Title: Incorrect version problem
Post by: Harold Shea on February 26, 2005, 03:59:00 pm: When I try to connect to the Laanx server now I simply get a message saying I have the incorrect version of planeshift for the server. Assuming this means I have to update the version I run the updater programme but when I do so the updater refuses to run giving a message that it has to close.
I am wondering what I should do next.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

i hav einstalled the linux installer and it worked just a few days ago, but now it say that i have a wrong version.
I have update and the console show that:
Code: [Select]
~/Planeshift$ ./updater --auto : Starting binaries updater : Downloading MD5 sums : Done : Checking for updated binaries : Done, cleaning up : Starting art updater Critical files () not found (Server only) NOTIFY: psUpdaterEngine initialized. Downloading registry... 0%....25%....50%....75%....100% Loaded registry Checking for updates.. This may take a while Warning: Couldn\'t find module \'other_os\' in registry. All files are up-to-date! Please wait while saving files.. ==== Update complete ====
And still the game says that i have a wrong version...
I also have tried to reinstall the game and redownload the updates but it gives me the same result...

Post by: Memnarch on February 27, 2005, 02:08:46 pm: Ok, sorry for the post, I found the updater in another forum. But here is the problem, I downloaded it and used it, but still nothing. I get the same error of incorrect version. Could this be that the server is offline? If so, shouldn\'t it give me a different error?

Post by: Karosh_Steinkatz on February 27, 2005, 03:08:21 pm: Which version do you have? If it\'s 0.3.006 and you run the updater from the symlink, you are affected by a bug in the updater script which has been fixed a while ago. Go to your PS dir and run it from there one to get the updated client.

Post by: Memnarch on February 27, 2005, 03:32:12 pm: No, I am running the 0.3.007 one. It\'s the one I got from the downloads ant planeshift.it. I run the updater, and it does both updates, but it just doesn\'t work. I don\'t really understand you last sentence, though.

Post by: ThomPhoenix on February 27, 2005, 05:53:40 pm: Try running the updater with the --auto parameter. Just open the settings of the shortcut and add one SPACE and then --auto behind the target.

edit: Wait, are you using Linux? Well, I think Karosh is saying that you should place the updater in your PS dir, else the updater will place the files in the wrong directory.
And be more informative, you confuse me :) Are you using Linux or Windows? Did you use --auto?

Post by: Memnarch on February 27, 2005, 06:17:45 pm: Ok, I am using Linux Mandrake 10.0
I have the updater in the PS directory. I\'ll see what happens if I add the --auto part.

Edit: I used --auto after ./updater (./updater --auto). Nothing seemed different, and I get the same thing.

Post by: Marduk Kurios on February 27, 2005, 07:05:57 pm: i also use linux (guadalinex 2004=debian sarge).
And i have tried the auto parameter in teh updater and the same result... incorrect version when i try to connect

Post by: ThomPhoenix on February 27, 2005, 08:07:46 pm: Ah, Linux.
Well, did you use the installer on the planeshift.it website? If you did, try Karosh\'s installer, it might work better. http://www.planeshift3d.com/wbboard/thread.php?threadid=13494&boardid=33&sid=26ac0bce0a976aaf8a4cf3b57981b769

Post by: Memnarch on March 01, 2005, 01:56:03 am: I downloaded it, and installed it, still doesn\'t work. Updated it, and also used the updater posted in these forums somewhere, still nothing. I am really dissapointed...

Post by: Marduk Kurios on March 01, 2005, 03:07:11 pm: damn....
again the client is not up to date... The same problem... but this time i haven\'t do anything ... just today doesn\'t work and yesterday it worked perfectly...
:(
(of course after the \"incorrect version\"message i have tried to ./updater and ./updater-auto and still doesn\'t work)

Post by: ThomPhoenix on March 01, 2005, 05:27:15 pm: That\'s because recently there was an update for Planeshift. Karosh now has to recompile the installer for linux with the latest code. Just be patient. A new updater will be available soon, but Karosh is waiting until the \"the server dropped us\" bugs are gone.

Post by: Marduk Kurios on March 01, 2005, 10:28:43 pm: ok, i\'ll be patient...

Post by: Rapptor on March 02, 2005, 05:59:13 pm: I also have the incorrect version of planescape.
I downloaded planeshift yesterday so I think I got the correct version, but it don\'t work.

\'\'You are not running the correct version of Planeshift for this server.\'\'

I downloaded the Windows version.

What should I do?!
Should i uppdate somthing?

Post by: ThomPhoenix on March 02, 2005, 09:00:38 pm: Yes, there is a nice tool called the \"updater\". Use it!
Title:
Post by: Marduk Kurios on March 05, 2005, 03:43:40 pm: this morning i have tried to run the \'updater --auto\' and it updated the psclient-bin and a xml file. After that it worked again.
