yep thats definately my old client.  A redownload should get you the updated one as Nill stated.  Not long after I released the first client, some bugfixes went in and the netcode was bumped.

I've made some small fixes to the installer and re uploaded it.  Nill will probably have it mirrored soon.  Its not really necessary unless Xordans installer is having problems for you or you don't want to actually install (this installer just creates a planeshift directory and doesn't make any symlinks, etc.).  I'll have an updated client with the newer cal3d stuff later this evening (new cal3d changes increase performance).

Nill I've updated my client again.

Recent changes:

Now asks if you want to run the art updater... 1=yes 2=no

Uses latest stable Cal3d, and a patched version of CrystalSpace.  The patch was needed to allow CrystalSpace to build while using the new cal3d.  It also adds some performance improvements for some linux users.  Rolenun's client went from 5 fps to 25 fps, though the average user may not notice speed gains of that magnitude.

You have changed version of Cg libraries since Your first unofiicial release, and I would give credit rather to this than to change in cal3d... But I may be wrong.

Changed versions of the CG Libraries?  I used the tar.gz I keep on my usb stick.. I've only downloaded it once. :D

Also its not the changes in Cal3d that are supposed to help performance.  Part of the patch I applied allows crystalspace to use current stable cal3d.  The other part of the patch was supposed to help performance in crystalspace itself.  Thus the increase in performace should be due to some changes to crystalspace...

but if you want to test that yourself ... check this out and see what happens:
