Just lately started running a server to remember what its like and i came up with a few problems. Im using 3G files, with the second to newest Lovemir.exe. Im running job client with lovemir.exe

1. in eiserver.exe i constantly get 'Nil PEnvir' error
2. The game doesnt seem to save. I run it fine, shut down server, next time i run it im back where i was befor with all changes lost. (Thinking this may be down to lovemir.exe)

anyone got any ideas on why this happens and maybe how to fix them?

you answered yourself in your question. 3g files are for use with a client that uses the small type maps(euro mir) and since job client uses the large type maps then i'd say use a client suited to the smaller type maps. I'm sure demonic will correct me if i'm wrong, but from what i've read on the these forum thats pretty much the jist i get.

well. i first used euro maps with the 3G files. i still got the same no saving problem, but the PEnvir didnt appear.
The server files cant tell which maps your using, so using any client shouldnt make a difference at all.

Ok...

1st... About your PEnvir.. when i run my server i got this msg.. "Merchant Initalize fail... (m.PEnvir=nil) Spanish" ... whats happen here???... at the begining of the merchant.txt file.. you can see something like "; whatever you want etc etc" ... in my case i got something like ";LiquidSilver (C) 2005 / Spanish Mod Redemption Lords (C) 2005" ... because im making an special Spanish version, so... the little problem is the "/" ... if I remove "Spanish Mod Redemption Lords (C) 2005" then i wont get this error... so, try the same with your problem.. maybe it will work...


2nd...About your Saving problem... yes i got the same problems using LoveMir... but there is something important here... when you go out from the game, are you making a logout firsth?? or are you doing a simple Exit without logout?? ... because if you do a simple Exit you risk to lose some data....

Good Luck!!

thanks for the first point help, ill try that!

as for the saving error, i found out what it was. There are two dbsrv.exe's, one in mir3server folder, and the other in the root folder which is protected by that reg.exe
Iv always used the one in mir3server as i thought the other one was just another version (didnt think it wld b any beta). Last night i ran that dbsrv.exe instead and it seemed to save fine.
