[solved] graphical problems ingame (textures)

[Mohamed_Al_Gad]

Hello,

I just installed the 3.019 Planeshift on my ubuntu 7.04
I choosed not to use the default installation directory (/opt) and I got the following problem :
 - After login to the server, when choosing my character, it seems that there are no textures on every "3d views"
 - the same in game, ... not very nice :-/

After trying to "tune" configuration, noticed that in the installation directory (mine was /usr/local/games/planeshift), I got another planeshift directory with the "real" game inside (previously I had version 3.018 in the same directory).

It seems that the installer doesn't handle correctly customs installation paths, so I uninstalled and reinstalled in the default directory (/opt) and then everything's working.

Please note that I am not complaining - just giving my feedback 

Hope this could help somebody

I changed the install path for this update so that people can't do stupid things like install in their home dir, then if they uninstall it removes the home dir Instead it installs in a folder called PlaneShift in the install path given. I may change it back if it causes problems though...

I don't say that auto-creating a planeshift subdirectory is a problem, but using a custom installation directory *should* work and in this case.
I think, there is a bug in the installer's custom path handling, because I had the texture problem, like if the game wasn't able to find some resources.

Finally, not a major problem, I just tried to contribute for this great project
