Or even better - make a binary that makes updating the binary redundant.

Mac OSX Specific Issues / And another one
« on: March 01, 2005, 11:29:30 am »
Let me just be the first to say Huzza! They updated the client version again and the mac client, after a successfull upgrade, is still one version short. One piece of advice for the developers: at vikingmud.org we have one test server and one working server. When something works on the test server it is released and the working server gets the newest working version of the server software. Same principle at where I work - we first develop a working client that will work on most server versions and then  switch server versions when the client can cope. Here this would translate into: When there is a working client you switch. The client should be able to handle several different versions so you can ship a new client while the server is still the old version. The server should say which version it wants and the client should conform to the servers wishes, failing as it does now when there is no version new enough. But the client should be ahead of the server, not the other way around. A static client and a static server is a lot less complicated but alot more hassle.

Just a though; not ment as an angry note.

Same thing happened to me. I get in, since I have a character already that part is easy. But then when I get inn I fall through the map and die. So I updated using the updater and the HOWTO in another thread and get in once again, but then I get a Bus error.

I checked the versions, date and size of libcal3d and find a discrepancy so I copied the new one to /usr/local/lib/ and try again.

Still a heap of errors, warnings and whatsnot. Then I\'m in the game once more and... fell off the edge of the death realm and died ;)

I then manage to get through the death realm and to the \'hellmouth\' (sorry Buffers ;) ) While loading the plaza I get a few UV position errors and such things (in the terminal - I still have to launch through that) and then another Bus error.

Next I will find a fresh version of the game and install from scratch, but first I have to get some work done and after that I\'m probably finished and can go home to my windows version which works like a marvel ;)

Chaos, are you saying that we should not use the updater yet because of the .zip files?


I think it is prudent to say not to expect to be able to log in at all now. There is, if I understand the conversation on IRC correctly, no way to log in at the moment. The server has once again a difference between the servers. Someone said you could get in if you compiled the client from the files in CVS two days ago, but since compiling PS from scratch takes a minor aeon on my 2x600 MHz PIII Linux-box I cannot verify that as of yet ;)

Monday. Or, as someone else could have said it: Next year, on Laanx.

If you are that new to Terminal (no offense) I\'d better give you a tip:
  • Open terminal
  • type \"chmod 755 \" without the brackets, ending on a space
  • drag the psclient.app into the terminal window (that sounds deadly;)) - this should insert the path to psclient.app
  • extend the path you got so that it continues .../Planeshift\\ 3D/psclient.app/Contents/MacOS/psclient - you type what is green

but when  I was going to search \"usr\" in finder like Chaos said... I didn\'t found nothing .... no files ... what I do to search invisibles files??

/usr is per def not visible in Finder, but if you use go to folder you see what is in it. It should contain several folders but they might be invisible as well. The best thing here is to use terminal to make sure there is a /usr/local using ls -la /usr/ . It should look something like this:
Code: [Select]

wik.uio.no# ls -la

If you dont see any local there, you can create a new folder there through the GUI. As you can see, I didn\'t install Planeshift until Jan 17.th.

Beatifull work Chaos .. but your language is for computer GMs ... didn\'t understand nothing ...


It sounds greek in the beginning, but if you wan\'t to do more than use iLife you will find that a rudimentary understanding of UNIX is a Good Thing on mac. You can probably find a few hundred introductions to UNIX through Google ;)

After installing PS on my linux box, battling it out with compiling, linking and weird libraries for a few hours, I certainly won\'t go near the PS code on a mac, even in a hazmat suit. Kudos to dfryer who does.

Starting... Noo! Bus error!

(clean install and restart ;) )

According to postings in the Linux installer thread there is now a newer version of the client in the CVS repository than the version of the server, so now we might find that there is a 0.3.007 client version that you are compiling when you try to make the client by yourself, while the server still only is 0.3.006. What goes around comes aground ;)

I hate to be the mongrel yelling, but have you read this thread at all? As stated more than one time on each and every page (except this one) the newest Mac version is 0.3.005, while the newest PC/Linux version is 0.3.006, so you can download the latest mac version until your nose is blue and still get the error message. Or you can read more on this board for a HOWTO on downloading and compiling a semi-working CVS version...

If I had more time on my hands (ie not working full time and taking three university courses) I could have pitched in with the porting, but as it is there is only one mac developer here. Perhaps Someone should go over to the MacTech website and post a note about the problems and perhaps lure a cohort of Applegeek developers to Planeshift? ;)

And a planeshift username is generated when you create a new user. You log inn with an email address, get an email in return, just like you did when registering for this webboard, and create a new player when the email/password pair is verified by replying to that email.

Actually, There is this gobbler on your way down to the rats that gets through my defensive stance in a big way. He can kill me in six rounds, while a normal one can\'t do that much damage to me, even while I fight using the bloody stance.

I have seen several people idling close by, probably thinking \'bah, just a gobbler, no problem\' and getting killed rather fast. Even people with impressive looking equipment (assumingly not a newbie like me).

Cold turkey has gotten me on the run.

And that\'s only after a coupple of days on PS ;) But honestly, I have been a MUD maintainer so I only want to say \'Keep up the good work\' and await the update, as and when it comes. What so many people don\'t realize is that this (maintaining) is a hobby, not a job, and that you do this for free, because you really are swell chaps. I see anoying little critters demanding a working client yesterday, naging about service, but if you haven\'t paid for it you have no claim to immediate service. For those anoyed by the \'poor quality of service\' I can only say \'Feel Free to Fix\'. The client code is in CVS, you can probably port it yourself if you have such cravings you go bananas for a few days of unavailability to an opensource game based on volunteers pitching in the job other games charge you 1 pint of blood every week.

Once again: Do your best - we macers managed without PS for so long, we can damned well wait longer if that means you (dfryer) don\'t get burned out (I did; I would not blame you).

COME WITH ME, MORTAL ONE!

As in history with lengthy and tedious death sequences, this version is quite passable. It took me some time to find the right ladder since it is rather dark there, but all in all, it was as enjoyable as death can possibly be (don\'t get me wrong ;).
