Bug Report: Teledahn

[johnsojc]

I have seen text editors that will update as data is added to the end of the file but I wasn't sure whether the log files were locked. Windows text editors won't open a file that's already open (big surprise) and I haven't done any digging around in Uru files for a long time so I don't have all my old tools anymore... I've had about two or 3 computer replacements since then.

I did notice that the time since last seen and the number of times seen seems to be stored in the SDL file for Teledahn. Is that the one I have locally? Silly me does not have an SDL viewer program although I have source for one. Could the initial values be hosing up the works?

Thanks, I'd spotted that I needed a program to read .elf files. You say readelf, I'd found elfview - which is best for a non-tecchy person with Windows 7 and is there a safe site to download from?

[Wamduskasapa]

I have 6 different viewers, dating all the way back to Marack's creations and none of them will read the Gehn encrypted files. So don't feel like a stranger

[Tsar Hoikas]

According to the posted log, there's no bug, you're just having really bad luck.

[Deledrius]

PlasmaShop can view elfs.

[johnsojc]

I am using elfview on windows 7. I got this many years ago and have used it on URU:ABM and MOUL. Do not confuse this program with the Extremely Large File viewer. This is Encrypted Log File viewer, something completely different. I've been searching around but can't find it any more. If I come across a good link for it, I will post it. As posted above, PlasmaShop will read elf files but elfview is quick and dirty and easy to use.

heh. Just my luck... Thanks for the update.

[Wamduskasapa]

I do have 1 viewer that keeps asking for the MOUL/MQO encryption key before it will open the Gehn files.

Edit where do I locate this???

[janaba]

... I've just been thrown out and had to log in again ... I am very glad that
I'm used to copy long posts by habit, esp. on forums like the MOUL forums lol ...
Ok, here we go haha ...

Edit: OK, uploaded the elfviewer, please,download it here if you like ...

Interesting developments lol, thanks all for your contributions ...

I am using the elfviewer btw. but cannot provide a link to it ... I could upload it
though Plasma Shop may be more comfortable, the elf viewer even doesn't have
a search integrated lol ...

If anybody would be interested, those are my log data from my Shroomie visit yesterday
on the Minkata Shard ...

I am using elfview version 1.0.0.1 by Marack. I think I last got it in 2010 from one of the fan sites that has since disappeared from the world.

Janaba's elfview is Marack's version 1.0.0.1 just like I am using. LOL, I forgot about elfcrypt... never used it.

It looks like the routines are working on Gehn properly... I still wonder if the initial values in the SDL are keeping it from working the very first time. This would be the case of bad initial data rather than bad code. (Grasping at straws here...)
