Game not unexpectedly quitting per se, but still not functioning

[Alpaca]

I\'m using the vfs file in the sticky.

Now, when you say that I should cd into the directory it\'s running from, do you mean cd\'ing into the standard, finder-viewable Planeshift 3D directory, or cd\'ing into the actual psclient.app and it\'s subdirectories, and getting to the file that you execute itself?

(I hope the above post is clear. Pardon my wandering hemi-run-on sentences. )

You can cd into the finder viewable folder and then ./psclient.app/Contents/MacOS/psclient.

Type this:

\"cd /Applications/Planeshift\\ 3D/\"

Then this:

\"psclient.app/Contents/MacOS/psclient\"

Thank you very much. That worked. Final question: may I close the terminal once the game has launched?

[quintiusc]

I haven\'t tried it but I would guess the answer is no.  It doesn\'t hurt anything to have it open.

There\'s only one way to find out...

I normally play in full screen mode, so I never get a chance to close it anyway. I can predict your question asking how to get it to run full screen, so here it goes:

Use Textedit and use Command-O to open a file. Check off ignore rich text commands and open the planeshift.cfg file.

Change this line:

Video.FullScreen = false

to this:

Video.FullScreen = true

then save the file, quit Textedit, and run PS from the Terminal.

Heh. Actually, I prefer it in a window, as it allows me to access other stuff, but I appreciate the future knowledge. Thanks for all your help.

1. Using my updater, the vfs.cfg file will NOT be overwritten unless the \"Update all\" box is checked (which is required during the initial install, see the guide). That box should only be checked when updating major releases (or if it stops working after an update ).

2. If you copy the vfs.cfg file, it should launch from the Finder without a problem. Make sure you do this at the end, as otherwise the update will overwrite it (try copying it in now, for instance).

3. If you check the \"Update zip entries\" box in my updater, you\'ll probably get a smaller download size, though this method has not been 100% tested as to how well it works. If anyone has reports on this feature\'s function (positive or negative), please PM me or email me. Note that unless you had the box checked during the first update, it probably didn\'t make a difference.

4. Oh, and for Terminal: if you close the window, you\'ll terminate the process (i.e. quit Planeshift). So, yes, you have to keep it open.
