Someone screwed the update repository up...

Um... if anyone reads this... don\'t update till this gets fixed.


This is closely related to my issue, as I noted the same error in the process of debugging my problem. Apparently not only is the update repository messed up, but so is the PlaneShift CB 0.3.011 install file as just a plain install without running the updater produces the very same error.

After some further digging and research, the reason it cannot unmount VFS paths is due to that there isn\'t a VFS file anywhere in the files that are installed... I read through PSCLIENT.CFG and my system does not have the VFS file listed there.

System.PlugIns.iVFS = crystalspace.kernel.vfs

Also, if I am reading the VFS.CFG file comments correctly it is attempting to assign unix style paths on a windows file system.

Eg.:
art/world/sewers.zip <--- unix style
art\\world\\sewers.zip <--- windows style

If I am in error here, I appologize, I am just trying to provide as in depth of a report of what my problem is as to hopefully find a resolution for myself and others.

Secondly, what you might have to do is get a new updater. Your download was probably invalid. Did you get it from Bittorrent? If you did, try the main site downloads. If you used the main site downloads, use bittorrent. After you done downloading it, uninstall, delete, remove all traces of PS cb 3.0.11 and then reinstall. If this doesnt work your gonna need one of the programmers to help you :(


I forgot to mention that fact in my original post in my endeavor to be as detailed as possible... I\'ve downloaded the install from the main server, the mirror server, as well as the BitTorrent and it does not matter which I use to install from, I get the same errors everytime.

Technical Help: IN GAME bugs (after loading world) / Updater Problem
« on: August 23, 2005, 05:57:43 pm »
First, I just got done downloading the program about 4 hours ago.

I am using:

Planeshift CB 0.3.011
MD5SUM for PlaneShift_CBV0.3.011.exe:
fc36e88c174f44f7540f130782afcfbb *PlaneShift_CBV0.3.011.exe

PIII 1.6Ghz (AMD Athlon XP 2000)
224Mb RAM
S3 Graphics ProSavageDDR 32Mb
Windows XP Pro SP2

After installing the game, I let it run UPDATER.EXE and it downloads the registry and then a new version of the updater. Once that completes, it restarts and downloads the registry and then states \"CHECKING FOR UPDATES... THIS MAY TAKE A WHILE.\" And then nothing happens. Through the updater, I can ping the server, average response of 395ms, but I left the updater sitting for 40 minutes and no change.

I\'ve done this 3 or 4 times, once immediately after the initial install. I then uninstalled it, rebooted, reinstalled it and tried just running the game without running the updater with the following result:

\"SCF_WARNING: factory returned a null instance for crystalspace.kernel.vfs
        if error messages are not self explanatory, recompile CS with CS_DEBUG
WARNING: could not load plugin \'crystalspace.kernel.vfs\'
Couldn\'t load VFS plugin \"crystalspace.kernel.vfs\"!
ERROR: csInitializer::SetupConfigManager failed!
Is your CRYSTAL environment variable set?
Exiting Planeshift.  Press Enter...\"

Uninstalled everything, deleted all directories, rebooted, reinstalled, rebooted again, ran updater with the same results.

Last, I tried going through the command window, using \"UPDATER --AUTO\", to which I get the following results:

Couldn\'t unmount temporary VFS path (art/world/npcroom.zip)!
Couldn\'t unmount temporary VFS path (art/world/podium.zip)!
Couldn\'t unmount temporary VFS path (art/world/akkaio.zip)!
Couldn\'t unmount temporary VFS path (art/world/arena.zip)! <-- sits and scrolls this one for a long time
Couldn\'t unmount temporary VFS path (art/world/sewers.zip)!

Plus more that I didn\'t sit here and cut & paste.

I\'ve at my wits end trying to troubleshoot this, and nothing I read in your forums or FAQ explains how to possibly remedy this problem. Is it just me, my system, or what?
