Compatible Mods on Mac OSX

[Symfony]

Could also try wine. Installable with brew if you have it

Try swapping the mp_x86.dll files from the ET Main folder to the the mod folder most times it cause the download doesn't match your install.

 

cgame_mp_x86.dll

my_cgame_mp_x86.dll

ui_mp_x86.dll <--- most times it's this one obviously

 

at the folder User/Library/Caches/Temporary Items are some files created btw. :

cgame_mac.bundle

ui_mac.bundle

 

those are the bundles which the error log is pointing to. Isnt this causing the error? (tried to copy those into mod folders but didnt help..)

Don't worry if posts take a while, people are doing research to try and find a fix for the problem, and I think not many people use mac. Administrators are for sure willing to help and fix the problem so do not worry they will try and help you!

News: when i start ET from terminal and try to join server with silent mod 0.9.0 i get the following error message:

 

/Users/x/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems/etmain/ui_mac.bundle/Contents/MacOS/ui_mac:  dlopen(/Users/x/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems/etmain/ui_mac.bundle/Contents/MacOS/ui_mac, 262): Library not loaded: /usr/lib/libc++.1.dylib
  Referenced from: /Users/x/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems/etmain/ui_mac.bundle/Contents/MacOS/ui_mac
  Reason: image not found
logout
 

So this is the important part to investigate i think. Any ideas how to solve that?

 

->remember: silent 0.8.2 is running so i guess 0.9.0 is just not compatible with Mac OSX 10.6.8. cause the needed library libc++.1.dylib isn't part of this OS.

Here is how to build that library: install Xcode and Macports and exec sudo port -v install libcxx in terminal but im scared of screwing my system. Is there an undo option? Any Mac experts here?

(infos taken from the web and here https://trac.macports.org/wiki/LibcxxOnOlderSystems

 

Question 2: Anybody able to play silent mod 0.9.0 on any Mac OS? does it work on ET Legacy ? (which OS do you use?)

 

for me ET Legacy on OSX El Capitan crashes when i'm shot which is a common error it seems and related to silent and jay mod developers. ( it's also only possible for me to even join a server by starting ET from terminal via show packet contents on the app->contents->MacOs->etl )

[schNee]

believe me the easiest way is, get an old laptop and play et there. no problems and all mods possible. 

whatever u will have as workaround, u will never have good fps nor be able to play etpro

[blackrabbit]

what he said ^. i have et jaymod i can run on mac os 10.4.11 with the right install files and patch, i think its D? on a G4 with upgrades from 1997. ran fine last time i had it up

[r3wind3r]

I am now using the pc version through wine. That works better than expected.

Thanks everybody for help and ideas so far!
