Title: Question: Completion of the 3016 update for Mac Users
Post by: Radix on September 22, 2006, 02:55:58 am

When will it be possible for a MAC User to see the Kran amor, and other Update changes ?  Following all the tips to get online has been easy enough.  But no changes have been apparent.  I have searched, and the only answer seems to be the absense of a a bittorrent version. If such a downloadable version will complete the access to the 3016 changes on macs that is fine. I am just looking for confirmation that there is not an Updater path already available to enable the changes.  Thank you in advance.

I am seeing everything, too. Did you use the java updater?

If you mean the one from the MAC guide, yes. And even created a kran to test. No luck. What sequence was used by anyone that has been successful getting the full down load, was it just lots of attempts until you were able to see the changes, or was it straight forward, since Sept 17th?  I will try from a clean 3015 and see if that works, but I believe I did that.

I did have to let the java updater run a couple of times for some reason, and I did this with a fresh copy of the directory from the torrent download. It has all been working for me since that first release on the 17th (was that the day?). No problems otherwise, unless you count trying to read bright orange text on a gray background...

I just ran the Java updater once over my previous installation. *shrugs* Tell us how it goes.

My blind spot has been revealed.  I used a copy of my last 3015 version, and then the critical issue.
All this time I had mistakenly believed that updater.jar worked with the original, as a support file.
When used alone, it completed my 3016 update.  Thanks for confirmation that it was possible through updater.  I used the updater.jar  file from the MAC Guide for running PS on the MAC.

Correction, I have made progress, but so far I actually only have Kran sitting. His armor is not yet visible.  So it seems updater repeats may be needed, but first I will learn what other new features have been enabled.

Thanks again !

At this moment only the chain mail torso armor is shown as armor for the Kran.
I have always been using a Kran-character ingame.
The rest of the armor is not showing for now.
Maybe the developers will create it in one of the follwing updates.
Sitting is a new feature for the Kran too, yes.

Only Kran Torso, That's great.  My test was on one i had that given it away to a fighting friend.  I think I am up tp code limits finally..  :woot:

EDIT:  Was not blaming the game, I was seeking insight to isolate my particular situation. I was never attacking anyone.  No defensive comments were needed..  And thanks one more time, in case it was missed before.. :D
