Need some help on playing the game on my own planeshift server.

@ThomPhoenix: DaveG changed the guide after helping me teleport on IRC, while you were of changing directories Wink

Ow, shoot, must've missed that conversation, would've saved me some time
Anyway, all is working now

The possible bugs I've discovered:
- Attacking a tribe member causes it to runglitch away, the glitching isn't intended
- You can get stuck on the steepest ramp in npcroom, I thought someone said that the new movement code should prevent that (I may be wrong)

[DaveG]

I said it's harder, not impossible.  I removed the main problem that when you're technically off the ground you can't move.  You can move a little now, so it's much harder to get into a situation where you're stuck.  (you can usually wiggle out)  However, in places with steep inclines it's still quite possible.  With the old system accidentally walking into that ramp got you stuck, now it needs much more effort.

Ah okay, good to know, I didn't hear that from you, someone must've misquoted you about that.
Good things have gotten better, anyway! 


What about the glitchrunning npc's though?

Yeah, everyone just hears "less unsticking" and goes to town.

No idea what you mean.

I'll explain:

I have the test server, the revisions from the guide.
I launch psserver and psnpcclient
I login to my server
I attack a tribemember in the npcroom
After a while of attacking the tribemember disappears
He appears somewhere else, all flickering and stuff.
I walk to it and observer it's slightly moving while flickering.

I must say it's possible I have this because of possible missing tribe scripts etc in the database?

[DaveG]

Not sure.  All that stuff isn't finished yet, so it's bound to have some issues.  I think there's a BugTracker report up there somewhere.

[ThomPhoenix]

Couldn't find one, added my issue .

I am seeing the same, but do not know when it happened. A few days ago (probably soon after being able to run the server) I noticed a stonebreaker flying around the npcroom with his arms spread out, flickering. No idea if it started after attacking him. They are still doing this when I start the npcclient now. I can see one two or three at the same time. They are from the Tribe, different members do this once they start moving. In the console I see only tribemember1 mentioned. After they 'walk' back to the group, they look normal.

It sounds a bit like thishttp://www.hydlaa.com/bugtracker/bug.php?op=show&bugid=1687&pos=1

I looked at it a bit further: when I target a moving tribemember and ask for it's position with /pos repeatedly, it mostly gives a sensible (moving) position, but sometimes I get something like:
Tribe1Member2's current position is -94010208.00,0.00,59530700.00 angle 302 in sector: NPCroom, region: npcroom
Asking /pos very quickly then crashed the server, but that is another issue

I'll add those to the bugtracker entry, thanks!
