Planeshift Compiled on Ubuntu 10.10 x64 segfaults out

[ktaragorn]

Hi, we are considering using planeshift in our research project and im trying to get the server and client to work.

I have compiled client based on the compiling guide and copied art over from the installed version.
When i try to login to my server, after login -> select char-> load, it loads the screen for 1 second and crashes with a segmentation fault
This behaviour is identical when my colleague tries to join a public server as well, on ubuntu 10.04 x32
The installed clients work fine on our platforms.
If i remember correctly, soon after compiling it worked for a bit, but after map change once or twice this problem started.
The console output while starting the game, of both compiled and installed versions do not seem to differ in any significant way.
gdb shows the following backtrace

Code: [Select]

Core was generated by `./psclient'.

on a slightly different note, worldeditor is completely black for me, and i cant see anything, though console doesnt seem to have any significant errors

Can anyone help me out with this? Any Help would be appreciated
Thanks

make sure to use the shaderlist (data/shader/shaderlist.xml) from svn and not from the release client

[ktaragorn]

Oh...

Not at work to test it, will get back to you on monday, hope it works.

How come this isnt mentioned in compiling guide. It says to copy all of data/ minus data/gui.
also, if u have right to change it,
if u take stuff from release, need to change psclient.cfg to skin = elves.zip from default.zip
and in setting up server, need to do "use planeshift;" before sourcing..

tnx!! hope to have gud news on monday

[RlyDontKnow]

well, the compile guide also mentions specific revisions you should use (which are the release ones )
using HEAD is somewhat only recommendable if you know what you're doing - mostly if you want to start working on patches, testing changes, etc.

[ktaragorn]

Im sorry wat is that in reference to? I did follow the guide to the letter afaik(copy paste ftw!) are any of my issues caused by newer code?

[ktaragorn]

Its working after following ur solution, TYVM!!

[ktaragorn]

im afraid worldeditor is still completely black, and consuming 100% CPU to boot(1 core of 2)

Any help would be much appreciated

world editor is not currently being developed and/or considered in a working status.

[ktaragorn]

Oh, thats unfortunate.. how would i go about making/editing maps in that case? How is it done for the live game?

[Aiwendil]

well, the compile guide also mentions specific revisions you should use (which are the release ones )
using HEAD is somewhat only recommendable if you know what you're doing - mostly if you want to start working on patches, testing changes, etc.

The compile guild doesn't use revisions for PS already for some time now anymore...I think that was given up around 0.5 release.

[ktaragorn]

Hi, so is there any information on how i might manipulate the maps or make new ones of my own? could be very important. I dont know how to load any of the other maps in there since i dont know how to connect and which of them have spawn spots.

On a seperate note, I am running psclient on a different, server, machine and im getting the following errors

they occur at major screens during startup and also in game. This seems to add a lot of lag to the game as well, mouse movement among other things is very slow. and most models, character and otherwise seem to be blacked out. Could this be a graphics card issue? afaik drivers are uptodate, as much as they can be in linux(ubuntu 10.04 x64) and this is the graphics card

Any help would be much appreciated.

either you are using opensource drivers and those won't work use the binary package. or cg is really not executable for some reasons permissions?
did you install nvidia cg toolkit correctly?

[ktaragorn]

I reinstalled the cg toolkit, no go, wasnt able to check driver..

With regards to the world builder, can someone tell me what tool is being used now to make the maps? or atleast how to go abt using the maps other than the ones in the guide. When i try some of the others, i get spawn point not found etc.

the official nvidia package or the years old coming from debian package distrbuited in ubuntu?
blender or 3dsmax using the relative converters (i don't know if the 3dsmax converter is available, for blender it's b2cs: check crystal space site)
then you need to add the sectors in the db and the relative spawns and declare them also in the zone xml file also now maps need some particular packaging for which i'd point to xordan in crystal space.
