Hello,

I had the planeshift client and server built on window XP and they are both running fine. I have loaded all the maps also. I am able to add new users and doing most of the database stuff on MYSQL. I am able to go to different regions by using the command "teleport". However, when a new user logon and start the game, it always go the NPCroom frist and from there I have a hard time finding a way to go to any other regions. My questions are the following:

- Is the open source server code supposed to do just that at this stage?
- I also started the game in the official laanx server and you start differently in a different map. Is that a way to download the source code that is running the laanx server?
- How do I get out of the NPCroom (if there is a way) and go to a different sector/region/map?
- How do I start from a different map (other than NPCroom) as a new user? Is there any rule to control that (based on your character, etc)?
- Do I have to add codes myself for more quests, weapons, monsters and other stuff?
- Do you play the game differently with your own planeshift server?

Thanks in advance.
 

When I "spawn" after I loaded all the maps, I got the follwoing errors related to 'models' and 'mesh'. I think it may have something to do with why I always get the same character (stonebreaker).

I also realized that the 'cal3d' files are in characters.zip so I unzipped everything into a new directory (created)  c:\development\planeshift\models, rebuilt planeshift but still got the same errors.

What is VFS? (Is it Virtual File System?) and now I should have '/planeshift/models/enkim/enkim.cal3d' but why I still got the same errors? Please help.

Yes, I am talking about the NPC room. I have added all the 'sectors' into mysql and loaded all the maps using the console command "loadmap". Besides the compiling Guide, I have very little idea of anything else that I can do. Please tell me how to use the "teleport" command. I just want to be able to use the other maps. What I usually do is I use a command prompt to start up PS Server, run the script file to load up all the maps, then I launch the client to play.

c:\development\planeshift>psserver
    .
PS Server>exec /this/loadmaps.scr
    .
PS Server>spawn
    .
PS Server>ready

Thanks in advance.

I am trying to install the planeshift open source (both client and server) on an HP integrity box that I have. It is running redhat Linux on the Itanium 64 bit processor. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to get both client and server to run (or just the server) before I spend time to do it?

Thanks.

I am trying to build the open source Planeshift on my Windows XP system and having some problems.

I followed the build guide step by step until I was trying to download the Planeshift source (on CVSWIn). Apparently, it cannot connect to the server (error message is "A connection attempt failed....")

Here is what I have done so far. I am running MSVC version 7.1.

   - Set working directory to C:\development.
   - Installed CS Windows Libraries (cs-win32libs-0[1].99r0_021.exe).
   - Set Environment variables CRYSTAL and CEL.
   - Added “Include Files” reference and “Library Files” reference directories on MSVC.
   - Installed the cURL library.
   - Installed the WinCVS and TortoiseCVS client.
   - Installed MYSQL 5.0.
   - Downloaded Crystal Space (CS) source.
   - Downloaded Crystal Entity Layer (CEL) source.

Please help, thank you.
