this is the error i keep getting

[Kandarim]

delete gluegen-rt-* and jogl-all-* from ~/Salem/bin/ and try the launcher again.

So my crafting menu is gone on this client. For a while I could see some of the decorative parts of the upper part of the draggable menu in the bottom right corner, but not click on them. Now I can't even see those.

[Kandarim]

your windows.conf is messed up. Try editing it and removing the line of your crafting menu.
If you can't find it, deleting ~/Salem/windows.conf will result in a reset of all UI settings (i.e. window positions). This will be your last option, but it's a guaranteed fix.

Thanks, that was just the trick. I was at wits end.

Ok I'm a little confused as to why this is behaving like this.

When using the updater.jlnp/jar the client works just fine, but when I try to start it from lsalem.jar in the bin folder the client will start, but server will refuse connections.
I have added the github security exception to java and I'm using jdk-8u72 with all environment variables set up.

When I build the client myself from the repository I will get the gluegen-rt.dll error when trying lsalem.jar . I've deleted glugen-rt.jar and jogl-all.jar from the build folder only to now get a JNI error on JVM Launcher without any further details.

I do not want to go through the updater everytime I start the game and preferably I'd like to use the self built jar. Am I doing anything wrong? I can't figure it out for the life of me.

[Kandarim]

several things going wrong here. I'll just go through them one-by-one.

1) connection refused when simply using lsalem.jar

You need to pass the server to the client as a command line argument. If you're at the point were you want to compile it yourself, you probably don't need me to explain the following line:

Code: Select all

java -jar lsalem.jar -U http://game.salemthegame.com/res/ game.salemthegame.com

Notably, there's also a -d switch to the .jar that will show debugging information (OpenGL stuff and actual memory usage). See also first bit of the first post of this thread.

2) issues with gluegen-rt and jogl-all
OpenGL in java is a *****. For obvious reasons, gluegen-rt.jar and jogl-all.jar are required by the client as it references classes from those libraries. However, both of those libraries are also heavily dependent on native code. You can find the libraries I use for the jnlp linked here. Download the correct versions (note the 32-64 bit distinction: needs to match your Java runtime!). That should fix things on that regard.

That's solved my problems, thank you.
Native libraries in java weirdness aside, I now feel kinda stupid for not noticing the server path parameter in the command.
