Does anyone know if the updater supports \'resuming\' as the server is swamped right now and I\'d like to come back to it later.

Does it restart from scratch or resume?

No, you don\'t need the server files, but you might as well leave them there, if you have a lot of space. And no, I believe that you can\'t take those off.

Following the old CVS instructions, Planeshift is now compiling. I will report on that later.

Current Status: Updater is running!

After recompiling the whole package (i did that 6 times!) i finally can start the psclient -now without exessive graphicerror- and am able to connect to the laanx-server.
when i start to choose a race ps tells me \"Couldn\'t find the mesh! Please run the updater\".... but the updater tells me that all files are up2date.
Any idea?

This is the error printed by the \"Couldn\'t find Mesh libary! Run updater\" problem:
View:
  Failed to load mesh factory from file /planeshift/models/dermm/dermm.cal3d

I am starting to suspect cal3d/CS isn\'t working correctly, but the walktest for CS worked, so I\'ll try recompiling cal3d.

crystalspace.graphics3d.shader.fixed:
  Multitexture units: acceptable 6

crystalspace.pluginmgr.loadplugin:
  WARNING: could not load plugin
  \'crystalspace.mesh.loader.factory.sprite.cal3d\'

crystalspace.maploader.parse.meshfact:
  Error loading plugin \'crystalspace.mesh.loader.factory.sprite.cal3d\'!

Xortran: The cal3d lib isn\'t installed properly, CS didn\'t install correctly with cal3d or you libpath to cal3d lib files isn\'t correct when you start the client.

As I suspected. Thank you, I will try to reinstall CS and cal3d.

i do not know when a \"stable\" linux client will be out, i am guessing that they released a windows binary before a linux one is because well windows does have a larger mindshare and marketshare than linux.  also installing from CVS is not that bad, the instructions posted by karakth are fairly straight forward and easy to follow, in fact they should work for distros other than gentoo, the only thing you would need to do is make sure you have jam, cvs, and automake/autoconf installed and you shouldn\'t have too much trouble.
