Debugging
« on: August 03, 2003, 02:24:14 am »
*WANRING* the following changes will make your planeshift run slower when u get in the game.  this info is only for windows users as i cbf installing linux and gettin the client again.

right-click on your Planeshift shortcut and select properties...
select the shortcut tab...
in the target box u\'ll something like this:

\\PlaneShift\\psclient.exe -video=opengl

the opengl part may say software isntead.  change this to (don\'t change the opengl part):

\\PlaneShift\\psclient.exe -video=opengl -verbose -console -norelight

-verbose will open up a command prompt/dos window and start feeding out exactly wat the game is doing.  this is so you know when the game freezes wat it was doing (hopefully everyone\'s will be the same).

-console is suppose to enable a debugging console ingame but i didn\'t figure it out and couldn\'t really be bothered trying.

-norelight stops the whole light recalculation thing.  if you\'re running verbose mode, there will probly b a warning telling you that you should turn the light recalculation thing on.  i think it\'s ignorable.

additionally you might wanna try:

\\PlaneShift\\psclient.exe -video=opengl -verbose -console -norelight > debug.txt

this \"should\" dump all the verbose info into a file called debug.txt in your Planeshift folder.  this might not be as effective as it may not write the last file block to the file when the game locks up.

as you can probly tell this IS NOT A FIX OF ANY KIND.  this is mainly just to see where things are screwing up.
