Mac OSX Specific Issues / Would this be a good idea?
« on: January 09, 2005, 01:32:25 am »
Above someone mentioned a Mac specific forum, and when there are enough Mac users out there, perhaps that could be done. In the meantime, maybe we should all be posting (as others have done) our specs here in order to let us all know what to expect.

I\'m on a 15\" Aluminum G4 Powerbook at 1.5 Ghz, with one Gig of RAM. This unit has the Radeon Mobility 9700 with 128 VRAM. I\'m running 10.3.7, all updates.

My Framerates range from 7 fps to 70+, and it seems kind of random where and when I get those drops. Usually in the square I usually seem to get around 24fps, even with all the other people running around. If I leave the city and go running around in the country, with no one nearby, the framerates drop significantly. The high framerates of course happen when standing still in the sewers.

Also, fyi, the text of the crash report that happens when I try to nicely quit the game seems to indicate OpenGL issues. Is there someone who would like to receive those for troubleshooting some time down the line?

Still, love the game so far, and am very happy to be playing it at all.

I\'ve got a problem with the files. I download it all fine, but when i try to make a new lib file, copy the libcal3d.... file, or anything else to the /usr folder, it says that /usr cannot be modified. I have administrative access. I don\'t know why I can\'t modify it.

Please help!

Thanks.


Open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal

Type \'cd /usr/local\' hit return, then \'sudo mkdir lib\' - only without the quote marks.

Enter your password.

That will make the folder for you. Then in the Finder use the Go > Go to Folder command, enter /usr/local - you can then select the lib folder, go to File > Get Info and using the dropdown menu under Ownership and Permissions in the info window change the owner to your name. Move the libcal3d.10.dylib file to the lib folder, then change the owner back to System.

Of course you could do the whole thing in Terminal, but I find a lot of Mac users are a bit hesitant when it comes to using it, and there are other ways to get around using it in OS X.

So far so good, a little buggy in places, such as trying to leave the sewers from any exit results in being stuck in a wall, or between floors. The truly odd thing with that is the strange render that occurs: There\'s a blue un-textured area with reverse and upside down letters in it. I\'ll take a screen shot and post it here next time it happens. It looks like something from StrongBad\'s virus email.

I also get the linkdead thing from time to time, and each time I actually politely quit, I get the \"unexpectedly quit\" OS X error. No biggie, I\'m sure it will be fixed in time.

In the meantime, thanks very much for getting this over to the Mac OS. I\'m sure as word gets out, more people will join.

Oh, and the above fixes did work at getting it to launch for me. I\'m on 10.3.7, using the current top of the line Powerbook G4 15.\"
