No idea where to start looking.

this only happens when you load a model via ufomodel?
try to call ./ufo2model -mdx
big endian system i suppose?
looks like the file magic can't be read correctly - i suppose the endianess is the reason for this.

Currently uploading a ppc/i386 universal of https://ufoai.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ufoai/ufoai/branches/ufoai_2.3 Revision: 30748

[Mattn]

cool - you managed to build an universal build? i saw you updated the mac compiling page in the wiki. will try to set it up like yours, too.

Universal i386/ppc build of 2.3 release
https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B5IJio6EJ3NBNTNhMTliNmMtZTM5Mi00NDkzLTlmY2ItNDM4YzExZjM1MDg0&sort=name&layout=list&num=50

Issues:
1. SDL is broken in macports. This was fixed, as indicated on the wiki, by patching it between the configure and compile stage. Reading the details on the SDL home page of what they have done with some linker tricks, I'm not sure that the macports version is "current". Sadly, the configure script for UfoAi doesn't like SDL as frameworks in /Library/Frameworks.

2. At least one change to the mathlib source file was made since 2.3 release. There may have been others. It seems that (and I may have used svn incorrectly) the tag is on a branch rather than on a specific version.

3. Maps are ppc compiled. They probably won't have identical checksums to the i386 compiled maps.

4. Not yet tested since packaging. The change to SDL reduces, but does not eliminate, the graphical issues on ppc.

... And there's a problem.

Testing on a second machine, with none of the needed libraries in from MacPorts (oddly, with all of SDL in /Library/Frameworks), yeilds this in the console.log:

...

...

That error message (a hardcoded library reference) is received on every sound.

This one I have no clue on.

[Mattn]

the version thing was another endian bug that is fixed now

Trying to figure out the sound issue.

Some debugging output yields

install_name_tool -change /opt/local/lib/libogg.0.dylib @executable_path/../Libraries/libogg.0.dylib contrib/installer/mac/UFOAI.app/Contents/MacOS/ufo

So it *IS* changing the location of libvorbis in the executable.

... which makes me wonder if maybe the macports version of SDL_mixer has a hardcoded reference (nothing else I can think of that plays with sound).

I have finally had some time to play with the Mac release version of UFO 2.3, and I am pretty disappointed.

At some point all the text disappeared and when I tried to go to Battlescape UFO froze. And because it was in front and captured all the input, it took my whole mac with it (I had a pointer but nowhere responsive to click).

Also, it was a debug build. I don't want to be nasty, but putting a debug build as a release installer is not my idea of polishing.

I hope I can get a build somewhere that has these things fixed, and preferably some sound as well. It would be nice to be able to actually play the game.

Best wishes,

Hello. I have an iMac G5 10.4. I have been succesfully playing 2.2 but I ran out of things to do. I played an entire year without seeing a single ufo or terror site. So I downloaded 2.3. However my 2.2 was universal and 2.3 is i386. For some reason I am not able to play 2.3. It goes to the loading dock and instantly closes. I have also tried downloading the three files on the top of this topic and the same thing happens. Am I missing something? is there a download to convert i386 to universal or do I need an installer? I am not very familiar with my mac yet.

I have an i-mac running 10.6  The program runs but I have no sound, no text comes up in the pedia, and the world map always looks like night except at night the lights are a bit brighter. Any hope for some fixes?

[keybounce]

Sound is fixed in the next release.

For your dark world map: Do you see a proper battlescape? (fighting battles). You can switch to the flat (2d) world map, and it should look proper.

No text in the pedia: Do you have english (or some other language) explicitly set?

Hi,

I was wondering if we could get an update on when the 3.1 update might be available for download for Mac (or where I can download it if I'm just missing something obvious)?  I've been checking in 2-3 times a week here on the forums and its killing me to read about all the fixes that have been announced in the forums, but not seeing where I can get ahold of them!

You all have definitely captured my imagination with this game and I can't wait to have sound and a ufopaedia that has content. :-)

The OSX build for 2.3.1 is up now, but it doesn't work on my computer.  I suspect SDL images but I don't know what to make of the error message I get when I run the binary from the command line.  Help anybody?

Code: [Select]

dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/SDL_image.framework/Versions/A/SDL_image
  Referenced from: /Applications/Games/./UFOAI.app/Contents/MacOS/ufo
  Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap

[Mattn]

it looks like the sdl_image framework is not part of the dmg... i didn't notice this because i have the sdl_image framework installed here. it looks like we really need someone who works with a mac and knows this kind of stuff... i will try to fix that

[Naftali]

Thanks.  I really like UFOAI, I just have yet to figure out how to compile a program for myself which puts me entirely at the mercy of these binaries.ß
