Being able to build the game is not all, but a good start. Next will be that the test team gets an idea of how serious you are about helping, especially when things are not only fun. A good start is to help testing reports in the bug tracker, especially unconfirmed ones, or ones that are not clearly reproducible.

Thanks, its my first time actually using Terminal, and i've come across an error at almost every step, so its taking a lot longer than I thought, but when I get there, i'd also like to add to the tutorial, and update it to make it less confusing for other new testers.

That bieng said, are there any devs that run OSX? Kayden, RlyDontKnow and Pizik have helped out alot but they don't run OSX.

We really need new mac testers very badly right now. It's up to YOU, the players, to show the support we need right now! 

Its been 5 months... Does this offer still stand? I'd be happy to test, but I'm running Planeshift on an intel-based MacBook,
if you still want a tester, i've started playing Planeshift again and i'd be more than happy to help.

Here's the console log:

...if you remember the dwarf that would pop up when you dropped a slag or dust.
...you and your friends brought three or four ulbers to harnquist and laughed as they killed players.
...you dug platinum below the temple.
...you remember the bug that let you could train without money or skill points.
...you took rat hides from the sewer and sold them in Oja.
...you spent millions of tria on dual silverweaves.
...your forum account got deleted when Planeshift decided to change forums.

You want  user/library/applicationsupport/planeshift It isn't in the library/applicationsupport that is under the hard drive.

Thanks, I found the file and changed it.
But, I still get the instant crash.

Try looking at http://www.hydlaaplaza.com/smf/index.php?topic=36455.msg415024#msg415024 and doing what is mentioned under the Get an EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION error when starting the game... portion. Since I have made that change my client starts first time every time. Of course I realize now that I have said this I'll probably start having crash on start up problems again 

No Dice :/

ok, get this. [on a Mac OS X 10.6.2]

ThreadManager.AlwaysRunNow = true

Sorry, but where exactly do you add this line in the psclient.cfg file? at the begenning or end?

Hi guys,

I'm *attempting* to teach myself java...

I'm running on a Mac Leopard 10.5.6...


As I couldn't find any JSKs for Mac, I came across Soylatte which i've downloaded to

Users/Admin/Applications/Soylatte

I opened terminal.app and typed in the line:

edit autoexec.bat

It opened a TextWrangler file, and in it, i typed:

set path=%path%;applications\soylatte\bin
set classpath=%classpath%;.; 

Then rebooted

After that, I opened another TextWrangler file and typed up the tutorial code:

class myfirstjavaprog
{ 
   public static void main(String args[])
   {
      System.out.println("Hello World");
   }
}

And saved it as myfirstjavaprog.java in  Users/Admin/Documents/Java

next, i opened terminal.app and typed:

Admins-MacBook:~ Admin$ java myfirstjavaprog
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: myfirstjavaprog


[note: the 'Admins-MacBook:~ Admin$' bit is there automatically]

Is there anyone that might be able to point out where I am going wrong? Thanks!
