Yeah, windows does nothing for me either!
Well thanks for atleast making one eventually.

Cool! :)
Why isn\'t this on the official site?

My guess is as follows:

The linux version is not done, the file on sourceforge is just the planeshift files, not the engine of the CEL, as soon as they packed those as well they will have a linux version

During installation:
Linux detected, installation aborted, because windows cannot be installed on systems that are owned by people who are to smart to buy our products (to prevent lawsuits).

Or,
* Blue screen of installation death *
Kernel failure, unknown FS detected on 123524:2351AA:23565\\\\kjh14334.

Only when I install Tuxpaint (or other paint prog) and paint the screen blue :D, but then I will copy/paste a nice pinguin into it and install it on your system (as a .BMP file, so that your HD will be full). And than will I have a nice dream of all windoze users that are terrorized by pinguins :D

Have a nice dream!

If we could drop this whole linux vs. windows debate for a moment, when will the linux version be out, the site says a couple of days, the last time I checked a couple was 2. Its been more than 2 days since the windows release, the linux users are loosing the treasure hunt before it even starts. Hurry up god dammit.

Sorry to be such an asshole, but I want MB too!

Title:
Post by: Sharaz on March 11, 2003, 03:24:43 pm

I completely agree, but since the windows users are having too much fun playing, we\'ll have to be content with a little whinedo$ - Linux bashing to pass the time.... ;)

But I agree with you question:
What\'s keeping the Linux version? :(

Title:
Post by: Chlerval on March 11, 2003, 07:35:33 pm

I tried the tarball (above), but it caused segfaults.
So I installed CS myself and let PS run over my new build (hmm.. like the sound of it..... my new build..... my new build.... my new build..... eh. sorry)
And it worked, until the last page of the char creation. Then I got the segfaults again. :(
Tried my own build of cel, but no luck.
And to get the whole thing from CVS (and come to the conclusion that it somehow won\'t build) is something that I will avoid.

So devs, PLEASE, release the Linux version.

Title:
Post by: tv-casualty on March 11, 2003, 09:35:20 pm

yeah, i tried the tarball, pewp! is it ready yet? is it ready yet?

Post by: Sarth on March 12, 2003, 01:21:41 am

This is being looked at. My understanding is that there were some compile problems or some such thing ...

Hopefully it won\'t be too far away, but things happen that you don\'t expect I guess.

We\'re all chomping at the bit to get to this MB release, yeah it\'s damn annoying that the windows users are miles ahead of the GNU/Linux folk in the crystal hunt, but spare a thought for the mac users ... (although, again, people are busy working on this as we speak)

And spare a thought for devs who have yet to see the MB release too (hint)  ;(

Title: bump!
Post by: Nod on March 13, 2003, 04:09:24 am

bumping this back up to the top and i hope the Linux version will be updated at the same time that windows is or I wil have to wait 1 week after every patch... but the game is free so who am i to ask anything.

I will say thanks though!

Right now to my knowledge there is no one working on improving the Linux distro to work better.  Perhaps one of you 1337 linux guys here on this forum would like to tackle that?

Yes, well I have a mac, so I don\'t care for windows or linux, although I prefer Linux, I suppose, since it isn\'t Windoze. Best oxymoron I\'ve heard: Microsoft Works

Post by: Culsoron on March 13, 2003, 11:02:07 am

I can\'t believe wat Im hearing here, no one is working one the linux version ? Get your act together devs. This doesn\'t qualifiy to cross platform at all. Im new to linux, and altough I regard myself as quite decent in it, I have no clue about what to do to make a package better. How about contacting some skilled linux users somewhere ? There must be someone out there willing to do the job. And if you are missing someone to make the linux version why post \"just a few days\" on the main site. ARFGH, im really lost in anger here. GET IT TOGETHER !!!!

Just as a sidenote; it\'s fine and dandy for you to get your knickers in a twist over X not being done, and not being happy about that.

But we\'re an open-source project, and we\'re dependent on the community to provide us with the resources necessary to make these things happen.

We\'re all doing our best to provide the best possible release; but things slip through the fingers of even the best of hands, and we\'re not perfect.  Nowhere did anyone say that nobody was working on the Linux version of PlaneShift; merely that coming up with any kind of \'advanced\' packaging of PlaneShift, at the moment, isn\'t being chased by anyone at the moment.

If you\'re good at packaging products, or know someone who is, put them in touch with us.  Use that anger to fuel action, not to rip out the hearts of those of us who understand your anger, and our doing our bests to alleviate its causes.  Take a pro-active stance and help us solve these problems, and try to understand that we\'re doing our best.

After a little bit to eat and a lot of enya in my ears I am at peace with myself and everyone else, sorry for my outburst. I understand that even people like you sometimes come short. I love you for what you have done so far and I love you for understanding rude assholes like myself. I do not know anyone good at packaging linux thingy\'s. But I will look for someone in where I can think of looking. again, very sorry for the outburst.

Huh????  The web site says a couple days, which I assume was written when they put out the Windows release.  Why the lie?  I dual boot, but any time I can avoid winblows, I do.

Someone on the team made a distro for Linux, which you can download from our SF.net page.  However, this distro appears to ONLY work out of the box on Gentoo distros of linux, and the guy who made it has since quit the team.  Everyone else is busy fixing bugs (on 3 operating systems), or doing other things.  Download the distro to get the content and compile PS yourself if you are desperate.  If you are desperate and good, make a new linux distro that works across many versions of LInux and be a hero to your community!

Im looking inot this now, got a friend of mine to look at it as well,but my question is the CS and CEL packages, are they included in the tar.bz file at sourceforge as well ? or will we have to get them ?

You will need to build them fresh for each distro you produce.

I have build today a Linux version on a Slackware 8.1 (CEL CVS , Crystal CVS , Planeshift CVS , jam 2.5) and it seems to works fine .
I can create a char , but unfortunatly , after i click on upload , i get the message :
\"you are not running the correct version of Planeshift for this server\"

Title:
Post by: ifog on March 15, 2003, 01:50:57 am

Should i have a 0.2.007 or a 0.2.006 to connect to the server ?
(i have downloaded and compiled the 3 CVS tonight and my psclient is only a 0.2.006 )

For Planeshift you should take the MB branch. To switch PS
to the MB branch in cvs do the following:

cvs -z9 -q update -d -P -rMB

Post by: ifog on March 17, 2003, 12:18:43 am

I m not Planeshift dev team member so i probably can\'t provide you a Linux binary (it\'s not a GPL game) :
But i can tell you how i made my own MB build :
(read the compiling.txt in Planeshift archive too ) :

**Crystal** :
cd /tmp
export CVSROOT=\":pserver:anonymous@cvs.crystal.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/crystal\"
cvs -z3 co CS
cd CS
./configure
make -k all
make install
export CRYSTAL=/usr/local/crystal

**Jam **:
Download jam 2.5 :
http://ftp://ftp.perforce.com/pub/jam/jam-2.5.zip
unzip
make
./jam install

**CEL **:
cd /usr/local
export CVSROOT=\":pserver:anonymous@cvs.cel.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/cel\"
cvs -z3 co cel
cd cel
./configure
jam
export CEL=/usr/local/cel
export CSCONFPATH=$CEL

**Planeshift **:
cd /usr/local
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/planeshift login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/planeshift co planeshift
cd planeshift
cvs -z9 -q update -d -P -rMB
./autogen.sh
./configure
jam

**Download the last linux release :
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/planeshift/planeshift-0.2.6.tar.bz2?download
Copy the ART and DATA directory in your planeshift directory (/usr/local/planeshift).

et voila
PS : Don\'t forget the 3 export

Great, thanks a lot. This will come in handy. And devs, why can\'t his files be used ? Are there som issues within your licence ?
