Post by: ScrollMaker on June 01, 2005, 01:20:06 am: The game wouldn\'t work even if you got the updater to run. A fix *should* be coming later tonight. Read the instructions in A Guide To Running Planeshift on Mac OS X once that update is released.

Post by: Cha0s on June 01, 2005, 03:42:52 am: Tr1skal, you can go ahead and update (with my updater) if you want, but you will need to download some more stuff later (and possibly redownload some stuff too). The art, however, probably won\'t change, so you will likely save some time, if that\'s what you\'re asking.

That was yesterday but we haven\'t heard anything yet. dfryer may have gotten busy and didn\'t get a chance to get to it. He\'s volunteering his time so we can\'t beat on him too bad.

Post by: Cha0s on June 02, 2005, 04:35:39 am: PLEASE READ. This is beyond even searching. You posted in this thread without reading a reply seven posts up that answers the question (and another one another two posts up). I don\'t mean to be hard on you or anything, but there are times when it\'s just a little bit ridiculous. Please, read, and when you can\'t find what you need by skimming the thread titles/posts, then search. THEN, if you still can\'t find what you need, then post.

As quint (mind if I abbreviate? :P ) said, the game doesn\'t work now. A key plugin is missing. Dfryer will post it as soon as it\'s ready. You can OPEN the client (you\'ll see the splash screen) through Terminal, but you won\'t be able to play.

Post by: dfryer on June 03, 2005, 07:30:11 am: Any idea why it won\'t start from the GUI? Could someone post a log from Console.app or a backtrace of what happens when they try to launch from the Finder?

Thanks,
Daniel

Post by: dfryer on June 03, 2005, 10:06:46 pm: Awww... they still have a bad vfs.cfg file in there. Somewhere in the MacOS forums (maybe the big, locked, sticky thread) there is a link to a \"working\" vfs.cfg, or the version in CVS at support/macosx/vfs.cfg

I\'ll see what I can do to have \"our\" vfs.cfg replace \"their\" vfs.cfg

Thanks,
Daniel

Post by: shifthappens on June 04, 2005, 03:08:16 am: I had a copy of the vfs.cfg from .009. It launched for me. But now it fails to load past the MOTD.

Going to try and log in with a different character... thinking were the last character I was using could just be in a bad map?

No...that didn\'t help.

But at least it was able to boot from double-clicking. Will end up downloading fresh binary copy. Hmmm....no.. Will have to download a old copy and then try Chaos\'s updater as my Terminal experience results in an inablity to interact with the screen.
