[b42] OSX version is fubar

I really don't know. Can you delete your local copy and re-copy from the DMG and see if it works now?

Well, that's what I did initially, but I'll do it again. In fact, I'll try a couple of times. Nope, same deal. The Finder drag-n-drop gives me this:

Code: Select all

$ pwd
/Applications/T-Engine.app/Contents/Frameworks
$ ls -lagsk

Here's what I get if I do a command-line copy directly (copy command included for reference):

Code: Select all

$ pwd

$ cp -R Tales\ of\ Maj\'Eyal/T-Engine.app /Applications/T-Engine_bash_cp.app

$ pwd

In a quick check, the app created by manually "cp"-ing the contents of the DMG does launch successfully. I haven't played it extensively, but it seems to work.

In other words, it IS the Finder that's munging the installation. The questions are why and what can be done to make it work?

By the way, my results were all performed under OS X 10.8.1 (12B19), which is the latest as far as I know.

Frankly, I wouldn't expect different results at the shell level, but it's possible that an earlier version of the Finder might copy differently.

This whole thing is weird, and quite disturbing for entirely non-ToME reasons.

It's the finder that is creating the issues. Tried copying via terminal, works fine. Running 10.8.1 as well, but had similar issues with b41 on 10.8 too.
Had a look at the damaged copy, it contains a few locked files and they happen to be the ones that have 0 bytes file size. Oddly enough these files are also locked in the original t-engine.app in the DMG but not in the copy that i created of it via terminal. I guess that the finder tries to copy the content as a whole (including the properties like locked) but fails to copy the locked ones, while terminal just copies the files and disregards the attributes. My guess is that the issue could be fixed by removing the locks in the orginal .app in the DMG.

[Xanathos]

Just now tried unlocking the framework files in the dmg and then making another copy.
Still resulted in the files being 0 sized, wierd though that all the previously locked files aren't copied properly

For what it's worth, if I use the Finder "Duplicate" command to make a copy of the command-line installed app (both on the hard drive), the duplicate is seems to have the full contents.

Somehow, the issue seems to be linked to copying from the DMG.

Any news regarding the right click issue?

In short: no.

As far as I know, the only operation that has no alternative to a right click is to configure talents. Would it be possible to add some other way to do that?

Thanks,

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to run b42 on a Mac running 10.6? I've spent a lot of time trying to get it to work, including downloading the SVN and recompiling, but haven't gotten anywhere. I think it may be beyond my capabilities, but I'd like to know for sure that it is or is not possible before I spend more time on it. Thanks..

It works on my Macbook Pro with OSX 10.6.8 (with the right click error and wonky targeting), but I don't remember how I installed it. All the libraries seem to be intact.

Edit: I re-downloaded the game, removed the old application, and copied the new one by drag-and-drop from the dmg. It worked without problems.

Thanks for the reply. I tried what you wrote, as well as copying the T-Engine file from the dmg using Terminal, but still no luck.

I'm not sure what to make of the error messages. When I double click on the .app file, I get two popup messages, "You can't open the application T-Engine because it is not supported on this type of Mac" and "You can't open the application T-Engine because it's not supported on this type of Mac." These are not the errors one would get if it were the wrong system version being used, AFAIK.

Trying to open the T-Engine executable directly, through finder or terminal, yields these errors -- "The application cannot be opened because it has an incorrect executable format" and "Bad CPU type in executable". It's almost as if I were using a PowerPC Mac and trying to run an Intel (x86) program, which is not the case (I have an Intel Mac).

I've spent more time trying to compile the SVN than I have playing the game at this point, so I guess that's it for that. Any other advice would be appreciated, otherwise I'll probably wait for a new release. Thanks
