Turns out we had several hours of downtime last night. And not just this Server did, but all servers that were virtualized on the same physical machine.
Why, you ask? Well, i did a backup and the “backup window” suddenly vanished which lead me into thinking it was over or something. And instead of waiting for an actual confirmation i just restarted the backup again. Shortly after that everything went down.
Oops!
In other news, i started my new internet-stupidity project:
Whenever i now watch a youtube video, i will put a stupid comment on it. Something totally unrelated. So yeah, keep an eye out for those comments of mine when you are on youtube!
After almost a year i decided to revive this blog. The main reason was that i finally got a new server which makes this blog a lot faster than before.
Now why did i leave you guys in the first place? (I doubt anyone still reads this anyways, but if you do, leave a comment! )
Well, on 1.10.2009 i had to leave for the mandatory army service in Germany and by now i extended my duty to 2 years. Meaning i still have a few months left there.
But yeah, i promise to update this blog more often from now on.
Here is some of what i’ve doen while i deserted all you guys:
Ok i just found out how to get wurm into xfire, it’s a hacky way and will not work 100%.
You can basically add any other game to xfire that way, but it’s a little bit more specific for wurm, since wurm doesn’t run on it’s own executable.
Note:
- Wurm will not show up as wurm, the name is not in.
- You will get statistics
- It bases on the javaw.exe
- you can record ingame footage.
Proof:
Here is how it goes:
1. Go to your java bin folder, example path:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin
2. Copy the javaw.exe and rename it to you_are_empty.exe (yes, seriously)
3. create an empty text file and turn it into a *.bat file, name it whatever you want.
4. Get process hacker
http://processhacker.sourceforge.net/
It’s open source, you can trust it.
5. Install process hacker, open it
6. Start an instance of wurm
7. Find the entry javaw.exe and double click it.
8. Copy the whole entry “Command Line” in the attributes window of the javaw.exe process
9. Paste this into the empty *.bat file you created, replace all entries of javaw.exe with you_are_empty.exe
10. save it, the java file should be in the bin folder of the java installation you are using. This is what you will use to start wurm in the future, so create a shortcut to it somewhere if you want.
11. Go to your xfire stuff and open the options.
12. Go to the games tab.
13. Find the game entry “you are empty” (Note: you can use any other game, as long as the game uses the Open GL renderer. If you want to do this, change the other steps according to what your common sense tells you.)
14. Click manual setup and write the path to your you_are_empty.exe in. It is C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin for me.
15. Should be working now. Start wurm over the batch file. If xfire gives you a “you_are_empty.exe not found in blahblah” error, you skipped some steps or did a typo.
