EDITED now that Cha0s\'s instructions have been updated :)
Currently the Sourceforge-hosted vfs.cfg is unavailable, should be back in a day or two.
If you have problems, DO NOT post in this thread, please post in the stickied thread at the top of the forum!
Thanks,
Daniel

If what you read here is to complicated ive written a very in depth and simple walkthrough that can be used by someone with not much computer know how http://www.planeshift3d.com/wbboard/thread.php?threadid=13164&boardid=33&sid=2e5433c3d69a665a5b451dd3cbf9ab31&page=15

thanx! it works now!

If even after following the stated procedure to the letter you still get this error when checking the Console after the psclient starts up, plays music, flashes the splash screen and quits again before loading anything...
\"dyld: /Applications/PlaneShift 3D/psclient.app/Contents/MacOS/psclient can\'t open library: /usr/local/lib/libcal3d.11.dylib (No such file or directory, errno = 2)\"
...Then you need to go back into psclient\'s Contents -> Resources folder and copy the libcal3d.11.dylib file found there into the /usr/local/lib/ folder. There\'s probably a more elegant way to do it, but this solves the problem for me.
Edit: Doh! Nevermind me, I\'m just re-emphasizing that you make sure you do BOTH parts of step 6. Darn those multi-paragraph steps.
-
*points to end of step 6. You skipped that didn\'t you? :P
-
when i went to do the step 4 i didn\'t find the file libpng.12.0.dylib .... I don\'t have it. So how i can solve this problem ?
I had already done the update ...
4. Open your Planeshift 3D folder and control-click psclient(.app). Select \"Show Package Contents.\" Open the contents folder and then Resources. Then, open a new window (File-> New Finder Window) and select Go->Go to Folder. Type in \"sw\" and hit return. If the file doesn\'t exist, go to your hard drive and create a new folder there called \"sw\". In the sw folder, look for a folder called \"lib\". If it doesn\'t exist, again, create it. Then, copy the file libpng.12.0.dylib from your Resources folder to your lib folder.
thanx for who answer it
-
If you updated correctly you have it. Note that the downloaded version is NOT the most up to date version. You MUST update via my updater or the normal one and they must run successfully to completion. Otherwise you can just forget the rest of the steps. It is possible that the server is down and thus you couldn\'t update. In the case you\'ll just have to wait until it comes back up.
-
Sorry Chaos i made a mistake ! I was searching the file in the last psclient .... not the new one after the update!!!!
Ok I got into the game but I have some problems in doing my carachter ... that I cant give him a job or put skills .... because didn\'t show in his creation the skills that I can give to him or the jobs...
is that normal ??
And one more thing..... when I\'m the server uploading the hyplaa Plaza ... i waited more or less 40 minutes and nothings happens ...the is uploading but doesn\'t finish ... very estrange ..... I went to see if the server was down but it wasn\'t ..... I don\'t know what to do
I thought in your last post that I need to do a update with the real updater from the game than the yours ... but when i will update this aplication didn\'t respond .... can I update Planeshift in the \"terminal\"?
THanks for the patience!!!
thanx CHAOS for all your hard work for Mac users ... but I\'m still trying to play ...maybe one day I see u there heehe
-
I got a little problem : I have done all the stuff you said, but it says
\"You are not running the correct version of Planeshift for this server.\"
I ran the updater, but it quitted instantly (it seemed to be a normal quit).
What is the matter (I have seen : \"PlaneShift Crystal Blue (0.3.006)\") ?
-
I understand that you dont want to get the thread cluttered but what I dont understand is when you write DONT USE THIS: next to both links to the edited vfs file and I am sure that has confused other people too who are trying to use this guide.
-
Oops!
I fixed it. :)
-
chaos 2 questions how come when i run the ps updater it says \"server has other updater going to fetch it?\" and when i run the ps updater it updates fine but then when i run your updater there are more things to update?
-
It took me ages but I did all your steps, played it fine for about 30 minutes. Come back a day later and it told me to update...
now, when I try and open planeshift it says I need to update.... so I do...
now, the little icon only appears for a second, then disappears. It won\'t update using its own updater.
So... yeah... all that work for nothing, huh?
-
the updater says it finishes but also says that it had error writing and copying the repository. I don\'t have the needed recourse files when i go to copy the lib thing to the other sw folder either. help?
-
when i get to the step in terminal to type in \"chmod 755 psclient\" it tells me that file or folder does not exist....and now the application won\'t start up at all....any help would be appreciated....
-
hey guys, i finally suscribe myself to this forum !!!!
Well, i really think that if mac people used the version 006 it will work on the server because some of french guys (like me) succeed to play at juanuary with the 006 version.
For myself i tried many configurations stupid trying to mix versions and i finish to have the 007 not runnig on the because of the bac version and the 006 juste showing the first image without doing the loading SO i would try with the 006 load but it can\'t
So try to mix it up ! or tell me how can i do to run 006 at least doing the loading
Thnx and thnx again to all your help everyones

Well, 3.006 does not exist anymore. If you really want to play you will have to download 3.009 and look under the thread \"a guide to running Planeshift for Mac OS X\" done by Chaos. He has upgrade the guide dated May 29, 2005. Also look at what dfyer has posted recently.
He is the developer of Mac for PS.
Good luck

Ahem, I\'m a \"he.\" ;)
Also, I\'ve updated my updater (hehe) with some new GUI features and a bug fix. Feel free to download from the above link.
-
My psclient does not open. My updater does not open. The base was the download off Mirror 1. I have done everything here. I really want to get playing this game..
-
No matter what you do it won\'t run right now. Wait for updates tomorrow night.
-
It ready? I am not impatient but just checking in. *eager to play* :D :D
-
If dfryer logs onto IRC I\'ll nag him about getting the game to work. For now you just have to wait. :/
-
No nagging! :P Let him take his time. He IS a volunteer after all.
-
Cool...so, if it isnt up tonight, should we be upset, or just optimistic towards the next day? lol Just kidding....Its nice that someone would take time out of their schedule to fix bugs for us :-)

He\'s also very busy with classes, and we want him to do well, don\'t we? ;)
You will enjoy Planeshift soon enough, no need to worry about it :]
-
Well as long as we keep posted on any progress, I think its good :-)

Come on now. What\'s more important, his grades or my ability to play PlaneShift. I think we all know the answer to that one.
-
Lol
(obvious lack of social life)
Hey, thats ok, I dont have a social life really either...and yea, playing the game would be cooler than anything, but you gotta value the guys need for a higher education....never know, he could even be learning more about how to fix the problems that we\'re havin in the game. :-)
-
Gotta love the activity of threads....oh well, its cool....peace, I\'ll check back with the forum later tonight
-
Just wondering ?( . Really want to play. I think it\'s great there are people who do this for no money. Life must be good.
-
This thread and the Mac Client Status thread will be updated when it\'s working. Just be patient. When it is available for download, we won\'t keep it a secret. :P
-
where is the \"above link\" chaos?
-
Come on! Please. Read the first post of the thread. It has everything you need.
-
YAY IT FINALLY WORKS CHEERS!
p.s. whens the new characters going to be added

Hi-
It sounds like some people are having success getting into planeshift now, unfortunately I\'m not one of them. I downloaded, updated (using the unofficial updater), and fixed permission bits on 1 June. I still get nothing when I double click on psclient.app. No overt error message, but the console reads:
===== Friday, June 3, 2005 9:33:30 AM US/Pacific =====
SCF_WARNING: class planeshift.sound.soundmanager (from /Applications/Planeshift 3D/pssound.csplugin) has already been registered in the same context `app\' (in /Applications/Planeshift 3D/psclient.app/Contents/Resources/pssound.csplugin)
Crystal Space for MacOS/X 0.99 r0 [MacOS/X-powerpc-GCC]
Ported to MacOS/X by Eric Sunshine
[40m[31m[1mERROR: [0mcsInitializer::SetupConfigManager failed!
Is your CRYSTAL environment variable set?
I have a brand new Powerbook running osX 10.4.1- let me know if you need more specs to help troubleshoot
I saw it mentioned somewhere that you could open the client using the terminal- how do you do this?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Thanks,
Alan
-
Hey, I know how to fix that....sorry, but you\'ll have to do step 5 every single time you want to play it...I just did the same thing......try using the jar program in step five again...it\'ll open the terminal and will open the game AUTOMATICALLY...you cant click on the application itself, cuz the application still doesnt work....you have to use the java thing to open it each time until the problem is officially fixed.....if you need step five for the terminal, I\'ll say it here
Just open the terminal and type \"cd \" (make sure there is a space after the cd)....then drag your planeshift folder into your terminal...press enter after that.....then type this in, or copy and paste it from here...
\"./psclient.app/Contents/MacOS/psclient\"
I\'m sorry but you\'ll have to do this each time you want to run the game...still better than not being able to play at all
-
Ok, the reason it\'s not launching from the GUI is most likely because the vfs.cfg file in the updater is Mac-Unfriendly. If you have an untouched copy of the Planeshift v3.009, you should be able to copy vfs.cfg from that and overwrite the version that you\'re using, else search a couple of threads in here for vfs.cfg and there might be a link to a working copy.
EDIT: Until you get that working, starting it from terminal is like this (These instructions assume you have planeshift in /Applications/Planeshift3D
Open terminal
Type cd /Applications/Planeshift3D
Hit Return
Type ./psclient.app/Contents/MacOS/psclient
Hit Return again.

Hey all,
I\'ve been following this thread really closely... the game is that exciting to me... but I regret to say that I am still having trouble... even at this stage... after all your hard work... for which I am grateful.
Alright, so I have gotten the program to update using the terminal to access the planeshift updater, and I\'ve even tried it with chaos\' updater... both worked fine... inasmuch as they both produced the result of making the psclient do nothing at all... ok. no biggie. Replacing vfs.cfg with the original copy as was suggested today helped out a lot. PSClient now opens, and you get the pretty splash screen with the four heads and the Pseudo Isengard towers. Very nice!
But now there is another problem. The loading bar at the bottom of the splash screen does nothing... if we are to believe what is happening there, the program is not loading the files that activate the game.
Loading it from the terminal gives a little bit more information. Here are the lines that I think really speak up about the situation:
crystalspace.pluginmgr.loadplugin:
WARNING: could not load plugin \'cel.pcfactory.defaultcamera\'
HEY HEY
crystalspace.application.celtest:
CEL \'cel.pcfactory.defaultcamera\' plugin missing!
Anyone know what\'s going on here? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I\'m anxious to get a look at this masterpiece of opensource engineering...
Thanks much! --------Wayne Heart
-
Download Cha0s\' updater again to make sure you have the latest version. Move it to the Planeshift folder, run Cha0s\' updater with both options checked off. It should download the default camera plugin. After that you will be able to run the psclient.app from the Terminal. If you have done all this correctly the game should not be able to open from the double-clickable game icon. The only way right now is from the command line.
-
Check out the first post. The directions have been an updated with a link to the old vfs file. Planeshift should be double-clickable again after copying that file. :)
-
i got as far as 3b and now the updater wont even luanch . nor will anything else.
-
Did you launch the downloaded Updater.jar file and use it to update?
-
I did all the above and the Terminal just says
./psclient.app/Contents/MacOS/psclient: Permission denied.
what do i do? plz?
-
You clearly didn\'t do everything I said to do. See step 4.
P.S. You need to be an administrator...
-
I opened chaos\'s new download, but instead of it downloading, it just opened a new browser window and showed a bunch of letters and words and numbers......what do I do?
-
THe same thing happened to me whats going on?
-
ok, I figured it out...click on save linked file....or just save whatever the file is...save it to your desktop, then drag it into your planeshift folder....it\'ll say that it already is in there, and if you should replace it..just say yea...then the PS client will work
-
Cheers mate that was some good work well done it worked for me!
-
Ok, its not working now.....its saying that the server failed :-(....it hates me
-
well it hasnt happened to me yet but if you find the solution post it
ill keep my fingers crossed it wont happen to me thanks again.
-
Not a problem...and yea, I just got rid of the updater thing that chaos posted, and I\'m redownloading it, hoping that he updated the updater along with the file he put up yesterday...so hopefully thats it..if not, I\'ll pm chaos and tell him.. :-)
-
Even though i have planeshift up and running it still quite frequently unexpectedly quits is there any way to stop this?
-
Not that I know of. I\'d try running Planeshift by itself (no other open apps) as it takes a lot of RAM/processor, but other than that you\'ll have to ask dfryer.
-
chaos is right...it did that for me too...I now have no other programs open except aim and planeshift (and currently this)
And If anyone else gets the error, when signing in, that tells you that the server failed....then get rid of the updater that chaos posted, and redownload it...thats what I did, and it works now :-)
-
ok. so i did manage to get it up nd running etc. well half way there anyway. i managed to get the screen up . and it stayed blank and froze my computer.... any idea what happened ?
edit : ok i tried it again and it bounces rapidly in the dock twice and wont start .... any ideas ?
-
Did you run Cha0s\' updater and get all the latest updates?
-
I\'ve had it crash a couple times when entering buildings. Once was a bus error and once was a segmentation fault. Everything was updated except the vfg file. Either tonight or some time tomorrow I\'ll update that and see if I can duplicate the problem.
-
I did all of this including the account part, but it still turns on and off without even music or first scene loading. plz help
-
Make sure you have my latest updater. This is important. Also, do the steps in order and follow them exactly. Also, note that you only do either a or b if there are two options. Not both. If you still can\'t get it working, post EXACTLY what you are doing and post your OS version. Also post any output from the updater.
-
there are still pitch black areas on my planeshift they arnt filled with any detail its just black
can anyone help?
-
Two questions just to make sure you didn\'t miss them:
1) Did you replace the vfs.cfg file with the one in the first post?
1.a) If you have, has the updater been run since you did that/
2) Are you trying to start psclient through the terminal?
3) Are there any error messages in the Console application?
Okay, so I can\'t count.
Edit: This is to santagonewrong. I didn\'t see the two post on this page.
-
To Druean
You have to relight the area. Quit when you are in the dungeon.
Open Terminal. Type cd (and a space), drag your planeshift folder to the terminal window. Hit return. Type ./psclient.app/Contents/MacOS/psclient -relight. Hit return. Log on when the window open. Sit back and wait. When the game finally has loaded, then quit and start again by normal double-clicking.
If you do it right, it solves the problem.
-
Note that when you login with \"-relight\" it will take an EXCEPTIONALLY long time to load (times over half an hour have been reported on some of the older computers and bigger areas). This is normal for \"-relight\" and you\'ll have to be patient.
-
when i right click on the vfs file it goes to a website, but it doesnt load all the way. How can i download this file.
-
Use control-click. Then select \"Download File,\" \"Save File,\" etc. Whatever it is (depends on your OS).
-

yeah i downloaded everything and moved it back to my planeshift folder. did the check thing and replaaced the file. and it didnt seem to work .
-
Thanks Colim and ChaOs
the -relight method worked for me
-
One more question about relighting do you have to keep the terminal open ever time you go on planeshift or just when your loading it up after youve told it to relight in the terminal?
-
sorry to post yet again.
can u use the relight method at any dark area in the game and not just the dungeons?
-
To Druean
You don\'t have to keep the terminal open once you have relighted and quit planeshift. You start as normal by doubleclicking the program, and the new light are still there.
Yes you can use the relight in any area, but it should not be necessary other than the dungeons.
-
colim i did wat you said but when i logged bck in the lights were gone and areas were pitch black again any advice?
-
Try fixing permissions as there may be a permissions problem in your Planeshift 3D folder somewhere preventing the new lightmap from being saved.
To do this, open Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility. Select your hard drive (the second, silver disk in the list; it should be indented). Then click \"Repair Disk Permissions.\" It should run for a few minutes.
Once that\'s done, quit Disk Utility and try relighting again.
-
ChaOs i tries that \"repairing of disk\" in the disk utility part and re did the terminal thing to relight but again as i loaded planeshift up for the second time, it had changed back to pitch black.
any advice?
-
how do i control click.
-
nvm mind i found out how to control click. when i did it to the link, it didnt say anything about save to desktop or anything like that. all i got was save to disk. can u help me.
-
this is bull bro, i mean i can\'t get the dang client to open and stay open. everytime i open it, it starts up then flashes off and i cant play it doesnt even get to the start screen or anything it flashes up on my programs then shuts off.
please help me figure out how to get it started this is bulls...
-
keat: \"Save to Disk\" is the same thing (depends on your OS). Select that option.
b4b00ns: You\'ve done everything written on the first page of this guide and it still doesn\'t work?
-
k i downloaded the link and replaced the file. What do i click on to play.
-
Just double-click psclient(.app) and it should work. Enjoy! :)
-
i clicked on it and it quit on me again. guess i either go through the terminal for a while or wait till i can find out how to fix this problem.
-
Do the process over from the beginning and make sure you follow each direction EXACTLY. Remember, only do (a) or (b) in the steps that have two options, not both.
-
I\'ve had repeated problems with the lightmaps and -relight has had only limited success. Is there any way to modify PS so that it lauches with -nolightmapping from a double click? I\'d rather not have to launch it from the terminal every time if there\'s another way.
-
Meet PSClientCMD, version 1.1. :)
See the first post of the thread (at the bottom) for details.
-
Thanks Chaos, works great. :)
-
Good to hear. I did a little testing on my TiBook (with -nolightmapping, actually), but I wasn\'t sure how it would work on other computers. Thanks for the report. :)
-
what does it mean by write arguments. I dont get it. do i like yell something and type it.
*merged by dfryer*
i found out about the arguments. I got to the game. The game loaded and a song started. I tried to log in then bam it crashes. IT says the same thing unexpectedly quits. I tried it again and this time the game unexpectedly quits on me before log in screen comes in.
-
First of all, don\'t dou- err, triple-post.
Second of all, this belongs in it\'s own thread. Why do people keep cluttering this thread, why?
Third of all, would you mind posting a log from Console?
(Open /Applications/Utilities/Console(.app), clear the log, run Planeshift, and copy the text that appears in the log to the forum here.)
-
I would just like to agree with Chaos, posts in this thread should only contribute to the running of PlaneShift on the Mac, and deal with problems posted in the instructions.
-
sorry
-
Maybe that\'s because you didn\'t read. Yes, I know, as newbie it\'s tempting to just post random questions in random threads because you can. But you shouldn\'t. Learn to skim existing topics and use the (http://www.planeshift3d.com/wbboard/images/psnew/top_suche.gif) (http://www.planeshift3d.com/wbboard/search.php?boardid=32) feature please.
For instance, read the first post of this thread. You may find something interesting there.
-
hey, i can\'t find the thing to start up the game
-
Don\'t post the same thing twice. I responded to the thread you created and I\'d prefer if you didn\'t post in here. Thanks.
EDIT: I am locking this thread. If you have any questions or have something that you would like to see added to the guide, please PM me. Thanks!
-
Now i\'ve done it three times, following the instructions throughly each time, and it still doesn\'t work. Do i need to be a rocketscientist for this, or am i just too stupid.
I\'m trying to run Planeshift on an iBook G3 900Mhz, Mac OS 10.3.9. but every time i try to run the client Finder says: The operation could not be completed. An unecpected error occurred (error code -10810).
The console log says nothing.
I first downloaded Planeshift, the client worked fine, but i couldnt log on because the serverversion was not compatible. The updater_old.jar runned fine and completed. Then I cant start the client. Setup works fine by the way.
Any clue?
Thanks for your help.
-
Oops, forgot to relock this. Shouldn\'t be any posts in here. If you could post a new thread, that\'d be great. Meanwhile, also put your specs in User System Specs. iLock.
