Title: Widget Error - Skills Window
Post by: Ulam on November 20, 2005, 12:58:46 am

When I load up the game the Skill Window widgets fail to load.  And game freezes about then as well.

Actually - I was getting both the Small Inventory Window widget error and the Skills window.  From the forum I found and applied the small inventory window fix.  That took care of that one.

I deleted the skillswindow.xml file and ran updater.  Still have the problem.  

Any ideas?  Or can someone post what the skillswindow.xml file should look like so I can compare.

Thanks

Ulam, that\'s a new one.  I can\'t play the game from home, so I\'ll try it on Monday.  Hopefully someone experienced will have this problem too and will post the fix.

If you build from CVS use the gui XML files from the CVS.

Ulam, it\'s too long to post to the forum.  I\'ve put it on my PS mirror.  Download it here:

http://www.zobiana.com/planeshift/skillwindow.xml

Note that this is skillwindow.xml, not skillswindow.xml.  Also note I still get the errors (widget errors), however the game starts.  In fact I\'m trying to get out of the DR now.

EDIT:

I\'m also going to put the smallinventory.xml file that I use here:

http://www.zobiana.com/planeshift/smallinventory.xml

And since this post has been moved up to important information, here are the installation directions:

See you in the game!

EDIT:  1/30/06  I too have since installed on a third computer recently and did not incurr the widget error.  Araye

If you have other widgets failing to load on startup, please write them down and we will look at it, because atm I have personally not this problem.

The linux binary needs a version of the xml that is newer than the one the windows binary needs, and the one in the updater. There\'s no code problem here, just a slight incompatibility.

I meant to give a generic advise.

Sometimes it might happen that you get problems with for example latest CVS because data and code are not fixed properly. It has happend before, it will happen in the future :-)

Ah right, ok :)

Title: There is a new client release today...
Post by: Araye on February 24, 2006, 10:48:46 pm

The old client won\'t work anymore and the instructions in this thread are no longer valid.

As of this posting 4:48pm EST 2/24/06, linux users must build from cvs...  there IS NOT a client download yet.

Xordan will make a new release for Linux soon.  You\'ll need to wait for that one way or another, to get the new art.  (you can also get the art from the update servers, once they\'re ready)
