PS 0.3.020 ready for OSX.

[Trymm]

Planeshift 0.3.020 is now available for OSX via BitTorrent.  This release contains a universal binary which we hope will support OSX 10.4 on both ppc and x86 processors, as well as OSX 10.3.9 on ppc.

You can get the torrent file here: http://laanx.fragnetics.com/bt/PlaneShift_CBV0.3.020a.dmg.torrent

Comments to the release:
-The client will not be able to log in if you disable "Preload Models" in pssetup.
-The client pauses when it looses focus. Essentially, if you want the client to keep running also when the window does not have focus, you need to open the file psclient.cfg in a text editor, and add the following line at the end of it:
System.RunWhenNotFocused = true
-Texture compression has been DISABLED by default because it causes crashes & corruption with some graphics hardware (Intel integrated graphics especially)  If you want to enable it (for a possible performance boost..) open up data/config/r3dopengl.cfg and change the line:
Video.OpenGL.UseExtension.GL_ARB_texture_compression  = false
to
;Video.OpenGL.UseExtension.GL_ARB_texture_compression  = false
(note the leading semicolon)  If you get corruption or crashes, change it back.

Thanks to the Planeshift dev team for their support in making this release possible. Special thanks to dfryer for hints and guidance in preparing for this release!

"Let the game begin!"

Hello,
I don´t understand what Trymm means with the sentence " The client dont run when the window no have focus, what does it mean. I use an Mac G4 with 2GB RAM,  1Ghz processor, and a GeForce 4MX 64 MB Ram grahic card.
In this moment I am downloading by bittorrent the new version. When I come home this evening I will install the new version. Must I put this line, what Trymm has written in his post, at the end of the psclient.cfg ? Yes or no.

Please excuse my very simple english, but I am german, new in PS and not in exercise with programming in the programms. I am a normal user of Computers.

Thanks
and I hope, that I can join this evening in PS

he means when the window is not selected (like if you were doing something else on another window)

...I think. correct me if i'm wrong

when you have another window on top of the psclient or you are not using it but it is still up.

if your pc will allow you can run more then one app at a time

[Adrenalina]

Hi,
my mac allows it, but when I use another Programm, I am on the window of this programm not on the window of PS, what does PS then do, while I am using another programm for exampel Safari.

In general I do it so Ps and Safari at the same time. I have two monitors. One with PS and the other with Safari, also with my forum of my guild, when I get up one point in a skill, I must put it in my member profile in the guild.

Thanks

[Caarrie]

that should be no problem and nothing should happen to the game other then you seeming afk to others

[Adrenalina]

 but now I dont understand anymore what Trymm means with the windows. Which windows means he?
