The client works fine, and logging in is fine, but whenever you click on something, it does not respond or anything.
EDIT: Hmm, I think it may be fixed now.
EDIT2: Actually no its not fixed, what is going on with the server? Huuuuge lag
EDIT3: Okay, right now(May 7 - ???) when trying to log in at the main screen after loading up the client, the server will have "failed" next to it therefore you are unable to log in until updates are finished I guess...
-
CrystalSpace is being recompiled on the server at the moment, and NPCclient will also be stopped because we need as much CPU power as we can have.
The server is going to be unavailable soon due to a client release, and dev testing on Laanx :)
-
The new release is close to being released? Yea! \\o//
-
::| Oh my ... I really hope that won't interfer with the planned Royal Ball of Printh... :'(
If you are able to finish it before the weekend of 11th/12th May, you developers will be invited! :flowers:
X-/ There is no "else"...
-
Oh cool. I've been waiting for the new release. (I hope the Mac version comes out as quickly as it has been coming recently.) Maybe this will solve some problems I've been having.
-
An update for you guys:
Some of you may know that a major inventory rewrite has been done for this release, and a few weird problems have already been discovered (I swear for the first half hour none of it just made sense (http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/2527/surprisedkp4.gif)). It's very doubtful that a public client will be ready in a day, although the team will try to have everything polished ASAP. Patience is asked of everyone while these issues are cleaned :)
-
Okay, I'd like to clarify a few things, just so I understand.
1. The server is down because of recompiling.
2. Is there a new release underway, i.e. the server is being configured for the new release?
3. The Mac OS X client will not be released for some time — probably several days — after the new release is released?
follow-up: Will Mac Users be able to log on with the old client?
-
The server has already been recompiled for the new client, but it's down to the public because we need to continue internal testing to find some of the more major bugs. Once all the big issues that would impede gameplay are fixed, an official client will be packaged and the server will be open for the players.
Word on the mac client will have to come from dfryer. However, you will not be able to log on using old versions of your client regardless of your platform. The server only accepts the newest client.
-
Thanks for the quick reply!
-
could i be so bold as to ask if there may be any chance of listing a couple of the new things to expect in the update, just so i can ogle over them while patiently waiting for it to go live?
-
(Remove, if spoiler :whistling:)
You would maybe like to take a look at this (http://planeshift.cvs.sourceforge.net/*checkout*/planeshift/planeshift/docs/history.txt)
-
Thanks Rongar, i often check that page, but it doesnt have the info im after, like eg. ive been told repair armour will be implemented this update, but i was curious what else, like any other skills or such
-
Typically in past updates, they don't us anything really becuase they are evil and like us to wait in suspense. ;)
Sooooo, other than the changelog and rumors, guess you'll just have to wait. Or marry a dev and force them to give you the inside scoop. :sorcerer:
-
Wow, Windows Vis ... ehm, PlaneShift 0.3.19 is here
I hope they won't let the just the old inventory there, i am looking forward anything new ...
-
The inventory's code changed, not the art. So it looks the same ;)

I suppose that certain bug exploits regarding using sacks to carry more weight than what a character could carry normally are gone.
-
I'll check.
edit: seems fixed.
I can also tell you it's probably going to be more than a day. We found quite some issues, hehe.

-
I have a ATI Rage 128 video card which just does play the game is this upgrade gonna require a video card level thats likely to freeze me out ?
-
There will be no changes that require any hardware upgrades.
-
\\o//...Thank you!
-
How is it going guys?
The new client is installed and ready to fire-up (only art is missing and your server work...)
Keep up the good work!
Sliss
-
When it is ready there will be download links ready on the download page on the main site. Till you see that or an annoucement about it you will not hear anything.
-
Just curious, in the new client release:
1) Will there be any updated map or any new map areas?
2) Will there be any world map images available in-game? Or will I have to create one?
Thanks.
Cheers!
-
We will not reveal anything on the new art content of the release, until you can actually see it for yourself :] This has always been our policy.
-
Gah, I figured that. I'll have to find out myself.... :detective:
-
Out of curiosity, why aren't the users informed ahead of time about a planned shutdown that could potentially last for more than 24 or 48 hours?
As a sidenote, announcing it (the shutdown) wouldn't mean accommodating users' schedules, it would simply allow users to put their characters in proper order.
-
What "proper order," exactly? What could you possibly need to do? :)
We never know exactly when we will shutdown the server for a release. We didn't know we would do it the day before it was done. At some point most of the content gets to a state considered mostly ready, a test package gets created, and the server is taken offline.
-
Fair enough. I appreciate all your hardwork. Thank you.
-
Aww... I just registered and downloaded the game. Don't know what to think though: if it's bad 'cause i can't play it right now, or if it's good 'cause i'm gonna play a new release.
Anyway, glad to see you work on the game pretty hard. I'll be here waiting for the server to get up. :thumbup:
-
hi all, this is the first rpg for me. unfortunately the server is down. cant wait to have it back up.

Taken ores out of the furnance. (3 minutes grace time would be sufficient here). I guess every ore in the furnance now is gone.
Finishing unfinished quests [I hope mine wont be broken due to update (one day maybe?)
-
It could take you days to finish unfinished quests. Moreover, you can continue them after the update. It doesn't affect your quest history.
And when you really think about it, what do you want more: ores, or a new client with a ton of cool stuff you haven't had before? I think the small sacrifice may be worth it.
-
They warned us that the server was going offline. Everyone should have had time to get their ore out of the furnace.

That's true I even had time to /tell almost whole my buddy list online goodbye, and I shouted a couple of time :-[ Something like "Oleeeeeeeeeeee!" ect. :P
xD To quote the last sentence in my log:
(22:50:55) Eronoe shouts: i new and need money or weapons please
Poor soul
-
I really miss Planeshift. I've had all week off, with nothing to do, and I've been hoping the servers would come back up. Planeshift is a great project.
-
I'll let yeah in on the secret, but don't tell anyone. ;)
The real reason you can't log into the server right now... you haven't given the devs enough cookies yet.
-
Sorry, no donut is given to Orkut devs by YOU!!
And perhaps caffeine is better than cookies...

I don't have cookies, but I do have a flower.
*Illysia give the devs flowers* (http://www.geocities.com/silverlynxgirl/cheerful.gif)
Or maybe I'll do a silly dance to keep the devs entertained.

More cookies? -- Okay!

*sighs* downloaded the game coz it's a linux one, probably the day after it went down.
is there any sort of guestimate as to when things will be running again?
it's a bit frustrating to check each day and find that it's down. I do appreciate that this is a beta product
and it's being developed on the testing server but letting people know every coupla days in the forums that
it will be a couple more days would have been nice.
On the downloads page - I reckon you should have a warning or something indicating that a new client
release is due and that the server is currently down.
:surrender:
-
The server will be up when the last of the bugs that would crash the server are fixed. We have no idea when that will be.

How is the Bug smashing going? :P I just downloaded the client and I cant wait for the update! I hope you guys get it up soon. I have the next three days off with nothing to do. ;) I cant wait to see what you guys have in store. Goodluck with fixing the bugs.

\\o// All your hard work seems to go unnoticed and may sometimes seem thankless. I would like to take the time to truelly thank the ENTIRE P.S. team for all the hard work and dedication. Here's a few Pints on me. \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ . Ahh Black and Tans for all. MMM MMM MMMMM. Cheers to the P.S. Team. God Speed Ladies and Gentlemen!!

In Reply to your statment
The server is down for an update. We faced few issues during the final testing with laanx server, that delayed the release. We are still testing the new release and hope to release it in the next days. More news will be given here. In the meantime write down the background of your character and think on how his past experiences could influence his current behaviour and reasoning.

Good work devs keep it up and take your time.

My friends are bugging my alot >:( so i have to ask why i cant get on.i have the windos version. i think i read something about an update, and if thats the reason i cant get on then could you tell me when its going to be done? :sweatdrop:
-
it will be done when it is done and not any sooner
-
currently ,it seems a least 2 Devs are working on it, 'cause I see there are 2 people are ingame. it's been 5 days that they are resolving the problems, I think it will be done before this weekend. because there will be more Devs are off from their real jobs, and take care about this hobby one.
-
There have been some issues with the inventory system causing the server to crash. We have identified most of those now and are working to resolve them.
-
All you people wondering when PS will be back up:
Take it from me (I've been through 6 or 7 updates which isn't that many); these things may take upwards of two weeks before you're allowed back in game. And when you do get in, it will probably still be unstable for the next few days with lots of server outages. And even then, there may be yet another release if the problem is major. I don't want to go through all the things that have happened in the past, but expect to wait and then expect an unstable server and you won't be disappointed.
In the meantime, log onto irc.freenode.org #planeshift and complain with the rest of us... :devil:
-
it says that there is a person online in the game and i read that if it says 1 or higher thats the sever is up. so why is it still saying "failed" by the sever name?
-
Because people with the necessary authorization are testing bugs. Normal players can't access Laanx yet.
-
oh ok thanks. keep up the good work :thumbup:
-
When is it back and updated?
-
When all the major bugs have been taken care of. Please read the entire thread before posting questions - many of them have already been addressed.

Patience is a virtue. I too am a newcomer to PS. Well, I had a little poke round sometime back. I am happy to wait, such is the nature of beta / tech demos.

oningo hates those bugs :@#\ . they are stopping a client release >:( . Looks around and notices the devs at work :sorcerer: . Gets the devs :love: lot of coffee and flowers :flowers: and cheers them on with the debugging \\o// :thumbup: . Then he asks the devs to keep players updated when possible :detective: . Then realises that he has spoken too much :-X ...so apologises for disturbin the devs :sweatdrop: :-[ and decides to go sleep :sleeping: and have good dreams. :innocent:

Wow. o.O That is a lot of fricken smilies o.O

do what I did and spent the down time getting setup to compile the client on my MacBook - now I'm ready to go when the ball drops, I can just check out the latest source and I'm a quick "jam -aq -j2 client" from playing.

/me wipes teary eyes
I'm sad I so miss my PS community online. I so have nothing to do right now. But I still love the devs for all their hard work!!
/me hugs devs
Hehe everyone needs love :love:

Good one Neko
too funny We needed that
The Lack of PS Is very stressful you know

Keep up the Great Work guys

From the Main PS Website:
2007.05.11
The server has been restarted with the 0.3.018 version. We decided to postpone the release of 019 to allow engine developers to perform better testing. This phase was taking too much time, and we decided it was better to give you back PlaneShift even if in 018 version! To connect you just need the released 018 client you find in the download page.
- Looks like we get to have another wee chance to play again in the 'old' 018 sandbox! \\o//

I would rather wait patiently for some changes... no chat bubbles for now... :(
-
Release Alarm (http://www.ligh.de/releasealarm.php) -- for those who prefer to let wait. ;)
-
Some changes have been made, even though the code is the same. Magic users will find their spells more effective now (and the power slider actually works!), and there's been numerous additions and changes by the settings team.
-
Some exploits were found on the day of the release, and they couldn't be swiftly fixed. This is very unfortunate. Maybe we should've found those bugs earlier, maybe the release shouldn't have happened yet in the first place because of the huge inventory rewrite. Anyway, it won't happen anymore.
-
It's up and running now. :)
-
Hmmm..
But it's still not responding every few minutes, and I'm kicked out again.
Does everyone have that problem?
-
Yes, of course.
Watch irc://chat.freenode.net#planeshift - and you will see everyone cry when the server crashes again.
-
Yes, you will...
