« on: June 03, 2005, 02:25:44 am »
This is for any of the mac people with the same problem and the people who know how to fix it.

Planeshift client has unexpectedly quit.

ps udater has unexpectedly quit.

I found out that this problem is a bug.
I am just wandering how to fix it.  
I updated everything and still get this problem.

if you used chaos\'s updater then do the following steps

open terminal, type in \"cd\" followed by a space, then drag your planeshift folder into the terminal, press return
then, type in:

./psclient.app/Contents/MacOS/psclient

hit return, planeshift should run now, please look at other threads before posting, there are questions like that that have been answered already, or simila quistion...

EDIT: please refer to the post \"A Guide to Running Planeshift on Mac OS X\" all amswer you need is there

If you hold the appley key, the shift key and the \"a\" key at the same time the Applications folder will open.  From there to go the utilities folder and then terminal.
Abandon hope all ye who enter here.

Or download and run my latest app, PSClientCMD (from your Planeshift 3D folder). That\'ll launch PS for you.

EDIT: You can find it here.

You need to make sure that you\'ve updated (use my updater). Then you need to run my application PSClient.jar from the Planeshift 3D folder by double-clicking.

what about this....
« Reply #10 on: June 03, 2005, 06:44:07 am »
I\'ve download and chmod the two .apps.
I\'m able to launch psclient.
But at logon screen I can input any characters.  What\'s with that?
I\'ve edit the planeshift.cfg file to at least throw my username on the screen but I still can\'t interact on the screen so I can input my password.

Edit:  I launched psclient via Terminal.  I\'ll do a search on my posts...I\'ve had this problem before but don\'t rememeber now what I did to resolve it.  If not, I\'ll download the files again and try again.

Hrmm... That\'s odd. I haven\'t had that problem. I didn\'t actually log in, but I could interact with the screen. Check the console perhaps. And if you\'re running in full screen, try windowed mode.

Are you launching from command line or gui?

One possible problem with commandline launches is that if the application\'s bundle is corrupted, input gets sent to the console instead of to the application itself (well, at least keyboard input...)

This will *probably* also happen if you use my PSClientCMD app, as it basically simulates running a command from the command line (though I\'m not sure what it does with keyboard input...). However, that app isn\'t necessary anymore: I\'ve relinked the vfs file. See the first post of the Guide.

yes my problem is that they both unexpectedly quit when opened, but me having a mac os x 10.1.5, am not sure if i am able to use the .jav thing that you have requested i use. when i try to open \"updater.jar\" nothing happens but an icon in the dock appearing (multiple if clicked multiple times) i expect that its because i have an older mac version ?? but im not sure. can my computer not open .jar\'s or what? this is annoying and i would like to know what i have to do in order to play this game.
