Cannot Play Game
I downloaded and installed the game today, but when I start it up, it says
Updating... news.txt (0%)
After a while, it says
The update process is incomplete. It is strongly recommended that you try again later. Callback aborted
The Play button also becomes active, but when I click it, I get the error:
ItemDB: Could not find items.xml!
What do I do?
Updating... news.txt (0%)

Re: Cannot Play Game
Just try later or download the updates manually.
Anyway updates download should hardly fail, are you maybe behind a proxy or this sort of stuff?

Re: Cannot Play Game
I get the same problem, i downloaded it yesterday night and tried it today, it began as Updating... news.txt (0%) and then after a while it jumped to about halfway and did exactly as eddy said, with the can't find items.xml and all.
EDIT: This was posted in FEBRUARY and there hasn't been a solution yet?
EDIT2: How stupid of me! After my years of playing moparscape, I should have realised... my firewall -.-

Re: Cannot Play Game
Did you manage to compile tmw under msys? If not then I guess this one does not belong to windows support.ryutenchi wrote:same problem, fresh svn/.autogen.sh/configure/make/make install... I have no firewall
Anyway can you browse to http://updates.themanaworld.org/news.txt ?
If so are you maybe behind a proxy/nat?

##3 Fast attack bug fixed, gameplay changes
##3 07/04/2008
##0 This weekend a fix was applied for the bug that
##0 allowed you to attack with light-speed with
##0 several weapons. We understand this changes
##0 gameplay quite a bit, and as a result the game
##0 will probably need to be adjusted. The existence
##0 of this bug has effectively prevented us from
##0 ever being able to balance the gameplay
##0 properly.
##0 Please stay with us and allow us some time to
##0 make the necessary adjustments. Suggestions are
##0 welcome!

Re: Cannot Play Game
Maybe your browser is using a proxy that the client doesn't know about? In that case you'd have to make sure to set appropriate proxy environment variables.TheFatal wrote:i can see the news in the explorer (firefox).
