Mac OS X App Creator

Need help testing contributed art or code or having trouble getting your newest additions into game compatible format? Confused by changes to data formats? Reading through source and wondering what the developers were thinking when they wrote something? Need "how-to" style guidance for messing with VS internals? This is probably the right forum.

Mac OS X App Creator

Post by A Future Pilot »

Hey all!

So I was just browsing the internet for space sims and came across Vega Strike. It looks AWESOME!! I actually honestly haven't even gotten a chance to play it yet, but I most definitely will as soon as a get a spare moment (it's the end of the semester here at college, and for a CS major that means projects! ;))

Anyway, I saw on the home page that y'all needed someone to compile Vega Strike on a mac. Well here at school we have quite a few Macs with Xcode 3.2 (or 4) on them and I would be more than happy to look into creating Mac binary's for y'all! If you would like me to, I'll be able to for the next 3 years (ish), until I graduate :)

Just wanted to offer my help!

Cool beans :D

If you need help, don't hesitate to ask. We don't have macs (I don't even know how building and packaging works on them), but we probably can give you pointers.

Welcome aboard Pilot building VS from source should not be that difficult as long as you have all the relevant libraries available for gcc to link to.

Enjoy the Choice :)

I think there is a thread somewhere were strook tried to build on the mac but failed.. or another member.. It was some time last year so the thread may not be easy to find.

Cool Beans?? Haven't heard that in a long while.

Thanks I'll be on the look out for it! :)

And "Cool Beans" is one of my catch phrases :)
