Technical Help: Problems BEFORE entering the game /
« on: August 15, 2005, 06:04:41 pm »
Try lowering the MTU on either your router, or your PC if you cannot set it at the router.  I have seen a lot of routers with a MTU of 1500 essentially flood themselves off.  Setting the MTU to 1492 might solve the problem.

Arch Linux here, and PS works like a charm.

Development Deliberation / Development Roadmap
« on: August 10, 2005, 08:05:11 pm »
I was wondering if there was an features roadmap in place.  I didn\'t see anything current, just a post by Talad two years ago that there was a roadmap but it isn\'t published, as they didn\'t want to be held to dates or timelines, but has that position changed?  I know that the developers have been hard at work on the bugfixes for the new CB, and there a lot of openings on the dev team that have gone unfilled (I\'d offer to help out, but I can\'t even draw convincing stick figures, let alone 3d models, and my coding sucks), but is there even a priority list from the devs that can be shared out?   Even if we promise not to whine when feature X was implemented before feature Y (yeah, tall order)?

A: Just do: chmod 755 PlaneShift_CBV0.3.010.run && sh PlaneShift_CBV0.3.010.run

Q: How do I use the update?
A: Same as installer: chmod 755 PlaneShift_CBV0.3.010-UPDATE.run && sh PlaneShift_CBV0.3.010-UPDATE.run

Why does this work?  ie what does chmod do?  As well what are the && ,sh, and 755 for?  If there is a way to ask the OS this please let me know.

Just curious.



chmod is the unix change mode command. 755 is the set of bytes that turn the file read/write/execute for the owner, read/execute for the group and read/execute for anyone else.  You can also do a chmod o+rwx for owner, or chmod a+rwx for all so that everyone can read, write and execute. The last statement is not a good one to be doing with system files, as anyone can change them.  For these files, you\'re most likely going to delete them or archive them to cd, so it\'s not a big deal.  Just don\'t leave them sitting around on a live networked filesystem.

The && is a logical AND statement.  If the first command is successful, then do the second task.

The sh Planeshift_ command tells the computer to run a shell and then interpret the Planeshift_ script.  If you are using Bash, or most other shells, you can just execute the program normally, using ./Planeshift_  . Some shells don\'t work this way, so the safest thing to do from a developer standpoint is have the end user execute it through shell (sh), which they know works.

Regards.


You could try compiling from CVS, I think that is working, provided you get the correct code tree.  Until then, we are at the mercy of the devs.  

I just downloaded this yesterday, so I\'m not missing too much.  I guess that I could install it on my laptop and play in windows, but I don\'t see too much point in that.  The devs will have it fixed when they have it fixed.

The opening screen on 03.010 looks great though :)

Linux Specific Issues / Issues with 3.11
« on: August 06, 2005, 07:45:22 am »
First off, I\'m very new to planeshift, so thanks everyone for bearing with me.  

I installed the 0.3.010 files from the website, and everything worked fine, except my client was outdated and I couldn\'t connect to the server.  The sound came up fine, the login screen, all worked.

I ran the updater, and it didn\'t update the new binaries.  I read the forum, found Platyna\'s updated installer, and ran that.  The client seems to just die after attempting to load, with no error messages.

I wiped the directory, re-installed 0.3.010, then immediately ran  Platyna\'s installer, and let it do the update, and the same thing is happening.

I run psclient, and I get :
  WARNING! Crystal Space performs better in 24 or 32 bit display mode!

planeshift.application.client:
  PlaneShift Crystal Blue
  This game uses Crystal Space Engine created by Jorrit and others
  0.99 r0 [Unix-x86-GCC]

Skipping \'radiooff\' because it\'s already loaded
Skipping \'radioon\' because it\'s already loaded

At which point it just stops, without error messages.  I couldn\'t find if there were issues with the new client or not, or if it\'s just the way I installed it.  Did I miss any steps between the initial install and the update?
