Title: Jjairr is stuipd >.<
Post by: Jjairr on October 08, 2005, 01:23:54 am

Oi, yeah, I\'m an idiot. I understand computers almost as much as I understand black holes. And so, while foolishly trying to fix the updater, I instead ended up killing it.

>.< Now PS isn\'t working for me, nor is the updater. Some flashy red message about running out of mirrors. So, really, I wanted to know if by uninstalling PS and then reinstalling it, would it already be updated with all this fun current shtuff? Or would I still have to update after installing it?

And, if I uninstall and reinstall it, will my conversation logs still be there? Do they sorta come attached with the characters? Or will they all go bleh?

I\'m probably being vague as crap here, but like I said, I\'m an idiot... >.< Please help me!

Oh, and go on and whack me with somethin\' if this is in the wrong forum.

The game server does not work at the moment; and if you never edited the updater config file, neither the game nor the updater will work as long as this server is down.

Try the following: Edit the file updaterconfig.xml and change the following part (do not remove the rest!):

Code: [Select]

...

   
       
       
       
   

...
After editing, you may want to write-protect the file.

Now, the updater should try to use the alternative mirror first.

Jjairr, if you reinstall you will lose your chat logs so I would suggest moving them I\'m not sure where they are in windoze but linux is /planeshift/logs/ and you will still have to run the updater after install
