Line 343: : and restart pulseaudio. Usually it is enough to stop the old instance with :: <code>pulseaudio -k</code> == Accounts and Characters == ; X character has been inactive for an extended period of time. Can it be deleted so that I can claim the name? : In short, no. Every couple of years, we do delete characters and accounts, that meet ''all'' of these requirements: <blockquote> * inactive for more than one year * level 0 * less than 10 minutes online * have not visited more than 2 zones * do not own any items beside the default ones * have not been friended or ignored by anyone * there are no other remaining characters on the same account or accounts that might be related * not related to any kind of admin investigation </blockquote> : A good rule of thumb is, if the character name is not available, then the account has not met the above criteria and requests for deletion will be denied. == Uncategorised == ; What do the numbers on the character panel mean? How do I know my stats? : Please see the Stendhal manual entry for [[Stendhal_Manual/Gameplay#Levels_and_Stats\|levels and stats]] Line 352 ⟶ 369: : Stendhal requires Java (OpenJDK or Oracle), which is freely available, If you don't have it already you can install it. If you have any trouble see [[InstallingInLinux]]. ; Is Stendhal browser based? : Currently, the main client is a desktop application written in Java and must be downloaded to your local machine. ~~and~~It requires a [https://www.java.com/ Java Virtual Machine] to be installed in order to run. There is, however, an experimental web client for browsers in development, accessible by clicking the 'Play Now' button on the website. ; Where does Stendhal get installed then when I click on the 'Play now' button at the web site? : Stendhal is ~~not~~no longer installed via the 'Play Now' button. But rather it connects you to the web client. ; How can I start Stendhal from the download without the need to use my browser? : Double click on stendhal-starter.jar or type java -jar stendhal-starter.jar on a command window.
