torrent from within Ubuntu.

BTW, I'd turn Indexing off... too much of a performance hog for the benefits it brings. Windows 7 beta is just that, a beta, I wouldn't bother (besides, correct me if I'm wrong but there is a time limit on it, so a definite no-no for daily usage). Assuming it's genuine, keep your XP license for your...

Same file as you used for your windows install? If so, did you copy the client file to your Ubuntu partition first?

What version of Ubuntu and Wine are you using?
Where did you get the SRO installation file from?

I've been very interested in doing this lately. I tried it about 2 months ago using PendriveLinux. I already had PendriveLinux installed on a 2 gig thumb drive, so I configured it to automount a second USB drive (4GB) that contained the Silkroad files. It ran SLOW! I don't think I even got into the...

Hyphy: go to System > Administration > Language support, install Vietnamese and enable support for complex characters, that should do the trick Sovereign: SRO works fine in Wine with ATI, tested with fglrx 8.12 and Wine 1.1.12, there's only one minor annoyance, the game mouse cursor appears in some ...

Actually it looks like I don't even need to bother at all: Slax might have everything needed with its extra modules.

Ooh don't worry, if the project sees the light of day, I'll make sure you're among the first guinea pi... Ermmm I mean Beta Testers

The beef is the SRO installation really (takes 2.3 gigs here + 900 MB download).
A clean 4 GB stick would be enough I guess.

An idea, for now... Honestly, I'm merely an enthusiastic Linux user, not quite reached the stage where I can create a distribution from scratch but that could be a good reason to look into it. There are similar projects out there already, like this Live DVD to play quite a bunch of Linux games . Als...

Since there is a thread about running SRO through Wine in Ubuntu here , which has had quite a few views and replies, I was wondering: Who would like to have roughly the same, but on a bootable USB key? Here's how that would work: You get a stripped down GNU/Linux distribution on a USB stick, with Wi...

Hi, Nice guide, though a bit too simplistic IMO (then again that's the most straight forward method to start playing ASAP). I would like to mention that the latest release of Ubuntu (8.10, code name Intrepid Ibex) has an updated ATI binary driver available (the ones you install from the Proprietary ...

m (I've only done a quick seach om SRF, my apologies if it's old news.) Not much new for most of us, still nice to see more general public MMO-related websites getting aware of this. Also quite amazing that it took only 3 users answers for first signs of flamewar to show up. Or should I say, quite a...

The idea of an auction house is nice though:
- With the fairly recent addition of stall network, I don't see that happening in the near future (technically I would guess an auction house requires quite a bit of work)
- The spots freed up in the process would most probably be taken at once by bots

Nice explanation. Too bad it ends up in deaf ears, since those who should be concerned 1. don't read SRF or 2. won't understand or 3. won't care or 4. will probably not be bothered about the land owner complaining the grass is lacking as long as at least one shepherd pays the acre tax or 5. a mix of...

We trapped the entire city of Jangan last night. That is the solution. Yes and no. It may make a small dent in the bot companies' revenues and it's probably the only active way to interfere with their grinding, however it should not be the players' duty to do JM's work, while still paying them. The...

For those using Linux:
To set affinity, launch SRO, and check its PID.
Open a terminal and type:
taskset -cp 1 <SRO's PID>

You should get e.g.:
pid 8094's current affinity list: 0,1
pid 8094's new affinity list: 1

Done! (till you have to restart the client, that is)

Uh PureStr, arrows do drop on Euro side, just like bolts drop on Chinese side (guess you meant NPC merchants then?)

Then they'd better stick to freeware single player mario bros remakes. In those at least you don't have to pay to get lamers spoil your gaming experience.

There is something that could help a bit:

Yesterday I followed the instructions in there, and for the first time in a while, the game was actually playable. Not blazing responsive, but at least fairly enjoyable. I'd have to test some more to make sure it wasn't a one-time lucky draw.

Nope, I've had heavy lag ever since the Fortress War update as I said in the first post.

Why dont jm run that along another server Because that would make sense. Seriously though they might lack resources for it. Or will. Or they have no "carrot and stick" reason to do so. Player X downloads the patch. Player X complains that it takes too long. Player X still waits. Player X ...

The downloader is larger than the file... That's pure programming genius!
Edit: And the downloader still managed to fail here...
