Navigate to the vfs.cfg document in your Planeshift 3D folder and drag it to the trash. Empty the trash and then try DLing the file I linked to. :)

There are several links. Look for a file name with a black underline. On second thought, I\'ll go back and color them blue... ;)

EDIT: There you go, all colorized, just like this one:

You\'re an admin, right?

Make sure the file is not locked and that the updater and psclient are not running. Then try.

First make sure it\'s not on the DMG (as dfryer stated in the other thread...) i.e. drag the Planeshift 3D folder to your hard drive somewhere. If you can\'t delete it then, you can try selecting it, control-clicking and then \"Get Info.\" If you own the file and it is locked you can unlock it by unchecking \"Locked\". Otherwise you\'ll need the admin. But you need the admin for chmod anyway (I think), so I suggest you wait.

P.S. I believe that your problem is most likely the one dfryer mentioned. Simply drag the Planeshift 3D folder onto your hard drive or into your user folder somewhere and it should work.
