PlaneShift Lag Fix

[c0deX]

First of all, for those of you who dont know what your doing, I urge you NOT to do this simply because you will end up re-installing your PlaneShift client.  

Second of all, these settings are for 128 MB CARD USERS only, because thats all I was able to configure them for, so if you actually know what your doing as well, then configure more settings for the 16mb cards and add to this post.  

Third and final of all, I take no responsibility in screwing up your game if you did somthing from the tutorial wrong...if the info below doesnt help you, then please read my more explainable tutorial and look at my screen shots below.  

I have marked the config zip which contains my entire config dir, just replace your config dir
(c:\\program files\\planeshift\\config\\) with mine and you should be all set
(dont forget to use the unzip fix as well with the settings though)

Unzip all of your world maps into the main Planeshift dir.
(e.g. C:\\Program Files\\PlaneShift\\world)

each world should have its own folder (of course, so files wont over-write
others)
(example of my setup is below)

C:\\Program Files\\PlaneShift\\world\\dungeon
C:\\Program Files\\PlaneShift\\world\\dungeon\\cache
C:\\Program Files\\PlaneShift\\world\\dungeon\\cache\\genmesh_lm
C:\\Program Files\\PlaneShift\\world\\dungeon\\cache\\thing_lm

C:\\Program Files\\PlaneShift\\world\\hydlaa
C:\\Program Files\\PlaneShift\\world\\hydlaa\\cache
C:\\Program Files\\PlaneShift\\world\\hydlaa\\cache\\genmesh_lm
C:\\Program Files\\PlaneShift\\world\\hydlaa\\cache\\thing_lm

C:\\Program Files\\PlaneShift\\world\\podium
C:\\Program Files\\PlaneShift\\world\\podium\\cache
C:\\Program Files\\PlaneShift\\world\\podium\\cache\\spr3dnormals_0_0

Now for the models

and the weapons

---------

C:\\Program Files\\PlaneShift\\weapons

---------

Now for setting up the actuall config

---------

Planeshift.Mount.mapdir = this/world/hydlaa/
Planeshift.Mount.mapdir = this/world/dungeon/
Planeshift.Mount.mapdir = this/world/podium/
Planeshift.Mount.mapdir = this/world/temple/
Planeshift.Mount.mapdir = this/world/tower/
Planeshift.Mount.model = /this/models
Planeshift.Mount.weapon = /this/weapons
Planeshift.Connection.Server = planeshift.fragnetics.com
Planeshift.Connection.Port = 13331
; 1 = Show Frames around GUI components
Planeshift.Client.Developer.GuiFlags = 0
; number of seconds before timeout
Planeshift.Client.User.Connecttimeout = 60
Planeshift.Client.User.Persisttimeout = 3000

Hope you enjoy my examples and my fix, if you have any problems just be sure to let me know
(on here only dont bug my personal life)
I check the forums often so I should be answering any questions you may have.  

Thanks,

just keeping my post on top, dont mind me

[Caldazar]

Let me help you, after all, anything that can ease up some of lag, enabling better gameplay is good.

[Moogie]

Thanks for posting this, I hope I followed the instructions right. Would you mind if I posted a link to this in my Newbie FAQ thread under a \"How do I reduce the lag?\" question?

[Isgrimnur]

I have only got a 32Mb Graphics card so should the zip fix still work without running your config zip.

If it should then I\'ve got a problem with the PS_client causing an error in the PS_mesh.dll

I\'ve checked that I\'ve done everything correctly which I have but still no joy.

[Taibooda]

Hello,
I am new to Planeshift (I\'ve been watching the site for some time, but just recently actually installed the game) and decided to give this fix a try.
I was able to follow all the instructions without problem, but did run into a somewhat small problem.
When I try to unzip the \"dungeon.zip\" file I receive a CRC error on the file \"fence_02_01.tga\".
As expected, without that file an error occurs when attempting to run the game.
I tried re-downloading the files (all 5 parts), recombining them and re-installing PS.  I verified that the game runs as installed (although with some occasionally hefty lag), and then tried re-extracting the files.  Once again all files extracted fine except for \"dungeon.zip\".
Has anyone else experienced this or have I perhaps done something to cause this error?

Thank you in advance for any assistance with this matter.

P.S. for reference I have tried using WinRar to extract the files and also tried using a command line zip tool on Win XP.

[Isgrimnur]

Yep got that too and I think thats what may be causing the problem posted earlier when loading.

[Taibooda]

That is it, sorry I forgot to mention that.
The error that I\'m getting is from \"psmesh.dll\" and happens during the \"loading world\" stage of the game startup.
Could anyone perhaps post that single file (fence_02_01.tga) so that I could drop it into the directory and see if that solves the problem?

[ScurvySam]

Yeah old post I know

Can you upload your file there to some other server, since when I try to dl it it\'s not there.

[Iguem]

were\'d c0dex go?!?
the file isn\'t even workin
update it dude
I need your file badly

[Thardin]

C0deX. Do you mean a 128MB videocard?
