Can i use a custom client on a mac?

[Cearl62]

I just bought a brand-new MacBook Pro OS Lion yesterday and i wanted to play HnH on a custom client, is that possible? or should i just give up and settle for the original client?

I believe that there are mac editions for the custom clients. I remember Phades working on them at the very least. I'll dig around a bit and edit this post with whatever I can find.

That was the most I could find on the subject but I believe that Ender's can work for macs. I'm sorry I can't be of more help and wish you the best!

I have no idea why, but it worked for me this time.

works just wondering if i can hide more than just the trees like i can on the windows client.

Ya, it's in the options.

Hey does anyone know why it says connection refused... and the servers not down

Ender's works on OSX, you just have to set it up correctly.

Might be a foolish question, but is there any way to get the latest version running on a Mac? Been trying to update it on my girlfriend's computer for months to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There are quite a few steps that I was planning on writing a guide for sometime but I also don't want to uninstall my currently working Enders in order to figure out all the steps necessary.

A few of which are as follows though:

1. Change the commands in your run.bat to follow OSX format. It should look something like this:

Code: Select all

cd Documents
cd Haven
java -Xms256m -Xmx512m -jar haven.jar moltke.seatribe.se -r ./res

2. chmod 777 the entire contents of the extracted Haven directory (no idea if this actually matters or not but it's been suggested in the past. It will be one of the things I check when I do an actual writeup)
3. Switch your java version to 32bit. Do this by opening Applications>Utilities>Java Preferences and dragging the 32bit version first.
4. Install JOGL. This is the tricky one. You should just be able to copy the jogl files included with the Enders download as well as these (http://www.java2s.com/Code/Jar/j/Downlo ... saljar.htm) to your SYSTEM/LIBRARY/JAVA/EXTENSIONS folder.

If that's above your head then I'm sorry but that's all the further in detail I can go at the moment. Hopefully you'll be able to get it working.
