You need to change directory to /applications/planeshift or something along those lines yes, to do this use the command cd follow by the destination you want to move to.

I don't actually use a mac, and it's far to cold to go get the one I own out of the shed so can't give any specifics, maybe someone with a bit more of a clue will pass by this thread soon ;)

<Rux> i wish i could say that narrows it down, but the internet is one freaky place

On a Mac you can open a terminal window and then go to the application folder and drag the Planeshift application folder to the terminal window to change the terminal location to the planeshift folder.

original message for this fix is above .....

Sarva's tip is good for getting the correct command line in terminal  :flowers:

this is what i entered into terminal and the response

<my name goes here>:~ <my first name>$ /Applications/PlaneShift/pslaunch.app --args --console
-bash: /Applications/PlaneShift/pslaunch.app: is a directory
 

sorry I'm no expert but hopefully this may help someone else

thanks again for the help

And after that the updater will run? I've fiddled around in Terminal before... but my computer doesn't want to recognize '--args --console'...

you're missing the 'open'

Though I heard the mac updater was working, but Khaki would have to confirm that.

Where would the 'open' be placed? Sorry for the dumb question but one complete command line is appreciated for the ones that do not know how to work with consoles.  ;)

I did try the updater on Mac this morning and it keeps on crashing the same way as the Windows version.  ???
Have loads of fun with Planeshift!

type
open ./pslaunch.app --args --console

in a Terminal.

Of course you need to navigate to the right folder first:
Applications/Planeshift

Note, this will take some time. Don't close pslaunch manually.

After this step, run pslaunch via finder.

Edit: it worked for me. that's what i know

ok here is what I'm getting .... thanks for  the patients :whistling:

/applications/planeshift  open ./pslaunch.app --args --console
-bash: /applications/planeshift: is a directory

i tryed just using:

open ./pslaunch --args --console

the result:

open: unrecognized option `--args'
Usage: open [-e] [-t] [-f] [-W] [-n] [-g] [-h] [-b <bundle identifier>] [-a <application>] [filenames]
Help: Open opens files from a shell.
      By default, opens each file using the default application for that file. 
      If the file is in the form of a URL, the file will be opened as a URL.
Options:
      -a                Opens with the specified application.
      -b                Opens with the specified application bundle identifier.
      -e                Opens with TextEdit.
      -t                Opens with default text editor.
      -f                Reads input from standard input and opens with TextEdit.
      -W, --wait-apps   Blocks until the used applications are closed (even if they were already running).
      -n, --new         Open a new instance of the application even if one is already running.
      -g, --background  Does not bring the application to the foreground.
      -h, --header      Searches header file locations for headers matching the given filenames, and opens them.

I've tried omitting the args   and just used --console  i get the above message coming up

is the --args  using the above options?  if so is the "r" correct?

I've tried a lot of variations but no luck yet

Okay, I will see if I can explain how I did it... Open Terminal... Then you have to get to the ps directory. So type 'cd /(then the path to the PS folder)' so for me it was 'cd /users/(username)/desktop/planeshift'... Keep in mind I keep PS on my desktop... Then type in './pslaunch.app/Contents/MacOS/pslaunch_static --console' And at least for me that's how I finally managed to get the update to run...

Note if you have a terminal window open you can just drag and drop the PS application folder onto the open terminal window instead of doing the /cd command with the file path  to change to the PS file.

There's no need to use the Terminal. The new download for 0.5.1 (on the main download page) fixes all the updater issues. Please download the new installer and use that.

oh and btw, i downloaded the game from  apple.com just to make sure it wasnt dodgy. i know mac's practically dont get viruses, but just to be on the safe side. i dont see how this could be the problem though as they would know what they are doing :D

p.s some files appear to be illustrator files. and people have mentioned files i cant even find...

plz help?

cheers
