hi there!
i looked at the other threads, and also tried the x1600 fix, but still when I run planeshift the graphics present some prismatic errors there and there,
is there a way to fix this?
sys specs:
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.16 GHz
Memory: 2 GB
Chipset Model: ATY,RadeonX1600
System Version: Mac OS X 10.5.4 (9E17)
thanks for the help!
cheers

where exactly do you see the problem? can you post a screenshot?
-
how do I take a screenshot inside ps?
however, they start right from the character creation panel
-
try reading the READEM-osx and doing the fix for texture compression

This post helped with the weird graphics - I followed both of the README instructions; deleting that semicolon and adding the lines. BUT - the colored meter bars are either missing or in the case of my health meter, flashing intermittently (all the other bars in the Info box are missing). In the Stats and Skills; all of the stats bars are missing. In Skills; clicking on Stats - all red bars, no yellow and only blue in charisma; clicking on Factions, no bars, but then up in Stats, the HP bar suddenly appears (red); all the remaining Skills are only showing red and yellow. Most of them all flash a bit.
I found this to be happening in the 4.0 version too, but didn't know if it was a PS issue or if it was because of something I did - I may have upgraded to Leopard in the middle, so it's hard to say. However, with the 4.02 version, I did all the updates and had to follow the instructions/tips to get the updater to run, then did the README instructions. I tried all the possible combinations of both graphics fixes to see if it would help, but no.
Running a MacBook Pro with Leopard (10.5.4), Intel 2 Core Duo and a 2 gig ATY RadeonX1600.
I'd also like to take this opportunity to say that Planeshift was the first game I installed on the MacBook after a long 20+ years as a PC user. AND it's because of working through getting Planeshift to work that I understand so much more about how Mac's work. . .THANK YOU! I love to tinker and fiddle and fix and tweak my computer, and the Mac doesn't lend itself so well to that right at the beginning. . .
It occurs to me only now that this may simply be a bug? Is this a sort of bug tracker type thing? And since I'm already in question mode - where do I find the bug tracker posting instructions?
Thank you,
Moh

hmmm...I added the two lines to the psclient flie and removed the semi colon from the data/config/r... file as instructed in the README file and in the aforementioned post. I've even tried launching the game with only one fix or the other to see if it made a difference. I'm going to go back through and repeat the fixes and do the old PC restart-between-each-fix trick and see if that makes a difference.
What I did forget to mention is that this wasn't always a problem - it started sometime in the last version (I think) but since I'm not sure where in the timeline I upgraded to Leopard, I don't know if that was what happened. The game is still playable for me, just without those visual aids. . .
Off I go to try it again.

/screenshot or /screenshot nogui

Update - no luck with restarting between fixes. Removing the semi colon is the key to fixing the weird/glitchy graphics, but adding the two lines in PSclient doesn't make any noticeable (yet) difference at all. I guess it's back to just watching the numbers :o
ha ha!
Thank you Morla for those valuable links! With more digging through the forum, I'm sure I could have found them too, but I got a tad lazy after all the searching through the forum I'd done in the previous week. . .Now from what I understand in reading the forum, since I've already stated the issue here, I shouldn't post it as a bug - correct?

if it is determined that others have this same issue then you can post on the tracker, but if it is related to your hardware/software setup there is liittle ps can do to help.

FYI - after I installed the Leopard update that came out last week, everything seems to be working just as it was before! I have all my bars in full color, no flashing or anything. It's like it was before! \\o// Since I installed the update without looking at what it was doing, I'm not sure if that's what did it, but I've done nothing else that would have changed anything. . .

Mohdred, so now once you've updated Leopard, your graphics are working? I may give it a shot as I havent updated anything on here for a while. I've been using boot camp all too much recently, running windows instead of Mac but now that completely screwed up i'll give updating my laptop a go.
