you started to use ; instead of , only the last line should end with ;

Yay!
That was the one - thanks for your help and patience, Caarrie!

[Velh Krome]

Hope you dont mind me digging this old thread, but since I already posted in here..

I just have compiled the trunk sources once more, according to the same documentation mentioned above.
But this time it fails finding libcrystalspace-1.3.so:

Code: [Select]

# ./serverstart
./psserver: error while loading shared libraries: libcrystalspace-1.3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Code: [Select]

# cat serverstart
#!/bin/bash
source profile
./psserver --run=/this/autorun
And profile containing exports of both env variables, autorun all needed loadmaps.

Code: [Select]

# mlocate libcrystalspace-1.3.so
PS_compile/cs/libcrystalspace-1.3.so
PS_compile/cs/out/linuxx86/optimize/libs/libcrystalspace-1.3.so
PS_compile/cs/out/linuxx86/optimize/libs/libcrystalspace-1.3.so.resp
For any idea on where's the bug I would be grateful.

[Caarrie]

update your LD_LIBRARY path to include cs and cel

[Velh Krome]

Hey Caarrie, you replied much quicker than I would have guessed! 

Hm okay.. didnt do so before, and I sort of replaced old cs with the new one, hence I thought no new definitions were needed.
My modified profile:

Code: [Select]

#export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/planeshift_svn/planeshift/cal3d/cal3d/src/cal3d/.libs/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export CRYSTAL=.../PS_compile/cs
export CEL=.../PS_compile/cel
export CSCONFPATH=.../PS_compile/cel
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.../PS_compile/cs:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
I am not even sure if this is all correct, but it works to a certain degree:

Code: [Select]

# ./serverstart

Tue Jun 10 20:40:22 2008, error while initializing server!
For some reason I have a feeling this must be some embarrassing little thing I will have forgotten lol..
Mysql is up and running, as well I did that "mysql: use planeshift;", and even recreating it all new with "source create_all;" I gave a shot..

Thanks a lot for your great support Caarrie, perhaps you once more do have an idea?=P

EDIT:
I just found the only (?) reference to "planeshift.database.mysql" is in a file in the mysql-folder - I mindlessly copied my all my.. backed up.. sql.. files into the new one.. does that mean I need to recompile at least PS again? Would the latest dbmysql.csplugin be any different (the linked one is like my current one)?

[Caarrie]

make sure the mysql dev package is installed. then reconfigure ps and make sure it finds mysql and rebuild.

[Velh Krome]

Alright, I rebuilt PS and now it says

Code: [Select]

Tue Jun 10 22:32:42 2008, Database version mismatch: we have '1182' while we are looking for '1188'. Recreate your database using create_all.sql
Tue Jun 10 22:32:42 2008, error while initializing server!
Is there a way I still can use my old database that of course contains custom data?

[Ralleyon]

Yes, you can. Take a looksie here for the mysql data. http://planeshift.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/planeshift/trunk/src/server/database/

What you're interested in following is upgrade_schema.sql

Hey I just finished with building....one problem...no two.

1) I have no psserver.exe
2) My psclient says I'm missing crystalspace-1.4-vc9.dll

and my mysql is probably ready - the ps folder is in the data folder of C:/mysql
  please help

Thanks,
Ms.Kida

Any help is great cause I can't find the answer in the guide.

the server is a different target in the build project you should build also that. I think it was appspsserver or something like that
as for the dll not found are you sure you did build either cs and ps with the same build type? (debug dynamic with debug dynamic, release static with release static etc)

[Lanarel]

You have to add the CS directory to the path environment variable for psclient to find the CS dlls.

[kidara]

Ok got it....now next....the client says "failed to load effects" also I have psclient.exe and not psserver.exe - what do I do to get psserver.exe because it doesn't exist.

thanks for the quick response guys. 

[Raekh]

Failed to load effects - did you copy the art and the data foldera into your compilation? Easiest way to do so might be to use the one being shipped with standard installation.

Since I never compiled on Windows I am not sure about the process there. On linux however, "jam -a" during the process of compiling does provide all necessary files.

[kidara]

hmmm, I definitely have the art and data in the planeshift folder. I probably have to figure out the psserver.exe fow windows  I'm patient so no worries.

[kidara]

Ok I created my Client and server thanks for all the help. I'll be doing character editing in the morning. Please, how do I create characters? I believe it's with Cal3d so I went here http://svn.gna.org/svn/cal3d/trunk/   So how do I start? I'll also get Blender for map creation.  Thanks guys
