Updater???

[Cha0s]

NP.

I\'m hoping the recent post by dfryer indicates forthcoming binaries (i.e. in the next week or so). Yes, no, maybe...?

[dfryer]

Tested in debug, didn\'t seem to be any worse than previous version, so I\'m recompiling in optimize mode right now.

OSX-specific bug wise, I don\'t think I\'ve made much progress, but y\'all will be able to connect once I get this stuff in place.

You\'ll have to use Cha0s\' updater to get the new files, since the updater you all have is whacked - but when you update, it should get a more working version of the updater.

It should take me a few days, accounting for team-synchronization issues.

[Questionaire]

so, when dfryer is done with making the stuff, when we DL PS well automatically get chaos\'s updater?

[Felix Yellowhair]

Chaos and others who know.  Is Updater.jar, the updater that we should use  once Fryer is done with his updating.    Should the updater that is under Guide to using PS on Mac OS X that is based on using the 006 version
be used to replace the updater that come with the 009 download?

 

[Cha0s]

Updater.jar is what you should use if you\'re updating from an existing version. Once you DL the update, start using the official one.

But where can i find the \"Chaos\'s Updater\" everybody is talking about?

Thanks, g5

It is a stupid question since you should look in the A Guide to Running Planeshift on Mac OS X.  On the first page is the answer.   DL updater.jar
and use it once dfryer has finished his project.   The updater.jar is Chaos\'s creation.
    I hope I have not offended the first timer.  Perhaps it is because I also
been told after  some of my questions that I should look harder.  Certainly doing a search under the terms \"Chaos\" and \"Updater\" will get you to his updater.    One has to be willing to read practically every message under the Mac section if he has a mac user.   And having the Mac platform unavailable allows one to do so.   Also of an newbie, I suggest you joining one of the Guilds since they will talk about things on their site that deal with the game itself.    In these forums we should not discuss game situations.   That should be left for on-line play or in the Guilds.
    There are people who will answer that a question is stupid and for one to look harder and not give anything more.   I at least answered the question and pointed out the location of the answer.
   However, I think Blackbow33 is correct in admonishing me.   I should just answer the questions without critizing.  I would have just done it if I was online in the Plaza.  Too much trouble and typing to do criticising.

Gee Felix, give the guy a break; it\'s his first post! Running Planeshift on the Mac is not easy; it took me hours to get it working the first time. I\'ve updated once, and now it\'s not working again! We should all help eachother without telling people they\'re asking stupid questions. Geesh.

Any idea of an ETA for 3.10 update. I saw dfryer saying soon, but just curious...

Well, we are all curious and anxious.   I believe DFyer is 3 hours behind my time (EDT) which means he may do much of his work in the wee hours of the night.   Also I think the time given in the Mac section is based on dfryer time zone (Pacific daylight)   It is good that dfryer also has a Mac which he wants to be able to use for PlaneShift.

Actually, most of the trouble is because I\'m as much of a game-addicted slacker as everyone else here.  8o

dfryer, thanks for the upd..... hey wait a minute...?! you didnt answer the question...

[Cha0s]

I know when it\'ll be done: Soon?

[kata]

maybe someone should remove dfryer\'s openGL card....

[Tr1skal]

maybe u should cut dfyer some slack... if it werent him we wouldnt even have \"MacOSX Specific Issues\" topic because there wouldnt be a game for mac and definently no issues.
