</I>cut'n'paste from one of my previous emails :) :
        the client was exiting with a message in the logfile about
          being unable to load file &quot;data/&quot;. Managed to eventually track
          it down to some of the texture loading code in
          code/nel/src/3d/landscape.cpp. The loading of the diffuse 
          texturemap doesn't do a check for textName == &quot;&quot; though
          the loading of the alpha texture map does. Haven't worked   
          out yet why it's decided that the textName is &quot;&quot; (it's too
          late ;)). I modified the code to do a test for textName == &quot;&quot;
          and made it default to loading the CTextureCross texture.
If you still can't get it to work, give me an email and I can probably 
send you a patch. (This code itself looks like it's correct behaviour,
the problem is with whatever's feeding this with files to load. My 'fix'
is a workaround until i get the time to trace where it's getting fed
from. )
