<br />
''The problem is:''<br />
<br />
<br />
== Problems before entering the game ==<br />
<br />
'''Installation'''<br />
<br />
If you need advice before or while installing PlaneShift, then join the PlaneShift IRC channel. <br />
<br />
Simple instructions for joining the PlaneShift IRC channel can be found here:<br />
<br />
http://www.planeshift.it/irc.html<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Permissions'''<br />
<br />
You may have to set permissions on the downloaded installation file so it will run. Do this from a command prompt, from the directory where you downloaded the installation file.<br />
<br />
Assuming the downloaded file is in a directory called: Downloads<br />
which is in your home directory, type:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
cd ~/Downloads<br />
<br />
chmod 700 PlaneShift-vn.n.n-x86.run<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
This ''chmod'' command will make the file ''readable, writeable'' and ''executable'' to you only.<br />
<br />
Then, to run the installation program, assuming you still have the same command prompt open:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
./PlaneShift-vn.n.n-x86.run<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
replace: PlaneShift-vn.n.n-x86.run<br />
<br />
with the actual file name, ''n.n.n-x86'' will need to be changed.<br />
----<br />
<br />
<br />
'''To start PlaneShift from a Linux command line'''<br />
<br />
If PlaneShift is installed in your home directory:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
~/PlaneShift/psclient<br />
</pre><br />
or <br />
<pre><br />
~/PlaneShift/pslaunch<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
If these files don't run, then they may need permissions to be set. If PlaneShift is installed in your home directory:<br />
<br />
chmod 700 ~/PlaneShift/psclient<br />
<br />
chmod 700 ~/PlaneShift/pslaunch<br />
<br />
These ''chmod'' commands will make the files ''readable, writeable'' and ''executable'' to you only.<br />
----<br />
<br />
<br />
'''To update PlaneShift from a Linux command line'''<br />
<br />
If PlaneShift is installed in your home directory:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
~/PlaneShift/pslaunch --console<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
If the updater fails with errors such as:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
Unable to get root node! Segmentation fault<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
Edit: updateservers.xml and updaterinfo.xml<br />
<br />
(found in your PlaneShift directory) so that the <mirrors> tag looks like<br />
this:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
<mirrors><br />
<mirror id="1" name="server1" url="http://194.116.72.94/update/" /><br />
</mirrors><br />
</pre><br />
<br />
and try to update again.<br />
----<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Graphics card drivers'''<br />
<br />
Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, etc, will install or offer to install the<br />
latest stable version of your graphics card driver for you.<br />
<br />
If you are using a different Linux distribution and it does not<br />
automatically install an optimised driver for your<br />
graphics card then you can install one manually.<br />
<br />
NVIDIA: http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp<br />
<br />
AMD/ATI: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx<br />
<br />
Intel: http://www.intel.com/p/en_UK/support/graphics/<br />
<br />
Each of these web sites have Linux drivers for their laptop and<br />
desktop computers' graphics cards. Documentation regarding their<br />
installation will be included with the driver.<br />
----<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Game crashes after upgrading to 0.5.9'''<br />
<br />
Edit ~/.PlaneShift/planeshift.cfg<br />
<br />
add this line: <br />
<br />
Video.OpenGL.UseExtension.GL_ARB_shader_objects = false<br />
----<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Black or grey screens'''<br />
<br />
Turning off Vertex Buffer Objects may help.<br />
<br />
If PlaneShift is installed in your home directory:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
~/PlaneShift/pslaunch<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
From the PlaneShift Launcher click: ''Settings'' then ''Graphics''<br />
<br />
Unselect the check box: Enable VBO<br />
<br />
Click: ''OK''<br />
<br />
<br />
This suggests your graphics card is not adequate for running PlaneShift.<br />
<br />
If the PlaneShift application just exits when creating a character for the first time, this is another symptom of an insufficient Graphics Processing Unit.<br />
----<br />
<br />
<br />
'''No audio'''<br />
<br />
This message may be displayed when you start PlaneShift:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
could not load plugin 'crystalspace.sndsys.renderer.null'<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
Start the PlaneShift Launcher. If PlaneShift is installed in your home directory:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />

'''Unable to connect to server'''<br />
<br />
'''1.'''<br />
The following page will inform you whether the game server is accessible.<br />
<br />
http://planeshift.teamix.org/index.php<br />
<br />
Check the ''Stats'' box for server status. <br />
<br />
If the ''Total online'' is: 0, this probably means administrators are updating software on the game server.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''2.'''<br />
If you have a firewall then you need to know that PlaneShift requires the outbound port: 7777 <br />
<br />
Then try to connect again.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''3.'''<br />
Run the updater:<br />
<br />
If PlaneShift is installed in your home directory:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
~/PlaneShift/pslaunch --console<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
Updating may take a few minutes.<br />
<br />
Then try to connect again.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''4.'''<br />
Edit servers.xml manually and replace ''planeshift.zeroping.it'' or ''planeshift.subhosting.net'' with ''planeshift.teamix.org''<br />
<br />
If PlaneShift is installed in your home directory then servers.xml will be located here:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
~/PlaneShift/data/servers.xml<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
Then try to connect again.<br />
----<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Full screen mode crashes the client'''<br />
<br />
Unfortunately full screen mode does not currently work reliably. It is recommended that you do not use full screen mode.<br />
<br />
To turn off full screen mode:<br />
<br />

<br />
<pre><br />
~/PlaneShift/pslaunch<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
Click ''Settings''<br />
<br />
Unselect ''Enable Fullscreen''<br />
<br />
Click: ''OK''<br />
<br />
== In game bugs (after loading world) ==<br />

'''Installing and reinstalling'''<br />
<br />
If you require a fresh reinstall, where all previous configuration details and files are removed, then you will need to do some manual clean up. You will need to manually delete previous configuration files.<br />
<br />
<br />
First run the PlaneShift uninstall program (Add and remove programs).<br />
<br />
<br />
'''1.'''<br />
Simplest way to find all PlaneShift files is to press the F3 key on your keyboard. The Windows Find dialog will be displayed.<br />
<br />
From here you can inform Windows which hard drives to search and what to search for so in the search field, enter: <br />
<pre><br />
PlaneShift<br />
</pre><br />
Then, from Find's search results, delete all directories/folders called PlaneShift.<br />
<br />
Take care not to delete the installation file you downloaded: PlaneShift-vn.n.n.exe<br />
<br />
You are now ready for a fresh install.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''2.''' <br />
Slightly more technical way is to run the PlaneShift uninstall program (Add and remove programs), then find your Windows Application Data directory/folder.<br />
<br />
Open the file manager (explorer) and in the Address field type: <br />
<pre><br />
%AppData%<br />
</pre><br />
followed by the enter key on your keyboard.<br />
<br />
This will open your 'Application Data' folder. For example:<br />
<pre><br />
c:\Documents and Settings\aUser\Application Data\<br />
</pre><br />
In there you will find the PlaneShift configuration and logs directory. <br />
<br />
Either delete it or rename it to: PlaneShift-old<br />
<br />
You are now ready for a fresh install.<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
<br />
'''To update PlaneShift'''<br />
<br />
From the Windows Start menu > PlaneShift > PlaneShift<br />
<br />
If an update is available, the PlaneShift Launcher will prompt<br />
you. Select ''Yes'' from the prompt to update. <br />
<br />
Updating may take a few minutes.<br />
<br />
The updater can also be run from the command line:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
pslaunch.exe --console<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Graphics card drivers'''<br />
<br />
Download the latest driver from the graphics card manufacturer's web<br />
site and install it.<br />
<br />
NVIDIA: http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp<br />
<br />
AMD/ATI: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx<br />
<br />
Intel: http://www.intel.com/p/en_UK/support/graphics/<br />
<br />
<br />
Make sure Windows is using the correct driver. Windows has its own<br />
set of drivers which are sometimes set as factory defaults, even<br />
when the manufacturer's drivers are available. To ensure you are<br />
using the correct driver for your graphics card, see:<br />

'''Intel graphics chips on Windows'''<br />
<br />
There is an abundance of 3D gaming and OpenGL problems on Windows, related to Intel's own Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), which is found on some laptops and PC motherboards. The problem is related to their own Windows' drivers. It is possible that Intel will improve the quality of these graphics drivers over time so it is important to check their web site regularly for the latest drivers.<br />
<br />
Intel: http://www.intel.com/p/en_UK/support/graphics/<br />
<br />
Symptoms:<br />
<br />
* Ground stretches and smears.<br />
<br />
* Maps are broken.<br />
<br />
* Crashing during character creation.<br />
<br />
* Objects and maps flicker.<br />
<br />
(Possible) workaround:<br />
<br />
Install Xubuntu Linux alongside your Windows installation. <br />
<br />
Linux is a free Operating System that can run alongside a Windows installation by way of dual booting and uses independent (not Intel's) graphics drivers. A minimum of ten gigabytes of disk space will be required for Xubuntu and the Linux version of PlaneShift.<br />
<br />
http://xubuntu.org/<br />
<br />

<hr />
<div>Welcome to the Troubleshooting Guide for the Mac OSX. Have a seat, a mug of cocoa and relax. You're in good hands!<br />
<br />
If there's anything critical we've missed, please tell us in the discussions page - and bear in mind that this page is relatively new!<br />
<br />
==Tips==<br />
* Ensure you have created an account on the server. [http://209.59.234.149/register/ You can do that here].<br />
* For those who are annoyed when Planeshift pauses whenever it loses focus, here's a quick fix for you:<br />
*# Open the file psclient.cfg with TextEdit (it's in <Home directory>/Library/Application Support/Planeshift/psclient.cfg).<br />
*# Append the following line to the end of the file: <br><code> System.RunWhenNotFocused = true</code><br />
*# Save and close. Play Planeshift.<br />
* For some people, Planeshift only works if you are the primary administrator. The reason for this is not entirely understood. If you're having problems, try logging in as the primary admin if possible.<br />
<br />
==Troubleshooting==<br />
===Updater lacks Permissions===<br />
'''Q''' : When trying to launch the game the picture with the arcane magic comes up, the bar fills... and then it freezes. So I went into the updater and it says "an update is available", but I don't have the correct permissions to continue.<br />
<br />
'''A''' : First, ensure you've installed it corectly (see Installation, below) and that you're not trying to run the game nor its updater off the downloaded .dmg. The applications must be run off your Hard Drive.<br />
<br />
Second, right-click on both ''psclient'' and ''pslaunch'', select "get info". Check the bottom part of the dialogue(s) that appear and, under "Sharing & Permissions" make sure that both Admin and yourself can 'read & write'. If not, change it so you can (you may need an Admin password). Close and try to update again.<br />
<br />
If that still does not work, close all applications (except Finder, obviously) and then go to Utilities (subfolder of Applications) and double-click "Disk Utility". Select your system hard-drive from the left-hand side, and then press "Repair Disk Permissions". This will set all permissions back to what OSX thinks they ''should'' be. Once complete, you may need to repeat the "Second, right-click..." step above.<br />
<br />
If it still doesn't work, seek further help.<br />
<br />
===Server Unreachable===<br />
If you are having trouble getting onto the server (i.e. "Server unreachable") then please follow the following steps:<br />
# Ensure that you are connected to the internet (just to be on the safe side ;) ).<br />
# Ensure you're connecting to the right server.<br />
#* As of 11th December 2011, the Non-RP server ''Ezpcusa'' is [http://www.hydlaaplaza.com/smf/index.php?topic=40495.0 offline due to lack of use].<br />
#* In February 2012, PlaneShift [http://www.hydlaaplaza.com/smf/index.php?topic=40713.0 relocated its main server] from ''Zero Ping'' to ''Subhosting.net''.<br />
#* In June 2013, PlaneShift [http://www.hydlaaplaza.com/smf/index.php?topic=41295.0 relocated its main server] from ''Subhosting.net'' to ''Teamix GmbH''.<br />
# Ensure that the server is up: [http://planeshift.teamix.org/ go here] and look at the ''Stats'' on the left side of the screen. If the number of ''Total Online'' is 0 (or there is no number listed) or if the ''Report Time'' is more than a minute or so different from the ''Time'', then the server is down and you will be unable to connect. Try again in a few minutes.<br />
# Ensure that you are not behind a hardware or software firewall, or, if you are, that you have allowed incoming traffic on port 7777. Note that if you are on a college campus, school campus, or at an office, you will probably be behind a firewall; if you are, your only option is to (politely) ask your network administrator to open port 7777 for incoming traffic.<br />
# If it still won't work, open your Planeshift folder, open the "data" folder, and open "servers.xml" (/Applications/PlaneShift/data/servers.xml) in TextEdit (click on servers.xml and drag it to /Applications/TextEdit(.app) ). Ensure that the port for the server is set to 7777 (if not, change it).<br />
It should end up looking something like this (there may be a description as well):<br />
<serverlist><br />
<server name="Laanx Server (Main)" ip="planeshift.teamix.org" port="7777"/><br />
</serverlist><br />
<br />
===Still stuck?===<br />
* For some basic fixes and known bugs, see [http://www.hydlaaplaza.com/smf/index.php?topic=34250.0 this thread].<br />
* If you're having trouble on an old Mac with OS 10.4.x (Tiger), take a look at [http://www.hydlaaplaza.com/smf/index.php?topic=32477.0|this thread].<br />
* For help applying basic fixes and other utilities, please visit [http://planeshift.caarrie.org/ this site].<br />
* If you have a MacBook running Leopard [10.5] AND you have an intel GMA 3100 graphics card and you have issues loading some maps, make sure texture downsampling is at 1/2 or further to the right.<br />

==Guide to installing PlaneShift on Mac OSX==<br />
<br />
You are advised to use the Torrent Download as this places less strain on the Servers. This does however require a torrent tracker. If you do not have one, there is one available for download just above the [http://www.planeshift.it/download.html torrent links]. Alternatively you may use the direct link.<br />
<br />
===Using the Torrent Link===<br />
# Go to the [http://www.planeshift.it/download.html Download page] (it may help to ctrl-click and open this in a new tab)<br />
# Scroll a little way down to the uTorrent links<br />
# Click on ''PlaneShift-v0.5.8.dmg torrent'' and download.<br />
# Once downloaded, open the file ''PlaneShift-v0.5.8.dmg.torrent'' in your favourite torrent Tracker.<br />
# Begin the Torrent<br />
# If you have not done so already, this would be an excellent time to create your user account on the server. (see Tips)<br />
# Once the torrent has completed, you should now have a file called ''PlaneShift-v0.5.8.dmg''<br />
# Follow the 'installation' instructions below<br />
<br />
===Using the Direct Link===<br />
# Go to the [http://www.planeshift.it/download.html#mac Direct Download] links. (it may help to ctrl-click and open this in a new tab)<br />
# Choose your link, and download (about 1GB of data).<br />
# If you have not done so already, this would be an excellent time to create your user account on the server. (see Tips)<br />
# Once downloaded you should now have a file called ''PlaneShift-v0.5.8.dmg''<br />
# Follow the 'installation' instructions below<br />
<br />
===Installing the Game===<br />
# Double-click the file ''PlaneShift-v0.5.8.dmg'' (if you downloaded the direct link with Safari, it may have already opened)<br />
# Select the folder inside entitled ''Planeshift''<br />
# Drag it to your Applications folder.<br />
# Once transferred, open the folder you just moved and double-click ''pslaunch(.app)''.<br />
# The game should now update itself, synching with the server. This may take some time.<br />
# Once the game has updated, close the updater and double-click ''psclient(.app)''<br />
# Enjoy! Any problems, please see troubleshooting.<br />

==For Those Who Know What They Are Doing==<br />
<br />
====Launching Planeshift with Arguments====<br />
I have brought back PSClientCMD to help Planeshifters that would like to run Planeshift with special arguments but don't want to launch it from the command line, or dabble in applescript. There is basically a two-step setup procedure which I've elongated to six steps to make it easy for anyone to use.<br />
<br />
The steps required to use PSClientCMD are as follows:<br />
# Download the application: [http://www.world-of-cha0s.hostrocket.com/PSUpdater/PSClientCMD.jar PSClientCMD.jar] (2 k)<br />
# Move the application into your PlaneShift folder.<br />
# Open ''TextEdit'' (usually in /Applications). Create a new document if one is not already open (from the "File" menu, select "New"). Pull down the "Format" menu. If the option "Make Plain Text" is available, select it. If the option instead reads "Make Rich Text" then '''do nothing'''.<br />
# Type any arguments you want to send to PlaneShift when it runs. Include a dash ("-") before each argument and separate each argument with a space (" "). Do '''not''' enclose the arguments in quotes. All the arguments must be on one line (line wrapping is ok; just don't press the return or enter key).<br />
# Save the file in your Planeshift folder as ''PSClientCMDlist.txt'' (a plain text document). This '''exact''' name must be used.<br />
# Double-click ''PSClientCMD.jar'' whenever you want to run PlaneShift. The arguments will be passed when the client launches.<br />
<br />
You can get a list of available arguments by running psclient with "-help" as an argument. Note that this list is not exhaustive: some options exist that are not listed. I've copied the current list here:<br />
Options for MacOS X 2D graphics drivers:<br />
-screen=<num> Screen number to display on (default=0)<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Options for Crystal Space 2D driver for MacOS/X (OpenGL):<br />
-depth=<val> Display depth (32)<br />
-[no]fs Fullscreen if available (no) <br />
-mode=<val> Window size or resolution (1280x854)<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Options for Crystal Space 3D Engine:<br />
-fov=<val> Field of Vision (0)<br />
-renderloop=<val> Override the default render loop ()<br />
&nbsp;<br />
General options:<br />
-help this help<br />
-video=<a> the 3D rendering driver (opengl, software, ...)<br />
-canvas=<a> the 2D canvas driver (asciiart, x2d, ...)<br />
-plugin=<a> load the plugin after all others<br />
-verbose be more verbose; print better diagnostic messages<br />

==Guide to installing PlaneShift on Mac OSX==<br />
<br />
You are advised to use the Torrent Download as this places less strain on the Servers. This does however require a torrent tracker. If you do not have one, there is one available for download just above the [http://www.planeshift.it/download.html torrent links]. Alternatively you may use the direct link.<br />
<br />
===Using the Torrent Link===<br />
# Go to the [http://www.planeshift.it/download.html Download page] (it may help to ctrl-click and open this in a new tab)<br />
# Scroll a little way down to the uTorrent links<br />
# Click on ''PlaneShift-v0.5.8.dmg torrent'' and download.<br />
# Once downloaded, open the file ''PlaneShift-v0.5.8.dmg.torrent'' in your favourite torrent Tracker.<br />
# Begin the Torrent<br />
# If you have not done so already, this would be an excellent time to create your user account on the server. (see Tips)<br />
# Once the torrent has completed, you should now have a file called ''PlaneShift-v0.5.8.dmg''<br />
# Follow the 'installation' instructions below<br />
<br />
===Using the Direct Link===<br />
# Go to the [http://www.planeshift.it/download.html#mac Direct Download] links. (it may help to ctrl-click and open this in a new tab)<br />
# Choose your link, and download (about 1GB of data).<br />
# If you have not done so already, this would be an excellent time to create your user account on the server. (see Tips)<br />
# Once downloaded you should now have a file called ''PlaneShift-v0.5.8.dmg''<br />
# Follow the 'installation' instructions below<br />
<br />
===Installing the Game===<br />
# Double-click the file ''PlaneShift-v0.5.8.dmg'' (if you downloaded the direct link with Safari, it may have already opened)<br />
# Select the folder inside entitled ''Planeshift''<br />
# Drag it to your Applications folder.<br />
# Once transferred, open the folder you just moved and double-click ''pslaunch(.app)''.<br />
# The game should now update itself, synching with the server. This may take some time.<br />
# Once the game has updated, close the updater and double-click ''psclient(.app)''<br />
# Enjoy! Any problems, please see troubleshooting.<br />
<br />
<br />
==For Those Who Know What They Are Doing==<br />
<br />
====Launching Planeshift with Arguments====<br />
I ([[User:Talad|Talad]]) have brought back PSClientCMD to help Planeshifters that would like to run Planeshift with special arguments but don't want to launch it from the command line, or dabble in applescript. There is basically a two-step setup procedure which I've elongated to six steps to make it easy for anyone to use.<br />
<br />
The steps required to use PSClientCMD are as follows:<br />
# Download the application: [http://www.world-of-cha0s.hostrocket.com/PSUpdater/PSClientCMD.jar PSClientCMD.jar] (2 k)<br />
# Move the application into your PlaneShift folder.<br />
# Open ''TextEdit'' (usually in /Applications). Create a new document if one is not already open (from the "File" menu, select "New"). Pull down the "Format" menu. If the option "Make Plain Text" is available, select it. If the option instead reads "Make Rich Text" then '''do nothing'''.<br />
# Type any arguments you want to send to PlaneShift when it runs. Include a dash ("-") before each argument and separate each argument with a space (" "). Do '''not''' enclose the arguments in quotes. All the arguments must be on one line (line wrapping is ok; just don't press the return or enter key).<br />
# Save the file in your Planeshift folder as ''PSClientCMDlist.txt'' (a plain text document). This '''exact''' name must be used.<br />
# Double-click ''PSClientCMD.jar'' whenever you want to run PlaneShift. The arguments will be passed when the client launches.<br />
<br />
You can get a list of available arguments by running psclient with "-help" as an argument. Note that this list is not exhaustive: some options exist that are not listed. I've copied the current list here:<br />
Options for MacOS X 2D graphics drivers:<br />
-screen=<num> Screen number to display on (default=0)<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Options for Crystal Space 2D driver for MacOS/X (OpenGL):<br />
-depth=<val> Display depth (32)<br />
-[no]fs Fullscreen if available (no) <br />
-mode=<val> Window size or resolution (1280x854)<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Options for Crystal Space 3D Engine:<br />
-fov=<val> Field of Vision (0)<br />
-renderloop=<val> Override the default render loop ()<br />
&nbsp;<br />
General options:<br />
-help this help<br />
-video=<a> the 3D rendering driver (opengl, software, ...)<br />
-canvas=<a> the 2D canvas driver (asciiart, x2d, ...)<br />
-plugin=<a> load the plugin after all others<br />
-verbose be more verbose; print better diagnostic messages<br />

The Hammer<br />
<br />
The Hammer can be seen as a weapon, representing the strength and power of a Hammerwielder. It can be seen as a smithing tool, representing the crafting and engineering skills of Stonebreakers. It is believed that this is the reason why the hammer has been chosen as a symbol of the alliance that was founded between the races of Hammerwielder and Stonebreaker in the past.<br />
<br />
The close friendship between these races could only be seen between dwarfs, they would rally to the help of another if trouble had shown its ugly head, may it be famine, drought or even war. This friendship and help allowed the races to form an alliance. This alliance became know as The Way of the Hammer.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===The Alliance of the Dwarfs===<br />
The alliance of the dwarves was a vow by all dwarfs old and young to do their part and help all of their brothers and sisters if times of hardship fell. This alliance grew stronger through the bonds of marriage, births and great friendship. The Way of the Hammer became the way of the dwarf’s livelihood. The alliances would help train the dwarves clans in all of the arts known to the dwarfs. The arts of mining, crafting, leadership and battle made the dwarfs a great and powerful race in the lands of Yliakum. This would mean a bright future to the dwarfs and their children.<br />
<br />
The Alliance also contributed to the victory gained in the dwarven wars.<br />
<br />
As the towns in Yliakum grew the dwarfs were attracted to the towns and many lost their bonds to the dwarven traditions and values, even to a point that the alliance was in danger of being forgotten. The dwarfs decided it would be best to reorganize the alliance to suit their new life in the city. A guild was formed where all dwarfs were asked to choose a way to keep the arts, traditions, and talents alive, and by doing so to offer an alternative life style that includes to be a good citizen and servant to the Octarchs while staying a proud dwarf in the same time.<br />
<br />
The guild would elect a leader who would carry the hammer. The guild leader would give new dwarves a path of their choice and provide leadership for them to master this art.<br />
<br />
===The Birth of The Way of the Hammer===<br />
The guild became strong and grew with great pride…….the dwarfs' strongest asset. With this great pride the dwarfs prospered and lived with great strengths in the lands, with the many paths and skills becoming strong and powerful once again.<br />
<br />
===The future===<br />
Well that is up to all the dwarfs of these lands. Together we can grow strong and show the great pride all dwarfs have in our mighty race. Together we can provide protection, strength, friendship and knowledge….Together we can prosper…<br />
<br />
The Way of the Hammer is a dwarven guild.<br />

<br />
If someone offers you a hand, do you take it literally?<br />
<br />
When you walk past a group, do they make snide remarks and start pulling out their weapons.<br />
<br />
Have you ever woken up in an unfamiliar location with someone else's blood on you, and couldn't remember why?<br />
<br />
If you find following the laws of society confusing or boring, and are labelled a misfit, a freak, obnoxious, or a "stinking pile of trepor dung", then you are in luck: The Elite Reign is recruiting. Come join the guild that will have everyone talking, where we will live up to the reputation that has been foisted upon us by the tired mediocrity of the majority.<br />
<br />
Welcome to the new culture, where odditiy is an obligation and normalcy is not allowed. Where you will have fun, AND probably die trying. Whether you are a fighter, a (shady) tradesman, a (mis)adventurer, or an entertainer (even if you are the only one to find things entertaining), there's room for every weirdo in Yliakum.<br />
<br />
We're the guild that puts the basement in debasement, the own in clowning around, and the rude in shrewd. You may not like us, but you are going to LOVE us.<br />
<br />
After a week's probationary period to ensure your insanity, you are made a full member, and can begin recruiting other dorks right away. Guild advancement follows one of four tracks, and to appease flibbertigibbets, you can switch tracks at any time with no penalty.<br />
<br />
The Elite Reign are loyal and helpful to its members, 'cause we ain't got no one else.<br />
<br />
'''Chat up an Elite Reign member today for the [especially OOC] details.'''<br />
<br />
==Structure==<br />
===The Ranks===<br />
These are subject to change. Current members are 'grandfathered' into their current rank.<br />
<br />
====Recruit====<br />
A new member is a recruit for one week. During that time he/she should join our forums, and log into their MyPlane account and open the permissions so that the rest of the guild can see their levels.<br />
<br />
====Time Out====<br />
Time Out is for those "bad" players that need a break. This is OOC bad, IC bad is good. It's good to be bad.<br />
<br />
====Legionnaire====<br />
From Legionnaire, to increase your guild level further, you need to complete one of the requirements in any of the four tracks (see below). These tracks are designed with the general types of players in mind, and one should suit you, though you are free to switch tracks with no penalty, so long as you complete the requirements for the next rank in the new track.<br />

<br />
The Kore Irka-kor is a fighter clan (not guild, though we use the guild mechanics) with a focus on RP and fairness to all players we encounter.<br />
<br />
The Kore Irka-kor translates to the Kore Flame Clan. We are a sub-clan of the Kore Pack (the white tiger skin pack). Kore enkis can and will rank further than non-Kore enkis. That said there are two special ranks that can be attained no matter what the players race (even non-Enkidukai). These ranks are Thilyba (for female partners/wives of Kore Ylera and higher members) and Tabei Inu Jhu Kor (for those brought into the clan as honorary members, either for short-term assistance in a conflict, proven martial prowess and service to the guild martially over a long period of time, or for a great service/sacrifice martially for the Enkidukai people).<br />
<br />
The Kore Irka Clan is in place only for the good of the Enkidukai people. Any member of the Kore Irka Clan is required to help any Enkidukai that genuinely requires lawful assistance. They are to obey the laws of the Octarchy unless declared specifically otherwise by the Nekaduky'a (a rare event, but maybe the odd assassination for RP here or there, etc.). Kore Irka members are NOT in any sworn to protect any non-Enkidukai citizens (I'm not biting off more than I can chew). We are here for the Enkidukai. That said, a Kore Irka member must NEVER commit wrongs against non-Enkidukai. Please contact me if a member does, and I will take both sides of the story and discuss appropriate punishment with my council if necessary.<br />
<br />
==Ranks==<br />
'''Rank One : Dhavathu Thilha''' (''Young Person''). A new unproven member. This member has sworn to the Oaths of Kore and completed the Initiation of Flame. Civilian (non-Kore) initiates do not perform the sacred ceremony. They are encouraged to find a career path as quickly as possible.<br />
<br />
'''Rank Two : Tlanna''' (''Slave/Serf/Peasant''). This person is for all intents and purposes a bonded servant. They are free to leave this duty at any time, however if done without the correct permission they will be asked to leave the Clan. The role of this rank is not so much to be a slave (that is simply the straight translation), but rather as a servant of the Clan. Sometimes non-Enkidukai characters may join the clan to be a servant to one of the members, in repayment for a great deed. Servants are always well-paid and well looked after in the Clan. The Clan has many guidelines on their treatment.<br />
<br />
'''Rank Three : Zhagh Mantharor''' (''Mage's Apprentice''). This member has been taken under the wing of a guild-mage as their personal apprentice. It is a mutually beneficial relationship, the apprentice performs errands and tasks for the mage, who in return teaches him about magic. I will be encouraging the 'master' of each apprentice to attain extra glyphs, and assign RP tasks of equal difficulty to the quest(s) used to attain each glyph, to the Mantharor, and also the mage will be the one who teaches the apprentice different combinations to make spells and so on.<br />
<br />
'''Rank Four : Nanol''' (''Freeman''). This citizen is non-bonded and is not a servant. They are free to pursue their own career. Typical peasant rank.<br />
<br />
'''Rank Five : Vinkalor''' (''Fighter''). These members are like a militia, there is no skill level expectation in this rank, it is for any member who wishes to be a full time fighter (and not as a servant to an individual). Kore fighters begin their training in this rank. Note: if the clan is called to war, all members are expected to be capable of fighting to a modest degree.<br />
<br />
'''Rank Six : Kore Finkyli''' (''Kore Warrior''). This rank is sacred, and the members of it are professional fighters, with many side-duties and ceremonies. To attain this rank, a Kore character must max Agility, Endurance, and Strength, and attain a total of 80 Weapon+Armour levels trained (so 40 Sword + 40 Heavy Armour, or 50/30, etc.) there must be at least 20 in an armour, and 30 in one weapon. Kore Finkyli train religiously, and often fight each other as practice. Their life revolves around perfecting their skill with a weapon.<br />
<br />
'''Rank Seven : Namis Ylol''' (''Masters of the Citizens/Civilians Council''). These citizens have shown to be diligent and trustworthy, and also to have good skill in the career of their choice. One Master of each profession is chosen to be on this council (some are RP professions, such as writing, mercantile, etc.). Each Master has a certain amount of administrative ability over those in his career line. The Council as a whole also have the ability to make certain decisions in economic affairs. This the highest rank a non-Kore can get in the clan. The Council also regularly meets with the Kore Manthanol Council to discuss relevant issues, where the Namis Ylol can advise, but have no power to decide. They can invite new non-Kore to the guild.<br />
<br />
'''Rank Eight : Kore Manthanol''' (''Kore Elder/Master Council''). This rank is my personal advisory Senate. they advise the Nekaduky'a on any decision I require advice on (most of them), and also play a heavy role in administration of the guild. They can invite new Kore members and perform the sacred Initiation of the Flame. Also, in order for our clan to go to war, the Manthanol Council must agree to it via a majority vote. To attain this rank, a character must have maxed Agility, Endurance and Strength, and 100 in a Weapon and Armour, or be a member of the Nekaduky'as RP family. Also good RP is required as the main factor in promotion in this guild.<br />
<br />
'''Rank Nine : Nekaduky'a''' (''Master''). Chief Elder, a role passed down from one Nekaduky'a to the next, selected upon deathbed. In the rare case of permanent death on the battlefield, the Council will elect one of themselves to run the clan.<br />
<br />
Our fighting focus is not a PLer type focus. There will be many RP events and ceremonies involving the clan and this focus, from our initiations to well RP'ed guild wars. Also, our treatment of Kore Finkyli and Manthanol as superior is IC only. The Guild Chat is open OOC and we all are treated equally as players, although the Manthanol and Namis Ylol Councils get more say as they are the most trusted members of the guild.<br />
<br />
===A note about language and Settings===<br />
The rank names are based on the [[Enkidukai Language]] in this wiki. If the 'official' Enkien language is changed, the Enkien names in the clan will change. According to the wiki, the Kore sector of Ojaveda is the military sector. As you can see in Ojaveda, Akkaio-Pack NPC Enkis are merchants (Jirosh, Toda, Phanejor). Therefore I <small>[Akkaido Kivikar, original author]</small> assume that each Pack has a role in Enkidukai society (as is heavily implied.) Therefore, I have taken Kore to be the military clan, and have set my guild to follow that role in Enkidukai society. I acknowledge outliers (individuals of a Pack that choose a separate profession) and as such have adjusted my ranking system to allow for members from all Packs. Should any of the Settings information surrounding Enkidukai society change enough to make my guild no longer fit Settings as it is publicly known, I will change the Kore Irka Clan to suit as much as I can. The Oaths of Kore are a Kore Irka specific oath, that sums up as “I will protect and help Enkidukai and be a good citizen, and strive to reach my goals.”<br />

<br />
The Adani Order is a council-led guild that is dedicated to the defence of peace, and the respect of all life, in any form. The Adani Order serves the people of Yliakum, for the good of Yliakum, using their abilities and strengths to serve as the guardians within the Dome. Adani serve others, rather than rule over them, for the good of the people as a whole, and for the necessary continuation of peace and justice. Adani are teachers, protectors, negotiators, servants, and defenders, no member of the Order ever uses their powers for their own gain, or to harm an innocent being. The Adani welcome anyone who wishes to join their ranks, all that is required to join is a desire to learn, and to be instructed in the teachings of the Order.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
As long as Yliakum has been ruled by the Octarchy, the Adani Order has co-existed alongside the people of Yliakum, as much a part of the people as they are separate, excluded from normal life by their heightened abilities and grave responsibilities. The first Master of the Order, Solran Adani, was a master fighter, skilled with all manners of weapons. After a life of fighting and adventuring all across Yliakum, Solran discovered the need for guardians against the constant advancement of evil and injustice across the land. Working in conjunction with the young Octarchy, Solran started a school for his like-minded followers, named the Adani Order. Solran and his friends sought to instruct his followers in the art of combat, and negotiation. Adani strove to show his pupils the need for defenders of peace and justice in Yliakum, and trained them to serve as these guardians. As the first Apprentices in the Order advanced in age and experience, their power and influence in the world around them became clear, and Solran saw the need to establish the Order as a permanent part of the land of Yliakum. Before he died, Adani stepped down as Master of the Order, and passed on his sword to his successor. The Order continued to serve as the guarding force against evil and corruption throughout the ages, surviving and continuing to the present day, where Solran's sabre continues to be wielded by the current Master of the Order. The ancient teachings of the Adani continue to be passed on to their Apprentices, and the Adani still serve as trusted and honourable guardians of light and justice in Yliakum.<br />
<br />
The teachings of the Order are eternal and universal. Many of the current Order members have turned to this path, after experiencing firsthand the pain and suffering caused by injustice and cruelty, as both victims and oppressors. The ever-present principle of respect to all, as well as the goals of striving to protect those near and precious are the basis of the reformations that strength and guide the Order members. <br />
<br />
==Organization==<br />
The Order is organized by the ancient concept of master and apprentice, and the guild is divided into two main paths: that of the fighter, and that of the negotiator. The Adani Order is overseen by the Adani Council, and the Council is led by the Master of the Order. The Master of the Order is, in nearly all respects, simply another member of the Adani Council, he or she has no additional powers other than the task of organizing and directing the Adani Council, which is the ruling authority of the guild. The Adani Council approves petitions for apprenticeship, administrates over any guild disputes, and votes on any major guild decisions. All new members begin at the Initiate ranking, where they are given a more hands-on experience into what their time in the Adani Order will be like. If deemed a good fit for the guild, an individual at the Initiate Rank will then be promoted into the true ranks of the Adani Order, beginning with the rank of Mantharor. Enkien for learner, Mantharors receive basic training and instruction at the hands of the senior members in the Order. At the Mantharor rank, members begin to choose which path that they will follow in the Order, and once that path is chosen, a senior member, either Ambassador or Master, or rarely, a Knight or Journeyman, will take that Mantharor as their personal Apprentice. The Apprentice begins the long path of training and fighting alongside their Master. Once an Apprentice is deemed worthy of advancing by their Master, then the Master will present his or her Apprentice to the Adani Council. The Order recognizes that not all individuals are suited for combat, nor are all capable of delicate negotiations. Therefore, there are two main paths established, that of the Knight, a fighters's calling, and that of the Ambassador, the diplomatic corps. At the time of presentation to the Council, the Master and Apprentice will choose the appropriate path to be followed. The path of the negotiator is culminated in the rank of Adani Ambassador, and that of the fighter leads to the rank of Adani Master. Adani Ambassadors have the task of representing the Adani Council to the people, Octarchy, and to other guilds that they may be negotiating with. Adani Masters are tasked with being the main teachers in the guild, and the training of Mantharors, as well as defence of the Order, is their responsibility. All members of the Order are taught to respect each other, and to love one another, as indeed they love and care for themselves.<br />

To attain this rank, a character must have maxed Agility, Endurance and Strength, and 100 in a Weapon and Armour, or be a member of the Nekaduky'as RP family. Also good RP is required as the main factor in promotion in this guild.<br />
<br />
'''Rank Nine : Nekaduky'a''' (''Master''). Chief Elder, a role passed down from one Nekaduky'a to the next, selected upon deathbed. In the rare case of permanent death on the battlefield, the Council will elect one of themselves to run the clan.<br />
<br />
Our fighting focus is not a PLer type focus. There will be many RP events and ceremonies involving the clan and this focus, from our initiations to well RP'ed guild wars. Also, our treatment of Kore Finkyli and Manthanol as superior is IC only. The Guild Chat is open OOC and we all are treated equally as players, although the Manthanol and Namis Ylol Councils get more say as they are the most trusted members of the guild.<br />
<br />
===A note about language and Settings===<br />
The rank names are based on the Enkien Language in this wiki. If the 'official' Enkien language is changed, the Enkien names in the clan will change. According to the wiki, the Kore sector of Ojaveda is the military sector. As you can see in Ojaveda, Akkaio-Pack NPC Enkis are merchants (Jirosh, Toda, Phanejor). Therefore I <small>[Akkaido Kivikar, original author]</small> assume that each Pack has a role in Enkidukai society (as is heavily implied.) Therefore, I have taken Kore to be the military clan, and have set my guild to follow that role in Enkidukai society. I acknowledge outliers (individuals of a Pack that choose a seperate profession) and as such have adjusted my ranking system to allow for members from all Packs. Should any of the Settings information surrounding Enkidukai society change enough to make my guild no longer fit Settings as it is publicly known, I will change the Kore Irka Clan to suit as much as I can. The Oaths of Kore are a Kore Irka specific oath, that sums up as “I will protect and help Enkidukai and be a good citizen, and strive to reach my goals.”<br />

==Opalescence...==<br />
...seeks to prove that an ancient proverb about a magical axe is true... clear sight and pure enlightenment can be achieved. Some say this may not be possible without finding the axe, and the code that unlocks its mysteries. While we seek the axe we work to our own enlightenment through valiant citizenry and merchanting fairly to support the mission... but mostly working with a focus for all members on magical training toward mage expertise and knowledge.<br />
<br />
'''Mission:''' find the magical axe, protect it and teach others about enlightenment of self and true sight.<br />
<br />
Some say the axe is named "Opal-eyed Axe of the Pterosaur" some say is named "Platinum Steel Axe of True Sight and Enlightenment." The translation is difficult to be certain of as it seems a dialect from the ages before the known existence of the separate Hammerwielder and Stonebreaker clans.<br />
<br />
Beginners in our mission are ranked Opalescent. New energy is welcomed. All guild members are equal in the rights of votes and input to the mission. Each new member is given a mission with which to prove themselves toward their magical strengths and personal enlightenment. Once passing this test, will be promoted to Bright Opalescent.

The Explorers Guild is a gathering of people from all over [[Yliakum]] who love to seek out new and hidden places, to reach new heights and depths—people who desire to travel and see every detail of our world. We stand together to ensure the freedom of this journey, for each other and for all those living with a true spirit of exploration. The solitary soul can find shelter with our Guild, yet there is friendship and fun for those who seek it, and if you are ever lost or need a guide, look no further than the Explorers Guild.<br />
<br />
In short, ''we’re here to see the world and have a blast doing it — together!''<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The Explorers Guild is one of the oldest active guilds in Yliakum. It was founded on May 11, 2003 by Havena Tanuviel. After Havena left for the ultimate exploration adventure, to reach the surface, Nilaya Kaeli led the guild until 2007 when she turned leadership over to Mordaan Thakkar.<br />
<br />
The Explorers Guild is a true neutral guild, not only in alignment but also with regards to all other guilds in the realms of PlaneShift. <br />
<br />
==Politics==<br />
Our wish is simply to explore these lands freely, without being swept up in the latest quarrels and wars. We are fully neutral—no official allies nor enemies. We never directly interfere in the matters of other guilds. Any villain who would stand in our way will face not only our own passion, but the anger of many who recognize and honour our way.<br />
<br />
==Folds==<br />
The Guild is divided into six "folds," each with its own goals, values, and interests. Plus new members start out as Wanderers until they complete a series of tasks and earn full membership.<br />
<br />
Fold members share a particular focus within our common bond of exploring — for example, the StrongArm is for warriors and anyone interested in exploring combat of every kind, while the Valiant Wing is for healers and those who would help people in need. Your fold will provide you with natural partners on your quests and adventures.<br />
<br />
New Explorers start out as Wanderers which gives them an opportunity to meet other members of the guild and get acclimated. After a week or two, Wanderers are encouraged to complete a series of tasks and choose a fold to join. Some of those tasks are fold specific. Once completed and presented to a full member, Wanderers become full members. Explorers are free to change folds at any time, though most pick one and stick with that choice.<br />
<br />
====The Folds====<br />
*'''Scouts''' - Teachers and masters of terrain<br />
*'''DepthSeekers''' - Treasure Hunters and Archaeologists<br />
*'''Starlight Hunters''' - Lightfooted Hunters who live for the chase<br />
*'''StrongArm''' - Warriors of the true nature<br />
*'''Artisans''' - Skilled Craftsmen<br />
*'''Valiant Wing''' - Protecting and healing those in danger<br />

<br />
The Gifts of the Dome guild is made up of those people who make all or part of their living from collecting and gathering the natural resources of Ylikum. Hunters and fishermen who collect and sell animal parts and meat, miners who collect the mineral resources, Harvesters and herbalists who collect the plant resources of the land and farmers who grow plants we use for food. Since each member depends on the natural resources to make their living each member has a deep interest in making sure those resources are not abused or misused. When discovering abuse and misuse members will work to stop the abuse to the best of their ability. Members are also interested in establishing profitable and reliable markets for the goods and resources they collect. This can involve setting up contracts with crafters to supply the resources the crafter needs, setting up a store to sell the good supped by all guild members, or providing the good people might need on a as needed basis. The guild provides education to member to help them become better at their chosen craft with the idea that a better educated hunter or gather will make better use of the resources of the land and be more efficient and profitable in their endeavors.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Life in Yliakum depends on the ability of the people to make good use of the natural resources of the land. Weapon and armor makers need metals in order to create their wares. Cooks need various plants and animal parts to make the food that sustains the population. Alchemists need plants and herbs to create their potions that help cure the sick or heal the injured. A skilled sword crafter can either use up their valuable time by mining their own ores or they can concentrate on their craft and use their time to make better and more weapons. The gathers of the natural resources allow the specialized crafters to devote more time to perfecting their craft and producing valuable items for the population.<br />
<br />
Those who specialized in hunting, gathering and mining realized that they could become more efficient if they worked together, to share their secrets about the best places to mine or the best way to hunt different creatures. By working together they could also help establish a more consistent market for the goods they sell. After much discussion and some initial efforts to work together the Gifts of the Dome guild was established. since the establishment of the guild the members have worked to help educate those who are new to the field of hunting and gathering and have worked to establish relations with merchants and customers to set up dependable and profitable markets.<br />
<br />
==Members==<br />
Membership in the guild is open to anyone who makes their living, in full or in part, from mining, hunting, gathering or farming. members are expected to donate to the guild either by taking part in guild events, such as markets, or helping run the guild shop, or donating a portion of the goods they collect/gather to the guild. New members will get help in the form of education and advice from the older members. All members benefit form the contracts the guild sets up with merchants and customers. Even though the Gifts of the Dome was created as a business, we are a Roleplaying guild. We ask all of our members to participate in guild roleplays including guild events, elections, trading, and general development of character.<br />
<br />
==Guild structure==<br />
Guild ranks are based on either your primary profession or your primary role in helping run the guild. Guild ranks are:<br />
*'''Mining'''<br />
*'''Hunting'''<br />
*'''Fishing'''<br />
*'''Harvesting'''<br />
*'''Guardian''' - Sort of like the guild guards, to help defend the guild and guild members.<br />
*'''Organizer''' - Primarily in charge of organizing guild events and participation of the guild in outside events like market days.<br />
*'''Ambassador''' - Responsible for maintaining relations with other guilds and negotiations of business contracts with potential customers.<br />
*'''Councilor''' - The people who give advice to the guild leader and who help run the guild when the leader isn't around.<br />
*'''Overseer''' - The elected head of the guild.<br />
<br />
The guild leader is elected by the full membership from one of the members in the Guardian, Organizer, Ambassador or Councilor ranks. Elections for guild leader are held annually.<br />

<br />
The Bloodstone Brethren is a Dwarf clan with the primary objective to provide the members with a solid community of like-minded friends aimed at becoming a great Dwarf Clan for all types of players. Brethren's founded on role playing but needless to say, it offers something for everyone - equal emphasis on both roleplaying and the PvP aspects.<br />
<br />
As a clan, it is about its kinsmen, given our previous experiences of community games, a Clan where the members are altruistic and thinks not what others can do for them but what they can do for others benefits everyone in the long-run. We will therefore expect all players to undertake their responsibilities towards each other and to the clan. Our main ambition is that the Bloodstone Clan will be a rewarding clan with a large number of friendly and active players who have a great time together. Our secondary ambition is that we the Bloodstone Clan will be a great Dwarf force, respected and known throughout Yliakum.<br />
<br />
==Clan Structure==<br />
====Oath Taker====<br />
All Dwarfs have a rigid sense of honour that is centered upon a bond or promise. Oath-takers must swear a solemn and sacred oath to abide by and respect the Codex of Stone. Oaths are of special importance for Dwarfs and The Brethren will therefore place great significance on the actual fulfillment of this Oath.<br />
<br />
All prospective Dwarfs must demonstrate the Codex of Stone and know of it in it's entirety during the seven cycles of initiation. When one is deemed worthy to join the ranks of the Bloodstones, a final task must be completed... and its evidence presented at the ceremony.<br />
'''Upon completion of the tasks, an RP-Event Ceremony will take place following the recital of the Bloodstone Oath at the Temple and will be presented with a battle helm, and then a Celebration at Kada-Els''''<br />
<br />
====Lore Master====<br />
Hoarding wealth is the greatest passion among Dwarfs. They are a steadfast race and work hard for their riches and possessions. Rare and valuable items are passed down through generation to generation and so a Guilds treasury is held most dear, as it is both a source of wealth and a bond formed between kin. No Dwarf feels secure unless their treasure hoard is heaped high enough for them to sit on!<br />
<br />
Lore Masters are opportunists in trade, always looking to earn an extra circlet. The duty of a Lore Master is to hunt and identify the greatest and rarest of items to donate to The Brethren, or market in auction. In frequent cases, excess weapons of the forge find their way to the hands of a Lore Master, and in turn, to those with the largest Tria pouch! Lore Masters are great storytellers are scribes of Bloodstone, recording the great achievements of the Guild in tomes for all to see.<br />
<br />
====Artisan====<br />
Dwarfs have a great reverence for old things, valuing them for their memories and associations. A skilled Dwarf craftsman reveres great pride in their work and so lives on through it and forms a tangible connection to the past. The preservation and continuing use of such an item is a form of respect and veneration for its creator.<br />
<br />
Dwarfs are the greatest miners and tunnelers in Yliakum, they delve deep beneath the surface for metals, precious gems, and whatever other mineral wealth buried in the depths. These raw materials are tended in furnaces to form perfect stocks and ingots, ready for use.<br />
<br />
Dwarfs obtain all they really need by trading in raw materials. Through this exchange of crafted items, many diplomatic and profitable opportunities present themselves between neighboring Guilds. The duty of a Artisan is to survey and know the surrounding lands in great detail for discovering new ore sources requires a keen eye. Artisan must also be knowledgeable in all metal properties and able to produce only the finest of stock.<br />
<br />
All Dwarf craftsmen are adept in repairing weapons and armour, and able to manipulate metals into fine blades for their works. The duty of the craftsman is to arm every Bloodstone with weapons worthy of a Dwarf.<br />
<br />
====Alchemist====<br />
All Dwarves have a lust for life and a inquisitive nature of all things. They work hard and they play hard. Woven through those extremes are the comforts that sustain them. They enjoy good foods from fresh ingredients both rare and common to fill their hearty appetites, plentiful and satisfying brews to free their spirits for the next day, well rendered remedies to sooth the aches and pains of their daily pursuits, access to unusual solutions for the unexpected needs to keep the work flowing, insights into new alloys to yield ever better service from their weapons and tools, lubricants for machinery and acids for etching runes and a deep connection to nature which provides all the resources not made by the hands of the races in Yliakum.<br />
<br />
====Warrior====<br />
The Dwarfs have always been famed for their sturdiness of build, and the Warriors are a testament to their kin. A Warrior is a master of combat and their duty is to hold a battle line, and to take a heavy toll on those who try to break it. As the line marches forward, they act to secure its hard-won advance, for Warriors can hold a patch of earth with the single-minded tenacity of an oak.<br />
<br />
The Bloodstone Brethren must always be prepared for War, for the possibility of threat is always present in the minds and hearts of all. Warriors must train vigorously in all aspects of combat and work closely with a Guardian, learning the techniques of dueling in the hope that perhaps one day they will, in turn, fulfill the role of Guardian. The duty of the Warrior is to become an able fighter, for these Dwarfs form the back-bone of the Bloodstone military might.<br />
<br />
====Cleric====<br />
The Brethren are a very religious clan, giving praise to both their God, as well as respect for their own departed dead. Though the time of there god walking among them is long over, the effect it had upon the Brethren is profound. The teachings have given rise and influenced every aspect of Dwarf lifestyle, culture and warfare. While every Bloodstone worships there god, like religions elsewhere in Yliakum there are priests who tend to the cares of the people and ensure the teachings of their religion are never forgotten.<br />
<br />
Dwarfs harness magic by manifesting its energy from the inscriptions of runes on the surface of glyphs, which by their mere presence somehow imbue them with power. Clerics seek knowledge in the Ways to better understand the gift of magic. Once a Cleric transcends to Elder, it is said, the elements can be commanded by ones will alone, with devastating effect. A Clerics duty is to become strong in the Ways of Magic.<br />
<br />
====Guardian====<br />
Guardians are the elite of the Dwarf Warriors and are selected from the bravest and most aggressive Dwarfs to serve as the Bloodstone's most elite guards. The Guardian is an embodiment of endurance and is characterized by sheer stubbornness and refusal to go down even under the heaviest of blows. It is said that there are few warriors in Yliakum who can boast they are as tough as a Guardian, and none that can prove it.<br />
<br />
The duty of the Guardian is to act as the Sovereigns loyal protector, to uphold discipline and courage in all things for the Guardian represents true power and strength. Wherever there is trouble, threat, or danger, the Guardian is always within the thick of it, prepared to to protect the honour of Bloodstone.<br />
<br />
====Elder====<br />
Dwarfs live to a very grand age. The relative length and fullness of a Dwarf's beard indicate how old and wise he is - hence, Dwarfs are immensely proud of their beards and never cut or trim them. Whatever they are doing, if Dwarfs are in any doubt as to how to proceed, they look to the Dwarf with the longest beard to tell them what to do. He provides what is invariably the wisest solution.<br />
<br />
Elders are the oldest and wisest of Dwarfs there know and teach many skills and form the Council of the Bloodstone. The duty of an Elder is to guide, to teach, and to enforce the Codex of Stone. Elders considered true Dwarfs, recognised and respected, these valued members of Bloodstone are sought by the Sovereign in times of great difficulty.<br />
<br />
==Joining==<br />
Becoming an Oath Taker will require the average player to dedicate about 2-4 days to the entire tasking process (minus the week activity requirement). Some Dwarfs might roll their eyes at that prospect, and that’s okay, because if that seems like too much effort to put forth in the coming days, there’s a good chance that The Bloodstone Brethren isn't for you. Remember, the Oath Taker initiation phase exists in order for you to get to know us, and for us to get to know you.<br />
<br />
For those who feel that the clan’s philosophies don’t quite match up with your own, there are no hard feelings if you wish to move on to another guild. We wish you all the best.<br />
<br />
For those who are willing to put the effort into becoming a member of The Brethren, then your future with us will be fraught with danger, excitement, large kegs of beer, and more tefu-smashin' and clacker-crushin' fun than ought to be legal!<br />

<div>='''Ideas and Approaches'''=<br />
As you know, the main purpose of this wiki is to maintain the given docs on the [[Main_Page]]. Aside from that it could provide some space for other ideas and uses for which the forums might not be appropriate for. <br><br />
If you have an idea for supplemental use, feel free to put it here and discuss. <br><br />
''For a new idea, please '''{{NewSection|click here}}'''.<br />
<br />
== Guild Pages ==<br />
<br />
What would be said to having Guild Pages?<br />
<br />
I think it would be a good idea if Guild Leaders could make a page on the Wiki for their Guild. Not necessarily for advertising purposes, but just solid, general information about the guild including rules, hierarchy, mission, site links, joining requirements, setting behind it. Perhaps these pages should be entirely in-character. This should of course be policed by other users.<br />
<br />
Obviously, there are other places to do this, like on the forums, but this is a Wiki, highlighting information about PlaneShift and I think that the different Guilds would be a good addition. <br />
<br />
Maybe rules should be set in place about what type of Guilds are allowed. [http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=27729.0 Newly formed and outlandish guilds] should be restricted from creating a page, whereas a [http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=26108.0 respected and older guild] may.<br />
<br />
This is of course an idea to be built on.<br />
<br />
Suvok (12 June 2007)<br />
<br />
:Well, I think it's a good idea, and may help garner interest in visiting and maintaining the wiki from the community. I've started adding some guilds to [[:Category:Guilds]], using posts from the Hydlaa Plaza Forums for content, as well as uploading Guild Logos into [[:Category:Guild logos]]. --[[User:Ethryn|Ethryn]] 22:36, 8 January 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Volunteering for graphics ==<br />
<br />
Since you can upload media, group and arrange them and discuss very well, this would be an ideal place to hand in graphics without formally joining the art department. I do not have enough time to engage in the project with all the responsibilities that this would involve, yet I would really like to contribute a little.<br />
<br />
Let's say someone noticed a 2D pic or 3D mesh missing and just wants to design that one. They could upload it here and it could be collected until someone from the art department does a new round of adding stuff, than they could look here, take over proposals directly or use them as a basis. What do you think? --[[User:Daevaorn|Daevaorn]] 12:18, 28 December 2007 (EST)<br />
<br />
We could also maintain a list of items without graphics or without unique ones (mainly quest items in form of a potion ...) and thus give an overview over what is needed. --[[User:Daevaorn|Daevaorn]] 08:39, 30 December 2007 (EST)<br />
<br />
Sorry this wiki can not be used for that, if you wish to contribute art you need to contact an art dev or post the art on the forum and let the devs deal with it from there, this wiki will not be used for hosting all art assets or new assets.<br />
--[[User:Caarrie|Caarrie]] 10:09, 30 December 2007 (EST)<br />
<br />
== Multilingual wiki ==<br />
<br />
What about a multilingual wiki ? Since there are several translation files at work, could it be possible to work on a multilingual version of this wiki. Not every page and article, mark me, but the essential to know to begin playing to PlaneShift (Player's Guide, for example).<br />

<br />
The Gifts of the Dome guild is made up of those people who make all or part of their living from collecting and gathering the natural resources of Ylikum. Hunters and fishermen who collect and sell animal parts and meat, miners who collect the mineral resources, Harvesters and herbalists who collect the plant resources of the land and farmers who grow plants we use for food. Since each member depends on the natural resources to make their living each member has a deep interest in making sure those resources are not abused or misused. When discovering abuse and misuse members will work to stop the abuse to the best of their ability. Members are also interested in establishing profitable and reliable markets for the goods and resources they collect. This can involve setting up contracts with crafters to supply the resources the crafter needs, setting up a store to sell the good supped by all guild members, or providing the good people might need on a as needed basis. The guild provides education to member to help them become better at their chosen craft with the idea that a better educated hunter or gather will make better use of the resources of the land and be more efficient and profitable in their endeavors.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Life in Yliakum depends on the ability of the people to make good use of the natural resources of the land. Weapon and armor makers need metals in order to create their wares. Cooks need various plants and animal parts to make the food that sustains the population. Alchemists need plants and herbs to create their potions that help cure the sick or heal the injured. A skilled sword crafter can either use up their valuable time by mining their own ores or they can concentrate on their craft and use their time to make better and more weapons. The gathers of the natural resources allow the specialized crafters to devote more time to perfecting their craft and producing valuable items for the population.<br />
<br />
Those who specialized in hunting, gathering and mining realized that they could become more efficient if they worked together, to share their secrets about the best places to mine or the best way to hunt different creatures. By working together they could also help establish a more consistent market for the goods they sell. After much discussion and some initial efforts to work together the Gifts of the Dome guild was established. since the establishment of the guild the members have worked to help educate those who are new to the field of hunting and gathering and have worked to establish relations with merchants and customers to set up dependable and profitable markets.<br />
<br />
==Members==<br />
Membership in the guild is open to anyone who makes their living, in full or in part, from mining, hunting, gathering or farming. members are expected to donate to the guild either by taking part in guild events, such as markets, or helping run the guild shop, or donating a portion of the goods they collect/gather to the guild. New members will get help in the form of education and advice from the older members. All members benefit form the contracts the guild sets up with merchants and customers. Even though the Gifts of the Dome was created as a business, we are a Roleplaying guild. We ask all of our members to participate in guild roleplays including guild events, elections, trading, and general development of character.<br />
<br />
==Guild structure==<br />
Guild ranks are based on either your primary profession or your primary role in helping run the guild. Guild ranks are:<br />
*'''Mining'''<br />
*'''Hunting'''<br />
*'''Fishing'''<br />
*'''Harvesting'''<br />
*'''Guardian''' - Sort of like the guild guards, to help defend the guild and guild members.<br />
*'''Organizer''' - Primarily in charge of organizing guild events and participation of the guild in outside events like market days.<br />
*'''Ambassador''' - Responsible for maintaining relations with other guilds and negotiations of business contracts with potential customers.<br />
*'''Councilor''' - The people who give advice to the guild leader and who help run the guild when the leader isn't around.<br />
*'''Overseer''' - The elected head of the guild.<br />
<br />
The guild leader is elected by the full membership from one of the members in the Guardian, Organizer, Ambassador or Councilor ranks. Elections for guild leader are held annually.<br />

==Opalescence...==<br />
...seeks to prove that an ancient proverb about a magical axe is true... clear sight and pure enlightenment can be achieved. Some say this may not be possible without finding the axe, and the code that unlocks its mysteries. While we seek the axe we work to our own enlightenment through valiant citizenry and merchanting fairly to support the mission... but mostly working with a focus for all members on magical training toward mage expertise and knowledge.<br />
<br />
'''Mission:''' find the magical axe, protect it and teach others about enlightenment of self and true sight.<br />
<br />
Some say the axe is named "Opal-eyed Axe of the Pterosaur" some say is named "Platinum Steel Axe of True Sight and Enlightenment." The translation is difficult to be certain of as it seems a dialect from the ages before the known existence of the separate Hammerwielder and Stonebreaker clans.<br />
<br />
Beginners in our mission are ranked Opalescent. New energy is welcomed. All guild members are equal in the rights of votes and input to the mission. Each new member is given a mission with which to prove themselves toward their magical strengths and personal enlightenment. Once passing this test, will be promoted to Bright Opalescent.

<br />
The Explorers Guild is a gathering of people from all over [[Yliakum]] who love to seek out new and hidden places, to reach new heights and depths—people who desire to travel and see every detail of our world. We stand together to ensure the freedom of this journey, for each other and for all those living with a true spirit of exploration. The solitary soul can find shelter with our Guild, yet there is friendship and fun for those who seek it, and if you are ever lost or need a guide, look no further than the Explorers Guild.<br />
<br />
In short, ''we’re here to see the world and have a blast doing it — together!''<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The Explorers Guild is one of the oldest active guilds in Yliakum. It was founded on May 11, 2003 by Havena Tanuviel. After Havena left for the ultimate exploration adventure, to reach the surface, Nilaya Kaeli led the guild until 2007 when she turned leadership over to Mordaan Thakkar.<br />
<br />
The Explorers Guild is a true neutral guild, not only in alignment but also with regards to all other guilds in the realms of PlaneShift. <br />
<br />
==Politics==<br />
Our wish is simply to explore these lands freely, without being swept up in the latest quarrels and wars. We are fully neutral—no official allies nor enemies. We never directly interfere in the matters of other guilds. Any villain who would stand in our way will face not only our own passion, but the anger of many who recognize and honour our way.<br />
<br />
==Folds==<br />
The Guild is divided into six "folds," each with its own goals, values, and interests. Plus new members start out as Wanderers until they complete a series of tasks and earn full membership.<br />
<br />
Fold members share a particular focus within our common bond of exploring — for example, the StrongArm is for warriors and anyone interested in exploring combat of every kind, while the Valiant Wing is for healers and those who would help people in need. Your fold will provide you with natural partners on your quests and adventures.<br />
<br />
New Explorers start out as Wanderers which gives them an opportunity to meet other members of the guild and get acclimated. After a week or two, Wanderers are encouraged to complete a series of tasks and choose a fold to join. Some of those tasks are fold specific. Once completed and presented to a full member, Wanderers become full members. Explorers are free to change folds at any time, though most pick one and stick with that choice.<br />
<br />
====The Folds====<br />
*'''Scouts''' - Teachers and masters of terrain<br />
*'''DepthSeekers''' - Treasure Hunters and Archaeologists<br />
*'''Starlight Hunters''' - Lightfooted Hunters who live for the chase<br />
*'''StrongArm''' - Warriors of the true nature<br />
*'''Artisans''' - Skilled Craftsmen<br />
*'''Valiant Wing''' - Protecting and healing those in danger<br />

<hr />
<div>Welcome to the Troubleshooting Guide for the Mac OSX. Have a seat, a mug of cocoa and relax. You're in good hands!<br />
<br />
If there's anything critical we've missed, please tell us in the discussions page - and bear in mind that this page is relatively new!<br />
<br />
==Tips==<br />
* Ensure you have created an account on the server. [http://62.173.168.9/register/newaccount.php You can do that here] (RP).<br />
* For those who are annoyed when Planeshift pauses whenever it loses focus, here's a quick fix for you:<br />
*# Open the file psclient.cfg with TextEdit (it's in <Home directory>/Library/Application Support/Planeshift/psclient.cfg).<br />
*# Append the following line to the end of the file: <br><code> System.RunWhenNotFocused = true</code><br />
*# Save and close. Play Planeshift.<br />
* For some people, Planeshift only works if you are the primary administrator. The reason for this is not entirely understood. If you're having problems, try logging in as the primary admin if possible.<br />
<br />
==Troubleshooting==<br />
===Updater lacks Permissions===<br />
'''Q''' : When trying to launch the game the picture with the arcane magic comes up, the bar fills... and then it freezes. So I went into the updater and it says "an update is available", but I don't have the correct permissions to continue.<br />
<br />
'''A''' : First, ensure you've installed it corectly (see Installation, below) and that you're not trying to run the game nor its updater off the downloaded .dmg. The applications must be run off your Hard Drive.<br />
<br />
Second, right-click on both ''psclient'' and ''pslaunch'', select "get info". Check the bottom part of the dialogue(s) that appear and, under "Sharing & Permissions" make sure that both Admin and yourself can 'read & write'. If not, change it so you can (you may need an Admin password). Close and try to update again.<br />
<br />
If that still does not work, close all applications (except Finder, obviously) and then go to Utilities (subfolder of Applications) and double-click "Disk Utility". Select your system hard-drive from the left-hand side, and then press "Repair Disk Permissions". This will set all permissions back to what OSX thinks they ''should'' be. Once complete, you may need to repeat the "Second, right-click..." step above.<br />
<br />
If it still doesn't work, seek further help.<br />
<br />
===Server Unreachable===<br />
If you are having trouble getting onto the server (i.e. "Server unreachable") then please follow the following steps:<br />
# Ensure that you are connected to the internet (just to be on the safe side ;) ).<br />
# Ensure you're connecting to the right server. As of 11th December 2011 the Non-RP server ''Ezpcusa'' is [http://www.hydlaaplaza.com/smf/index.php?topic=40495.0 offline due to lack of use]. The server you should be connecting to is ''Zero Ping''.<br />
# Ensure that the server is up: [http://62.173.168.9/ go here] and look at the ''Stats'' on the left side of the screen. If the number of ''Total Online'' is 0 (or there is no number listed) or if the ''Report Time'' is more than a minute or so different from the ''Time'', then the server is down and you will be unable to connect. Try again in a few minutes.<br />
# Ensure that you are not behind a hardware or software firewall, or, if you are, that you have allowed incoming traffic on port 7777. Note that if you are on a college campus, school campus, or at an office, you will probably be behind a firewall; if you are, your only option is to (politely) ask your network administrator to open port 7777 for incoming traffic.<br />
# If it still won't work, open your Planeshift folder, open the "data" folder, and open "servers.xml" (/Applications/PlaneShift/data/servers.xml) in TextEdit (click on servers.xml and drag it to /Applications/TextEdit(.app) ). Ensure that the port for server "Zero Ping" is set to 7777 (if not, change it).<br />
It should end up looking something like this:<br />
<serverlist><br />
<server name="Zero Ping" ip="62.173.168.9" port="7777"/><br />
</serverlist><br />

==Guide to installing PlaneShift on Mac OSX==<br />
<br />
You are advised to use the Torrent Download as this places less strain on the Servers. This does however require a torrent tracker. If you do not have one, there is one available for download just above the [http://www.planeshift.it/download.html torrent links]. Alternatively you may use the direct link.<br />
<br />
===Using the Torrent Link===<br />
# Go to the [http://www.planeshift.it/download.html Download page] (it may help to ctrl-click and open this in a new tab)<br />
# Scroll a little way down to the uTorrent links<br />
# Click on ''PlaneShift-v0.5.8.dmg torrent'' and download.<br />
# Once downloaded, open the file ''PlaneShift-v0.5.8.dmg.torrent'' in your favourite torrent Tracker.<br />
# Begin the Torrent<br />
# If you have not done so already, this would be an excellent time to create your user account on the server. (see Tips)<br />
# Once the torrent has completed, you should now have a file called ''PlaneShift-v0.5.8.dmg''<br />
# Follow the 'installation' instructions below<br />
<br />
===Using the Direct Link===<br />
# Go to the [http://www.planeshift.it/download.html#mac Direct Download] links. (it may help to ctrl-click and open this in a new tab)<br />
# Choose your link, and download (about 1GB of data).<br />
# If you have not done so already, this would be an excellent time to create your user account on the server. (see Tips)<br />
# Once downloaded you should now have a file called ''PlaneShift-v0.5.8.dmg''<br />
# Follow the 'installation' instructions below<br />
<br />
===Installing the Game===<br />
# Double-click the file ''PlaneShift-v0.5.8.dmg'' (if you downloaded the direct link with Safari, it may have already opened)<br />
# Select the folder inside entitled ''Planeshift''<br />
# Drag it to your Applications folder.<br />
# Once transferred, open the folder you just moved and double-click ''pslaunch(.app)''.<br />
# The game should now update itself, synching with the server. This may take some time.<br />
# Once the game has updated, close the updater and double-click ''psclient(.app)''<br />
# Enjoy! Any problems, please see troubleshooting.<br />
<br />
<br />
==For Those Who Know What They Are Doing==<br />
<br />
====Launching Planeshift with Arguments====<br />
I ([[User:Talad|Talad]]) have brought back PSClientCMD to help Planeshifters that would like to run Planeshift with special arguments but don't want to launch it from the command line, or dabble in applescript. There is basically a two-step setup procedure which I've elongated to six steps to make it easy for anyone to use.<br />
<br />
The steps required to use PSClientCMD are as follows:<br />
# Download the application: [http://www.world-of-cha0s.hostrocket.com/PSUpdater/PSClientCMD.jar PSClientCMD.jar] (2 k)<br />
# Move the application into your PlaneShift folder.<br />
# Open ''TextEdit'' (usually in /Applications). Create a new document if one is not already open (from the "File" menu, select "New"). Pull down the "Format" menu. If the option "Make Plain Text" is available, select it. If the option instead reads "Make Rich Text" then '''do nothing'''.<br />
# Type any arguments you want to send to PlaneShift when it runs. Include a dash ("-") before each argument and separate each argument with a space (" "). Do '''not''' enclose the arguments in quotes. All the arguments must be on one line (line wrapping is ok; just don't press the return or enter key).<br />
# Save the file in your Planeshift folder as ''PSClientCMDlist.txt'' (a plain text document). This '''exact''' name must be used.<br />
# Double-click ''PSClientCMD.jar'' whenever you want to run PlaneShift. The arguments will be passed when the client launches.<br />
<br />
You can get a list of available arguments by running psclient with "-help" as an argument. Note that this list is not exhaustive: some options exist that are not listed. I've copied the current list here:<br />
Options for MacOS X 2D graphics drivers:<br />
-screen=<num> Screen number to display on (default=0)<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Options for Crystal Space 2D driver for MacOS/X (OpenGL):<br />
-depth=<val> Display depth (32)<br />
-[no]fs Fullscreen if available (no) <br />
-mode=<val> Window size or resolution (1280x854)<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Options for Crystal Space 3D Engine:<br />
-fov=<val> Field of Vision (0)<br />
-renderloop=<val> Override the default render loop ()<br />
&nbsp;<br />
General options:<br />
-help this help<br />
-video=<a> the 3D rendering driver (opengl, software, ...)<br />
-canvas=<a> the 2D canvas driver (asciiart, x2d, ...)<br />
-plugin=<a> load the plugin after all others<br />
-verbose be more verbose; print better diagnostic messages<br />
<br />
