020 on Linux x64

[Pirx]

Hello,

some first impressions:

Anything that involves writing to a xml/config file crashes the game, like:
questnotes
keyboard-shortcuts
window-positions in the end
so no progress in that area

some textures seem gone missing

the updater downgrades (at least i get an error-message after running the updater, had to reinstall)

the player-shadows seem to look better (no more black bars all over the screen)

the sound is still failing quite often, requiring a restart

Config stuff is a bit strange, I will look into it.
Texture issues are fixed and an update will be on the updater when it is updated with the new release content.
Updater isn't updated yet, so it will downgrade.
Sound issues will hopefully be fixed next release.

Same here:
- Sounds seems okay
- GUI positions and settings still do not save
- quest notes etc. still do not save

Meanwhile could you please publish the format for the shortcuts file (including where exactly to put the file in the user's config directory; it seems the file isn't even created by the default install)? Pretty please! Assigning a few shortcuts (/loot, /dig gold) is essential to my gameplay and I am willing to edit the shortcut file manually in order to have them.

As Cebot said in FS#483, the config file crash just seems to be a permissions problem.

Then why does the problem exist as I run as su?

[Vornne]

You run ps su root? I have not been able to reproduce this problem myself since the 019 release client, I don't have a 020 release client... but yes I do have svn installs

I dunno, maybe the perms are readable/writeable by no one, have a look through your ps install and check all files in data/options/, they should all be writable by your user, or a group you are in.

[Constrabus Gegami]

  I only ran PS as root once to test if permissions was the problem.
And yes, everything is read/write.

I have the same issue, and it's definitely not a permissions problem.  I'm running an svn build on 64 bit gentoo.

I was pretty sure it wasnt a permissions problem from the start too.. but I heard in too many places that it was, so I had to double check.
Thanks for confirming.

Ok, good... could you or someone please try move your data directory to data_backup, do 'svn up data/', and see if ps does not crash? if so, I will get a binary package and see what is missing from it... just 'rm -rf data' then 'mv data_backup data' to get your settings back.

Just did that.. still crashes and GUI positions do not save.

Well, as I am unable to verify, even with a clean svn data directory with either stable or trunk... the next thing somebody could do if they can be bothered, is try compiling a clean checkout of the latest revision svn stable, without copying any data files over other than zoneinfo.xml and servers.xml, and see how it works... also the planeshift.cfg file in the root, try moving that and checking out a new one.

Just finished a complete newly compiled svn everything (PS, CEL, CS, CAL3D)
Nothing yet.

I can't compile a clean checkout...I get linker errors.  But I did copy the data from that dir to my working PS dir, rolled back servers.xml and zoneinfo.xml as per your suggestion, and it dies the same way.
