Macs and Doom

Neil · Post by **Neil** » Wed Sep 20, 2006 6:35 pm

Now got it going on PPC.

http://www.hakubi.us/temp/ZDoom.zip is my (Universal, of course) test release for now. Mac users: test it, and if you find bugs, let me know. If you find features you'd like the launcher to have, let me know.

Docs: iwads, autoexec, zdoom.ini, and such go into Library -> Application Support -> ZDoom. Just start up the launcher, open the game folder using the Tools menu, and you can copy things in that way.

If your OS X is older than 10.4 I can't guarantee it'll work.

Oh, and don't bother telling me there's no sound. That's the one thing left for me to work on.

EDIT: Updated to add byteswaps to ACS. Archive now also includes full patch to subversion trunk, for the curious.

I realize this will have to be updated fairly often, but I might as well do it anyway, as I feel it is important. Besides that servers download speeds suck hard.

I guess this is yet another reason to write wxZDL.

You should post the fixes in the bugs forum so they get included into ZDoom's code.

And BTW, please make your image smaller. It breaks forum layout due to its width.

I'll clean up and organize my changes into a set of patches for you once they're tested. I definitely do not intend to maintain these patches outside subversion indefinitely, however until I know that I won't have to be making changes every day, I don't want to submit them to a repository I can't write to, heh.

As for my server speed, yeah, it's not going to be the fastest thing around. But it's the only server I have, so... there you go. Mirrors welcomed.

Open up the Console application that comes with OSX and please give me what it prints there when you run ZDoom.

Cannot find a game IWAD (doom.wad, doom2.wad, heretic.wad, etc.).
Did you install ZDoom properly? You can do either of the following:

1. Place one or more of these wads in the same directory as ZDoom.
2. Edit your zdoom-username.ini and add the directories of your iwads
to the list beneath [IWADSearch.Directories]

How is your IWADSearch.Directories section set in your zdoom.ini?

In the tools menu of the launcher, if you click Show Game Folder, the iwads are there?
