HOW TO UPDATE TO 0.3.013

[sesmi]

nvm, it\'s impossible to change it to windowed mode because setup isn\'t working either.

Edit planeshift.cfg in a decent text editor.  (notepad may not show it right, in this case; try wordpad)  Change it manually:

; Use full-screen mode if available
Video.FullScreen = false

And please verify your updater version for me.

1.0.2.8 is the updater version.

when i tried to open planeshift.cfg it said windows could not locate the file.

Noooooo......  You didn\'t do it then.

Extract that zip into the PS dir.  You didn\'t do what I said.

Concerning planeshift.cfg: You can\'t quite tell Windows to run any file by typing it into the run command. The file planeshift.cfg can be found in your main PlaneShift directory, which you have been told how to find.

I have no idea what you mean. i thought you were talking about that thing in the first post you made, but i already did that.

*sigh* thats where i went to get it. please don\'t assume where i got something with no way of telling.

Please don\'t double-post.

Ok, apparently I have to explain what a zip file is.

A zip file is essentially a compressed folder.  It contains one or more files, compressed to take up less space.  You need to extract them, as in decompress and remove them.  Place the zip into your PS folder, then right-click and select \"extract here\" if you have it.  If you\'re using the standard windows crap (or a zip prog without the commands there), you can open it and drag/drop the files into the PS folder.  (It is highly recommended that you get a real zip program, if you don\'t already have one.  I recommend IZArc.)

I knew the bit about it being compressed, but i didn\'t know i had to extract it to use it!

Yes.  That\'s kind of the idea.

I\'m extracted it to the planeshift folder, and the updated is still 1.0.2.8! what did i do wrong?

[DaveG]

And you said yes to overwriting the files?  (make sure you put them there, and not in their own folder)

No but i had previously deleted the old updater folder.

or mabye yes? i don\'t remember agreeing or disagreeing to anything....

[DaveG]

There is no updater folder.  These files belong in the root of the PS dir.  Just dump them straight in with the others.

I think you\'re missing the point here.  You need the files in this zip.  The ones it\'s going to overwrite in the PS dir are old.  Overwrite them.
