Type: Bug
Description:
The installer description is VERY misleading.
You might like to point out one VITAL piece of info....
These are NOT installers. They are UPDATES!
This is very unclear in the forums.
In order to INSTALL, you need to:
Download and run PlaneShift_CBV0.3.011.linux.x86-2.run
THEN download and run PlaneShift_CBV0.3.012P-r2.i686.bin
THEN download PlaneShift-CBV0.3.0.12-r4-i686.tar.bz2
Extract that last file to the install directory.
And FINALLY run update
In order to figure this out, I had to make the mistake of thinking that rc2 was the installer, waste a couple hours trying to figure out where it put the art directory, etc, etc... and then realise I didn\'t even have the actual installer.
An update on the Linux section of the download page would have saved me a buttload of work and frustration.
Obligatory System Specs:
Athlon XP 2200+
512MB DDR RAM
nVidia GeForce 5200 w/ 256MB
Mandrake 10.1 (Official) for i586
Linux Kernel 2.6.8.1-25mdk
KDE 3.2.3-17.7.101mdk
