Hello.

Did you download the new client from BitTorrent or you\'ve tried updating?

There is indeed some problems with lighting on maps, and I think I\'ve found the source issue.
The cache directory inside each map has changed since this last update. There is a new LMversion (whatever that is :P) and seems that stuff has changed concerning lights.
Unfortunately, the updater server doesn\'t have those cache folders avaiable, so, for now, through updating lots of maps are simply pitch black. I guess someone will upload \"fresh\" cache files to each of the maps in game, so the updater takes them and hopefully solves this issue.

In the meanwhile, I\'ve now 2 maps that I can see correctly:

Laanx Temple: Thanks to Hokinon, but you\'ll unlikely be there.
Hydlaa Plaza: http://rapidshare.de/files/14174297/cache.zip.html

Chances are that you\'re trying to load Hydlaa Plaza, as the majority of chars start there.
What to do with the file? Download it using the \"free\" tab.
Then browse your planeshift directory, go to arts/world/hydlaa_plaza.zip
there you\'ll see a folder called cache.

Extract the cache.zip file that you downloaded somewhere (your desktop for instance) it should create a cache folder there.
Drag the cache folder of your desktop to the hydlaa_plaza.zip If everything goes as planned, you\'d be prompted to overwrite an existing cache folder.
Please, do make a copy of your whole hydlaa_plaza.zip somewhere else in your pc, so you\'re able to restore it back if something goes wrong. Once you\'ve replaced the cache folder, you\'d try launching the game again.
If you were in Hydlaa Plaza, you\'d be able to see something around you now.
Are there any MoonSeekers left?

Try running the psclient with \"-fullbright\" as command-line option.

Yeah it works THANKS. It\'s too much bright now but is yet playable now.
I\'m not German even if Dunkel means Dark, I just on the learning stage.

I assume you are using an electronic translator (would explain no traslation for psclient).  I will also assume you know what the command line is.

psclient is the name of the game application, so the sentence may be understood better stated as follows:  Open psclient using the command line with \"-fullbright\" option.

I hope this helps your translation.
