Planeshift 0.3.19 released!

[pseudoprometheus]

*ahem*  Just a note:

Running PlaneShift 0.19a through Rosetta (get info/open-apple-I and tick the box) seems to take care of the crashing-when-you-first-move issue.  Obviously it's not a solid fix, but if you REALLY want to play and see the new creatures, that's one way to satiate your hunger.  Note that some areas of the character-selection part are still black, and opening some windows in PS is slightly laggy.

EDIT:  Okay, maybe I just got lucky that one time.  The second time I tried to get onto the server (after it went down), running PS in Rosetta didn't help.  I was only able to move around normally for a second or two before it crashed, although that was more than what I got without Rosetta.

Is anybody else having troubles with chaOs' updater? With previous versions I've just run it and everything has smoothed out. I've tried running it now because the the apps (ps client, setup, and updater) don't work. They just start up and then go away on my dock. When I run the updater, it updates all files except "psclient.app/Icon
". Don't know if this is a problem with my computer (I'm still using a G3, HA!, and 10.3.9) or the updater. But other than that, all the files seem to have updated fine.

I'm having the same problem. before I used that updater, it worked until after I clicked "join", then it crashed. now, it wont even open!

The latest files are NOT in the repository. Do NOT update. Please read the Mac Client Status sticky, folks.

Still no 10.3 compatible client ?

STILL waiting for a copy of Planeshift 0.3.19 that IS NOT dependent on knowing how to code.  Will there be a copy out some time during the summer or is this a "forget the game for now" situation?  Maybe I am asking too much for a release that is simply installed and then BANG! I click PlaneShift and the game starts.

From looking at your other posts it does not seem like you have downloaded the new 0.3.019a Mac client go download it and tell us if that works.

Caarrie, I was under the impression that 0.3.19a fixed a problem with PowerPC Macs, but not the issues faced by Intel users?  Perhaps Jim_Too uses the latter computer.

Jim_Too, I realize that you're frustrated.  Many of us are.  However, patience is a virtue, especially since, as far as I know, none of the developers are paid for their work, nor do you pay to play Planeshift when it's available.  Plus, Planeshift is very much in its development stages.  Note that the game's version numbers are still a fraction of 1.0, and it is that way for a reason.

Vent your frustrations elsewhere, and come here with patience.  It will pay off, since Planeshift has a lot of great things in store once we clear these temporary roadblocks.

Well his prior posts told me he runs PPC that is why i posted as i did.

Hey im kinda new here and just got the game this month and i started reading through this forum today just for the heck of it and ppl are all talking about version 0.3.19 and 0.3.19a....what exactly is the difference between the two? when was the 0.3.19a version released and if i looked up in the top left corner of my planeshift window would it say 0.3.19a so that i knew i had the a version or would it still say 0.3.19?

Release 0.3.019 was compiled with incorrect library references. Hence, it would only run on computers with the development libraries installed in the same location as the computer which compiled them. This issue was only relevant for PPC-based macs. The reason for 0.3.019a was to fix this issue. The two should be identical from an intel-based mac.

There are indeed issues with these clients on some macs. I hope these issues will be solved in not too long, at which point a new client will be released. This will still be a 0.3.019, as this signifies which release of the game it is. However, I expect a new letter will signify that the actual client is newer than the initial 0.3.019, e.g. by calling it 0.3.019b.

AHEM

I have been downloading and installing the versions and "repaired" versions of 19 since they started to appear ( yes, uninstalling the version prior to the reinstalls).  And patience, I raised 2 girls to thier teens, I HAVE patience, as a Dad, darn do I have patience.  But I digress and will now visit every so often to see if anything changes.

There is no need to be indignant, Jim_Too.  We all get impatient from time to time, regardless of how much our patience has been tested in the past.  (The raising-two-teenagers bit, though, I daresay earns you some props.  )

I have been waiting probably two years for this game to work on my computer..... and I just realized there was a forum
anyways... not trying to sound impatient, but when will the binaries be uploaded!?

Cha0s's edit: Excessive punctuation (mentioned by pseudoprometheus) removed.

not trying to sound impatient, but ...

If you weren't, then you wouldn't have typed several dozen exclamation and question marks. 

Two years, though?  Surely you were only checking in from time to time, and had the misfortune to miss all the times when Planeshift was working?  Even if you're using Mac OS 10.3.x, I'm pretty sure there was a working version for that OS within those two years.  ...  Or am I wrong?
