FYI  - after I installed the Leopard update that came out last week, everything seems to be working just as it was before!  I have all my bars in full color, no flashing or anything.  It's like it was before!  \\o//  Since I installed the update without looking at what it was doing, I'm not sure if that's what did it, but I've done nothing else that would have changed anything. . .

*Moh raises her hand shyly and stands up

I have an idea to help "merge" the two (that was the original question, right?) :)  Perhaps certain, well chosen, people who seriously RP and are committed to improving this game in this manner could give out quests just like an NPC?  Or they could be part of an NPC quest. . .Maybe some of us should have an item, or group of items, or tria, that we can give as a reward to a quest we make up?  It wouldn't have to give a character any experience, but I know that when I first started playing this game I would have gone on a quest just to get a good dagger or two.  When entering the game, a new player would be told that certain quests could only be obtained from other players and that some quests required interaction with other players.  Like getting a piece of information or something.  As previously stated, you can't make people play the way you want them to, but perhaps we can force them to take a stab at it (no pun intended . . . okay maybe a little bit)  If this idea could be implemented along with gently guiding those new players about the ways of RPing we might have something.

My favorite technique to get someone to RP (or at least try) who is blatantly OOC is to look at them quizzically and tell them "I don't understand what you mean.  Please try saying that again". 

Gee, I hope that someone else hasn't already brought up this idea - it came to me suddenly as I was reading this thread and in my impatience to get this idea out (before I forgot it) I only skimmed the last two pages. . .

Update - no luck with restarting between fixes.  Removing the semi colon is the key to fixing the weird/glitchy graphics, but adding the two lines in PSclient doesn't make any noticeable (yet) difference at all.  I guess it's back to just watching the numbers  :o

ha ha!

Thank you Morla for those valuable links!  With more digging through the forum, I'm sure I could have found them too, but I got a tad lazy after all the searching through the forum I'd done in the previous week. . .Now from what I understand in reading the forum, since I've already stated the issue here, I shouldn't post it as a bug - correct?

hmmm...I added the two lines to the psclient flie and removed the semi colon from the data/config/r... file as instructed in the README file and in the aforementioned post.  I've even tried launching the game with only one fix or the other to see if it made a difference.  I'm going to go back through and repeat the fixes and do the old PC restart-between-each-fix trick and see if that makes a difference.

What I did forget to mention is that this wasn't always a problem - it started sometime in the last version (I think) but since I'm not sure where in the timeline I upgraded to Leopard, I don't know if that was what happened.  The game is still playable for me, just without those visual aids. . .

Off I go to try it again.

This post helped with the weird graphics - I followed both of the README instructions; deleting that semicolon and adding the lines.  BUT - the colored meter bars are either missing or in the case of my health meter, flashing intermittently (all the other bars in the Info box are missing).  In the Stats and Skills; all of the stats bars are missing.  In Skills;  clicking on Stats - all red bars, no yellow and only blue in charisma; clicking on Factions, no bars, but then up in Stats, the HP bar suddenly appears (red); all the remaining Skills are only showing red and yellow.  Most of them all flash a bit.

I found this to be happening in the 4.0 version too, but didn't know if it was a PS issue or if it was because of something I did - I may have upgraded to Leopard in the middle, so it's hard to say.  However, with the 4.02 version, I did all the updates and had to follow the instructions/tips to get the updater to run, then did the README instructions.  I tried all the possible combinations of both graphics fixes to see if it would help, but no. 

Running a MacBook Pro with Leopard (10.5.4),  Intel 2 Core Duo and a 2 gig ATY RadeonX1600.

I'd also like to take this opportunity to say that Planeshift was the first game I installed on the MacBook after a long 20+ years as a PC user.  AND it's because of working through getting Planeshift to work that I understand so much more about how Mac's work. . .THANK YOU!  I love to tinker and fiddle and fix and tweak my computer, and the Mac doesn't lend itself so well to that right at the beginning. . .

It occurs to me only now that this may simply be a bug?  Is this a sort of bug tracker type thing?  And since I'm already in question mode - where do I find the bug tracker posting instructions?

Thank you,

Moh

I too have no sound from my brand new MacBook Pro.  However, I tried Shadows idea about using headphones, and whadda know, sound!  Music!  Battle hits!
