Experimental TDM 2.01 for mac available


FezMonkey

Recommended Posts

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.

I get this when I open this forum page I'm posting on now, with your link on it... so open at your own risk.

Redface can you run it from the command line and see what it spits out? It's targeted for 10.7 or later, x86 only, 32 bit but I don't think 10.8 even runs on PPCs so that's probably not the problem.

 

cd into the TheDarkMod.app/Contents/MacOS and just run ./TheDarkMod.

 

If you are worried about viruses (always wise), the md5 for the zip file is:

 

MD5 (TheDarkMod.zip) = d2b2aaec0be6bd8eed9548ad7e0877d5

 

I checked my local zip and the one on the server and they match.

 

I did just run it through VirusBarrier Express and it didn't find any problems so I don't think I'm infected with anything.

Same result. Seems to be a problem with OpenGL. Never had this problem before with version 2.00 for OSX.

Thanks for the build, FezMonkey.

 

But is it easier for beginners, to link the app to the darkmod folder in the standard library folder

(like ~/Library/Application Support/darkmod)?

So its easier for the developers to distribute the mod. (smaller in size)

 

And in the future, easier for a beginner to install the game? (like installing the game with a graphical installer, run the updater and then your binary from the applications folder)

Hi Freyk.

 

I don't like having the app data in ~/Library/Application Support as it violates the notion that you can just throw the app away and get all the space back. Obviously, having it in the app bundle is subpar since the darkmod folder is modified as you save games and load new mods. Like I said, it's an experimental build. If I ever get around to finishing the next build, it'll ask you at startup where your darkmod folder is so you can place it anywhere you like.

 

In the mean time, you could probably create a soft link from app bundle to your ~/Library darkmod folder and that should work fine. An alias won't work but a soft link should.

 

FezMonkey.

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
