Custom Game Client for Mac Users == Updated: 3/15 10pmEST :

[Phades]

I'm attempting to get a custom client working for Mac users. Keep in mind that I don't own or use a mac. So, this is experimental.

No longer experimental. This is working for Mac users.

V.2

Directions:
-Download the MAC/OSX custom client here: http://odditown.taggedup.com/
-Unzip the downloaded file enderMac32.zip to it's OWN folder. Do not stick it with other files. Example: unzip to "/Downloads/Games/HnH/CustomClient/"
-Open run.command to play the game.
*Note: You must have the latest version of Java (1.6 or above) installed on your mac. To find out your java version, open Terminal and type: "java -version"

This is a re-work of the Ender client for macs.

Troubleshooting:
Post the exact error and symptoms you receive so that you can be assisted.

If you get an access denied error then:
Go to terminal and type chmod 755 and drag the haven.jar into the terminal window after pressing space once after 755.

If you are using MAC OS/X ver 10.5.8 or earlier (pre-snow leopard) then you will need to install the 32bit OpenJDK 1.6. Please refer to this thread: http://www.havenandhearth.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=17975&start=0

Ender and Gilbertus already work fine on OSX...

I'm told otherwise. Also, there is no W5 update for Gilbertus unless it is my other update that people are using. If so, can you confirm what changes and/or windows mods were necessary if any to get it working on your Mac. For example, are you running these clients on OSS using Virtual PC?

you forgot to add -r ./res to command file. My client won't work without this.

Ahh.. Indeed. Complete oversight. Forgot that you added your own res files. I was focusing more on converting the .dll files over to what Macs can use.

Updated the post and download file.

Try removing the first / after cd in your run.command file:

Code: Select all

cd Desktop/haven/CustomClient/

My run.command looks like this:

cd: Desktop/haven/CustomClient
java -Xms256m -Xmx512m -jar haven.jar moltke.seatribe.se -r ./res

It still gives me the same error:

na-me's-iMac:~ name$ /Users/name/Desktop/haven/CustomClient/run.command ; exit;

remove the ":" after cd and put an extra "/" after CustomClient

cd Desktop/haven/CustomClient/

Also, make sure that is the correct directory where the files are found. There shouldn't be another folder in CustomClient. Upon opening it you should be able to immediately see haven.jar and the rest of the files.

Thank you Phades, works like a charm.
