How to install a custom age in dirtsand/CWE?

[Locutus]

Hellos!

I installed dirtsand on a Linux server of mine, running fine, and am trying to put one of the community-made ages on it. I'm testing the one named "Odema".

I copied the files "Odema.sum", "Odema.fni", "Odema.age" and four "Odema*.prp" files to my CWE client's DAT directory. I decrypted and uploaded the .age and .fni to the Dirtsand server and restarted it.

But when I start the CWE client and log in, after the "Starting URU", I get a message "The following pages are out of date and will be deleted: Odema_*.prp".

I'm at a loss there. What to do?

You cannot use TPotS versioned plasma files with the MOUL version. You'll have to convert them, e.g. with libHSPlasma.

Thanks for the info Mystler! I tried converting two ages now, the Odema I mentioned before, and one called "Cretaceous".

After conversion, the client doesn't delete them anymore, but it crashes when I link to the age. The conversion process threw errors, might that be the reason?

It would appear that your libHSPlasma library was compiled without PhysX support, which prevents it from being able to convert those. While generally optional, that linkage is required to convert to MOUL-format PRPs containing physicals.

Additionally, you may want to try my experimental script for conversion which is what I use to prepare fan ages for Gehn, Plasma Transfusion, as it allows you to convert the entire age in one go. Just simplifies things a bit. You will still need a working libHSPlasma with PhysX support either way.

Thanks for your reply Deledrius! I'll gladly try out your script.

I got my version of libHSPlasma from here, which seems to be the official repository: http://code.google.com/p/libhsplasma/downloads/list

Unfortunately I don't have a development environment available on Windows to compile the source myself. Would you happen to know where I can get a precompiled Windows binary with PhysX support enabled?
