New Mac Version?
« on: November 21, 2006, 03:43:30 pm »
Can this be the thread for when the new mac version is ready or updates about such?  It would seem to me that this would be a good place for that rather than sifting through the many other threads.. 

Just a thought

Matt

Thanks, but ummm nnoting has been posted?  I kind of thought that was the one for the old one... 
So how long does this usually take? 
Not trying to rush, just trying to get an idea.

Thanks,

Matt

there's no point in placing a scheduled date for the mac release. between now and then is about as close as we can guess. The devs probably only have a vague idea themselves. That's the joy of devlopement - you have no idea what's going to happen from time to time  ;D. Rememmber the devs (and mac dev/s) are under no compulsion to do anything. Just be thankful that someone has taken the time to compile a mac port of the game so let them take their sweet time and do a good job.  \\o//

On a side note, what's happened to Cha0s? I've been a bit out of the loop myself but those updated status threads/posts don't seem to be updated all that frequently  ::|

and it would be rather nice if someone went around posting the link to the mac torrent file all over the forums so it's impossible to miss.

to actually answer you question from my limited experience it usually takes 3 or 4 days for the mac release to come out - usually 2 or 3 days after the windows and linux releases and anywhere up to and over a week when things don't go to plan. Who know's if all goes to plan maybe I can change that sometime next year if i have the time  :-X

Thanks for the info... Yes I was wondering 3 or 4 days?  a couple of months??  I didn't have any idea... 

I am very happy that someone out there will compile it and let us play... 

Thanks to whoever you kind people are.  : )

It has been posted on the planeshift website that the MAC OSX client will be available in a few days (2 upwards). It is true that all us Mac lovers should be patient and grateful to those kind people :thumbup: spending their hours to help non windows users. Just keep checking the forums and planeshift website for news.  \\o//

 :offtopic:On a different note does anyone have any ideas or news on when and if another server will be available in the next year?

 ;D

Mmmmm.... Now that's good, clean, RazorGrind!

This si a lie. I have him chained up in my celler  with the sole purpose of coding Mac releases of Planeshift which i  then play for a little while to test out and then leave for a long time until the next release at which point i have this process repeated.

I'm stalling a little while I try to stomp out some bugs in code I wrote for a word-wrapping text editing widget which cause some people to crash when the GUI loads.

Thank you Dfryer and ChaOs for your efforts to get the mac platform working with a new version.

Also, it is under this mac forum that one will get the notice  that the new version is working.   I often find the main PS website to lag
in their updating of information.

 :beta: I eagerly await the 0.3.017 as I just talked a freind into downloading it on his mac.
Thank you Chaos and Dfryer for your hard work and diligence in keeping mac planeshift worthy.
