Title: Mac client?
Post by: Valkire on May 30, 2003, 09:32:48 pm

when is the mac client due to be relased?  i noticed a post in the news \"As soon as we have a bigger player base we                      will evaluate the opportunity to open more sites.\"

i think having PC, linux, and mac backing would help out alot with the player base, espically since then it could be advertised as supporting all of thoses systems, and im sure there could be huge improvements in the number of players on at any givin time

yea, i know how you feel (me being also an OS minority), AFAIK teh devs are wonrking (probably not with the highest priority) on the mac port, but you could still try installing it from source if you use OS X ...but you\'d probably need at least some programming skills to hack the source to work

devs, come on, the winnes are taken care of, we, the penguin people also ....it\'s high time the apple folk also get to play PS!!!

Lightyear is our Mac maintainer and he works on the Mac distribution as he has time.  Unfortunately his real-life work pulls him away from this avocation for weeks on end sometimes.

get a gcc port for mac, and hack away if you want it working, shouldn\'t be way too hard.
