Updater???
« on: May 15, 2005, 02:16:46 pm »
I know there are updates occuring at the moment, and I know that we mac users in a way dread new updates to the game...

So, does the updater work? ChaOs, does your updater work? I know when we got 3.009 dfryer said don\'t use the updater. Is it fixed yet, or is this set of updates 3.010 and we won\'t be able to play for a while?

I\'m just worried that we won\'t get to play for a while again, anyone have any answers?

That was exactly my reaction to the update announcement: Oh NO!

I have experimented with moving my psclient file out of the directory, updating, then moving it back in.  It worked once, so I stopped messing with it.  I don\'t know where the version information is kept, but I don\'t think it\'s in the executable.

Well, it\'s another good time for me to be away from PS, lots of work right now...

Yeah, I get to play about 3 hours a week when I\'m not busy (but I still have time to troll the forums) but this means FORUMS only for what, a month?

If I know more C++ (I\'m a FORTRAN guy) i would help out.  So, DFryer, if there is some FORTRAN work to be done, I\'m your guy...

My updater should be working fine. The real issue is whether or not the files we need to update exist in the repository...

Well, if your updater is working, then there is a glimmer of hope... But me being the pessimist, I think the files won\'t be in the repository, they will again need to be coded...

Well, I have exams for the next couple weeks, so yeah, maybe it\'s good timing.

Also, just out of curiosity, isn\'t the coding for the mac usually done in objective C, not C++? Hm, I really don\'t know.

Seems I\'ll have to find something else to keep me from revision... Xirius scans Macintosh Garden... Ooooh, Castles Siege and Conquest, Monkey Island...Loom! Hehehe excellent, classic games.

I\'ll continue to check the forums, see you all ingame in a couple weeks hopefully.

An update? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooo...!

Off topic for a second: I recently got the two abandonware Monkey Island games from the Macintosh Garden. Did you know that ScummVM (http://scummvm.org/) can play Scumm games (like the first two Monkey Islands) in OS X?

Yes. Though if you learn C++, objective C isn\'t that hard to learn (for that matter, if you learn Java, C++ isn\'t that hard to learn and vice versa of course). Also, Planeshift may be an exception of sorts. Ask dfryer for a definitive answer, though.

Apple\'s Cocoa libraries were designed for Objective-C, the Carbon libraries for C/C++ - all three are used, but Planeshift uses all C++.  However, the Crystal Space libraries that it depends on use a mixture of C++ and Objective-C for system interfacey stuff.

And no, I haven\'t uploaded new binaries, still compiling and testing.  It is likely that some of the lighting bugs are still there, I will try and ship with the \"inside glitch\" fixed, though.

Thanks for clearing that up dfryer, I study archaeology, about the farthest subject away from computers, so I had no idea.

Also, thank you very much for working on the new updates, I look forward to the next client with great anticipation...

ok, i am a complete noob and i just downloaded ps today, and i am trying to update it.  but, whenever i try, the program randomly quits, and never gets a chance to do anything.  and its  really annoying. is this what yall mean when the updater never works, cause if it is, then say so and il never bother yall again.

\"whenever i try, the program randomly quits, and never gets a chance to do anythin\" ... \"is this what yall mean when [you say that] the updater never works\"

Brilliant deduction!

And if it did it still wouldn\'t help you, since I haven\'t uploaded new binaries :/

Sorry, slightly off-topic but I couldn\'t see anywhere else reasonable to post. Anyway, looking at the third mirror of the OS X on the PS homepage, it says \"Uploading files\". I\'m curious, cos it\'s been doing that for quite a while. Any reasons, or a dead duck?

#1. Just make a new thread
#2. I\'m assuming that they either A. uploaded the files already and didn\'t change that or B. were going to upload the files but never got around to it. It\'s not that big a deal, though, as there are 2 other working mirrors. Then again, DLing stuff from those mirrors doesn\'t get you anywhere anyway, so it\'s all a moot point, really.
