(taken from main site)
The update to version 0.3.011 is released. You can get it from our download section.
As many of you already know, ALL characters have been deleted, while the accounts are still present. So our database still has you email address and password stored. You do not need to recreate the account if you already had one. Just login as you have done till today.
If you had a character in MB version of PlaneShift (0.2.x), you can migrate it to the new version. To do that, just login with your CB account, then create a character with the same name of the previous MB char, and you will get some additional trias plus, if you collected many crystals, a special item.
In addition to the features listed on the previous news item, we added a number of books to jayose library. Go there and right-click on the shelves.
See you online.

cant log in, server still down....
-
Thanks for that Talad, here\'s to the the update and the wipe!
*Kias raises his ale for a moment then drinks it all in one go*
-
I updated using the updater, but I don\'t see a download for a new version alltogether (11 as opposed to 10). I guess I misunderstood something?
-
So it is up right.. I am updating now. Talad btw I love you man!!! :D
-
got the client, updated, it says v 3.011 and the only server availible is called fragnetics, is this how it should be guys? hopefully I\'m not too far behind everyone else in this process.
-
I have updated to 0.3.011, but seems the server is still down.
I cannot see that they have written anything about the update on the web-page either. Well well, hoping the server will go online soon :)
-
*Thumbs up*
He he I only missed the release by 1 hour. But hey the server is still down, so I didn\'t miss anything.
EDIT: Oh actually I haven\'t. The time is not in GMT 0 :D
EDIT 2: Trying to update but the updater is stuck on \"Checking for Updates\" there must be mighty a lot of updates. :D
-
i hope the new linux client will come up soon too...
btw: i wonder why the linux client is not available via bittorrent at all...
-
is Fragnetics the server you guys see too?
-
It looked like a massive update for me...then I realised it was because I had changed the music files so it was downloading all the music again :/
Edit: Fragnetics is the only server, so if you see that, that is where everyone is ;)
-
Yah same one.
*Valbrandr looks up at the clock knowing he only has one hour left till he has to go to sleep. Begins praying to both Talad and Laanx...
-
ive yet to even play this game, but sitting here reading my book (rama II by arthur c clarke and gentry lee) ive been watching the forums and did the update. now im all giddy about a new game with all players my age, man there is something so sweet in the beginings

If you have a strong will as I used to remember you did you will stay.
But then it\'s not like they gonna steal your name. :D
Oh by the way I think we get new spells because the updater is loading new sound files from spells.
EDIT: It also adding a lot of effects for different spells.
-
Its kind of exciting, like getting a game on launch day, starting from square one with everyone, hopefully there wont be too much chaos in the training areas. I\'m just watching movies and building heroclix teams, impatiently checking to see if I can log in. As there are no more clix tournaments this week, I need something else to occupy my time, hopefully planeshift will fill that gap.
-
If you have a strong will as I used to remember you did you will stay.
Ill stay. Been waiting too long for this.
*Valbrandr ponders calling into work tonight so that he can play all day long. The good life...
-
I have congratulate the developers on the best \"soon\" ever. This for a change was soon. Not that I mind waiting, for I had enough patience to wait indefinatly.
-
hopefully we can be blessed with the server just as soon
-
when i go onto the normal mode its all messed up and the colour is black. also its got the thing saying ping or cancel. i have to do it in recover mode instead now.
so when the update is done will i be able to play the game?
are there any players at the moment?

Remember that the code is there for all sorts of crazy stuff, but a lot of it isn\'t in effect yet.

Go to command prompt and run the updater from there (that\'s what I did) so go to the folder your PS is in
ie cd C:\\games\\PS
Then run updater with --auto settings
ie updater.exe --auto
And the updater will run without GUI
Remember that the code is there for all sorts of crazy stuff, but a lot of it isn\'t in effect yet.
Yes yes yes, that is exactly why I said we might have, not that we will, we had spells effects and etc for a lot of spells in last version that were not used.
-
so is this happening onn everybody\'s john?
also, is the update around 17mb?
oh shizer, i just tried to play the game and thats all black too.
how do i take a screenshot of the game screen log in and where does it save to

Not necessary, but my updater froze on \"Checking for Updates\" so I decided better do it the safe way and update ASAP.
Yes it is 17 megs at least that is what the Updater told me.
-
Yeah.. most of the time my updater wont work so I have to do it through the command prompt... and the download was 20 or so MB for me.
This time it did work though
-

Not for me atleast, the updater first updated itself, then restarted to update the game. The update was about 80 MB(?) or atleast something close to that.
-
This is almost as exciting as first MB to CB transition, but I missed that one by a whole day, and hence lost my name. :P
Won\'t happen this time!! \'Cos I\'m onto you PlaneShift! With Updater to ping server and the client to log in, I\'m ready!
-
See ya there John, if I can get it, my name will be Magnus.

Yes, yes, we shall meet. (although I do take ages to create the character, I love playing around with all options) :D
-
Strange, I started the updater again just to be sure, and it seemed to download about 2 megs more.
-

Sure, Linux client will be available after short tests made by a closed group of
users. I have made client packages for x86 and x86_64. One important notice:
It will be first relased without the art, as a 39 megs file, so all the people who
has 3.010 please use its updater to get current art and then just wait a while. About BT, we will see.
Regards.

That happens if you didn\'t finish the updating for whatever reason.
EDIT: Oh...they added few more files.
EDIT 2: OOOOOO Noo Some files do not get saved properly! That\'s why!

Yeah the options sound great, I\'m getting all worked up thinking of the possibilities, it seems to have a rather deep character generator. Nearly on par with tabletop D&D lol
-
I just noticed that as well. 485 kb worth...

Yes some files don\'t get saved properly, damn gotta do it manually.
-
is anybody elses game in black?
its not just that but its all messed up and i cant log in anyway
does anyone think its worth downloading the game again?

I guess that might be it, though I am quite sure it said Update complete.
I tried a third time and it added two more files, well well. Hope there is nothing wrong with my updater.
EDIT: I just saw your newest posts. Guess Ill have to do it manually.
-
for kicks I tried it again and for some reason it keeps updating the blue-freeze.wav everytime, perhaps they are currently working on that file?
-
Thats what I think too. Tell me John if it works when you do it manually.
-
It\'s a bug in repositories, but it\'s wierd the wav file (one that kept dling via downloader) changed his file size from 340kbs to 430kbs...wierd...now it\'s 485....hm...it\'s 353 after that...and so on...i see it is bug in repositories...or something like that
EDIT 2: Now it decided to download both versions one with big B (485 kbs) and one with small b (353 kbs).
Tsk tsk tsk devs.
-
yeah, thats what I was getting at, not so good with the techie aspects but I\'m a fine player of most games if I must say myself lol
-
Basically repository says to Updater to download both Blue_freeze.wav and blue_freeze.wav but since windows is not case sensitive that cannot be.
EDIT: That should not affect our game play at all since the file is present.
-
oh well, smashing! Hopefully the servers come up soon, I am dying to test drive this thing!
-
i deleted said file Bluefreeze.wav and then ran patch and it downloaded the bluefreeze in caps, so then i changed the file to lower case and ran patch again and it simply updated file to the capped version, but i suspect it should be in lowercase as the rest of the colors listed are all lower case .
edit: after i ran patch , although it said updating it, its now still lower case in my files.
what this means, i dont know
-
well its weird, the capped one is bigger than the uncapped one... trying to figure it out myself... but I dunno

Just don\'t worry about it in windows it doesn\'t matter if it\'s caps or not, the thiing is not case sensitive. As long as the file is there we all should be ok.
-
by bigger I mean the file size, the lower case is 354kb whereas the capped is 485kb... and I\'m no programmer but I find that out of the ordinary enough to cause a slight concern.
-
I stayed with bigger size one. But really even if it was 0 kb as long as it\'s there all should work.

As you can imagine, this was my initial reaction to the posting and it\'s contents. I narrowly missed 3 chickens, a young boy, and a young woman I beleive to go by the name of \"little bo peep\". I however did swerve out of the way in time to leave the scene quickly enough for none of them to be the wiser, or have indentified my registration plates. However, my blood raced even further as I read on during this thread of dire importance.
I for one applaud this bringing of the wipe, and as I sit crying in my room, tears shed for my beloved PC which is still in repo, I shall hope that I get complete internet access soon so that I may share in the joy of CB.
I\'m also excited to be filthy rich again :P
-
Err I dont know where to post this, so instead of spam a new thread only about it I\'ll post it here. I\'ve done just like Talad announced in post:
If you had a character in MB version of PlaneShift (0.2.x), you can migrate it to the new version. To do that, just login with your CB account, then create a character with the same name of the previous MB char, and you will get some additional trias plus, if you collected many crystals, a special item.
oops.. I havent any of them.. ?( What happened? Does the same happened to you? What\'s happening? 9000 trias is a lot of money.. :P
Someone answer, please, thx
-
Same happened here , i had an MB character with alot of dimmy\'s , think it was some 16 . So i logged in with my cb account and made the MB character with the mb name ....No extra tria ....no ring....nothing. I don\'t hope me and Ash are the only one with this problem.
edit : and yes i migrated the first time.

it\'s the same for me :(
I try all : Zelphira Osy and Osy Zelphira but nothing
Ps my name in MB : Zelphira
and of course yes i migrated the first time
and when i migrated in december Mb to CB all it\'s good at this time but not now :(
-
And the new release for linux. :) what...
I see this game one year ago and I didn\'t play because the server was updating... I want try this great game, but... ;)
how many time I have to wait for download it??
I wait... O_o
Hello all the people! :)
-
glad i\'m not the only one with that problem. of getting a fresh cb char rather then my older cb one. the tria are nice, but i really want the ring back.
-
if I changed the name of my MB char during pre-wipe cb, will the namechange stay or will I have to change my name again now? I don\'t want to take lose one of my char slots to try with the old name first, and neither do I wish to lose my ring of the past...
-
There\'s an option to delete your character now.
-
I created a new character with it\'s MB name and didn\'t get any translation :-( . Who do we talk to when things have settled down?
Cheers.

-
See the server discussion forum. They\'re working on it.
-
hmmmmmmm....i ran the updater...........and now my whole game died.....thx a bunch....jk....its not your fault
-
Does this version have the Race Rules implemented or were they already implemented?
-
*sigh* silly updater... i never use sound and your updating it... its kind of funny when I see that. And my updater has been blasted into a black screen fraught with errors, my game has crashed, my pssetup file isnt working and recover mode is actually working. Noone had better steal my name... or else Ill be really sad... :(
They better not steal my backup name either...
Talad, you and all the devs rock!!!!
-
Hm, yeah, its me, Jjairr the Computer Genius. -.- Err, I was wondering, do I just run the updater or do I have to reinstall PS completely?
-
i\'m having a the same problem as many of you guys a i can barely see any of the pictuires. its like they do not exist. here is a list of what i can\'t see
*splash
*main
*many of the char generation screens
*the loading screens
*many of the ingame toolbars (default bighgest concern is chat box since tou can\'t see where others are sending stuff to ya)
and to someoen else\'s inquiry if your version is 0.3.01
then just update it sicne tht had the same results as downloading had for me. i even uninstalled the game. and reinstalled it to see if that would help. and i think that perhaps ones\' OS migth have something tyo do with it. i\'m running win2000 pro and i\'m experiencing problems and none of them were in prior versions ;(

To do that, just login with your CB account, then create a character with the same name of the previous MB char, and you will get some additional trias plus, if you collected many crystals, a special item.
If you create your new character with your old MB name, and afterward delete it because you\'ve messed it up, will you be able to reclaim the additional tria and the ring on the next char that you create so long as you use the same name?
-
For when the version for Linux?
-
Nooooo!!!!! How could this happen while I was away at camp? More to the point, how could this happen when I had to urgently leave to go to a funeral and am now in a country where DSL is almost non-existent? How? How? HOW?????
Anyways... It\'s great that it happened so soon, wasn\'t expecting it.
-
just for the people that did not notice they fixed up the GUI :D
(praises the overlords called developers)
its noce to knwo you can enjoy PS at its full quality again. and i\'m kidan saying thank you devs for fixing it up
P.S. i somehow think this post was quite unnesasary but it is nice to knwo they fixed the GUI.
/me is very pleased at what the devs are adding to the game and fixing up :]
-
Alright I\'m mad. I bet you guys didn\'t create the update for the apple computers yet did ya? you know how I can tell? I used the updater to update the game just like I\'m supposed to. And now they won\'t open at all. it just flickers. Either help me out or make the update for the apple quickly. You know I was just about to donate to you guys too.
-
they dont accept donations you know.
-
Yes, Dan_flyhight, you are the developers number one priority. They are going to get right on making the apple version and while they\'re at it they\'re going to send you a team of computer programers and engineers to fix the version you already have. they would absolutely hate to have you angry at them. theyre going to push away every other peice of work and problems they\'re having to make you happy with them again
you know what......just leave...they really dont want people like you playing anyway.
-
Burn... thats harsh..
-
/me thinks dan is an idiot....of course they are working on the Mac version..
And of course Mac users are impatient. And of course you\'re stupid-I mean impatient in stead of mad.
So..take gentar\'s advice and go away....
PS. I was really quaking in my boots whilst reading your post.
-
I don\'t understand. I named my account the same as my previous account, but I haven\'t got back my trias (altough it only was 32 trias I think). I\'ve heard nobody about it. Have I did something wrong?
-
that only worked for people who played the previous version called Molacular Blue (MB)
if you\'ve only played Cristal Blue (CB) you won\'t get anything back.
-
huh its still crystal blue! i been away since last haloween and it was crystal blue then. Phew drakiel is safe
-
Yeah its been CB for a while now, they have been slowly upgrading bits by bits i believe.

Is that going to happen again, soon? If not, one should change the MOTD because it\'s scary like this ;)
-
About how much longer will it take to get the new version running for macintosh?
-
there is a mac version, just use chaos\'s updater use search please
-
I still can\'t find what you said kevman. And I\'d just like to apologize for how I came across earlier. its just I like this game and I wanted to be able to play it real bad.
-
There is a whole Mac forum. I suggest you look there. Reading the stickies there and searching are good ideas.
