That would be a cool idea! But then I first should have a messenger under linux *sigh*

The quality would be better. But you would not have any experience. IMO You would end up like this guy:
But are we not losing the point of discussion? The thread was about the \"bad code of planeshift\"...

Jam is a build system like make, it\'s almost the same, you just have to type jam instead of make Make is still supported I think, but it will be obsolete near in the future I guess (at least for CS, CEL and PS)
lol you can\'t answer give a simply answer like \"yes\" or \"no\", right?
So I guess I have to use jam...Quote
The page is unmaintained due to the lack of staff members who are working on the site
How many staff members are you?
I just mean...
Better Downloads (should take at most 1 hour) > Less questions in the forum > More time to do something else
What you mean?
BTW I think Ill also try to install the windows version until I can manage the linux one.
BTW2 If noone is able to update the internet page perhaps I could! I dont know much about planeshift yet, but I know much about webdesign! But what\'s the status of planeshift? It isn\'t a dead project, right?

Cool thanks for the answer.
But some things are still unclear:
- So I know now what \"jaming\" is. But do I have to use it or not? (If yes, do I have to use it for the CS and CEL?)
- What is \"setting the exports\"? I mean do I have to do this also with the install of other programs? (Oh yeah, it also means that I don\'t have a clue how to do that)
- Why are you doing the installation of PS so difficult? Also with the windows version, I have to download 5 files and put them together with a bat. Why not just one setup file? (I know there are users with modems and not adsl/cable, but they have to download the whole PS to play it and they could use a download manager)
And why is the homepage not up to date? That would be the easiest part of the whole PS project IMO
In \"user friendliness\" you get a rating of 1/5 from me
(but in support you get a 5/5 )
I\'ll try it again this evening. I want to get into that game!

Technical Help: Problems BEFORE entering the game / do i have to use the linux howto?
« on: May 05, 2004, 11:59:30 am »
Hi all!
I really need an answer for my question. I am a linux newbie and I wanted to install planeshift on linux. I found the linux binaries on the homepage and downloaded them. Now, can you tell me if I have to do the things explained in \"linux howto\" with the jam and these thingies? The only thing I know is that you can configure a program with ./configure and install it with make install.
I read something about a new linux release, so I didn\'t know if its the one on the homepage. The link on the homepage is leading in the nirvana of sourgeforce, so i went to the sourgeforce planeshift page and downloaded the linux file there (not the \"withallsourceandarts\")
I hope I got the right version and you can give me an answer. Until then I will have to try it under windows
BTW: I got Linux Suse 8.1

Hi all!
I followed your discussion very well and it\'s really interesting. The first post scared me (comments like the game is not good programmed and other thingies). But I now see that it\'s not as bad as I expected (uhm I mean I hope so)
I myself am right now in a developer apprenticeshipment, and I would love to code for PS. But I know that I am too bad in it. I also know that I am now disturbing the current discussion, but the previous one about learing how to code made me asking if the experienced coders could give a little bit of information or tips for beginners or advanced. You never know if you could be helpful for the project or if you have to learn more.
For example if I am learning the right stuff. I can already program well in VB and I know all this stuff about IFs FORs etc. I also know the technique of objectoriented programming. I also am able to code in C. I am learning C++ right now (C# is only for windows? OMG...). I saw that I learn things fast if I just start MS visual studio and load up a sample project. Then I change some things, try to add new things and want to understand the code.
Do you think this is a good way to learn?
I hope we can continue both discussions, about CS/PS and the programming theme.
BTW: I won\'t propose C++ in 21 days... the fordummies series are much better IMO.
