Installer Feedback

[Xordan]

Hi guys,

I'd appreciate it if you could post any feedback on the installer (not the game) in this thread. Post both bugs and feature requests.

Just make a post in the following format:

Type: Feature Request or Bug

Description:

Your system specs:


And I'll try and resolve the problem/add the feature by the next release.

Feel free to start a new thread discussing a bug/feature request, but try and keep this thread clean please.

Thanks.

For me it would startup, and let me enter the game, but, as soon as I started to move it segfaulted. Wonder if this means anything;

Code: [Select]

$ ./pssetup
Mounting skin: /planeshift/art/apps.zip
Skipping \'YesNo\' because it\'s already loaded
DLERROR (/home/sterling/npshift/planeshift/libs/csjngimg.so): liblcms.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
SCF_WARNING: factory returned a null instance for crystalspace.graphic.image.io.jng
        if error messages are not self explanatory, recompile CS with CS_DEBUG

crystalspace.pluginmgr.loadplugin:
  could not load plugin \'crystalspace.graphic.image.io.jng\'

planeshift.setup.application:
  Application initialized successfully.
Error saving configuration \'\'.

Ok, looks like I need to include libcms. To fix that youself get libcms from your package manager.

Got them and added symlinks from within the ~/planeshift/libs/ directory.  The setup doesn\'t complain about it anymore, now it segfaults just after loading the region.  Last few lines from terminal (with -verbose on);

Code: [Select]

SCF_NOTIFY: loading plugin /home/sterling/npshift/planeshift/libs/gmeshldr.so to satisfy request for csGeneralFactoryLoader
SCF_NOTIFY: loading plugin /home/sterling/npshift/planeshift/libs/genmesh.so to satisfy request for csGenmeshMeshObjectType
SCF_NOTIFY: loading plugin /home/sterling/npshift/planeshift/libs/glshader_fixed.so to satisfy request for csGLShader_FIXED
Segmentation fault
Also tried linking to the previous install\'s liblcms, same result as above. I captured the whole output with the -verbose if it would be of help.

Ok, I guess this segfault is due to the instability of the cvs snapshot I took rather than a installer problem.

It\'s something we should take a look at anyway.

Can you post a link to the whole output?

Hm, that\'s pretty verbose, I will have to keep that in mind for an upcoming project.
However, atleast when I loaded the page it stoped in the middle of a line:

LoadAttributes
:
  GUI imag


Was that really where it ended? Or just an end of copying?

Yep, I just redirected stdout to that file.  I did it again with both stdout and stderr redirected with;

Code: [Select]

./pssetup -verbose >& verbose.dawolffe.txt
and launching from the setup GUI;

hmm, strange problem. Looks like the skin isn\'t set correctly. Check psclient.cfg that the skin is default and not cvs.

I had a similar problem with Platyna\'s last release.  I ended up editing the config file to manually select the skin - in my case \"ragnarok\" - the problem was weird, because in pssetup clicking on the skins dialog would allow me to select skins, but they would have not applied themselves ingame, even though the file looked correct.  I changed it to \"cvs\" loaded, crashed, then changed it back to \"ragnarok\" and the problem went away.

Can you also check the permissions on the files in your planeshift dir, and also make sure that your user is in the games group if you didn\'t manually choose the permissions in the installer and installed as a user other than the one you\'re trying to run with.

[Heydulf]

i just wanted to download this installer but the only answer i got was 404 :-(

[Xordan]

Yeah, I\'m moving mirrors. Should be up again in a few minutes.

Edit: Ok, both mirrors are up.

[Induane]

File permissions were fine for me and I was running with the user I installed with (same issue with your installer as with Platyna\'s) - I did the same procedure to fix it as well.  A reinstall of your installer worked find though, and I couldn\'t repeat the issue.  I think perhaps I am just insane.

Yep

...to \"ragnarok\"

Tried, no go.

Tried installing and running as root, same issues.  I then set it to \"cvs\" (still has the MB startup screen) and actually got into the game, took about 2 to 4 steps before it segfaulted.  I then set it to \"elves\", I can get into the game, I can got to the options menu and change options, but, as soon as I try to move it segfaults.

Tried downloading the installer again from the second mirror.  Now I can get into the game without any changes to the psclient.cfg file.  I can kill a MOB and take 2 steps, always on third step it segfaults.  So it seems there is something different about the installer from the first time I tried. Guess I\'ll have to wait for next version of installer.
