Ground is all black in Bronzen doors section (is PS a goth game :P ?)

[Bedire]

how can i relight it?

[Bereror]

1. Start PS and log on.
2. Travel to the bronze doors region
3. Log out
4. Start PS with -relight option and log on again
5. Wait! Loading took around 1,5 hours on my system. ( AMD Athlon64 3200+, 1024 MB )
6. Everything should look fine now. Log off again and start PS without -relight

Pay extra attention to the point 5, it will take long time.

this isn't my problem. i don't know where to set it

[Bereror]

Since this is a Linux forums I assume that you are using Linux.

Start the console (konsole on KDE) and go to the directory where PS is installed, which should be /opt/planeshift in most of the cases. Then enter ./psclient -relight and wait couple of hours.

thx

Any idea when a (real) fix will be available?

Of course the relight option will work around it, but isn't a true fix

I have the same "black textures" near the waterfall.  So I ran the psclient from the terminal with the relight switch.  I typed it exactly as follows:

Code: [Select]

./psclient -relightI don't think the operation worked because it only took a few minutes and those of you who have performed it report it taking over an hour.

My system specs are as follows:
Dell Dimension 8400
CPU: P4 3.0 Ghz
RAM: 1GB
Video: ATI X300 128MB ( driver/fglrx ver 8.28.8 )
OS: Ubuntu 6.06

I'm a very long time Windows user and I'm still learning Linux so I still don't understand everything that's going on under the hood.  Each stage PSClient load was successful but several files weren't found, able to be opened, or deleted.  This makes me wonder if I was suppose to run this as sudo.

I have the terminal output saved as a text file but I didn't post it in code blocks because it was really long.  I do have it though.  Sorry I'm such a noobie about this.

sudo ... no! No game should need root-access to your system to run!
Running alpha-software as root is .... well, crazy 

Did you travel to the bronze doors  before you started PS with -relight? You have to - the engine only relights the current sector your char's onto.

This method only takes a few minutes. If you use Relight in setup, it takes a very long time, depending on your system and system settings.

Video: ATI X300 128MB ( driver/fglrx ver 8.28.8 )  I suggest a driver rollback, try the 8.26.3 instead.
I had some other issues with the latest driver, but when i use the previous version, everything worked great
Trying wont hurt anything.

Edit: actualy the 8.17.2 was the most stable for me

Thanks. I will go to the bronze doors area and run it.  When I originally ran it, I was in town.  Thanks for the help.

hehe I never thought to try and fix the issue. i was having to much fun navagating in pitch darkness.. although there was one hill a came across that proved deadly

It worked fine.  There was one small area that looked like the ground was invisible.  I thought, hmm, the ground was black and I could walk on it so why not try invisible.  Note to self: invisible ground doesn't seem as solid as black ground.  It was an interesting way to visit the DR though.
