Mac OS Package!

SantaGoneWrong - One thing to check would be any messages in the \"Console\" application under /Applications/Utilities/Console when you try and run Planeshift- that might tell us why it quits immediately.

You might just have a really old version of PS, or something is corrupted, or permissions are set wrong.

Hello there,

I have the same problem with the updater quitting unexpectedly. Here you have the console text. I can also post the OS X crash report if that is of any help. Allthough it is rather long.

Console text:

What command line in the terminal could I use to start the psclient?

(I played this game a while ago, I just downloaded the client again and it says if it does not start up, which it does not, I should try opening it through a command line)

I did update by the way.

I believe there are actually OLD binaries in the repository and that the client would have worked correctly had you NOT updated. That aside, even if you do get the client running, you won\'t be able to connect to the server as dfryer is still working on the latest update. In summary, be patient and watch the forums for more news.

just finnished dowloading ps, and after the install, put a copy of resources in usr/local/lib as per dfryer\'s post.

Planeshift starts but quits just after the intro music and says an unexpected error occurred.


Edit: Just noticed a few things,

* when you try to run the updater not a lot happens, it checks the file and seems to be downloading the registry xml, but then nothing else happens.

* when cb starts up it says its 3.0.0.4 - when it says 3.0.0.5 on the downloads page.... weird

music? Kool.. i dont have music on mine

[bluefudge]

W8 a sec... what\'s the Account from the begining? i\'ve did a Account but i did\'nt write any Account names or something like that

[Cha0s]

First of all, you double-posted. Second of all, your first post was sort of pointless (and the reason you don\'t have music is that it\'s a BUG which we all know about). Third of all, that last post belongs in another forum. *points to Newbie Help.

Sorry for repeated postings, but i checked where dfryer said and i got this from the entry for psclient:
Failed to create OpenGL context
WARNING: failed to initialize plugin \'crystalspace.graphics2d.glosx\'
Error loading Graphics2D plugin.
WARNING: failed to initialize plugin \'crystalspace.graphics3d.opengl\'

HO HO
and this for the updater:

Hello, I\'m using the mac osx latest version (10.4) and the updater dosen\'t work... i have downloaded the unofficial updater, updated my game and now... when I clik on psclient... nothing happens :/ please help me.

P.S It still doesn\'t work when i try to run it with the terminal : acces denied ?!? Please help me!

[Cha0s]

Read the threads on this forum. Please. Thank you.

I never thought this would happen, but the Mac OS X forums have been hit by a huge newbie infestation. That\'s 3-5 in the last 2-3 days... We must do something!

[Dari]

Yes, I think so (loads shotguns?)

[Mathious]

perhaps we should create a thread entitled \"Post here if you havent searched, havent read, are a newbie, and are prepared for the flaming of your lifetime...\"

[Cha0s]

Excellent idea...
