I just hope this port will work with those Intel-Chip Macs they're bringing out in 2007.

Kweepa

Well, I haven't set up a fat binary yet, but it should work when that happens.

The latest news on the port... I have a version that works with Tiger (tested on a fresh machine). I'll upload it tonight.

Thanks to Jake for his ongoing help.

Great! I hope it works. Unfortunately, I don't have acess to any compy with 10.4 installed.

However, if you're using Xcode to build it, this might help.

Oh, and I repeat:
QuoteSteve, is one able to also run the game by including the runtime with the ac2game.dat file on a disk image?
The Tween Module now supports AGS 3.6.0!

Yeah, I saw that, thanks. I'm more worried about building allegro to be honest. I need to use gcc 3.3 rather than 4.0. It'll probably work out fine, but it's a pain having to switch out frameworks. I fear change. Plus, I don't know anyone with Panther or Jaguar installed to test it on.

QuoteSteve, is one able to also run the game by including the runtime with the ac2game.dat file on a disk image?

Yup, that works, with windows exes renamed as ac2game.dat. I haven't tested pure game files saved from the editor.

I might have some access to Panther. My friend has a Mac, and I guess he wouldn't mind me running some tests in it.

Now, as for Jaguar, not sure at all.

This didn't work at all, unfortunately. One tester of mine tried this and first got a blank screen when an MPEG was supposed to be displayed, then another blank screen where a FLC was supposed to show. Then the program quit unexpectedly.

Kweepa

Dang.
Please pass these questions on to the testers:

What sort of mac? What version of Tiger? What screen resolution and colour depth?
What was the error message?
Send me the 'agserror.txt' file in the game directory.
Plus, open
~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/AGSRunTime.crash.log
and send me the contents.

Then PM me with any feedback.
Also, can you provide me with a link to the game and I can test it here? Unless you'd rather not...

Thanks,
Steve

Umm, no. I haven't had a chance to look into it.
I know it would be nice, and I'll be investigating it soon, but I can't promise anything.

Im on a mac and I'm using Panther, every time I try to change rooms the program quits

I'm surprised it works at all! That's promising.
Any error message? What is the game?

I've just uploaded a new version that fixes a bug during conversations I found in Aazor.
See the first thread or get it here.

I still haven't heard of any success stories using this thing, which disheartening - just simulacra and Phate checking in, with bug reports.

Cheers,
Steve

The games I tried were The Apprentice and the Valis demo, I didnt get a bug report though when it quit. I'll try the new version now.

Edit: Just tried the new version but it still quits on room change, as far as I can tell though everything else works fine.

PS: Thanks for putting the time and effort into creating a mac version ;)

Hmm, I've played Apprentice here and it doesn't quit. Must be Panther, but I'm surprised there's anything specific about room changing.

No problem. Sorry it's not much use to you!

There's a new version that plays FLIs - I tested it with Barn Runner. Unfortunately you need to install Barn Runner on a PC and then copy the game executable to a mac (because it's got an installer), so it's not really all that convenient.

Hmm, perhaps you were running Apprentice Deluxe?
I updated the engine to allow you to ignore missing plugins. The moment a script needs them the game will quit, but it's useful for games that use the creditz plugin, for example.
Valis appears to work fine on Tiger.
I also fixed a bug when running Da New Guys.
