For those of you experiencing \"Unexpected Quit\" problems:
Since these fixes are embedded in another thread, I thought I\'d repost them here. Currently it seems that the updater is not grabbing files in the root directory properly. For people who *could* run 3.011, I hope that these work. If you *couldn\'t*, then I\'m interested in console or crash logs.
First:
Open updaterconfig.xml and change the section to:
This won\'t affect running but will take the load off laanx when we get updater mirrors working.
Secondly, open psclient.cfg and change the line:
Planeshift.GUI.Skin.Ingame = default
to:
Planeshift.GUI.Skin.Ingame = /this/art/skins/default.zip
Then try running the updater and starting psclient!
-
I\'ve just updated my updater to include these changes, and until we can figure out what\'s going on with the normal updater, you can use it. I\'ve added a speed indicator, random mirror selection, and better time estimation.
If anyone does get the normal updater working correctly (i.e. updating the root directory), please tell us so we can try to figure out what\'s going on.
-
Open updaterconfig.xml and change the section to: quoted from Dfryer message.
When I opened that file, the 5 mirrors where already fixed.
Also my folder said
updaterconfig.xml Yesterday, 2:13 PM 8 KB XML P...ist File
I ran the updater.app file yesterday and it seemed to work although the window was small with black background and was very hard to read to unreadable.
Also dfryer stated:
Secondly, open psclient.cfg and change the line:
Planeshift.GUI.Skin.Ingame = default
to:
Planeshift.GUI.Skin.Ingame = /this/art/skins/default.zip
end of quote
This also was fixed in my PS folder
psclient.cfg Yesterday, 1:44 PM 8KB Document
-
And you\'re unable to start psclient?
-
I am sorry, I must have misunderstood you. But for a while yesterday I could not start psclient.app. I had done a partial try at using updater.jar and aborted it before it was done because I had read ChaOs\'s guild which said move the updater to the PS folder and click upgrade all files which I had not done. I then moved the updater.jar to the PS folder and ran it. Then I noticed that some of the files (on my desktop) were newer than those in my PS folder and so I moved and replaced those that were newer in the folder. After that when I tried to get on I got a black screen and got nowhere using psclient. But after doing a full downloard using updater (standard) I had no trouble starting psclient. What I said in the previous message was done after the full updater.app
-
Hrmmm... what might have happened is that you might have gotten the root files with my updater (the files on the desktop), and then copied them in. And then you got the rest of the files from the normal updater. I\'m not sure there\'s any good way to test this, though.
-
I was getting the same thing, psclient would start then just die. Here is how i got it working:
I ran the updater.jar file from the ps root directory. This updated to the newest version, but would quit out all the time before the main screen could pop up.
So i thought what the heck, I clicked on the update program and it connected and downloaded a very small amount of files. To my amazement it worked.
Hope this helps.

chaos i read ure guide, follwed it and still my pssetup for the newest version (12) wont work
(edit) nvm i found what happened
-
cobracon: when did you do this? I put my updater up ~15 hours ago.
Also, can you find out which files it downloaded?
-
did, as you recommended (editing updaterconfig.xml and psclient.cfg):
updater still says, everything is up-to-date. although the finder says, psclient is v. 0.3.11
pssetup still crashes at startup
Here\'s the errorlog:
Command: pssetup
Path: /Applications/Spiele/Planeshift3D/pssetup.app/Contents/MacOS/pssetup
Version: 0.3.011 (0)
PID: 428
Thread: Unknown
Link (dyld) error:
dyld: /Applications/Spiele/Planeshift3D/pssetup.app/Contents/MacOS/pssetup can\'t open library: /sw/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib (No such file or directory, errno
psclient seems to run now.
unfortunately the server broke down, when i was attempting to create a charakter :( so i have no further experiences. but the splash-screen says now: \"Warning! Planeshift performs better in 24 or 32 Bit Color Mode!\" or something like that. my system runs on 32 bit colors. maybe its because of the pssetup?
-
Search and you\'ll find out about pssetup. As for the warning, ignore it, it\'s wrong. As for the finder version message, ignore that too. Dfryer was too lazy to update things to make it say 3.012. :P I wouldn\'t complain, though... the game works. ;)
-
I can not open pssetup either and mine is still has date modified Aug 11, 2005
However pssetup.cfg date mod is Yesterday 1:44 AM
psclient.cfg date mod is Yesterday 1:44 AM
psclient date mod is Sep 5, 2005, 9:08 PM
vfs.cfg date mod is yesterday 1:25 AM
Updater.jar date mod is Oct 29, 2005, 11:59 PM
psclient tonight ran quite well whereas during the day it crashed after a few minutes 2 or 3 times. NPCs are still invincible though. But mining worked.
I can give you the logs from both forms of the updater, if you want. Standard updater is rather short but the updater.jar is very long.
-
New Updater.jar available for download (see the Guide for the link). It should fix any lingering bugs, especially when updating without a config file. This also explains some of the weirdness with Updater.jar (I missed a small null pointer issue...).

when i enter in updaterconfig.xml only appaer this :
download.tmp 1 1 1 100 50 0 updater.exe updater.app 0 myproxy 3128 art data docs
wht i can do??? i cant play and my psclient and pssetup dont work...
-
another bug i noticed is the toolbar keeps disappearing again, an old bug that has returned
-
Timarius: Try opening updaterconfig.xml in TextEdit instead of a web browser, then you will be able to see and edit the entire file. The .xml extension makes the computer think it\'s a web file.
Thanks!

thx now the psclient work but i can play...i have made a account in the page of planeshift but when i put de user and de password a window appaer and tell me \"no account found whit that name\" ??
-
Did you click the activation link in the verification email?
-
so everything is going fine now. the game mostly works and we\'ve got an updater for anything extra. but hows about giving us a little heads up when the next big down time will be.
thanks
-
December... ish? That\'s the general feeling I get, but hopefully it won\'t be a \"big\" downtime this time. We\'ll get the update out fast (I hope). :)
-
I seem to have a solution to the Nvidia/10.3.9 problem, but it will require a binary update. I\'ll let you all know when it happens!
Regarding things like dark polygons in the deathrealm and elsewhere, we now know exactly what causes it, but in this case there is unfortunately no \"good\" solution. I relight locally and don\'t run the updater, some people run without lightmaps.
Regarding pssetup crashing, that is because I deleted an important file before making the update. Sorry \'bout that!
Thanks,
Daniel

greetings everybody
I learnt from the \"news\" page of planeshift.it that the issue of the black textures in the death realm has been fixed. \"cool :) my character will leave it soon!\" i thought.
yes, but when i launched updater.app, a problem occurred because of the mirrors - sorry but i don\'t really know what exactly, \'cos i was doing sumthing else at the same time, but i just noticed that the updater had closed on its own - , so that i decided to launch ChaOs\'s updater.jar. no problem this time, all the files were updated, including the art/world/deathrealm.zip one. then launched psclient : it has came back to its .011 version!
of course there was no way to join the server because of the version, so i opened updater.app once again. even if it wasn\'t the right version either (1.0.2.6 instead of 1.0.2.8), the updating seemingly succeeded. but right now, psclient, pssetup and updater.app won\'t run anymore :\'( updater.jar is the only one that still works, but it says that all the files are up-to-date.
of course i know that the \"unexpected quit\" problem has already been addressed, but i haven\'t found the right answer in the existing thread, and i really don\'t know what to do to solve this.
Should i download again the whole package from the \"downloads\" page of the planeshift\'s site? please tell me what to do or show me the threads dealing with this that i might not have noticed?
thanks

Have you read Important: READ BEFORE POSTING: A Guide to Running Planeshift on Mac OS X ( 1 2 3 ) try No.
4. The next step (once the update is finished) is to set the permission bits so that you can run the client. You\'ll need to set the permission bits through Terminal. Open Terminal, located at /Applications/Utilities/Terminal(.app). In the Terminal window, type \"cd \" (note the space \" \" after \"cd\"). Then, locate your Planeshift 3D folder in the Finder and drag it into the open Terminal window. Press return.
Then type:
\"chmod 755 psclient.app/Contents/MacOS/psclient\"
and press return.
And then type:
\"chmod 755 pssetup.app/Contents/MacOS/pssetup\"
and press return.
Finally, type
\"chmod 755 updater.app/Contents/MacOS/updater\"
and press return.
hope this is your problem, good luck. :))
-
well, seems like i should have read the guide a little more, heh? actually it was the first time i used the terminal but thanks to ChaOs\' tips it was not very difficult...
i\'ll remember what to do if that happens again. now PS runs and it\'s the right version, thanks for the help r.guppy ;)
see you all later out of the death realm! :P

Updater.jar does this automatically, however, only when it updates. If you want to make it do it, delete a small file (something like vfs.cfg) and then run Updater.jar.
-
is there a way to fix pssetup
-
A tempery fix if you kept dmg.11 is drag over old pssetup and pssetup.cfg, to your Planeshift folder and replace the new ones, then set permissions.
4. The next step (once the update is finished) is to set the permission bits so that you can run the client. You\'ll need to set the permission bits through Terminal. Open Terminal, located at /Applications/Utilities/Terminal(.app). In the Terminal window, type \"cd \" (note the space \" \" after \"cd\"). Then, locate your Planeshift 3D folder in the Finder and drag it into the open Terminal window. Press return.
Then type:
chmod 755 updater.app/Contents/MacOS/updater
Every time you update they will be moved to bin so you will have to retrieve till fix is posted. :))
