"The current required client version is 0.4.000
It's also highly recommended that you install the new package clean (as in uninstalling the old version first, and not just installing the new over the old).
The updater is working but You cannot update from version .3.020 to .4.000 using the updater included with your download.
Things you can keep from your older client:
quest notes/chat log files
shortcuts
other options saved in controls.xml
screenshots
*please note that the location to where these files are located on your hard drive have been changed in this new version, and also that the way they are saved have been over hauled. As such, it is recommended that you go with a clean install this time, and copying over these old files could cause adverse issues with the game and are to be used at your own risk.*
Just copy these out, uninstall, and install the new package.
Folders/Directories:
When you installed PlaneShift, for example, it asked you where you wanted to put it on your hard drive. The default location is "c:\program files\PlaneShift Steel Blue", and chances are that's where you put it. The folder in your start menu contains links which link to the programs in their actual locations, inside that folder. That's where the stuff is.
To get to it, open Windows Explorer by right clicking on "My Computer" or similar and clicking "Explore". Assuming PS is in its standard location, click through the tree on the left to "Local Disk (C:)", "Program Files", then "PlaneShift Steel Blue". You'll see a bunch of files on the right side. These are PS's game files.
User specific files such as logs and screen shots are now saved here:
Windows: In the user home directory, usually in "Document and Setting\Username\Application Data\PlaneShift
Linux: ~/.PlaneShift
Mac OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/PlaneShift

What if there is no application data folder? which there isnt? how would i be able to reate one and start having planeshift save the chat logs to it?
-
Application Data is a hidden folder. What version of Windoze are you using?
-
X to the P (XP) but version... i might not know how to check the version so run me through it.
-
That's all I need to know is if it's not Vista. Just go to your Tools->Folder Options, and under the View tab select Show hidden files and folders.
