updater.jar doesnt work

[longtooth]

ok so i tried all of everything on here(I think) but I cant play because nothing wil worrk.  when im in the game it says it cant connect to the server.  I cant run anything else because the regular updater says there is no updates available for my OS.  worst of all is the updater.jar wich is said to fix eerything wont run.  I have an iMac g5 so i dont think there are hardware problems so WHATS WRONG?

If you have a nVIDEA graphic card please read this thread:
Important: Mac Client Status


and please post you system specks here:
Important: User System Specs


Also please read this:
Important: READ BEFORE POSTING: A Guide to Running Planeshift on Mac OS X ( 1 2 3 )
 )

done all 3 of those things.  just posted my specs. with regards to the gfx card im running 10.4.2 so I dont think that should influence the problem that im having

[r.guppy]

There are two .jar so make shore you have right one but think you have a firewall or something set, there is a post on this down a bit, hope this sorts your problem, good luck.    )

ok so on a whim i tried seeing what would hapen if i ran updater.jar through the terminal and it said permission denied.  could this be because im not the administrator and i need paneshift in the applications folder instead of my user folder.

I have mine on my main HD in a folder called games, Try setting the permissions (if its your computer if not get owner to do it) Right click on HD get info, in box that opens goto Ownership & Permissions. if in box  You can, mine says Read & Write.

 If yours dose not click Details, in first box click padlock so it opens change to System, next box under should say Read & Write, click padlock to lock and close box.

 Then try .jar again. fingers crossed.   )

You actually do need to be the administrator as is clearly stated at the beginning of the Guide. If you are not the administrator/root user when you install/update Planeshift, you won\'t be able to set the permission bits and you won\'t be able to play. As for the Updater.jar issue, I\'m addressing that now with an edit to the Guide.

ok so i fixed my java problem and now my only question is the following : is it normal to have updater.jar say that there are -2147483648 seconds remaining?and to never get passed that

[Cha0s]

Errr... no. That probably means there was an error somewhere. Try redownloading the updater and running it again. What version of the updater, by the way? And what OS?

[longtooth]

the the not old one.  i downloaded it yesterday.  os 10.4.3

edit: tried again still getting that same calculated time and 0kb per minute.  it worked the first time i tried it but then it stopped.  after that it keeps putting up those negative remaining time.  (how awesome would it be if it really did give you negative time and it gave you your time back to do something else)

[Cha0s]

Ahhh, I see. Try downloading it again and see if it works then.

[longtooth]

nope.  i tried seeing what would happen if i put planeshift on my g3 powerbook and I still got the same problem so i dont know whats wrong

[Cha0s]

Run it from Terminal like so:
Open Terminal(.app) which is at /Applications/Utilities/Terminal(.app).
Type \"cd \" (note the space after \"cd\" ). Then drag the folder containing the updater into the Terminal window. Let go (a lot of text should appear). Hit return.
Type \"java -jar Updater.jar -debugmode\" and press return.

Paste the output of that here.

here you go

Huh. Interesting. Well, do part 2a in the Java Update Guide section.
