How to Make Planeshift run on an Intel Mac

[KingNerd Nerdleton]

Hope this helps:

Open up the file Planeshift3D/data/config/r3dopengl.cfg in a text editor, and finding this line:
;Video.OpenGL.UseExtension.GL_ARB_texture_compression = false
and removing the leading semicolon.

We know. It was suggested by our Mac dev. Though I will add it to the Guide.

Did any of you consider running linux or windows on them 
I say this just to be difficult!

Hi everybody, I was wondering how I can actually change that and it will let me save it to "config".  When I try to it just says that its text only and won't let me overwrite it.  Any ideas what the problem is?

[Cha0s]

You're doing it as it says in the Guide? What is the exact error message you are getting?

[Stonemaker]

First, after I change it and try to save it, I get this "This file "r3dopengl.cfg is read-only.  Attempt to overwrite?"  then I hit overwrite and it says "Could not save document as "r3dopengl.cfg" in folder "config".

Its wierd, not sure why.  Im editing the text with text edit.

Ok. Three questions:
1. Select the config folder and go to File->Get Info. What does it say under the "Where" field?
2. What does it say under Ownership and Permissions?
3. Are you logged in as an administrator?

[Stonemaker]

1.  The "where" field it says:   /Volumes/PS_Install/Planeshift3D/data.
2.  It says "You can: Read & Write" and under details it says "Owner: (My name), Access: Read & Write, Group: (My name), Access" Read Only, Others: Read Only.

It won't let me change the things, the "Apply to enclosed items..." button is disabled, so are the drop down menues.  When I unlock it, it only lets me change "Owner" and "Group".

3.  Yes, im an admin.

[Cha0s]

Copy the Planeshift 3D folder from the PS_Install volume to your hard drive. It should work then.

[Stonemaker]

Still won't let me save.

[Cha0s]

Even when you try to attempt to overwrite? Try changing the permissions on that file so that you can Read & Write. Also, check if it's locked. (You can do both of these things from the Get Info panel).

Where would i find "Planeshift3D/data/config/r3dopengl.cfg" i have no idea where it is, i looked in every folder.

The Planeshift3D/data/config bits are directories - folders. The file you're looking for is the very last portion: r3dopengl.cfg. So you need to go into your Planeshift3D folder, then the data folder in there, then the config folder, and in that config folder will be the .cfg file you need.
