Come download PS and play the real game - a Live CD is like a DEMO, and what is the point of having to reboot your PC if you want to play?  I guess the advantage is that you could play it on any PC, the disadvantage is that you can\'t update it...


The other advantage is you can burn a copy easily for a friend, rather than saying \"Sure, just download and install the old install and apply the two patches and *maybe* it\'ll work\".

And since the player info is kept on the server, all you need is a CD of the latest version with you and you can play whereever you are! Updating is an issue, as you\'ll have to download the whole iso, so long as we can keep the size down it shouldn\'t be too bad...

Since I\'m new to PS, how often is the release cycle?

I had the same problem initially, this was because I failed to do the final two steps, which are shown in the link posted by Araye.

Good luck!

If anyone was wondering, this was indeed one of those \'Works fine tomorrow\' things...

Was playing ok, then the app died with this error:

psclient.bin: coreanimation.cpp:240: void CalCoreAnimation::getPose(float, std::vector >&) const: Assertion `time >= 0.0f && \"time must be > 0\"\' failed.
   

Attempting to run the app again, it dies when I\'m just about to enter the game (after connecting to the server and selecting my char).

Same error as above...

Hopefully this is one of those \'Works fine tomorrow\' things...

Ok, we\'re back online!

The steps I took were a basic re-install:

1. Re-installed PlaneShift_CBV0.3.011.linux.x86-2.run

2. Re-applied PlaneShift_CBV0.3.012P-r2.i686.bin

3. Re-copied psclient.bin  pssetup.bin  updater.bin (present in the PlaneShift-CBV0.3.0.12-r4-i686.tar.bz2 file)

4. Re-ran the updater (this took a long time)

5. Ran ./pssetup

6. Launched the app from the setup

Hopefully, this stays working!!

Cheers for the reply guys.

After newyears (I\'m taking a bit of a break, from work and pc\'s) I may start looking into this.

It will be sad if the hardware requirements end up being large quantities of ram (say, minimum 768MB) though this shouldn\'t be a huge problem for people with 1GB+, which is quite a few when it comes to the gamers.

PS has a long way to go, so there\'s plenty of time to slowly get a PS LiveCD project going...

I\'m keen!

True, for PC\'s with 256MB (less than that you\'re pretty much stuck with DSL, Puppy etc) though if you\'re luck and have 1GB+ it\'s quite fast. If you were able to cut down the distro so it was the bare minimum needed to run PS, you may even be able to load the entire contents into ram (the old \'toram\' at boot) and have a superfast machine!!

Am I the only one that is excited about this? :)

Main PC:

SUSE 10.0

Kernel 2.6.13-15.7
gcc version 4.0.2 20050901 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux)
glibc-2.3.5-40

Sorry, but what is DRI?

If you can have live CD\'s, such as Mepis, able to have Nvidia drives working and the ability to play TuxRacer in OpenGL goodness, what else is needed, apart from a running version of PS?

Of course, there would be a new release of this liveCD every month or so, to keep up with the latest version, but that\'s not such a bad thing is it? It would definately lift the user base!! You should also be able to get away with a very small distro, pretty much KDE + PS with no fluff.

Ok, quick update - I got the game to work, though since this was a mess since I was going over the same steps multiple times and doing dangerous things (chmod 777!!) I have no real idea exactly *what* I did that finally made the game work. All I can say is, do what the Linux install steps say (ie install the slightly old version, the both patches) and also do \'stuff\' and if that doesn\'t work, try some \'things\' but yes, it is possilbe to get it to work.

And then I did something bad. I rebooted...

./pssetup now gives:

planeshift.setup.application:
  Warning: Loading \'data/config/setupwindow.xml\' failed!
  Warning: Loading \'data/config/skinwindow.xml\' failed!
  Warning: Loading \'data/gui/ok.xml\' failed!
  Warning: Some PAWS widgets failed to load

while ./psclient gives:

/home/pebblyman/games/planeshift/psclient.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libcal3d.so.11: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So, if anyone has any suggestions, otherwise I\'m going to try and work it out and will post results.

I\'d really love either of the following:

1. A Linux install that is the current version (to avoid these issues)
2. A \'howto\' guide for the main distos outlining the exact steps required to get PS to work for your distro - including all the weird things you need to do to actually get it to work.

Once I get everything working, I may be moving to a snapshot (alpha release) of SUSE 10.1, so I may be able to do the second one (if I can actually get it to work with my not-so-great linux skills).

Linux Specific Issues / PS Live CD?
« on: December 17, 2005, 06:43:10 am »
Hey all,

Just wondering if anyone has thought of creating a LiveCD (based off Knoppix) that has the latest version of PS?

I\'m running SUSE 10.0 here, the only issues I\'ve found is with sound, so get used to running alsaconf whenever it stops working (for me, that\'s every reboot).

Also, as yet I haven\'t been able to get PS to work. Problem after problem. The closest I\'ve gotten is being told I\'ve got the incorrect version compared to the server, though this wasn\'t the case.

I\'m going to give it a few more hours, then I\'m going to give up.

I\'m hoping that 10.1 will fix the sound and by that time PS will have an installer that \'just works\' without the need for patches over old releases and updates that seem to do more harm than good.

So, if it\'s working with 9.3, stick with it, and upgrade in March 2005 to 10.1
