Title: Character creation problem
Post by: mikasaari on November 06, 2005, 11:51:28 am

Hello,

  I have troubles getting past the character creation. The Next button after selecting name, class and gender doesn\'t work. The question is might this be caused by binary package I downloaded and updated ? And should I consider compiling the PS from CVS by myself ?

  Thanks a lot for tips,
    -Mika

Looks like a mismatch in versions between client and server.

My client is updated to work with the official server, but my local server that I use for testing is not. When I try to connect to my local server, symptoms are the same.

Use the Xordan\'s installer and apply the latest patch. Both can be found here (http://www.planeshift3d.com/wbboard/thread.php?threadid=19389&boardid=41&styleid=2&sid=94cc17b13468cffe93df8537bcfaf97b).

If you know how to use cvs, have compilers and development tools installed, then yes, compile from CVS. Then you will have the source code available and perhaps can help finding and fixing more bugs :)

Thanks thousands times !

  It is working now, I used the earlier .bin from same thread. Seems that I was downloading the early binary just before the new one was uploaded.

  I shall still take a look to the CVS later on.

  Thanks once more,

Am I the only one who can\'t decompress PlaneShift-CBV0.3.0.12-r3-i686.tar.bz2 ? I have downloaded the file several times, always the same error message.

markus@minastirith:~/download/Planeshift> bunzip2 PlaneShift-CBV0.3.0.12-r3-i686.tar.bz2

bunzip2: Data integrity error when decompressing.
        Input file = PlaneShift-CBV0.3.0.12-r3-i686.tar.bz2, output file = PlaneShift-CBV0.3.0.12-r3-i686.tar

It is possible that the compressed file(s) have become corrupted.
You can use the -tvv option to test integrity of such files.

You can use the `bzip2recover\' program to attempt to recover
data from undamaged sections of corrupted files.

Try to download the file again, and be aware that you can use tar to decompress bzipped tarball archives.

($ tar xvjf PlaneShift-CBV0.3.0.12-r3-i686.tar.bz2)

Ok, i downloaded the file one more time.

psclient.bin
pssetup.bin

try this in the directory you want to extract to it is my usual way of dealing with bz2 tarballs

Code: [Select]

tar xvf --bzip2 /path/to/PlaneShift_CBV0.3.012P-r3.i686.bin

and of course replace the /path/to/ with the dir you downloaded to :)

*edit typos as ever

After several downloads I downloaded the file into a different directory and named it huch.tar.bz2. Now the file decompressed without errors. I don\'t know why but it\'s ok. *g*
