I know that since the developer team has little or no access to Mac machines it's been hard to get Mac builds up. In the past, at least in the case of 1.08, users has been contributing builds themselves. For 1.08, malex984 did the work to get it running pretty much flawlessly. Can it be done again, for 2.0 this time? Anyone else with the skills up for it? Also, congratulations on the new release! Milestone stuff!

I'm releasing my all-in-one experimental TDM 2.01 for the mac today. You'll need a ready-to-go "darkmod" folder and my app and then you should be good to go. Please read the notes below. TheDarkMod.zip Right click the downloaded app and select "Show package contents". Drag your darkmod folder into Contents/Resources, like the attached picture. After that, just close that window and double click. Notes, notes, and more notes: It doesn't do full screen. If you set full screen and restart it won't work anymore. You can manually reset it but I don't remember at the moment how to do that. It will modify the app bundle itself as you download missions and save games. I've since decided this was a bad idea and my next version won't do that. Source code is here: https://bitbucket.org/chairface/thedarkmod I made more changes to the portable code than was necessary so I don't think folding my changes back into the build is a good idea. I needed to rebuild the boost libraries so I pulled down boost and did so. Unfortunately, I pulled down 1.55; TDM is based on 1.51. 1.55 doesn't build right with clang so I had to hand patch it. Long story short, my next attempt is based on 1.51 and is less crazy. Also, you probably won't be able to build my code as you'll need the patched boost.

Hi Guys, thanks for your hard work on TDM! I'm a SW developer working mainly on Linux and have a lot of experience of building from sources on Linux and Mac OS X (including D3 and the current TDM). After noticing http://bugs.angua.at/view.php?id=3227 I decided to join in and spend some time on fixing the building and running of TDM natively under Mac OS X. If there is nobody else willing to do that, please, let me try. Best Regards, Alex

Hi there, I'm new to this forum so I take the occasion to say hello to everyone. This morning I've tried to download the Doom 3 patch v1.3.1 but the link didn't take me anywhere. Is there someone who can help me out? Thanks

First let me say I'm so looking forward to finally trying out TDM. Unfortunately I'm on a Mac and I don't have any previous versions of the game! Just curious if support for the latest 1.08 is still planned for Mac. This is one fan who really hopes so. In the meantime I am content to wait patiently. NH
