When running el I get very dark graphics. It look like there are no light sources in the scene. Looking in error_log.txt I think I have found the problem to be some missing data files. In particular I think it is the lack of skybox/skybox_defs.xml that is causing my graphics problem.

Sorry about that - missed a new directory in the data package.
I haven't played eternal lands for a while but now that 1.8.0 is out I gave it a try again. The shaders are still missing. I also wonder if something related to sounds and/or bows may be missing. I get the following in the error log: [17:55:44] el_open(): EXTENDED EXCEPTION(1:file_not_found): Can't find file ./shaders/water_fs.glsl in el_file at io/elfile.cpp (line 179) Last message repeated 3 times [17:55:44] el_open(): EXTENDED EXCEPTION(1:file_not_found): Can't find file ./shaders/reflectiv_water_fs.glsl in el_file at io/elfile.cpp (line 179) Last message repeated 3 times [17:55:44] el_open(): EXTENDED EXCEPTION(1:file_not_found): Can't find file ./shaders/water_fs.glsl in el_file at io/elfile.cpp (line 179) Last message repeated 3 times [17:55:44] el_open(): EXTENDED EXCEPTION(1:file_not_found): Can't find file ./shaders/reflectiv_water_fs.glsl in el_file at io/elfile.cpp (line 179) Last message repeated 3 times [17:55:44] Unknown sound (Bow In) in actor def: human female [17:55:44] Unknown sound (Bow Fire) in actor def: human female [17:55:44] Unknown sound (Bow Fire Out) in actor def: human female Then it goes on with lots of similar messages about unknown sounds, all related to bows or crossbows.
Hmm - didn't notice they added a shaders directory. You mention that they are "still" missing - I couldn't see any open bugs. Apologies if this was previously reported but not resolved. -r1 is in portage. As far as sound goes - that would be an upstream issue. The latest sound package they've released is installed. It hasn't changed in at least a year as far as I'm aware. Historically sound support for EL has tended to lag the rest of the game - I suspect that most people running EL don't have sound installed at all.
I can confirm that the shaders work in -r1. Thank you for the quick fix. Regarding "still": The original report in this bug contains the same error messages about the missing shaders. I never noticed that they were still missing after the bug was initially fixed. I guess because the bigger problem with no light was fixed. I stopped playing el soon after that, too. Now that I got back to el again I noticed that the water shader option didn't work and checked the error log. I searched bugzilla and found my old bug again.
Ok, I had assumed that the re-opened bug was the one from a few days ago when 1.8 came out. I didn't realize it was the one from last July. :) In any case, it was a very easy fix - thanks again for reporting.
