We are very excited to say that next release is now pretty close!! We are starting today some internal testing on the ezpc server, which will actually be shutdown for players today. After this internal testing period, we will open up the server for larger testing. Everyone will be invited to test, no restrictions. If the open test will go well, we will then upgrade laanx! Stay tuned!!

-
is the stick with the proper art and net version? :D
-
well no but I do have several accounts and would be glad to test the updater... but I guess it will be a new monolithic client download when it comes.
-
What happened with the upgrade?
-
missing mac builds
-
Still no mac-heads available for this? Bummer!
-
WOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D ::) O--) \\o// :sorcerer: :thumbup: :woot: It will be awesome! No client for mac though. :thumbdown: :( ??? :-[ :'(
-
Let the mac people wait - as usual :P
-
It's not just the mac builds ... There are still some nasty bugs to iron out you really wouldn't want to have in this release :)
-
Anyone have any idea what kind of new things this update will bring? How's the internal testing going?

Well, players will enjoy the newest feature that they will finally get **************** but I'm particularly interested in the new ************* system myself. All the new *******************'s will be cool to see in the ***************** as well. But the biggest update will be the addition of *************s to the game.
-
So true, Neko, but don't forget the ******** ***** as well, they're awesome!
-
It'd sure be nice if someone with mac skills could do something other than complain about being left out... this is all volunteer you know... :ban:
-
Perhaps we could collect money to buy a Mac for the dev team? :P
-
one for each dev maybe eheheh
-
My brother has a collection of Apple II's, would that help? He might even still have his Peach!
Anyway guess I'll just have to keep waiting. :(
-
tomorrow will be a 1 month anniversary of not having the new planeshift client when we thought we would :'(
-
Sowwies :(
But It'll be worth the wait when it's done :D
-
you should have been hear with the transition from mb to cb, it was roughly a year for that.
but the new client will be ready soon(tm)
-
yeah, but that was simply because talad personally forged every ring of the past himself. making all those rings took time yeah know. :P

Ceeeeeeleeebraaations! \\o// ... But what is a month, in a schedule of leisure time development...
One little hint I can answer Kerbox' question with is (being no more secret anyway), that the new PlaneShift will be based on a new CrystalSpace version, which introduces a few new techniques, e.g. regarding the rendering of the world. Therefore some textures, models and maps will get changed to match this development. This takes enough time on its own already. Not to mention some expectable additions to the world content and game features - the next major PlaneShift version will not only be different, but also more. And it will also be a little tidied up.
What a surprise... :-X
-
Will there be a new client too? I'm on XP and Vista machines most of the time and the client doesnt' work on them.
*edit*
Oh, wait. That wasn't the client or Windows. That was my ATI card. Thank you, ATI, for constantly messing up my gaming experience...

Obviously there will be a new client :)
-
I simply can't wait for the release!
:) ;D 8) ::) ;) :detective: :beta: :flowers: :lol: :detective: \\o// ;D
-
Is the server down because the client is coming on soon.
-
The server is just not available for general playing, it is now reserved for testing (via a different access method).
A new version will come "soon (tm)" ... (the usual joke for "could be next month, could be next year..."). It will depend on how many bugs we find and how fast they can get fixed.
-
We are getting closer by the minute to the release =)
-
:D yay thats good to know!
-
Can I be a tester please.
-
to be a tester you must be able to build your own client.
http://planeshift.svn.sourceforge.net/*checkout*/planeshift/planeshift/docs/compiling.html
if you can get it built and running (use svn art and 32bit mysql server, server and client for now even if you run a 64bit os) then ask lanarel
-
how do you do that
-
the guide says all you need to know to do it
-
What guide?
-
This guide (http://planeshift.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/planeshift/trunk/docs/compiling.html).
Make sure to pic "Developer" in the dropdown. Check #planeshift-build on IRC for build specific support - if needed :)
-
Also, just to prevent everyone from thinking you will get access to the test server by building your own client, to become part of the test team you should also have shown your ability to help with testing reported bugs, help keeping the bug tracker up to date and clean, etc. :)
-
ok
-
Just wondering if anyone else was able to using the shutdown add-on in Jd it used to work under vista but i could not get it to work under windows 7.
-
Any updates? ;D
-
we're just trying to get things stable enough to release clients for the "pre-release"
patience

Anybody whos been playing PS for some time now will have plenty of that :D
-
Some kind of updates would be nice even just a quick note saying that testing is going well or it's not going well or something would lift up the spirits.

[...]The client and server will still have some major issues[...]
(to make sure you understand the quote, click and read the post it's been taken from)
I would say things are going not well at times and then the problem is solved and all is well again until the next issue pops up. The new release is still bumpy but when the time comes, we the players will be given the opportunity to try it. Can't expect the devs to blog here about every step of the way.
-
Good thoughts and I think it's true. If you want to have an idea what problems the devs have you can always have a look at http://www.hydlaaplaza.com/flyspray/ - and come there more often after the client was released to help with tracking down problems :)

Internal testing is still going on, yep :) Maybe I can give a small overview.
There have been a bunch of fixes to critical (or highly annoying) bugs in the past two weeks.
Talad's also doing a lot of work on maps at the moment :)
There's still some work on the TODO list, but we're on the way to shape the new release into a releasable form.

Good work on the city team. :thumbup:
