OSX users out of luck?

[Juke]

That\'s incredible...
Finally, I have updated with:
./updater.app/Contents/MacOS/updater

But now, when I try launch psclient:

Crystal Space for MacOS/X 0.99 r0 [MacOS/X-powerpc-GCC]
Ported to MacOS/X by Eric Sunshine

WARNING: could not load plugin \'crystalspace.kernel.vfs\'
Couldn\'t load VFS plugin \"crystalspace.kernel.vfs\"!
ERROR: csInitializer::SetupConfigManager failed!
Is your CRYSTAL environment variable set?

O_o

That error has been mentioned before in the Support>> CB Bugs >> Mac OS package thread, but I don\'t remember the solution.  If you find it, post it here for the next guy.

Bad VFS file. Pick up the one in my guide.

[Juke]

Ok, thanx!!!! :-)

I\'m in play, again!!!

Thanx!!!

Now, I must recover a sword... All my items are vanished... ;-)
Thanx, again.

Cool..
Thank you Buddha, Finally I\'m standing on the Plaza )

[buddha]

Damn you, Halley!  YOu are there and I am not!  My won\'t work any more!

[askkasha]

i reinstalled updated with chaoses updater then changed xmlread to tinyxml in psupdater.cfg. than i ran the updater through terminal and then ran psclient from terminal and it works im in.

[Halley]

I can do the same way like askkasha, but i have to change the vfs.cfg file, before updating.
As well i did all the create and copy directory stuff that CHaos wrote in the beginning his discription. But i\'ve done it once at the start and didn\'t change anything there.
I pray with you buddha and hope to see you at the plaza soon.
And don\'t be that sad, the game is quite bugged atm , so it\'s worth waiting for the next patch.

Hello, again

Yesterday, I have been playing without problems.
Today, I try to connect and appears a message: You are not running the correct version of... again!!! :-/

hey...I am really new to mac\'s and to this game and i am having problems even getting started.

from what i read, the mac version is slightly broken, there seems to be ways around it...but again, I am a Mac idiot, and don\'t yet understand what you guys are saying.  I downloaded the version on the downloads page, installed it and in the ps_install image saw a read_me file and the folder containing the game files.  Am i correct in assuming that the ps_client file, in the folder, is similar to a pc\'s .exe file?  and if so, that is where I am having a problem, when i click on it, it pauses and then crashes, and unexpected quit error.  I was wondering is you guys could help out, or if I should just wait until later, when it might be fixed.

thanks

The only way to get it to work that I know of is going through the giant rigamorole.  If you feel up to it you can find it here. If not it might be a long time before they fix it.  Also as far as I know no Mac is able to get on right now due to a version update but no Mac release yet.

If you\'re having trouble with that guide, try this one:
A Guide to Running Planeshift on Mac OS X

[askkasha]

and if your having trouble with that guide try this one for those of you that are lost on all the programming jargon ive updated my simple walkthrough to reflect the current situation. here it is http://www.planeshift3d.com/wbboard/thread.php?threadid=13164&boardid=33&styleid=3&sid=a35f182ea6aae4755c6f4f16aaaccba0&page=15#293

Just want say hello to everyone! And a thumbs up to all the fellow Mac addicts like myself. I consider myself to be a expert graphics person and i am currently considering joining the team. The real bonus for me is i am avid player of EQ on MAC and PS2. I have seen the mistakes in general game play balance. I also have seen many mistakes in programming that affected game play. And for years have been wishing that some company would work towards building a game that considered balance in all aspects of its body of work. In fact my biggest wishes was that Apple it self would create a game of this nature ( which i know wont happen but i like to dream ) as i know it would come out perfect and game play would be at its best. But i see the potential of many fans and experts coming together in this project to create a game where devs listen to its users instead of overpaid team leaders that do not have a clue about gaming.

I have very strong opinions about what a game of this nature should be and feel like. I am going to refrain from over posting on my first post as i can not even try the game at this point. But one of the largest mistakes i personally feel almost every game has made is over complicating the game in almost every aspect. \"Keep its simple stupid\" i think would be a great rule to live by in the dev of this type of game. Now for you people that say \"wait a game like this needs to be complicated to keep people interested\" this is not really what i mean. A game can be complex yet easy and fun to use and still provide many levels of complexity with out sinking the ship. I could go into deeper details regarding many examples of this but im sure if you have played any of the current games of this nature that charge money you will know they go out of there way to make things complicated. Which is not needed and is complete overkill also adds alot to programing and in many cases game performace.

Well anyway im hoping to try this game out when the mac version is updated. I will post more after i give it a shot.
