BTW, it would be good Mac citizenship to put the logs files and data somewhere else. Either in ~/documents/ or ~/library/application support.

Best wishes,

Mattn:
either? what is the expected behaviour for mac users?

ovvldc:
~/documents/ is pretty common for games (Halo, KOTOR, NWN2, Oolite, Spore, ScummVM, SixtyForce).
~/library/application support is pretty common for productivity applications (Adobe, Mozilla, Microsoft, Handbrake, Skype, Vuze) and other games (Fallout, Porrasturvat, DEFCON, Myst V, American McGee's Alice, Prey)

I don't mind either way. ~/documents is easier to find and more often used by newer commercial games, and ~/library/application support doesn't get in the way of other documents.. I'm sure Apple recommends something, but I can't be sure what.

So take your pick ;).

Best wishes,
 Oscar

P.S. Still others put their save games in ~/library/preferences (Bioshock, Fable, Need for Speed), but that is the wrong place if you have more than config files to store..

Mattn:
ok, Documents/ sounds fine - done in r28270

ovvldc:
OK, sounds good :).

BTW, the version I tested was r28212.
Good luck with the missing lib, missing ammo and the crash.

Best wishes,
 Oscar
