How was it installed? Was it installed from CVS or maybe the Unofficial binaries? Maybe a script?

the linux installer from the official planeshift website. the cvs repository is unavailable - for 2 days now ...

Check your cal3d and CS installations... was the LD_LIBRARY_PATH set?

As for the code, I\'ll consider making it generally available, though for now you can get to it by decompiling (no comments or variable names though).

thanx for the nice tool and i usually ask before i decompile other peoples binaries. most of the time i get code with comments ....

cheers,

Have you decompiled Java before?

The Java compiler puts in the stuff that\'s needed run the code, not everything in the source file, so a decompiled Java class file will have generic variable names and no comments. Also, you should probably extract the class files from the JAR first (jar xf Updater.jar). Then look around for a good Java decompiler.

i used JAD. decompiling depends on how you compiled the code. if you left the debug information inside i\'ll get readable code.

JAD is quite old (but usefull!) - do you know a better one?

i made this startup script and the same error is still there:

#!/bin/sh
CRYSTAL=/home/test/games/planeshift/CS
CEL=/home/test/games/planeshift/cel
CSCONFPATH=/home/test/games/planeshift/cel
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/test/games/planeshift/cal3d/lib:/home/test/games/planeshift/CS:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

export CRYSTAL
export CEL
export CSCONFPATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

cd planeshift
./psclient
cd -

You can use my Java updater if you like (I\'d actually be interested to here how it works out as I\'ve not been able to test it on Linux).

i tried to get planeshift running under windowsXP. after using your updater i get: \"Something unexpected happened in PlaneShift ....\"

should the updater work under windows?

[Cha0s]

Yes. Did you run it with \"updateall\" from the command line?

at last, planeshift cvs is back up!

hm, no - did not know that i should ...
i\'ll try again!

[trebiani]

i tried it with the updateall option but planeshift did not start. after installing again and using the official installer i was able to start it (using windows). with linux i still have no luck :-(

[Wildboiz2]

can anyone help me? When i try to play it says something like the server isn\'t running.

[derula]

select the laanx server instead of localhost when connecting -.-
