well... I followed all chaos\' instructions
double clicked to play
and literally nothing happened - as in, it doesn\'t even open an application...

I\'m too unix illiterate for this - I guess I\'ll just try to find another mmorpg that runs on mac - anyone know of one? Looks like this one\'s a long way off working straightforwardly yet.

How come you\'re alone working on this dfryer? Seems insane. But then, it is a free game - i guess you guys don\'t have all the money in the world to splurge on teams of coders.

Thanks for trying and good luck.

thanks Esther (:

Oh i see - there are two links on the guide, one correct one not.

The vfs.cfg link still doesn\'t seem to work.
Did you say you were going to upload it somewhere Chaos?

Thanks Buddha for the reply.
I wish I was more savy on the Unix front and able to help with smoothing the glitches. Thanks to Dfryer and everyone who is helping out.
I\'ll be the parasite who just hangs around until you lot have figured it all out and created an idiot-proof version for us morons (;
Good luck! We\'re all counting on you! (;
I\'ll go back to mudding while I\'m waiting.

Hi guys
I\'ve read through this board and I must confess to being somewhat confused.
Could I possibly ask one of you who understands to type up a very quick sort of newbie walkthrough as to what needs to be done to get Planeshift up and running in OS X?
Mine keeps crashing, for one or another of the reasons mentionned above (which varies whenever i try to take any of the steps recommended in here).
Quicker question (that may also demonstrate where I\'m coming from on the computer knowledge front) how do you run the updater from the command line? What does \"running from the command line\" mean in fact? Is it something to do with the Terminal? I\'ve always been afraid of the Terminal... just the name is enough to send shivers down spines... why not just call it \'cancer\' or something?

I\'ve tried running it from the updater file in updater.app/contents/macos but that doesn\'t work either (the \"is your crystal environement set?\" error).

Any help would be much appreciated. It\'d be great to see what the game is like.

Cheers.
Adam
