Installing server

[S4m]

I don't know where I must post this.. So I post here ;o)

I would like to know where I can find a complete package to run the server ( config, file, ressources .. )

Thanks

[steuben]

the cvs would be a good place to start. check the dev forum for more info.

but the art and everything else that make ps ps you won't find there. doubtful you'll find it anywhere. copyright and all that.

There is no installation package for the server. You can to build your own server by following the instructions in this guide.

If you need help, ask us on IRC:
Main room:  #planeshift
Build room:  #planeshift-build
both on FreeNode

Just to prevent another missunderstanding:
The PlaneShift code is open-source but our content is copyrighted.  It's free to use for testing purpouses, but you are not allowed to setup your own public PS server hosting our game.  The CVS DB doesn't even contain all the needed data to be used as such, so you couldn't easily do it anyway.  If you want to use our codebase to create your own game, with your own art/data/maps/models/items/races/etc, however, that's different.  It's perfectly allowed, but it's a massive undertaking, and not something you can just whip together by yourself.

Most people we help build the server are looking to futz with the code for testing or just for fun.

Yeah, just for fun. Wish I could do that. =X

PlaneShift is just too serious now. I feel like I have to roleplay more than have fun with it all. If I had enough computer knowledge to build my own server (or have a guide translated in English instead of saying "connect XXX port 7777 to slot B" or something like that...my brain explodes right there) I could play around with different things, go jumping as far as I can in the air, etc.

Ok no problem, I just want to understand it. I make a space mmo based on Celestia software.. Just for fun ;o)

[DaveG]

ooo nifty idea   I like Celestia.
What's the name?

[S4m]

The name is ... NoName for the moment lol 

I will post the homepage url when it will online.

I have a lot of error when I "spawn" the server. I miss some ressource files ?

And the server exit ( core dump ? )

Any iD ?

Looks like you are missing the characters.zip file in the art directory.

[S4m]

I copy it from client directory to the art directory of my server

Same error message, I think I must configure something to load it ? in vfs.cfg ?

[Bereror]

Assuming that your sources are newer than 2006-06-02, make sure that you have the following lines in psserver.cfg:

Code: [Select]

Planeshift.Mount.characterszip = /this/art/characters.zip
Planeshift.Mount.npcszip = /this/art/npcs.zip


[acraig]

Did the sprcal3d plugin in CrystalSpace build correctly?  Should have a sprcal3d.so ( or dll in windows ).  Check to make sure that exists first.  Second make sure that there is a characters.zip dir and a npcs.zip files in planeshift/art directory.  Characters contain the player characters and the npcs are the other mobs.
