Can't connect to my localhost server ( last release ), but other Server like Uthgrad works
I use the daocportal

You need the latest packetlib for 1.107 from SVN.

Here is a link to all the packet libs in the core. If you don't know how to build your own server then instead of recompiling just drop the packet lib you need into your scripts folder.

http://dolserver.svn.sourceforge.net/vi ... ts/Server/

That really depends.

It uses a constant in the core for client version.

We could always do away with these constants, or accept the int equivilent in the script.

It's really a shame DOL is structured in such a way that helping people do something simple is such a pain in the rear.

Soon you can grab the nightly build !

I followed the directions to play on a DOL server but so far its not working. What are some of the common problems and how can I fix it so I can play here?

1. Download Daoc Portal
2. Make sure you have .Net installed.
3. Download/patch Daoc to the latest live version (Can be done through the portal)
4. Pick a server, make up an account name and pw and press play.

This should work flawlessly, in case it doesn't we really need a better error description to help you further.

ok I had net but downloaded a newer version but that didn't help. I watched the youtube videos and when I get to the european link its completely different now so I can't use that. I have all the discs and have installed them and have been playing retail for 2 months and can play in the labyrinth of the minotaur but when I do a search for that name in my directories it comes up blank. I try to change the settings to EU instead of US but no longer am able to find where that is. When I click on play i get

Code: Select all

System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The system cannot find the file specified
at System.Diagnostics.Process.StartWithShellExecuteEx(ProcessStartInfo startInfo)
at System.Diagnostics.Process.Start()
at System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(ProcessStartInfo startInfo)
at System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(String fileName)
at DAoCPortal.Helpers.Support.OpenUrl(String url)

and also

Code: Select all

System.Exception: Your game directory is not a valid DAoC Installation. Please set the game directory to a proper DAoC directory!

In addition I keep getting

Code: Select all

The file camelot.exe was not found. Verify game path and try again.

All I know is I can play all parts of the game on retail and have the very latest patches so I can not understand how it is possible for it to not work on a dawn of light server.
I would like to use DOL but it really is much more difficult to set up then on a WoW private server. In any case I appreciate any help you can give me.

That error is pretty straight forward. You do not have a proper game directory configured in the portal. Go into the portal settings and click browse and point it to the correct directory that contains camelot.exe. You do not need to set it to EU anymore, it should be US always now. If you still can't find it on your hard drive, then find the shortcut on your desktop that you were using to play on live, right click it and go to properties and look at the directory it tells you there and use that same directory path in your portal settings.

[whamington]

Thanks for all the expert help. I was finally able to get it right! I'm in the game now

[tobz]

Given this thread, I'd say there needs to be work done in DAOCPortal for better error reporting. Showing native exceptions for not having the game directory set? Really? That's ridiculous.

The error is already handled. It must be something else.
