you do realize that athlon is beating intel in about every market segment?  why would you want a p4 when you can get a faster althlon for less money.
my mobile athlon that I picked up for $35 clocks to 2.7ghz and has the better performance in games than a 3.4P4EE (a $800 chip).

Technical Help: Problems BEFORE entering the game / Yet Another Updater Problem
« on: February 24, 2005, 12:42:41 am »
Alright, I just built PS succesfully from CVS.  Now, when I go to run the updater (after updating the mirror and changing it to just update art and data), it just sits there.  No error, no nothing.  CPU is at 99%.  Same thing happens with --auto.  I have no clue what\'s wrong :S.

Code: [Select]
linux planeshift # ./updater --auto




EDIT: just noticed that this strange behavior occurs whenever I try to start ANY PS executable (pssetup, psclient..)

EDIT2: fixed! it seems my cflags were a little too aggressive.  -march=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe works fine.

Personally I have never used an Xbox, but I imagine if all you need to do is burn planeshift to a dvd and try to play it in your xbox (does it work like that with the other stuff you tried?) It could run fine.


uh first of all yes consoles do have an os (I believe xbox has some form of linux running).  and no, you don\'t just \"pop in the cd\", as he said in his post he already has gentoo running and he will copy the game to his xbox\'s harddrive

Technical Help: IN GAME bugs (after loading world) /

yeah why is this game beta? I mean it\'s doing great and looks very promising, but it seems to be more like an alpha realease to me... I think a lot of people are expected too much because of the \"beta\" title.

I would say the cpu is fine (I play on a pII 400mhz with decent speed) and 8gigs is plenty, but the ram is much too low.  I have 128mb and I need to lower the texture resolution to stop the constant swap usage.

But if you can upgrade the memory(I didn\'t know you could do this) than that would be a very cool set up.  Let us now if it works!

yay chaning it to:
 
works :) ...the reason we\'re not supposed to update is because of the client not the artwork right? so downloading the art should be fine...

EDIT: Hey Nonothehobbit, you said you looked in some log file to find the new file name...where is this log?

I must not understand how CVS works...but can\'t you just put the previous client back up, so we can a least get the art files?

Development Deliberation / Building planeshift from CVS, but updater kills itself!
« on: January 15, 2005, 07:13:51 pm »
I\'ve finished building everything from  CVS, everything went well except while building planeshift psserver failed to build.  I was told that this was unnescesary for just running the client.
When I try to use the updater to update the artwork and click \"update\" or just use the \"--auto\" option it kills itself.  No internet activity and --verbose doesn\'t provide any more relevant information.
Code: [Select]
linux planeshift # ./updater --auto
Critical files ( ) not found (Server only)

planeshift.updater.application:
  psUpdaterEngine initialized.
Downloading registry...
Killed
any ideas?

yep i have both alsadrv.csplugin/alsadrv.so and ossdrv.csplugin/ossdrv.so.  Both alsa and oss work in other programs.  can I test them in any other way?
When you say python takes longer to build, how much longer do you mean? Most files compiled in <1m, but when it was on the python file I got CONSTANT harddrive thrashing for about an HOUR. (i just killed it eventually)

Development Deliberation / Compiled CS from CVS, but no sound!
« on: January 15, 2005, 01:54:01 am »
I\'m trying to build PlaneShift from CVS for Gentoo LInux.  I have built the cal3d library with no problems, but when I tried to build CS the compile froze on: \"C++ ./out/linuxx86/debug/plugins/cscript/cspython/cs_pyth.o\" so I took python support out of the jamconfig file and everything compiled fine.  I tested CS and the graphics worked great, but there was no sound, I got:
Code: [Select]
linux CS # ./walktest -relight
crystalspace.maploader: Could not get sound driver
Total level load time: 3.581 seconds
could it be because I took out support for python?
