Line 16: : Please listen to the details which an NPC will tell you, or check your Travel log. Otherwise, you may need to use some thought or investigation by yourself or with friends to find the item. [http://stendhalgame.org/item/ our server website] may have some information to help you. ; I would like to learn more about the quests and don't mind spoilers, are they documented? : The travel Log (above) has a lot of information, and out of game, our [[~~StendhalQuest~~Stendhal Quest\| Stendhal Quests page]] may help you. ; I tried to enter a portal and it said I can't go down there, why? : Some portals are quest related and until you start the quest by talking with the right person, you can't go in. It can also be that your level restricting you. Line 35: :: Wait a week and request another creature :: Ask for help from friends and travel in a group :: Try a [[~~StendhalFAQ~~Stendhal FAQ#Death Match\|deathmatch]] (as the name suggests, this is dangerous, it is recommended to go with friends and take plenty of potions) == Creatures == Line 55: : If you want a specific person to take an item then you should use the trading guidelines above, even though it is not a 'trade' as such. ; How do I trade with an NPC? : Basic information like that is in the [[~~StendhalManual \|~~ Stendhal Manual]] - but start with keyword ''offer'' and then ''buy/sell item''. == Banking == Line 179: == Player vs Player == ; Is player killing allowed? : It is not forbidden, though there are some exceptions, the [[~~StendhalRuleSystem~~Stendhal ~~\| Rule System~~Rules]] will explain the details. ; What is the red skull next to some players? : It means they killed or helped kill another player. It's a warning to let others know. Line 232: == Passwords == ; How do I change my password? : You can change it by logging in at ~~http~~https://stendhalgame.org - see [[HowToChangeAccountPassword \| How to pick a new secure password and get it changed]] for more details. ; Help, I forgot my password! : Please create a new account (with a good and memorable password) and contact ''/support'' explaining that you forgot your old password, providing the original account name. An admin will try to contact you on the email address you specified when creating the original account. Line 252: == Admin == ; What is /support for? : Technical help, bug reports,. ~~but~~Please ~~not~~try ~~social~~to ~~problems~~find hints about quests in game or by asking other players. ; How do I know who the admins are? : Admins have yellow names. Also try <code>/adminlevel <playername></code> which will tell you the admin level of any player. Don't be surprised if you don't see many admins online, though - they don't need to idle around in game to answer /support queries and would often use a separate character for their admin character so that they can still role play with their player character. Line 281: ; Why isn't the Jail used a lot any more? : Instead of jailing, it's more likely that an account would now be temporarily suspended, if this was necessary for an investigation. Being in jail wasn't a very private experience, and there were some technical issues. ~~<span style = "color:grey">~~ ; I've been jailed, when will I be released? : When you were jailed the message told you how many minutes you were jailed for. If you are not sure please ask /support politely how long the sentence was for. Line 337 ⟶ 336: :* If you run from webstart or downloaded client :* What java version you have. In Linux, type <pre>java -version</pre> in a command line. Windows users, check [http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp?detect=jre&try=1 here]. ~~; How do I avoid going offline because of an Out Of Memory Error?~~ ~~: If you already start your client from a ''command line'' this is easy. You will be starting it like~~ ~~java -jar /path-to/stendhal-0.XX.jar~~ ~~: so replace this with~~ ~~java -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -Xmx200m -jar /path-to/stendhal-0.XX.jar~~ ~~: or a bit higher than 200MB if you have plenty memory.~~ : If the game does crash again with an out of memory error, a file ending with <code>.hprof</code> is created in the current directory, we would love to see this file to diagnose the error, so please join {{irc-arianne}} so that we can get it from you. ~~: If you use windows and you normally start stendhal by double clicking on the stendhal-0.XX.jar icon we have a bit of work to do. Open a text editor (NotePad will do) and paste in the line~~ ~~java -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -Xmx200m -jar stendhal-0.XX.jar~~ : then save this as a document called start.bat, in the same directory as the stendhal-0.XX.jar icon which you normally double click. Now to start the client you double click start.bat. You'll see a DOS prompt open and then the client will load as normal. If this hasn't worked the likely reason is that Windows is hiding your file extensions, so that your text file has been saved as start.bat.txt and isn't recognised as a batch file, and your client is only referred to as stendhal-0.XX as the .jar is hidden. Anyway, to fix this try one of the guides found by googling ''windows unhide file extensions'' such as [http://support.mfm.com/support/std_procedures/unhidefileextensions.html] for up to Windows XP and [http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/1269/vista_show_unhide_file_extensions/] for Vista. <small>Disclaimer: external sites are not our responsibility and are not necessarily tested, written or maintained by the Stendhal team. What you do to your own computer is your responsibility</small>. ~~; Everyone says the server is really lagging. We're getting 'instant replays'.~~ : If everyone from different areas in the world has the problem, it could be that the server needs a restart. It's likely some players have already requested it but if you don't see any of the admin/old players online then feel free to send a message to /support. (Server admin aren't around 24/7 so if there's a delay in getting it restarted that is why.) ; I am moving slow and having problems but the other players I ask are all fine/only a few players who are on the same side of the world as me had lags. What is wrong? : It could be that ~~[http://ping.eu/ your connection to the~~ host stendhalgame.org] is slow. Or it could be more generally that ~~[http://just-ping.com/index.php?vh=stendhalgame.org&c=&s=ping!~~ the connection of your area of the world to the server] has a slow link somewhere.

What should I do? : You can [[SubmitBug \| Submit a bug]] yourself, or if you want advice or help before you do this, ask <code>/support</code>. == Uncategorised == Line 379 ⟶ 366: ==See also== [[~~StendhalManual~~Stendhal Manual\|The Stendhal user manual]] *[[Stendhal \| Back to Stendhal main wiki page]] [[Category:Stendhal]][[Category:Stendhal Player's Guide]]
