Re-installing the application may fix this problem."<br> <span style="font-weight: bold;">A</span>: You're missing the cygwin dlls. Please get the latest dll at: http://www.cygwin.com/snapshot. If you're unsure, asking around in our IRC chatroom will get you around too, but always remember - use common sense and search before asking.<br> <br> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Q</span>: My map-server won't load! It appears to be loading things before it dissapeared suddenly! HELP!<br> <span style="font-weight: bold;">A</span>: Use command line to load map-server. It should tell you the error. If you're missing a map, update your kRO Sakray or comment the map from map_athena.conf. If you have an errornous NPC, fix it or comment it off. Anything other than that, feel free to ask around.<br> <br> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Q</span>: My map-server failed to load 'adata.grf'! Where do I find this adata.grf? My map-server won't load without it!<br> <span style="font-weight: bold;">A</span>: The error that caused the map-server to not load is not the adata.grf. adata.grf is NOT a requirement for the map-server to load. The error is probably related to something else.<br> <br> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Q</span>: All 3 of the servers are loaded, but I am still having problems accessing it! What do I do?<br> <span style="font-weight: bold;">A</span>: First, check the IPs in map_athena.conf and char_athena.conf. If those are correct, check the ports to make sure they match. If that's correct too, you probably cannot handle the server load. Lower the monster spawning rate using mob_count in battle_athena.conf and it should be fine.<br> <br> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Q</span>: How do I start Guild Wars/War of Emperium??? HELP!!!<br> <span style="font-weight: bold;">A</span>: Read the GM Command page for full list of commands that GMs can use, including the command for this.<br> <br> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Q</span>: My Ragnarok Online crashed while playing with eAthena! What do I do now?<br> <span style="font-weight: bold;">A</span>: Well, if your Ragnarok crashes, it's most probably not anything to do with eAthena. Something is wrong with your Ragnarok installation. Try reinstalling or updating.<br> <br> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Q</span>: Is eAthena compatible with mySQL? Can I use mySQL as the DB instead of using text files?<br> <span style="font-weight: bold;">A</span>: Yes, eAthena is compatible with mySQL. A tutorial on how to setup this is coming soon.<br> <br> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Q</span>: Is eAthena compatible with msSQL? Can I use msSQL as the DB instead of using text files?<br> <span style="font-weight: bold;">A</span>: No, eAthena is not compatible with msSQL. You cannot use msSQL with eAthena.<br> <br> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Q</span>: I found a bug! Where do I report it?<br> <span style="font-weight: bold;">A</span>: Drop the developers a line at the IRC chatroom. Or just post it in the bug report forum. We check them out too. :)<br> <br> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Q</span>: I know alot of C and I'm able to help improve eAthena and add new features. How can I join your development team?<br> <span style="font-weight: bold;">A</span>: Try talking to one of the current developers in the eAthena channel.<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br> </span> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="18" background="./btmcontentbg.jpg" height="12" align="left"> <img src="./btmleftcontent.jpg" height="12" width="13"> </td> <td> <img src="./btmrightcontent.jpg" height="12 width="12"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td height="10"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="19" bgcolor="#E2F0E2"> © Content Copyright 2004 eAthena Development team<br> © Design Copyright 2004 Aria </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html>
