Title: 0.3.015 update is ready!
Post by: Talad on July 05, 2006, 10:08:35 am
(news taken from main site)
The new update is finally ready (http://www.planeshift.it/download.html)! Congratulations to the whole team for making this happen. The update was challenging to make because some technology changes were introduced, plus new levels and new features. You can find a detailed log of the changes here (http://www.planeshift.it/update0.3.015.html). Please note that only the windows version is available today, linux and mac will follow shortly.

If you like the update consider to support our project with a donation (http://www.planeshift.it/donations.html) to make PlaneShift bigger and better!

I was one of the first to get it.

I became the second seed and after a minute created 7 more seeds lol.

Sorry if it sounds boastfull but i love Planeshift and I think it's okay to boast about that :). \\o// :lol: :flowers: :thumbup:

OMG OMG OMG!!! This is unbelievable!!! If the server wouldn't crash every 10 minutes, I would have played 48 hours non-stop...

Sweeet. Nice one guys

It's quite fast at the moment (450k download, 60k upload). Good to see people is seeding it after downloading the game. Hopefully all the BitTorrent tips we recommended have been taken into account. Guys, I didn't see anything on the main download page. I'd recommend u putting the tips there so it keeps up this fast :)

Thanks again for a great work. Cant wait to play tonight :)

Why don't you use Bittorrent or something else like Azureus or UTorrent? Ready in 15 mins here...

Ehhhh was it a dumb thing to run the updater and update after installing the update? Because it's updating like crazy for 10 min now and still not ready, it's at 25%...

You should have thought about this before... but you had to buy a Mac...
*SCNR* :P

Back on topic: Is there somewhere a list of changes from version .14 to .15?
I thought I would find it here.. isn't there a versionhistory yet or am I just to stupid to find it?

Cheers

Well, you could read the list (http://www.planeshift.it/update0.3.015.html) directly linked to on the main page.

Post by: Xordan on July 05, 2006, 02:34:32 pm
I'm not sure why the linux client hasn't been released, other than it needing seeding. All the binaries have been ready to get for nearly a week now.... I will check. Server seems quite unstable now anyway :) So you people aren't missing anything.

Edit: I believe we're just waiting on Talad to update the updater mirrors for the linux client. I'll try and make sure we have a torrent up for the full (missing a few art things though) version tonight if I can.

Okey... its me again i downloaded Bittorrent and started the download and its now at 99.9 % and it wont finish of... ??? img getting a bit Grumpy (Dunno if thats even a word) now plz tell me what i can do or give me a Link to a Site that has the client and "Works"
Title: Re: 0.3.015 update is ready!
Post by: Ahriman on July 05, 2006, 03:01:59 pm
Just stop your download, wait a little while, start downloading again. I'll max my bandwidth to seeding PS. \\o//

Post by: Laith on July 05, 2006, 03:09:15 pm
in the list of changes it mentioned something about moving akkihara? What was akihara anyways a city or town? (please dont call me a noob)
Title: Re: 0.3.015 update is ready!
Post by: Santiago on July 05, 2006, 03:23:42 pm
Akkaio is a district (or "Dsar") of the city of Ojaveda. It is the only area of the city currently implemented. I would assume this means that the entire city of Ojaveda was relocated, but perhaps not.

Well, Goldir has shown me some screenshots because i cant get into the gme, mac version and all.
But I'm so Impressed by it. Really am.
its like you flattened out  the whole thing and just went and re did it again. It not only looks about 10 million times  better, it looks like its been done by true professionals.
I cannot wait to get in game. Large E hug to the team on this update, The screenshots and content and the whole update are astounding. Once the server and the mac client are up and steeady, i'm sure the game will be too.

PlaneShift looks about 10 million times better because it is NOT done by true professionals...

...true professionals are paid to find the best fit, lowest common denominator solutions that use shortcuts that no-one has hither-to used before, and to do all of this in such a way as to return the maximum profit to the employers and shareholders and investors.

The PlaneShift Development Team are under no such impediments to the production of quality and high-visual-stunningness!  \\o//

Post by: Helm on July 05, 2006, 04:48:14 pm
Your posts sometimes get really anoying, Zen. The developers are working as fast as they can! Please remember people are working on their FREE time on this project. They also have their LIFE to take care of. The Update is HUGE and therefore you should pay at least some respect to their work.

So you have the unfortunate taste for Macs? Then wait a little bit more! Most of the people have a PC and are allowed to test the game already. If you waited so many days, can't you just wait 3 more days without these complains?

If you thnk they are working too slow, then become a Developer and actually learn the real work behind a game.
Title: Re: 0.3.015 update is ready!
Post by: Ryvis on July 05, 2006, 05:20:04 pm
lol Helm. I actually created a thread about d/l complaints (they locked it right away) Basically, if you're sick of waiting, and can't LIVE without PS, look at the Help Us section on the main page, and learn some skills the development team NEEDS... it looks like a small handful are running the show ATM. That way, not only are you no longer bored without PS, the next updates will be faster and faster!

Edit: For a group that is screaming for help, you guys have done an awesome job. Thanks for your tireless efforts!

I still have no time to download now, but I may do it later tonight.

I have little programing experience.  Though it is hard work (the little scripting and VB stuff I have done).  I appreciate all you guys do!]

If you ever need a network geek to help or creative story help I will... I guess I should seek that out.

Ok, I downloaded bittorent fine.  Problem is I can't seem to open the bit-torrent download page for planescape as it keeps on timing out (understandably) so I thought I'd be clever and coppy the url and try to get bit-torent to download it that way by clicking add.  It apparently "could not download http://laanx.fragnetics.com/bt/PlaneShift_CBV0.3.015.exe.torrent.  Try using a web browser to download the torrent file.  (<urlopean error timed out>)."  Now does this mean that this too timed out somehow (I thought that was impossible) or is there some other way of getting the file from seeds?  I've searched for "Planeshift" and got 0 results which was supprising.
Title: Re: 0.3.015 update is ready!
Post by: LigH on July 05, 2006, 10:02:02 pm
- Download a simple BT client, like "uTorrent".
- Copy the torrent file URL into the client, or download the torrent file with a webbrowser and open it.

uTorrent is just perfect for Windows users: Small, resource saving, DHT supporting, easy to use. The downloaded EXE will run as is, it is no installer.

download the torrent from the site, then open bit torrent and just drag the ps torrent onto it and it should start no problem...

Like I said, when i click on the link for the PS torrent on the main page, it jsut gets me to a page with jumbled characters. Dont belittle my intelligence, i am aware how to use Bit Torrent, its just the link not working how it supposed to on my computer for some reason.

Have you tried right-clicking and Saving As, and then opening the .torrent from within your desktop?

Or have you also tried this (http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=23368.msg267926#msg267926)?

It doesn't work good at all. Will have to send a long list of errors i think.   :'(

Hope it will end soon, and that i can update the update. If the updater finds a server that is.

I tried the last hour to get in and was kicked out every few seconds, or wasn't even able to get in.

Still i won't give up. Love the game to much for it. Must prevale.

Good job Talad's team!

But one thing that would be really appreciated in the next update : new skins for the races :P coz yet even the Lemur skin (that use the elf one) doesnt have the leather armor skin ready.

The Dermorian model has armor, but it had a wrong file name that prevented it from showing up. The update with the fix will come soon.

The dump file: http://www4.upload2.net/download/tez3Sn9mhvRDHiQ/PlaneShift_Version_Jul%2004%202006_Addr00B8D424.dmp or, if that fails http://www.upload2.net/page/upload/id/tez3Sn9mhvRDHiQ/pwd/BwZqqb8hUsmcuku.

Running updater yields:
Checking registry version...
There are no updates available.
Checking for missing/damaged files... This may take a while.
Your updater version is newer than the server's... Server is out of date; stopping.
