EDIT: Update... yes, version 10 is currently missing a plugin, without which psclient won\'t work. My bad.
For people who haven\'t followed current threads in detail, here\'s a summary up until this point (May 29):
The updater shipped with v3.009 (the full download on the website) is broken. Client v3.009 can\'t connect to the server, because it\'s out of date.
Client and updater v3.010 are available in the \"updater repository\" (a webserver which hosts the files for the updater). Client v.3.010 should work, as should the updater, but you can\'t get them using the updater shipped in v3.009, mostly because I hate you all and want you to suffer.
Cha0s has created a java-based updater that CAN download the files, and this is currently the best way to get them BUT...
..it won\'t launch after you download it because the permission bits are hosed. The trick is to open a terminal window and use the \"cd\" command to get to your Planeshift folder, then execute the following commands:
chmod 755 psclient.app/Contents/MacOS/psclient
chmod 755 updater.app/Contents/MacOS/updater
Then, psclient should launch. Maybe. EDIT: No, no it won\'t do anything other than *launch*, because I missed a camera plugin. If this all goes over your head, I hope to be able to put a working version of the updater on the website, as well as a new v10 download, but that takes a long time to compile and upload.
-
Followed your instructions and got it running. The only problem is it starts up with a black screen, plays a sound, and just sits there and does nothing after that.
-
I\'ve updated my \"How to Run\" thread with step-by-step instructions. Anyone who\'s confused, take a look over there. If you still can\'t get it working, sit tight until Talad to uploads a full release.
ScrollMaker: It may be a problem with my updater (though it shouldn\'t be... :\\). Try running the official updater again after you run mine.
EDIT2: I think I know what\'s wrong. There\'s probably a new cfg file. ScrollMaker, try running it from Terminal w/ \"java -jar Updater.jar updateall\" (cd to the correct directory first!). I\'m adding a GUI method for doing this as we speak, but if you don\'t want to wait, do that. :)
-
I\'ll try that right now.
-
Just ran the official updater. I tried launching the psclient.app from the finder, but it quit right after I launched it.
I then launched it from the terminal. It gets stuck on the loading screen and it gives me the following output in the terminal:

Did you try my updater from the command line with the given command?
-
It gives me the same result.
Edit: When I try the updater with the given command all my files are up to date.
Edit2: Here is a screenshot of where it gets stuck.

Hrmm... Did you encounter any errors when updating?
I just realized I forgot a line of code in the zip archive update section which may have caused several files (3, I think) not to be updated.
-
Nope... and I edited my post. ^
Edit in Response to Edit Above: Let\'s see if your updated updater does the trick.
-
When I ran the unofficial updater the following showed up in the window:

Notice the three errors. I\'m not sure what those zip files are used.
When opening psclient through the terminal the following was returned:Terminal
crystalspace.pluginmgr.loadplugin:
WARNING: could not load plugin \'cel.pcfactory.defaultcamera\'
HEY HEY
crystalspace.application.celtest:
CEL \'cel.pcfactory.defaultcamera\' plugin missing!
After running the official updater and running through the terminal I had the initial splash screen open and it stayed there. When trying to run it through OS X I had the same result as ScrollMaker.
I was going to try running the official updater first but seeing as the default camera plugin couldn\'t be loaded after either the unoffical updater or both the unofficial an offical updaters.
For the record I\'m running 10.3.9. If you want the text files that either of the updaters creates let me know.
-
No, that\'s fine. Thanks, though. I\'ve fixed the bug and am testing the updater now. I should have news within the next 5 minutes or so.
EDIT: Yup, there\'s a bug. We\'re missing that default camera plugin it seems. We\'ll have to wait for dfryer to get Talad to stick that in the repository, I guess.
EDIT2: On the bright side, the official updater runs (though only through Terminal).
-
*ScrollMaker cries*
-
I was able to get the official updater to run through the command line when I firsted downloaded it a couple days ago. I think the instructions are in a readme in the dmg file.
Two other things, thanks for the work you guys are putting into this. Hopefully you can get it working soon so I can eat the fruits of your labor, the slacker that I am.
Lastly, it wouldn\'t be a bad idea to see if a link to a specific thread on this forum can be added to the OS X download section. It would make it easier for new people to find information and the Mac developers have access to it directly. Your thread \"A Guide to Running Planeshift on Mac OS X\" is a good one. One easy to access place that will be kept up to date so dfyer doesn\'t need to update 10 threads at once.
-
Yes, this is my mistake, seems that this is a new plugin which I\'ll have to upload into the updater.
Thanks!
Daniel

I got a longer file than Quintlusc but the 3 errors are the same.

Download my updated updater! ;)
-
I ran psclient and got to the first screen which was dark but the art was clearly readable and I was loaded to the second screen.
Second screen asked for my password and i clicked OK and I got the message:
that i am not running the correct version of PS for this server.
At the top left was: PlaneShift Crystal Blue 0.3.009
So I quit.
I will now run the updater in PS 3D to see what happens.
New Edit: the updater crashed.
I am now downloading Java jre 1.4.1 and it is in process of being established on my mac.
I will download the new Chaos Updater.jar or rerun my updater.jar
after I reread Chaos instructions. But first I have to restart.
Well, I updated with Chaos\'s new Updater.jar and the 3 error dissappeared and Chaos was correct the psclient still does not work.
Now, I can not even get to the first and second screens. Some Progress???
Now I will try doing what the readme for Mac OS X users says that came with the material after I used Chaos\'s Updater.
-
Hello, I am a newbie here but I\'d like to report what I\'ve done. Hopefully this helps.
I ran the updater earlier today and got the same issue with the black screen like everyone else. I just downloaded the new updater and checked the new \"Update all files\" box and that seemed to get rid of the problem with the 3 files that had given me errors earlier. Now, when I run the client, the program just quits. When I run it from the terminal i get this message:
Crystal Space for MacOS/X 0.99 r0 [MacOS/X-powerpc-GCC]
Ported to MacOS/X by Eric Sunshine
WARNING: could not load plugin \'crystalspace.kernel.vfs\'
Couldn\'t load VFS plugin \"crystalspace.kernel.vfs\"!
ERROR: csInitializer::SetupConfigManager failed!
Is your CRYSTAL environment variable set?
Am I wrong to expect that I should still get a black screen, or did the updater mess something up? I hope this helps.
-
When double-clicked, the app should just quit (well, it shouldn\'t, but that\'s what it does. :P ).
When you run from Terminal, you should get the splash screen and a nice error. Make sure to cd to your Planeshift 3D folder and then type \"./psclient.app/Contents/MacOS/psclient\" (followed by a return).
-
Ok I recoppied the program from the .dmg and i ran the updater without checkign any boxes. The game now launches to the splash screen and I get no error message it just stops there. When I run the game from the terminal I get the same message. I wonder if something got messed up from checking the box or not getting a full update since the game wouldnt bring up a window at all before on the install I previously had.
-
You do need to check the box as there are new cfg files you need (I think). However, you are still missing a plugin which has not been uploaded to the repository yet. Therefore, until it gets uploaded, you won\'t be able to play. Hopefully, it\'ll be up tomorrow, though it depends on when dfryer can get Talad to do it. :P
-
Using:
1) Open the Terminal application in /Applications/Utilities
2) enter cd /your/path/to/planeshift <-- where /your/path/to/planeshift represents the folder that planeshift is in, for example \"cd /Applications/Planeshift/\"
3) Type \"./updater.app/Contents/MacOS/updater\" and hit return, without the quotes\"
the results got me:

To clarify, even if you run the updater from the commandline, it\'s broken - only Cha0ses updater is working.
Furthermore, it has been established that what I uploaded is missing *at least one* plugin, hopefully I\'ll get to that by tomorrow evening.
-
I have run Chaos updater.
Now I go to terminal under utilities in applications and clicking on the terminal image and gettin a prompt. I type \"cd \" , then using finder
drag the folder for Planeshift 3D to the terminal window and hit return.
Then I type ./psclient.app/Contents/MacOS/psclient and hit return which generate a long series of lines ending in:
crystalspace.pluginmgr.loadplugin:
WARNING: could not load plugin \'cel.pcfactory.defaultcamera\'
HEY HEY
crystalspace.application.celtest:
CEL \'cel.pcfactory.defaultcamera\' plugin missing!
the terminal window reads at the top: Terminal -- psclient -- 80x24
Also this psclient line generates the opening window of PS showing Planeshift in the upper right hand corner. Four races -- Kran, Enkidukai, one with long ears and a bearded man and Crystal Blue in lower left hand corner. The screen is frozen and will not run because the program lacks something -- Namely your (dfryer) expertise. All I can do is quit at that stage is quit. Also at the top is 3.010 stated.
I did find \"cel.pcfactory.defaultcamera\" on the internet under pastebin.com which obviously has much to do with the development of PS.

Ok well i did everything it said and it keeps giving me psclient is not a directory when i type in ./psclient.app/Contents/MacOS/psclient
And the psclient wont open up it just instantly crashes..

The OS X version isn\'t working right now. Wait until there\'s more news saying that it\'s working again. It should be in a couple days if that one plugin is all that\'s missing.
