Mac OSX Specific Issues / context menu with 1-button mouse
« on: August 17, 2005, 02:06:27 am »
the issue with it is... it doesn\'t work. I tried the typical ctrl+mouse1, which is what you use in most applications. That didn\'t work, so i went into options and tried a myriad of other settings. shift+mouse1, alt+mouse1, ctrl+alt+mouse1... none work. Do I simply need a 2button mouse?

EDIT: mouselook with tab isn\'t working either, neither are many of the mouse options like mouserun

just remember, when you\'re using updater.jar, it has to be in the Planeshift 3D folder. Update all files. You MUST DELETE vfs.cfg, BEFORE UPDATING. That alone would have saved me hours of downloading/updating.

Newbie Help (Start Here) / Sector Hydungeon not working
« on: August 16, 2005, 07:17:42 am »
After I go through the well in the back of the Laanx temple to get into the Hydungeon sector, but when it loads, the graphics are messed up. The ground (or whatever I\'m standing on) is pure black, and everything else is still from the loading screen. The mouse leaves tracers on it. To better describe it, I\'ve taken a screenshot and uploaded it to my website. I\'d link, but html isn\'t allowed... so here\'s the URL: http://www.lazy-gamers.net/images/hydungeonblah.jpg
Anyone else having this issue?

Newbie Help (Start Here) / what's with the death realm (or DR01)
« on: August 16, 2005, 04:31:45 am »
ok... I died playing planeshift. I entered the death realm. However, the lighting is bad and I can\'t see the path. what\'s more, I fell off the path. A fall that would usually kill me didn\'t... but anyway, could someone explain how the death realm works?

Mac OSX Specific Issues / Not Dying From Fall
« on: August 16, 2005, 04:09:56 am »
In the sector \"DR01\" I frequently get stuck below where I should be. Not  in the same way you get stuck to walls where you can\'t move, but I\'m in an area with no way out. I fall off of paths because I can\'t see squat; the lighting is bad. Anyway, I remember that in v. 0.3.009 or whenever it was last possible to play, I would die whenever I fell. However, now I don\'t. /unstick doesn\'t help much where I am, and there isn\'t really a respawn command. I tried using /spawn to see what would happen, but the console said it was invalid.
I saw about three other users down there as well though, which suggests it may not be a mac-specific issue.
Also, if there\'s some command I don\'t know to help me restart at the beginning of the map, I apologize for making this thread.
Thanks for any help.

EDIT: Another thing: I have no clue how I got there. I was having plenty of fun killing rats in the sewers, and I got killed. When I came back, I was suddenly in sector DR01.

Mac OSX Specific Issues / Victory!
« on: August 16, 2005, 01:50:14 am »
Hurrah! It works! Thanks a million to the mac dev team. All I had to do was delete vfs.cfg BEFORE i updated. I thought I could just replace it afterwards.

THANK YOU!!!

ah. never did delete vfs.cfg... just downloaded the positively new updater, and re-copied the files from the disk image. *crosses fingers*

by the way, would using chmod help at all with my situation? earlier on this board someone said that their client was working, and they had used chmod.

yup... i\'ve been logged in as an admin the whole time. the folder \"PlaneShift 3d\" has been in /Macintosh HD/Applications. What\'s this about a font crash? I quickly scanned my planeshift folder, and there was nothing under /data/ttf/.
Also, this same startup crash happened when I tried to go from 0.3.009 to 0.3.010 using the java updater.

And I almost forgot, many thanks to the mac team (especially Dfryer and Cha0s for the help). It\'s good to know not everyone is PC only. Even though it doesn\'t quite work yet, 347.3 MB of game is something to be proud of.

sorry if this is a double post, but when i checked the boards again later i didn\'t see my original.

alright, so i downloaded the latest version of the java updater and selected \"update all files\". they downloaded, and then I tried to launch psclient. However, it doesn\'t even appear in the dock. The dock moves a little to make room for the icon, but it closes before it can even appear. Here\'s some more info, in case i have a hardware issue or i did something wrong:
the updater: I just checked \"update all files\" and crossed my fingers. The file updater.jar WAS in the Planeshift 3D folder. I didn\'t see anything about setbits on cha0s\' faq page anymore, so i couldn\'t do that.

my hardware: os 10.4.1, on a 1.67Ghz PowerBook G4 (only 2 months old).

EDIT: oops... guess it was a double. i must\'ve checked page one instead.

hmm... I tried Cha0s\'s Java updater, and selected update all files. not working at all. psclient doesn\'t even appear in my dock. The dock moves for it, but the icon doesn\'t even appear there.

Ah. I was about to ask why when i ran the updater, it was version 0.3.010 still. Well, keep up the great work, I can\'t wait until 0.3.011 is released.

wondering about the java updater: how do i pause the download? does it simply stop when i close the program? also wondering: Cha0s\'s instructions said to select \"all files\"; is this smaller than downloading the package? or should I have selected \"indivudual zip entries\"?

thx

well, last time i tried the java updater it screwed over planeshift so badly it wouldn\'t open at all. it wouldn\'t even be in the dock. thing is, i kinda skimmed the instructions... heh...
still, it\'d be nice to have a one-step updater.
oh, and just wondering, does the updater save time downloading? or does it just download the package again?

Thanks! I haven\'t really even heard of CVS before, but I\'m sure I\'ll be able to figure out enough to download the source. I\'d still suggest an easier method for source-downloading.

heh, my bad, but I still can\'t find them on sourceforge. I go to the link from Planeshift.it, which takes me here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/planeshift/ But it says \"this project has not released any files\". Are they elsewhere on the Planeshift area, or do I have to enable cookies or something?
