Linux Client Compilation -- H E L P

[Kundalf]

Hi Pals,

I\'ve got the following problem. Yesterday I compiled the latest Molecular Blue client....
Here what I did:

I grabbed the cvs version:
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/planteshift co -rMB planeshift

I configured it:
./configure

I compiled it:

jam

Now when connecting I got a segfault and an error message that told me that some newer files were\'nt found.
So I copyed all files missing in the new version from the precompiled old version. Now my client runs perfectly, except for the characters, I only see the kind I\'ve added a snapshot of.
The textures are o.k., since I can see the skin of cats and beards of dwarfs and so on...Just the bodys!!!

Furthermore in the menu I am a dwarf, others still see me as a human....

Any idea, what to do ?

it might be that the cvs version is assuming you already have the media files, like character skins and such. i\'ll install the windows version on one of my machines around here, and see if i can give you a listing of what media files i\'ve got. can you output your planeshift directory? something like

$ ls -R planeshift > planeshiftdir.txt

or whatever.

thx,

I still have all the CVS/source junk in there...

dir is here

[Commando]

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvroot/planeshift co -P -rMB planeshift

cd planeshift
./autogen.sh <<<<<<<<< DO THIS!!!
./configure <<< If u dont whanna host a own server, ignore the MySQL error
jam << If u dont have MySQL its shud quit with 1 file skipped, its normal

Copy your old \"art\" and \"data\" folder to your new planshift folder (u prob can do something with the config file in the data, but it works if u just copy it over)

./psclient << Quit it in the menu
./pssetup << Your settings
./psclient << Run the game.. Shud work now, it says 0.2.006 as the version, but its 0.2.007 (i think u can change it somewhere in some data file...)

That worked for me...

thx, I gonna try this right now, I recompiled. already, but perhaps generating a new configure may help....

cu later...

[Kundalf]

Thanks alot,

it worked, now I\'m in my body again and I can see the others as they are....

...there must be some incompatible art or datafiles in the MB release....

some of the art isn\'t Open Source, so they can\'t provide it through CVS
