#9078: Server help

by tailsfanatic on 09/18/2007 02:32

I was running a server fine, but I was continually updating it. It worked fine before, now all of a sudden when I try to make one the command line displays the message 'your server did not respond to ping - check your firewall settings.' I never changed my firewall settings before this happened. The only thing I changed was that I was using -lneonpanic at startup. But I stopped using that command and it still won't work.

Please Help

Okay, time to to bring out the statistics and calculus questions for the captcha. The spambots are getting too smart. :(

Though, think if we could harvest this trend for the common good: make them take the most difficult Turing test conceived, in hopes they catapult AI research centuries ahead.

Yes, AI research would really benefit. This board however would become deserted like sand around the Sarlacc. =D =D

Better AI could mean better bots.

One of the hard problems in chess is to make computers make human-like mistakes, after all!

Honestly, even if the bots are dropping in a random number, they're bound to get in eventually.

Hey! Here's an idea: Instead of using a bot readable font for the math puzzle, why not use a non-bot readable series of images instead? Seems to work for almost everyone else.

Just not the wavy unreadable stuff. please.

It says "Please move the directory containing Sauerbraten to a path that doesn't contain weird characters or start Sauerbraten manually."

But no matter where I move it, the message pops up. What do I do?

Sorry for the noobish question.

Change the name of the directory. Don't use anything but letters and numbers. If you've just gotta have a space, use the underscore instead.

Or we could have a set of simple questions: "Name the author of Cube." The odds of a bot getting that are astronomically low (and it may save us some time too).

So you're on a mac. You may have changed the directory structure - and the sauerbraten application requires that the sauerbaten folder is alongside it.

Recaptcha? http://recaptcha.net/

Decyphering old books has got to be worthwhile...

Ps. I was referring to game bots earlier. Make sure that any inteligence required to crack the captcha will be useful to the game!

#9091: LD_LIBRARY_PATH and Sauerbraten

by ancestral666 on 09/19/2007 16:47

Hi, I get a library loading error when I try to launch sauerbraten.

I am on a system where I can not access as root so I installed library I missed in ~/usr/lib.
In particular I put libSDL_image in that directory and then added the path to my LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable.

"It should work" I thought but it didn't...

What can I do guys?

thx a lot

I solved first problem (stupid mistake by me typing path)

But now I get an error really I don't understand and that many people reported:

################
[...]
could not load texture data/crosshair.png
could not find core textures
################

But I have libpng installed!

I must play this game

what can I do?

Go into the main sauerbraten directory and type ./sauerbraten_unix

Then you are, as it says, missing the Sauerbraten data files.

Building again libSDL_image from source solved the problem : ))
