Everybody's a dwarf !
« on: June 15, 2003, 09:55:48 am »
After a lot of downloading, compiling and troubleshooting I eventually got the Molecular Blue client to work on my linux from scratch. When I created my female elf I was quite surprised to see a dwarf in the screen where you can choose the color of the hair, of the skin, etc.
I was even more surprised when I logged in the game and saw that everybody looked like a dwarf. I discussed with other people and discovered that this was not normal... Do you have an idea of what is going on ?
Moreover I loose the connection quite frequently. Is this normal ?

Thanks in advance.

well, at the moment, there are only a few races that can actually be played, I forget what the actual selection is, but I\'m sure someone can tell you

But I chose a dermorian female that can be played. And every single player that I saw in the game was a dwarf...

I don\'t really know, have you used the updater?

no no, that can\'t be it. You can\'t run the previous version anymore.

Well, I followed acraig\'s build procedure :
-> revert to bison-1.35
-> got CS with the command \"cvs -z3 d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/crystal co -rPRE_THING_FACTORIES CS\"
-> got cel with \"cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/cel co -D 2003-05-16 cel\"
-> got planeshift with \"cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/planeshift co -rMB010 planeshift\"
-> then I built everything in the right order. The only difference is that I used the art directory from planeshift-0.2.010FullSourceAndArt.tar.gz (that I had previously downloaded but wich didn\'t work for me) instead of planeshift.tar.gz. I had to use the \"usual\" configure/make procedure instead of the jam based one for CS because the jam based one wouldn\'t accept my libpng... I used jam for the rest though.

So I think I have the right version...

You are using the art/models.zip file from cvs instead of the one from the big tar.gz file.  This is why everyone looks like a dwarf.
