Hokay, eventually gotten the linux binary package downloaded, installed and updated.
Run psclient, what i presume is meant to be a splash/loading screen comes up (it\'s a blank white screen with the blue loading bar), then when that\'s done, the login screen, also with no background. I don\'t know if i have any issues, because i can\'t log in, owing to white input field + white text + white background = I don\'t know /where/ i\'m typing, or what\'s getting input.
everything seems fine in the console output except for
$ psclient
NOTIFY: Could not get model converter
NOTIFY: Could not get model crossbuilder
and crystalspace.maploader.parse.image:
Could not open image file \'/planeshift/tools/panflute01.jpg\' on VFS!
crystalspace.maploader.parse.texture:
Couldn\'t load image \'/planeshift/tools/panflute01.jpg\', using checkerboard
instead!
At the very least, i\'d like to be able to see what i\'m typing, so i stand a chance of logging in.
--update--
ok, edited planeshift.cfg to get the right username in, now the character select screen has the same deal: White screen, \"CHARACTER SELECT\", \"Quit\", and the pedestal works, at least, as does the character model in the creation screen. So it seems to be a 2d issue...
