Title: Everybody's a dwarf !
Post by: MadPenguin on June 15, 2003, 04:55:48 pm

After a lot of downloading, compiling and troubleshooting I eventually got the Molecular Blue client to work on my linux from scratch. When I created my female elf I was quite surprised to see a dwarf in the screen where you can choose the color of the hair, of the skin, etc.
I was even more surprised when I logged in the game and saw that everybody looked like a dwarf. I discussed with other people and discovered that this was not normal... Do you have an idea of what is going on ?
Moreover I loose the connection quite frequently. Is this normal ?

Thanks in advance.

well, at the moment, there are only a few races that can actually be played, I forget what the actual selection is, but I\'m sure someone can tell you

But I chose a dermorian female that can be played. And every single player that I saw in the game was a dwarf...

I don\'t really know, have you used the updater?

sure you got the right files? ...the previous version was full of dwarfes, this one\'s ok. where did you get the files from? sf.net or planeshift.it?

LFS, wow! *bows*

no no, that can\'t be it. You can\'t run the previous version anymore.

Well, I followed acraig\'s build procedure :
-> revert to bison-1.35
-> got CS with the command \"cvs -z3 d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/crystal co -rPRE_THING_FACTORIES CS\"
-> got cel with \"cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/cel co -D 2003-05-16 cel\"
-> got planeshift with \"cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/planeshift co -rMB010 planeshift\"
-> then I built everything in the right order. The only difference is that I used the art directory from planeshift-0.2.010FullSourceAndArt.tar.gz (that I had previously downloaded but wich didn\'t work for me) instead of planeshift.tar.gz. I had to use the \"usual\" configure/make procedure instead of the jam based one for CS because the jam based one wouldn\'t accept my libpng... I used jam for the rest though.

So I think I have the right version...

You are using the art/models.zip file from cvs instead of the one from the big tar.gz file.  This is why everyone looks like a dwarf.

That was it, thanks for the hint.
