I\'ve had this error as well.  I\'ve gotten around it in the past, on occasion, if I exit out the right side ( up the stairs ).  It wouldn\'t hurt too if you could jump to the right as well.

I had a copy of the vfs.cfg from .009.  It launched for me.  But now it fails to load past the MOTD.

Going to try and log in with a different character... thinking were the last character I was using could just be in a bad map?

No...that didn\'t help.

But at least it was able to boot from double-clicking.  Will end up downloading fresh binary copy.  Hmmm....no.. Will have to download a old copy and then try Chaos\'s updater as my Terminal experience results in an inablity to interact with the screen.

Mac OSX Specific Issues / what about this....
« on: June 03, 2005, 06:44:07 am »
I\'ve download and chmod the two .apps.
I\'m able to launch psclient.
But at logon screen I can input any characters.  What\'s with that?
I\'ve edit the planeshift.cfg file to at least throw my username on the screen but I still can\'t interact on the screen so I can input my password.

Edit:  I launched psclient via Terminal.  I\'ll do a search on my posts...I\'ve had this problem before but don\'t rememeber now what I did to resolve it.  If not, I\'ll download the files again and try again.

Mac OSX Specific Issues / Can anyone crash if....
« on: May 14, 2005, 08:56:42 pm »
you are running and try to manipulate items in your inventory.  I did this once and crashed.  Fell off the end of the world upon relaunch and took several relaunches because hell was....well....hell.  I crashed another time while exiting hell.

Background on the item manipulation crash... I had just emerged from sewers and had an fairly heavy item load, say about 2/3rd of my weight capacity.  Don\'t know if this caused the problem or not.  Just an FYI.

There was one or two times now that I\'ve had trouble getting out of hell, but eventually after retrying the 2nd or 3rd time I get out and the program doesn\'t crash.

Well, it could very well be a textures thing on the Oja road.  I\'ve tried unsuccessfully to light (-relight) these now at least 3-4 times now.  I earlier had success in the plaza.

I makes sense that this road problem is texture in nature.  (but I\'m no programmer or background artist.)

But note this, I\'ve always had a problem with black ground at the magic shop.  After I successfully -relight (past tense) the plaza, the black ground at the magic shop cleared up.  So these are related.  When I got past the forest and was entering the hills, this is where I have the problem with the darkness.  I can see trees, the tops of hills but that\'s about it.  Oh, and I do see the Tele frager monster and the rouge but not until I turn around and try to come back to the plaza.  The -relight never has worked here.

I\'ve been trying to mine a place in this area for two days now and unable to get past this problem.

Well, it seems to be working.  I\'m in the plaza and I have light the first time I enter.  Usually it would take 10 minutes or so just to get light on the Plaza.

I see that I was letting the -relight go too long.  I would actually be in the game and try to turn and just be frozen there.  At one time I had the Tele...tubbie staring at me.  He too wasn\'t moving.  And from time to time I\'d see other character/players walking by.   Sometimes they\'d say something other times, they\'d just walk right on by.  I tired to use the comm panel but couldn\'t type either.  The interface is taken over I suppose and is run by the terminal.

Long story short... it works now.

I started it at 1:23pm and it finished at 1:41pm.  I have a dual 2.0 Ghz G5.  If Oja road is dark as well, I now know what to do.

I will have to catch the movie you suggested at another time.  Sounds really good.  But it will take quite a doing to beat my all-time favorites of \"Enter the Dragon\" or \"Drunken Boxing II\".

the -relight option didn\'t work for me.  I waited about an hour, looked like the same output in Terminal was cycling, repeating, so I thought I\'d waited long enough.  So I logged out and logged back in...nothing.  I logged out again and then back in, repeating the process.  Nothing was repeated.
I also don\'t feel like changing intensities on my screen just to force the view, so I\'ll wait for a fix.

Question:  When do you know it\'s time the -relight option finished?

There is an answer for the latter problem on another thread.  You need to add an additional line on a data file.  I changed it and I no longer have that weird graphic problem.  You could do a search on a Dfryer message, it would be one of the more recent messages.

I\'d go with the free program in Blender.  Difficult to learn at first.  I\'m still learning, no master here.  Just like the free part.

Tired Maya but found the free demo lacking.

I\'ve also heard of Cal3d but don\'t know anything else about it.

The thing I really like about Blender is that its free.  :)  Also lots of free tutorials and a nice triving community of helpers.

See the web site:  http://www.blenderman.org

Also, check out the main web site for blender.  ah....  http://www.blender.org

Good luck and happy modeling.

dying...

this sounds like you have a permission issue.  \"Read only\" is a basic access permission.  Are you sharing this computer with anyone else?  Or you may have installed this program under your \"Administrator\" login name and you are simply logging in another account?

command + I the planeshift folder.  Look under ownership & permissions.
Are you the owner?  If you are, then just unlock the folder, give yourself access and relock the folder.

If you are not, the then owner needs to give you access rights.

If you need help doing this there\'s plenty to read about this on the Internet.

Yeah, I was doing the the attack wrong.  I just thought for a minute there because that \"highlight\" feature was missing that that could have been related.  Thx.

Mac OSX Specific Issues / NPC or PPl selection problem (Graphic)
« on: April 23, 2005, 05:56:33 am »
When selecting NPC or PPL for either talk or attach, they do highlight any longer.

And its been so long I forgot how to attack again, unless I did remember and somehow that functionality is disabled.  Again, when I try to select for attack they do not highlight.

It works for me.  I just tried this fix and I was in the castle before being driven nuts by all the graphic redraws.

So far so good.
