Title: "Invalid model filename"
Post by: Yadira on March 02, 2008, 01:41:40 pm

I had PS CB before and downloaded SB yesterday, but I can't get it to work. I'm running Win XP here. The problem is: After loggin in, right when the char selection screen opens, I get "The server sent an invalid model filename. Please run the updater." Now I tried several things:
- running the updater -> no effect
- uninstalling both CB and SB and reinstalling SB, running updater -> no effect
- uninstalling SB once again, reinstalling it, skipping the updater -> no effect
I'm running out of options now. I don't even have the slightest idea what causes this problem. Can anyone help?  :surrender:

My error log says this:

check that in your art folder you have a characters.zip you might also want to do a clean install in another directory and dont run the updater and see if that helps

I checked for the characters.zip. It's there but it seems to be broken. ::| I can open every other zip there, but not the characters.zip. Winrar say "unexpected end" but can display the content: there are only two folders, supposedly male and female Dermorian skins. That pretty much explains the error message.

I checked my PlaneShift-v0.4.00.exe, it's 325.931.468 Bytes and the CRC checksum is B8CDEC3F. Can anyone verify this? I guess I have to download it again.  :-\

/edit:
Downloading already, it's MUCH faster than yesterday. Let's see if that changes anything.

a new download sounds good if that does not help try http://www.psmirror.org/repo/backup/art/characters.zip

Seems fine now. I got a different checksum and the characters.zip is not broken. Now I just have to wait for the server.  :sweatdrop:

Hey, it works!  \\o//
