Title: Easy QELServ Installer/Updater for Windows
Post by: Korrode on 2008-10-30 00:57 (Thu)
Once connected to the server, you will need to create a new character (any race) and you have to use your forum credentials (username and password).  The NPCs say so but I'll remind you: The attributes window is incorrect when it comes to cross attributes. Don't trust it. Use the #xattr command instead.

Also, remember that the attributes work very differently to Eternal Lands.
Details here: http://qelserv.quadronyx.org/QELServ/Attributes (http://qelserv.quadronyx.org/QELServ/Attributes)

If you have a normal, English install of Windows 2000, XP, Vista or 7 (incl. 64bit XP/Vista/7), this installer is all you need and will work fine.

(I really have no idea if this will work for non-English Windows installs... but it might)

This package will install (or update) QELServ data files in your user EL directory (i.e. My Documents\Eternal Lands), and put 3 QELServ icons on your desktop. ('QELServ', 'QELServ Test Server' and 'QELServ Development Server')
DO NOT run this 'as Administrator'.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
If you have EL installed anywhere other than "Program Files\Eternal Lands", the desktop icons will not work until you change their properties to reflect where you do have EL installed.
If you installed EL 'normally' (just kept clicking next during installation), you don't have to worry about this, it should 'just work' for you.

Click this link to download the installer:

Alternatively, if you run a different OS or know what you're doing and would rather place the QELServ files yourself, see here:

Installer v0.1-1 released.

EVERYONE should get this, as some ELM filenames have changed, and there is other new data as of today.

If people running Vista or non-English installs of Windows can test this and let me know if it works, it would be appreciated.

Installer v0.1-2 released.

Changelog:
  • "%PROGRAMFILES%" environment variable now used instead of a static "C:\Program Files" in the desktop icon targets, for better general compatibility and possibly better compatibility with non-English Windows installations.
  • Some minor wording changes in the information the installer batch presents.

Installer v0.2-2 released.

Changelog:
  • Some Windows Vista/7 compatibility fixes.
  • Fixed mapinfo.lst being installed to the wrong location. (If your client used to crash when you tried to bring up a tab map in QELServ, this should fix that)
------------------------------------

Installer to place QELServ servers.lst in EL root data area added in the hope that it will allow Windows Vista/7 users to connect... until I get around to fixing the normal installer for Vista/7.
