Problems with the 2.1.1 beta for OS X

[madsen]

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,

No, I hadn't seen that! (How did I miss it?!?)
Anyways, I'll be trying it out right away. Thanks a lot!

[madsen]

Aww... Shucks... Didn't work. :-/
I still get the exact same error as before.

Try to run it from the Terminal (And Please do not start more than one Thread for each problem).

1. cd /Path/to/ufo.app/Contents/MacOS
2. ./ufo +set s_language en

Enter this commands and it should run.

Cool! That worked perfectly! Thanks! I'm soooo looking forward to finally play this game again! :) Thanks a LOT to those involved with the porting and bundling! (Also, of course, to those actually making the game!)

And sorry for the multiple threads thing, but I didn't look in the FAQ-forum, since I reckoned it'd be in Bugs & Feature Requests if it was anywhere. Guess I should've looked more carefully.

Is ok, but for the next time wou know it .

Have fun with the game.
