Confused with Lich

[Drew]

Just followed the directions to get PSInet and Lich installed and now the wizard is acting very odd.

L or look isn't working. And psinet says it intercepted the stream but no psinet commands work.

This is not cool...

More weirdness:

You don't have a spell prepared!

You start to cry all over the place.

In case anyone else stumbles upon this problem, it's caused by using the new Lich, Psinet, the Wizard frontend, and not following the instructions. The new Lich always asks for an XML (Stormfront) stream from Simu. If Psinet thinks it's going to get a GSL (Wizard) stream and gets XML instead, it freaks out. That means you always have to pick Stormfront as your frontend in SGE when using both Lich and Psinet, so that Psinet expects XML. Then, if you want to use the Wizard, put a file named fake_stormfront.txt in your Lich directory, and Lich will start the Wizard, even though you picked Stormfront in the SGE.

Oooh, Tillmen schooled yo ass.

But seriously, I'm glad you got it figured out. That looks pretty scary LOL. But looks like it was solved pretty quick...
