The PlasmaClient Thread

[Branan]

Two announcements to make:

• There's an updated website! check out http://plasmaclient.servegame.org
• I have a windows installer available for PlasmaClient now. It's available on the website!

Thank you all for your support so far. Hopefully with this release we're taking a big step towards

Is there an equivalent of the graphics settings tool for Linux? Or at least some documentation about which config files to edit where?

[Branan]

it will read a normal plasma graphics file in

Code: Select all

~/.config/Uru Live/Init/graphics.ini

You can copy one from CyanPlasma and edit it with PlasmaShop as-needed. Paradox is working on a nice cross-platform launcher with built-in config editors, hopefully we can switch to that soon for all platforms.

It's been a while since I've posted here, and since I know some people don't read the MOUL forums:

Major graphical improvements all around. Probably a new release at the next All Guilds' Meeting. New screenshots on the website gallery coming soon (this afternoon).

Last time I tried it complained the server "default" was not found.

[Branan]

yeah, that's a brand-new change, and of course since the "build from source" documentation is horribly incomplete it's not mentioned anywhere (macports and the upcoming updated windows installer handle it fine).

run "make default_ini" and then copy default.ini into ~/.config/Uru Live/servers/. You only have to do it once, and it means that PC now supports connecting to different servers quite easily.

[diafero]

Thanks, that did it
(I used the file from win32dist, assuming it is the same)

[Branan]

Yeah, it's the same file. Some people have trouble running 'make default_ini' on windows with libHSPlasma not being on the system path (it's needed for encrypting the file), so I added it to the repo.

PlamaClient has a (semi-)new home! http://plasmaclient.info

[Branan]

oh noes, I'm triple-posting

I'm sorry my demonstration at the All guilds Meeting didn't work correctly. Good thing we had Paradox and Rainbow around

The windows version of Plasmaclient 0.0.2 is available at http://plasmaclient.info/download.php. Mac users can upgrade through Macports, and Linux users still have to build from source.

Important Features:

• Lots of graphical improvements!
• Server connectivity. Basic avatar motion and age chat WORK. Try it out in your Neighborhood . If you need help getting a secondary account to share your same neighborhood so you can play with it, let me know and I can help
• Linking to the City (Ae'Gura) is disabled in this release. Because PlasmaClient connects to the servers now, I decided it was better to keep it isolated from such a public area until it has better support for network features - I don't want to break anything.
• All sorts of bugfixes and little changes across the entire program... too many to list
• This release still doesn't write to your vault, so it's still safe to use with your primary account/avatar.
