Well, I have never played online before so I thought I would give it a try. I downloaded the .zip of Putty, did all the config stuff and connected to CAO via SSH. It was all going well, I chose the new user option put in a user name but when I am prompted for a password, I can't type anything. At that point, my keyboard seems to be disabled. Can anyone shed some light on this please?

The password is not being printed to the screen. This prevents anyone else looking at the screen from learning your password and logging in as you.

Now I feel dumb. Thank you very much. One more thing, I started playing, then saved and exited and when I continued that game this message came up: Lua error: Can't find "lua/pickup.lua"

Any ideas?

You need to edit your options file. To do this, press o if you are playing 0.10, or T then o if you are playing trunk. There should be a line 'lua_file = lua/pickup.lua'. You can either put a # in front of this line, or delete it.

edit: Leaving this line in your options file won't hurt anything, you just get an error message that does nothing except print a line to the message log.

Thanks. I'm curious as to what the error effects in-game?

EDIT: I just saw your edit lol

Nothing. It's a lua file that was used in older versions, but is no longer used. When the options file is loaded, it looks for the file but can't find it and gives you an error message, but nothing bad happens.
