Feature Requests / Problems with the 2.1.1 beta for OS X

« on: May 09, 2007, 02:58:30 am »

I downloaded it from the SF page, where I stumbled upon it. (I can see you haven't announced the OS X build yet, so I'm a bit hesitant to report these, but here goes anyways. Hope it's ok.)

SDL_ttf appears to be missing from the .app bundle and the game doesn't start. The icon flashes briefly in the dock and then disappears.
A quick glance in console.log, showed the following.
It looks for SDL_ttf in @executable_path/../Frameworks/SDL_ttf.framework but doesn't find it - because it's not there.
I downloaded SDL_ttf from the SDL website and copied SDL_ttf.framework into the .app-bundle (Contents/Frameworks) and that seemed to work.

Then another problem appeared...
When I tried to start the game, it still wouldn't do anything but flash the icon briefly in the dock. Back to console.log, where I found this:

I'm not really sure how to deal with that, so I'm giving up for tonight, but maybe you can make something of it.

Best,

Discussion / Totally excited by the OS X build

« on: May 02, 2007, 01:50:49 am »

Hey!
Just want to say that I'm really looking forward to the OS X build - hopefully it'll be universal, so I can play it with my non-Intel buddies. I'll be checking the front page on an hourly basis, so I can get it while it's hot. :)

You're doing a remarkable job, guys!

Sounds and Music / (Possibly) a musical contribution

« on: March 02, 2007, 01:06:33 am »

Hey!
I saw that you were looking for music for UFO:AI and thought I'd give it a shot, since I really like the game.
I've created part of a track, that might be useful to you (maybe not as mission music though, since it's somewhat obtrusive). It's still in its early stages and it still lacks a catchy melody, but I thought I'd follow Linus' advise and release early and (if you think it's worth continuing the work on) release often.

You can get it at: http://lillesvin.net/stuff/UFO-AI_music_1.ogg
And remember, it's not done yet. Suggestions are welcome!

Feature Requests / Binary for ...

« on: February 05, 2007, 01:28:47 pm »

Since I really have no idea how complicated my request is, I'm just going to blurt it out...

What about an OS X-build?

I've been searching and searching through this forum, but don't get any (relevant) hits on "osx", "os x", "mac", so I thought I'd just ask.

A week ago I bought a MacBook (instead of my old Thinkpad R32 w/ Debian) and I really, really miss playing UFO:AI. (I know I can install Debian or Ubuntu on the MacBook, but I'd rather wait a while and really try out OS X.)

Feature Requests / Binaries for Linux?

« on: December 03, 2006, 09:59:12 pm »

Did you stop doing that - or did I just miss a binary for 2.0rc6?
I'd really love to play 2.0rc6 on my Debian box, but I don't really want to build it all myself, what with the -dev packages and all.
I think the Loki installer was great (though .debs would, of course, be even greater for a Debian user like myself).
