Title: Major problems - graphic and updater
Post by: danveld on May 08, 2005, 07:23:48 pm

Hi. I\'m new one here, just downloaded this game tommorow. So the things written here may be known, but.

1) updater doesnt work (it crash everytime I run it)

2) when I quit game - crash again (but ok, I quit anyway so it\'s not a big problem)

3) MAJOR PROBLEM - grafic is not working when I\'m inside of building, dungeon etc. When I\'m outside, everything is fine. Its hard to describe this problem, but I\'ll try:
    a) graphic is fuzzy
    b) when I\'m moving with cursor, it \"leaves dead cursors behind\". So in
        some time, I have about 50 cursor pictures on screen.
    c) walls and everything else do the same as cursor.

The game looks great, but until this is solved, I cannot play it. :o((( Any solution?

My Mac is - iBook G4 1,2 Ghz, 512 RAM, cable internet, OS X 10.3.9

Thanks for any help, cheers

Open file \"planeshift/data/config/r3dopengl.cfg\" with BBedit or similar.
Add an extra line in the end \"Video.OpenGL.DelaySwap = no\", and the fuzzy stuff is gone.

Maybe before posting you should search the forums. This answer has been given several times.

Yea: TextEdit :D
You don\'t need an HTML editor. Any text editor works fine (though avoid things like MSWord).

EMACS EMACS EMACS EMACS

There is a nice distribution of Aquamacs through Fink Commander.

If you are completely insane, try vi or vim.

Personally, I rather use pico, which is provided with darwin.

Pico is great for fast and dirty work, but Emacs is a great editor for programming.  I learned QBasic in EDIT, which was a long long time ago. Pico is almost nostalgic for me.

I have tried doin the text-edit thing, but it didnt do didly squat for me,
my updater still doesn\'t open. so i cant update my game to get it to run :P
also for some odd odd reason, none of the servers are up when i try to log in :P, they say that they are down for updates.....

PICO, VIM, and EMACS all have their strong points. PICO is the simplest of the three in my opinion. EMACS is definitely the most functional. I once wrote, compiled, and ran a simple C program using EMACS and the GCC compiler, and that\'s an accomplishment for me, since I don\'t know UNIX!

VIM has a very nice tutorial, which you can access by executing the \"vimtutor\" command (without the quotes).
