MAC Help

Sure.
There are several methods to install and run TDM on mac os.
Read our wiki article:
https://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=Installer_and_Manual_Installation#Mac_OS

I recommend you to use the playonmac-method to run the most current version of tdm, version 2.07.
PlayOnMac (a WINE frontend) is an free application suite you need, for de windows version of the tdm client and the tdm updater
to play, update and install TDM on mac os. because there is no 2.07 mac os binary for tdm. 

Install play on mac by following the steps from the video in the spoiler below,
Until 07:19 in the video, where you can choose the TDM installation methods:

  • run the TDM updater, Instead of the notepad++ installer.
    Download use "tdm_update.exe" from the windows instructions
    follow the steps from the video 07:19 to 09:50, then select at that point the  tdm_update.exe.
  • run freyks unofficial installer, Instead of the notepad installer. (recommended method)
    download it from the download page
    follow the steps from the video 07:19 to 09:50, then select freyks unofficial installer.
    (and see instructions on the wiki)
  • Or Use the The dark mod setup build in playonmac (but its very unstable).
    from  video 07:19 in the video, step 3 from "install tdm" in our wiki article.

And if you have any questions about it, please create a new topic in our tech support subforum.

note:
on 29 march 2020 i re-tested the options above.
Please use freyks unofficial installer, for now.
Because the other options gives you several errors on start, that we need need to fix:
tdm updater gives immediately you an write error. After a restart of the app, the write error doesnt appear.
the tdm build in play on mac is veeeery slow while installing his (old) wine environment.

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      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)?
