Wish list / Re: Cloaks Reloaded
« on: October 03, 2009, 12:11:45 pm »
There was a time in history when cloaks were used as a symbolic tool and were completely acceptable.  Even if someone knew the identity of the wearer, they respected the wish to be incognito and pretended to not know them.  A city official could wear a cloak to signify that they were on unofficial business.  Two feuding families could attend each other's weddings, conduct business, etc while cloaked without offending their family.  Cloaks were not always used for foul deeds.

General Discussion / Re: The Nuts and Bolts of Planeshift
« on: September 17, 2009, 11:30:02 pm »
Personally, I'm just on PS to have fun.  I explore, I raise some skills, I try different "jobs", and I stay in-character.  I don't get into the whole scripted mini-play kind of RP.  My RP is spontaneous, when I feel like it, and also when there are others around that will share an RP experience.

In other words, I'm not a "serious" RPer in the mind of some players.

Not everyone can be the super-villain or the superhero.  There should be room for the nondescript players that just want to enjoy this world and are willing to speak and act IC.

Development Deliberation / Re: Should CVS point to Official PS server and mirrors?
« on: July 28, 2007, 02:13:54 am »
Mah.  Guess I fit into slot #1 (Crazy people).  I almost always build from source once I make a decision on keeping something.  Some people play the piano, some are happy listening to it on the iPod

And sorry if I offended anyone. I thought the distinction is that Planeshift is the game, and Crystalspace is the engine.  Since I was checking out Planeshift, I assumed that I was co'ing the game.

Perhaps this is a false assumption, but I believe that the majority of people that checkout cvs would be more interested in accessing the fragnetics server than in accessing localhost.  More so since the ones interested in running their own server should be adept at calling out localhost.

The gameserver address, ports, and mirrors list (on the other hand) are not "common knowledge" to most individuals entering the game. 

It just seems to me that  either (1) the game server be the default for cvs, or (2) these be toggled in pssetup (or something similar)

Development Deliberation / Should CVS point to Official PS server and mirrors?

I checked out D2007.07.10.12.00.00 today to try to get a client better optimized for my machine.

I've spent the past 2 hours tracing all the locations where the servers and mirrors are pointed to localhost.   Shouldn't the client CVS remain defined as the official game resources? 

BTW, a username and password hash were left in the psclient.cfg file.   ::|

Linux Specific Issues / Re: gentoo ebuilds
« on: July 25, 2007, 03:44:00 am »
I backed up and punted.  I've pulled the CVS version and compiled it.  Sabayon's version of Gentoo can be easily broken when overriding masks, especially hardmasks. 

BTW, the current (as of about 3 hrs ago) commit is a mess.  It is completely directed to localhost server.  I have had to rewrite mirror lists and random .xml files just to get the Updater to connect to the official game server.  But that needs to go in its own topic which i think i will write now.....

              *sigh*

OK, a specific emerge of 019-r1 gives me this
Code: [Select]
localhost portage # emerge planeshift-0.3.019-r1

!!! 'planeshift-0.3.019-r1' is not a valid package atom.
!!! Please check ebuild(5) for full details.
!!! (Did you specify a version but forget to prefix with '='?)

[Edit]
And, yes I put games-rpg/planeshift" in package.keywords

Ouch!  Here's where mine borks out;
Code: [Select]
localhost portage # emerge -pv --tree planeshift

These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

Oh, and I am using Sabayon branch of Gentoo

run updater.  There is a .desktop for it and for setup in the /opt/PlaneShift directory.  I recommend copying these to the desktop or to your menu
