Mac

Post by Phlogios »

I asked before and I will ask again: Has WCU been released for the mac and where can I get it? I tried the Win32 version: It started in window mode (!), loaded all the loadable stuff and then it crashed.

Sadly, I'm not sure and don't think so.
a) You *could* use the executable from Mac Vega Strike, but as I think Spirit has made WCU-only modifications to the executable she distributes on the patches, and those modifications aren't in SVN, I bet doing so could bring some trouble (I'm not sure whether serios trouble or minor trouble)
b) Mac Vega Strike itself is released very little often but, I'm sure dandandaman has a pretty up-to-date binary if you want to ask him.

What I did was that I replaced the old privateer binary with Vega Strike's Intel Binary, replaced the soundserver, replaced all of Privateer Remake's resources with WCU's. Those files/folders that weren't replaced weren't deleted. And when I started the modified "Privateer Remake" a window popped up with a start-up picture in it. All the files were loaded, and I saw the cockpit for a few seconds and then it crashed. The setup-file said Fullscreen Mode.

Do you have the stdout/stderr of such a crash?
It might shed some light. If so, link or mail them (klaussfreire at gmail). In any case, it will probably be difficult to get it working like that: if the executable is missing an important functionality needed by the dataset, crashes like that are expectable. IOW: send those files, perhaps they give me a clue.
As a good rule, first try to make sure Privateer Remake works with the executable - then change the data.

From linux-like environments, the commandline:

vegastrike 1>stdout.txt 2>stderr.txt

should work.
I think it also does on the mac.

it should work for you as well since OSX is uses BSD linux under the GUI.

I get no output file :( I don't think it works. Maybe I'm just too "AreTarded" :P
