?
and do you need to follow th folder ling befor the comand like application/planeshft/.....
thanks for the help

You need to change directory to /applications/planeshift or something along those lines yes, to do this use the command cd follow by the destination you want to move to.
I don't actually use a mac, and it's far to cold to go get the one I own out of the shed so can't give any specifics, maybe someone with a bit more of a clue will pass by this thread soon ;)
-
On a Mac you can open a terminal window and then go to the application folder and drag the Planeshift application folder to the terminal window to change the terminal location to the planeshift folder.

Sarva's tip is good for getting the correct command line in terminal :flowers:

this is what i entered into terminal and the response
<my name goes here>:~ <my first name>$ /Applications/PlaneShift/pslaunch.app --args --console
-bash: /Applications/PlaneShift/pslaunch.app: is a directory
sorry I'm no expert but hopefully this may help someone else
thanks again for the help

And after that the updater will run? I've fiddled around in Terminal before... but my computer doesn't want to recognize '--args --console'...
-
you're missing the 'open'
Though I heard the mac updater was working, but Khaki would have to confirm that.

Where would the 'open' be placed? Sorry for the dumb question but one complete command line is appreciated for the ones that do not know how to work with consoles. ;)
I did try the updater on Mac this morning and it keeps on crashing the same way as the Windows version. ???
-
type
open ./pslaunch.app --args --console
in a Terminal.
Of course you need to navigate to the right folder first:
Applications/Planeshift
Note, this will take some time. Don't close pslaunch manually.
After this step, run pslaunch via finder.
Edit: it worked for me. that's what i know

ok here is what I'm getting .... thanks for the patients :whistling:
/applications/planeshift open ./pslaunch.app --args --console
-bash: /applications/planeshift: is a directory
i tryed just using:
open ./pslaunch --args --console
the result:
open: unrecognized option `--args'
Usage: open [-e] [-t] [-f] [-W] [-n] [-g] [-h] [-b <bundle identifier>] [-a <application>] [filenames]
Help: Open opens files from a shell.
By default, opens each file using the default application for that file.
If the file is in the form of a URL, the file will be opened as a URL.
Options:
-a Opens with the specified application.
-b Opens with the specified application bundle identifier.
-e Opens with TextEdit.
-t Opens with default text editor.
-f Reads input from standard input and opens with TextEdit.
-W, --wait-apps Blocks until the used applications are closed (even if they were already running).
-n, --new Open a new instance of the application even if one is already running.
-g, --background Does not bring the application to the foreground.
-h, --header Searches header file locations for headers matching the given filenames, and opens them.
I've tried omitting the args and just used --console i get the above message coming up
is the --args using the above options? if so is the "r" correct?
I've tried a lot of variations but no luck yet
/me looks in jayose's library for terminal for dummies.... but he is not lending books right now ::|

Okay, I will see if I can explain how I did it... Open Terminal... Then you have to get to the ps directory. So type 'cd /(then the path to the PS folder)' so for me it was 'cd /users/(username)/desktop/planeshift'... Keep in mind I keep PS on my desktop... Then type in './pslaunch.app/Contents/MacOS/pslaunch_static --console' And at least for me that's how I finally managed to get the update to run...
-
Note if you have a terminal window open you can just drag and drop the PS application folder onto the open terminal window instead of doing the /cd command with the file path to change to the PS file.

There's no need to use the Terminal. The new download for 0.5.1 (on the main download page) fixes all the updater issues. Please download the new installer and use that.
-

my updater wont even open... never mind all that terminal stuff. i double click on it and absolutely nothing happens.
:(
anyone got any ideas?
-
oh and btw, i downloaded the game from apple.com just to make sure it wasnt dodgy. i know mac's practically dont get viruses, but just to be on the safe side. i dont see how this could be the problem though as they would know what they are doing :D
p.s some files appear to be illustrator files. and people have mentioned files i cant even find...
plz help?
cheers

well for all to see
PS DOESNT HAVE VIRUSES IT LOVES ALL PEOPLE

oh and btw, i downloaded the game from apple.com just to make sure it wasnt dodgy.
Surely not dodgy, and not even updated: apple.com has the version 0.4.3. The current version is 0.5.1. You'll find it here (http://www.planeshift.it/download.html).
-
i already know where to find it haha. the thing is, shouldn't the 'updater' 'update' the game? the error i get says i need the current version, but my updater wont even open?
-
So, while I am a first time user of this game too, I think there is need to have some updated documentation about installation. I have it apparently working and did the following to get it from download to running.
Got the latest disk image (0.5.1) and opened it up. In there were two folders, I took the Planeshift folder and put it into the Application folder in my home directory (drag and drop worked fine from the .dmg to the finder folder). Now, putting it in that particular folder is probably questionable, but apparently it can be dropped pretty much anywhere.
After it is copied, open that folder and double click the pslaunch application. I told it to update which it did (I assume to update the launcher), and then I had to do it a second time (which took longer, so I assume it was updated the games files). Then, I selected the settings to get the appropriate screen setting for my machine and saved them. Then hit run and the launcher subsequently died with a dialog box saying it encountered an unexpected error and went away. I ran the other executable in that folder (the name escapes me but it begins with ps and isn't the launcher) and the game started up.
Just out of curiosity, checking in my home Library/Application folder and there is a Planeshift folder that contains what I think are the settings.
So, I believe it to be installed, I don't know why the launcher doesn't run the game, but you can just run the game itself and it appears to run.
I haven't gotten past the tutorial zone so I can't speak to playability, speed, etc.
