Title: Updater up agian question?
Post by: RougeKran on January 16, 2005, 07:07:37 pm

The updater is working agian but then it says updating to another version of updater i think its version 1.0.2.3 but then it says it has to replace all old files with new dont do anything until you are told so press ok to continue I did this and ive been waiting over 30mins for it to tell me wat to do next, and that hasnt come up yet so my question is how long is it going to take to replace the old files with the new ones?

It shouldn\'t take long, and I can\'t think of any cases where it may fail except if you in some wierd way run out of space on the hd.

Post by: TobbeJ on January 16, 2005, 08:41:00 pm

first i checked update.zip in program directory and found that it was dated when i tried the updater and it failed.

then i unziped the updater.zip file to the same dir it was in (planeshift install dir)
that updated the updater and then i started it normaly and updated the rest of the files.

me and my comp illiterate self had serious problems trying to do what all TobbeJ had said, was over my head, too complicated for me.  Anyways, I found another solution.  I just removed the planeshift program, went back to where I had saved it when I downloaded it originally, ran the installer again, then the updater, boom it updated my updater from 1.0.2.1 right to 1.0.2.3 then started updating all those files. Worked like a charm. I never had the no text problem so I can\'t relate to that.

Altona,
I fixed the updater by doing the following:
1)Run the updater
2)after it crashes, go to wherever you installed planeshift.
3)look for an updater.zip, it should be dated whenever you ran the updater.
4)unzip updater.zip into the planeshift directory, it should ask you if you want to overwrite the existing file, say yes.
5)run the updater again if all went well, it will update properly, and not crahs :)

Hope it helps,
-Andy

The updater isn\'t working for me either. I checked my PS folder, but I didn\'t find a .zip file. Where\'s it located?

Post by: Meketh on January 19, 2005, 08:20:14 am

Same here, update ris basically crashing with the message the initial poster wrote. I could fix it by unzipping the updater.zip but basically something seems to be broken with the updater.

Do you need computer specifications for debugging?

Nice to see everyone is still playing with or trying to find or unzip that zip.  If anyone did like i did and still have the planeshift and saved it when they downloaded it, all i did was remove the program, then installed planeshift again, and ran the updater.

Just so you know, I\'ve located the error that you\'re having (did that like 1-2 days ago) but the guy who handles the repos (Talad) need to update it which can take time until he has time (There are other things that are priorited atm)

Extracting updater.zip to the PS main directory worked great for me. Thanks!

Post by: Salfara on January 20, 2005, 03:00:35 am

Alright, after severe amounts of bashing my head against a wall, I found the .zip file. for those of you who have the same problem I had, it\'s in a \"planeshift crystal blue\" file under \"planeshift\" Though that might just be me...
Anyway, thanks to everyone for the help!

I followed the above directions and \"bingo\" when I went back to update, it was off and running.  Thanks, I would never have figured it out for myself.

I had the same problem. After waiting some time I restarted the updater, it said it was 1.0.2.3, but then it wanted to update again.
I found the updater.zip in the PS main dir, but unpacking it into the main dir didn\'t work. But after that I found the updatertemp dir and I copied all of the stuff into the main dir and it worked!
It still sayd it is 1.0.2.3, but it started the main update now!

Try reinstalling the game. Then upload the updater. To me, it works like a charmmmm. :)
