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

[Phades]

Ahh good. So it's a working Mac client. I can update the others to support Mac. Though, I prefer ender's client as he's active and updates his.

You need to properly adjust your permissions to "rwx" via terminal. Please read this from apple: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2963?viewlocale=en_US for complete details.

In short, you need to open Terminal and use this command:
chmod 755 run.command

I don't use or own a mac so I'm not sure if it requires the full path. If you are successful, please let me know what you typed so I can update the troubleshooter.

The .command file ‘/Users/Min/Desktop/HnH/enderMac32/run.command’ could not open. Most likely it is not executable.

The content of the run.command is:

Code: Select all

cd Desktop/HnH/enderMac32/
java -Xms256m -Xmx512m -jar haven.jar moltke.seatribe.se -r ./res

Running OS X.4.11 on an intel powerbook.
My Java versions are called J2SE 5.0 and J2SE 1.4.2, any idea if they're 32 or 64 bit or what?

Any ideas what's up / what obvious thing I'm missing?

These instructions are unnecessarily hard.

1: You don't need to mess with Java Preferences.app. Just pass the -d32 flag.
2: You don't need to hardcode the location of the client. Unix command line goodness = cd `dirname "$0"`
3: A working run.command should probably be included in that download.


How about this:
I'll post a working client, and the bitchfest / flamwar can stop.

Terminal tells me:

Welcome to Darwin!
Computername:~ Min$ /Users/Min/Desktop/enderMac32/run.command; exit
Unrecognized option: -d32
Could not create the Java virtual machine.
logout
[Process completed]

Doesn't like your version either. But it seems to get further than the other one?

Edited to add -

As it didn't seem to like "-d32" I took that out of the run.command, and now it tells me

Exception in thread "Haven main thread" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: java.lang.String.isEmpty()Z
at haven.Config.loadOptions(Config.java:210)
at haven.Config.<clinit>(Config.java:107)

at haven.MainFrame$6.run(MainFrame.java:291)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:613)
logout
[Process completed]

As I don't know what I'm doing I'll stop now.

ALL HAIL ANDO

You may have put the -d32 option in the wrong place. Don't tack it onto the end, put it at the beginning like so:
java -d32 -Xms256m -Xmx512m -jar haven.jar moltke.seatribe.se -r ./res

The isEmpty() error probably means you need to run software update & get the latest version of java.

Good. I'm merely trying to get Mac users up and going with custom clients. Unfortunately, I don't own or use a Mac. So, it really is shooting in the dark in terms of getting it together. As stated in the beginning, this is experimental. I'm glad someone that has more experience with Mac is pitching in to help. I will update this based on your info.

No, when I ran your run.command without doing anything to it, Terminal told me that -d32 was an unrecognised command. This is probably something to do with me having an old computer? I dunno, if my brother ever stops mocking me he might just get round to setting up his old PC for me. EWWW. It's a desktop. Where am I going to find the space for a desk?!!1!
