jterk Posted January 1 Report Share Posted January 1 I am struggling to figure out how to install TDM on my Mac running Monterey. PlayOnMac will not successfully install as I get a permission to access error message when I try to move it to my Applications folder so I suspect there is a compatibility issue. I have also carefully tried to follow the other installation options on the DarkMod Wiki but cannot figure out the "winery" option. Would appreciate help!

freyk Posted January 2 Report Share Posted January 2 (edited) Thanks for reading and following the mac os part of the wiki article. Please give the system the permission to run playonmac installer package, at your security & privacy panel (see this video and that video for some pointers) After that, and if you have installed playonmac, please follow Play on mac - method 1 (and instead of TDM installer on play on mac, use freyks unofficial TDM installer on playonmac. this to avoid some beginner installation problems) Note: it is possible that wine of playonmac cannot run on systems using m1 chips I know that some parts need to be updated. so it would be nice that somebodyelse tinker with given (and new) sollutions and update this part of the wiki article.

jterk Posted January 2 Author Report Share Posted January 2 Regrettably, I am still unable to install PlayOnMac even after going through the steps in the videos (including installing Homebrew and attempting to install via Homebrew in the terminal application. I appear to be at an unmovable barrier... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STRUNK Posted January 2 Report Share Posted January 2 Can't you use bootcamp and have a dual boot system? I had a mac years ago just for 1 program and I used it as a windows laptop on the side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freyk Posted January 2 Report Share Posted January 2 (edited) It is also possible that jterk uses a m1, I have no experience with Windows 10 ARM on a m1, using bootcamp. (and i think dat TDM x64 doesnt run under ARM, maybe a old version of TDM x86) And TDM doesnt run smooth in a windows VM. but first his system needs the permission to run that package, because his system said so. check first your security preferences for the playonmac installer package. (try accepting that package in security & privacy, use that "spctl --master-disable" command, official apple-support article, several sollutions list,etc, etc.) For tinkering: If you have a system with a m1 chip, people say you can codeweavers crossover 21. But i havenot tested it. You said you have homebrew installed. How about using that to install Codeweaver Crossover Wine from gcenx? brew tap gcenx/wine && brew install wine-crossover (research>but montery needs crossover 21, that not in that repo) And how about TDM as a non-steam game on steam proton? (research> not for mac?) Using porting kit (research>there is no script for TDM. is a one-man-show) etc. Please let us know.

STRUNK Posted January 2 Report Share Posted January 2 Bootcamp isn't as straightforward as it used to be with new ARM chip, and I guess a lot less efficiënt then the intel(based) processors. https://www.forbes.com/sites/dwightsilverman/2021/04/14/you-can-finally-run-windows-on-your-m1-based-mac-but-with-a-catch/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duzenko Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 Any interest in trying to compile from source code via cmake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stgatilov Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 13 hours ago, duzenko said: Any interest in trying to compile from source code via cmake? It won't work anyway because we don't have MacOS platform code. All the Linux-specific code won't compile/run, and there is no MacOS replacement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerg Rush Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 (edited) Can help this? https://gamelaunchercreator.com/news/linux-macos-game-launcher/ Anyway, MacOS is a valid OS, but not so for gaming fans, also because of the restrictive policy of Apple which is a nightmare for developers.

freyk Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 (edited) Thanks, but that is just a paid wine-container, as an alternative for the free wine-container winery sollution, that jterk mentioned earlier. But it would be nice if someone update/create a free TDM wine-container for mac os. Edited January 6 by freyk Quote Info: My portfolio and darkmod graphical installer Amnesty for Bikerdude!

jterk Posted January 6 Author Report Share Posted January 6 Thanks to all you responded. I have resolved my issue by boot camping my computer and installing Windows to that sector. Can play The Dark Mod now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freyk Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 (edited) Nice to heat that. But to me it is avoiding the problem. If people want to help the TDM community to find sollutions to get mac os users to play TDM, please see the wiki for installation instructions (mentioned above) and create other solutions. If you don't have a mac, there are several ways to run it on your system. For starters, Search for "mac os on virtualbox/vmware player" (instruction) Edited January 7 by freyk Quote Info: My portfolio and darkmod graphical installer Amnesty for Bikerdude!
