HOW TO UPDATE TO 0.3.013
« on: February 25, 2006, 05:43:54 pm »
This post is about the Windows version, only.
Also, if you downloaded the new package, it\'s obviously not for you.


The updater is having issues self-updating... again.  You\'ll need to manually install the new version.  Download this:

http://www.psmirror.org/psupdater/updater1100.zip

Mirrors you can use if the above link fails:
http://planeshift.mirror.thumbnail.cz/psupdater/updater1100.zip
http://laanx.fragnetics.com/updater_hidden/updater1100.zip


Move that to and extract that into your PlaneShift folder (usually \"c:\\program files\\PlaneShift Crystal Blue\\\") overwriting older versions.  Run the updater, and it should all work.  (The updater will say it\'s version 1.1.0.0 if you did this all correctly.)  It seems the relit maps aren\'t up yet, so you will probably have to update again, later.  (big download)

(Note that since you\'re going to be changing files used by PS applications, you should have them closed when you do this.)

Please post any issues with this process here.

You only need to read down if you didn\'t understand this post.  For this problem, this is the solution.

Um... just go to it...  Open explorer, and goto the folder:  \"c:\\program files\\PlaneShift Crystal Blue\\\"  (by default)

Or go to My Computer, and Local Disk (C:), and then follow the names.

Ways to open explorer:
  • double-click My Computer, or any folder (you can do view->explorer bar->Folders, if you need the tree)
  • Press window+E
  • Click the link in the start menu
  • etc.
Yeah... ok, sorry.  I didn\'t know I\'d have to be this basic.

As I already said, that doesn\'t work.  You need this.

I updated my plain install, and it was borked.  I did what I listed above, and it works now.

Um... did you read this thread?  Running the updater is the smallest patch you\'re going to get.  You ~could~ download the new package, and it\'d probably be the simplest thing to do, but you can use the updater if you read the first post.

You ran the new updater afterwards?  Ok, then you have another issue.  What is the error?  (run with -console; that means you need to stick that switch on the end of the command; edit it by right-clicking on the link in your start menu, and clicking properties)

  • Extract zip into PS dir
  • Run updater
That didn\'t help you, so do this:
  • goto the PS link in your start menu, right-click on it and select properties
  • goto shortcut
  • for target, add the -console to the end
  • tell me what errors it pukes at you  (you\'ll need it in windowed mode)

I tried adding -console to the end and it told me that name wasn\'t valid.

If there aren\'t quotes already around the main path, add them.  Stick the switch after that.  Ex:

\"C:\\Program Files\\PlaneShift Crystal Blue\\psclient.exe\" -console

Please check the version of the updater, that it tells you at the top after loading.  It should say 1.1.0.0 at this point.
