Updater won't open

[Indatica]

I've been trying to update to the newest version, but there's this one problem: the updater app simply REFUSES to open. I click on it's icon in the planeshift folder, and it appears on the dock, bouncing  up and down- but only for about a second. Then it stops, dissapears, and nothing happens. What should I do?
Oh and sorry if this is answered somewhere here, I did check the search but it didn't come up with anything that would be useful to me. I also went through the stickies... But that didn't help much either.
(Or then I just didn't check properly. If so, sorry!!)

You're not the only one with this problem. Try looking here:

Basically, you should run the updater in Terminal
Good luck!

the current updater is broken use the one in this link http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=32819.0 and run it and NO there is no not a gui so it will not show you anything unless you run it from terminal or open console.

Pandabandito, if you were playing Planeshift during the time 0.4.00, then you simply need to run the updater, however you need to run it from a terminal window.

In Finder, Navigate to Applications --> Planeshift --> Right click on 'psupdater' and click 'show package contents' --> Contents --> MacOSX --> Followed by double clicking on 'psupdater_static'.

However if you joined us and downloaded the client 0.4.01, click here and put the new updater in your Planeshift folder and perform the above steps.

It should then launch in a terminal window and update, however if you get a message: 'updaterinfo.xml is not active' simply spotlight for the file 'updaterinfo.xml' and open it in textedit. On the first line change the 'false' to 'true'.

Mind explaining what didn't work, and giving information about what client you're running and system specs?

Did you follow my instructions for opening the updater? And when did you download Planeshift?

In that case this applies.

No. You do -not- need iLife '08, you can open the file with Textedit. Right click on the file and click open with --> textedit.

And no, you do need to run the updater. It has important updates required to run.
