Title: New Player using a Mac needs assistance please.
Post by: Vralek on September 24, 2011, 01:36:42 am

Hello Vralek here, I have a friend that wants to play C-Rpg with us but needs some help getting it to run on his Mac.  So could some of you Mac players please lend some assistance? 

Thanks, here's what he wrote to me;

I'm using Wineskin which is an open source free software package that basically wraps up a windows application so the Mac can use it.   I'm using the demo version of M&B. Shouldn't make a difference over buying since the demo can be unlocked thereby gaining access to full game (still the same package).

The problem I'm having is no sound and although the mouse pointer is present for the game startup menu, it disappears when the game actually starts. 

If anyone is using the same deal, ask them what wineskin engine they're using or where they got the wrapper if it is a pre made wrapper.  Any tweaking they may have had to do with the wrapper to make the game work properly.

Wineskin is unstable in my opinion, best of luck as I personally did a proper Bootcamp.

Translation: I installed Windoze on my Mac.

Yep, I tried Wineskin too. Sometimes it works - sometimes it doesn't. Not always can the reason be made clear.

So use Parallel or proper bootcamp to run windows.

I do suggest bootcamp if its a slower comp or he wanna run cpu intensive stuff.

The easiest thing to do is use crossover. just open the exe using crossover and install on your desktop. then just put that file in your modules folder

That's what i did and it with a whole bunch of other mods so it works fine

Wtf, this is not the right forum or site for such things. There are sites where you find pirated software and sites, which you dont want to be associated with piracy. c-rpg.net is one of the latter.

Ahh, the internet, where people can openly do illegal things and then justify it to a computer monitor if asked. Nothing else like it.
