A bugfix release is planned to happen soon, so stay tuned.
Sidenote: The server hasn\'t changed, it\'s still the same as in version .13, well with new server sofware version but the same machine after all ;)

EDIT:

Adding a direct download for a Ojaroad file that sorts the crash, following the instructions in the next post to this one.

EDIT 2:

Hope the file is working :P
Get the file and replace the one you\'ve in program files/planeshift crystal blue/art/world

Adding another mirror. I found a free hosting for files up to 500 MB, rapidshare doesn\'t set a maximum number of downloads per file, but perhaps the servers were filled when people attempted to access the file (wait the specified time, select \"Don\'t want a premium (...) free download links\" after waiting a bit, select a mirror for the download to start)

Post by: Syilph on April 11, 2006, 12:49:41 pm: Here is a fix for the problem when loading map ojaroad.
Submited by Dfryer:

1 Open your /planeshift/Art/World directory and unzip the file ojaroad01.zip.

2 Open the file named \"world\" (without any extension) with a text editor and find the line:

.

3 Cut that string but be carefull not to cut the tag too and then find the lines:

crystalspace.terraformer.simple.loader
simpleojaroad_heightmap_256.gif

4 Paste the line you\'ve cut before after:

so the segment will look like:

crystalspace.terraformer.simple.loader
simpleojaroad_heightmap_256.gif

5 Rezip the whole thing and then overwrite the file ojaroad01.zip with the new archive.
Be carefull not to rezip the whole directory if you put the files in one.

6 Launch the client and enjoy ;)

Post by: Monk_ on April 11, 2006, 09:23:18 pm: Any chance of more/better hosting for the file? It\'s not accessible due to max downloads or something.

Post by: Karyuu on April 11, 2006, 09:30:29 pm: Sounds like it would be easier to just edit the file, really.

The NPC\'s are still in the sector Ojaroad1.
For some reason they are spawned 768m below they\'re
original place, so no one can fight them for the moment.

I reported the problem already and spoke with a member of the developers.
The developer would talk about it with the rest of the
rest of the developingteam.

On a different issue.

I was happy to read the memory leaks in the sound were resolved but now find the sound distorted and barely audible.

Post by: Syilph on April 12, 2006, 08:28:31 am: The only reason i didn\'t post a file here is because posting a modifyed file is somehow a violation of the PS licence. And yes, all the NPCs are below the map, or beter to say, the map had the wrong coordinates i think floating above the NPCs. We hope it will be fixed untill the time of the new release.

Post by: Brenin on April 12, 2006, 08:26:26 pm: I\'m free! I\'m free! (Brenin jumps around giddily.) Many thanks to those who posted the patch.

How _green_ the Oja road through the wilderness is now. Surely the path itself should be worn down to the dirt, no? And all those bushes and tall grass in the road! They\'d be long gone. (They\'re also making my trek down the path painfully jerky, I assume on account of all that rendering.) At least the grass around the Laanx temple has been mowed. ;)

Post by: DaveG on April 13, 2006, 05:30:52 pm: t2vanden: STOP POSTING! Shut up, and go do something else. If you couldn\'t follow the instructions, chances are we\'re not going to be able to instruct you how to do it. Just wait until the new package is out.

Edited to add:
The fix is in the new package just posted, and will be on the update servers sometime soon.
