That's not exactly germane to the conversation :)
Heather has the device and client she wants to be using, and the
question is whether or not she's able to get connected. Going into
technical tangents of what's possible with the device, while totally
cool (I'd be a lot more interested in a Braillenote touch if I could
load Linux on it), is not going to help her figure out why her current
client is refusing to enter text correctly.

side-loading tintin is rather easy.
For a real challenge, try installing gentoo and have it come up talking.

I redownloaded Nexus and changed the port back to 3010. But still got the same
"invalid name, try another" response when I tried Coralthewolf. And yes, that
is the correct spelling. So it looks
like my stay on Alter was a brief, but enjoyable, one. Thanks for all your help
Jude and John. I know I could sideload Tintin+ but I just don't feel
comfortable fiddling with files that I don't
understand; I'm not a coder.

I will change the port, but I can't use MushZ because I'm playing on an
Android notetaker. I prefer its perkins keyboard to any qwerty one.

The mixed-up characters you're talking about are ascii art. Change
your client to point to port 3010 and they will go away.
If possible, using mush-z is your best option for playing Alter
Aeon.

Thanks, Jude, I'll try that. Nexus hasn't been updated since September of 2023 and
all it said under what's new is cominterface fixes" whatever that means. I'll
try the re-install and
see what happens. If it works, fine. If not, Alter was fun while it lasted for
me. The rest of the machine and all other apps work beautifully. On Jun 18,

It's either sloppy coding on that client or the client's files got
corrupted. It may be useful to delete the client and download the client again
and then try the login
again with original character. If you get in, corruption happened and
admin maintainence may be in order for your machine. Antivirus and scandisk
while disconnected from
the internet. Jude <jdashiel at panix dot com> "There are four boxes to be

I haven't played Alter in about 6 months. When I tried to log on with my
character name, I got the message "invalid name, trx another". So I tried
logging into
their secure login portal on their site. This worked splendidly
and my account info looked just fine. So I went back to my client and tried to
re-create
Coralthewolf. I got the message "name is already in use" which of
course, it is. So the game itself clearly recognizes the character. But after closing the
app
completely for several hours I got the same "invalid name"
message, even though I know I'm typing it correctly. The only thing I can see that might
be strange
is that at the very bottom of the screen, within the client, are
quite a few lines of code: numbers, letters, quotes, question minks, and the
plus sign, in
several configurations. I have no idea what, if anything, it
means. The only understandable lines say Alter Aeon v2.25 or something like
that. Has this happened
to anyone else? Any ideas what's going on? Should I try to create
a new character and if that one logs in successfully, try to log it out and log
Coral io?
Thanks for any responses. Heather
