Mac Binary Release

Re: Mac Binary Release
New Release:
http://fabian.herb-clan.de/Spring-0.76b1+5448.dmg
This one includes an unitsync lib with Java bindings (JNI aware). I didn't test it though, so good luck!
I'm totally stepping in the dark with the build icons thing. So it's not i386 vs. PPC, not ATI vs. nVidia, and not Tiger vs. Leopard. Maybe old graphics cards vs. new ones. Or a combination of some kind. I have a rather old ATI Radeon 9000 Pro in a PPC Mac.

Re: Mac Binary Release
Should we not open a mac forum for all this?
Re: Mac Binary Release
you need another mac player for that a bit more seriously, currently there's no reason for making a separate forum for two threads. once there's a working version, people play it and start to post about it, we can think about separating stuff some more.

Re: Mac Binary Release
Just change the Linux thread to "Linux and Mac" or just "UNIX systems" or something.
Re: Mac Binary Release
My system is a Single CPU 1.8GHz PowerMac G5 with an ATI Radeon X800XT. Mac OS 10.5.1.
In Windowed mode with the latest build, the loading pictures and build icons work now!
However, it runs too slow to play in Windowed mode. In fullscreen it works fine, but there are no build or unit icons.

Re: Mac Binary Release
There's a message that scrolls off the console when I start a game. Maybe it has something to do with the missing build icons? See attached screenshot.

Re: Mac Binary Release
I think I got it:
http://fabian.herb-clan.de/Spring-0.76b1+5450.dmg
I noticed that the build icon and loading screen bitmaps have an odd size (non power of two). Spring's bitmap loading code scales the image two the next power of two (2, 4, 8, 16 etc.), except for if the ARB_texture_non_power_of_two extensionn is available.
But according to this message, ATI cards never support it, although the driver claims it does. So I disabled the use of this extension for now.
Let me know if it works!

It does! You're the best :)Commander wrote:Let me know if it works!
Edit: some more useful things : I'm using it on an iMac Intel "early '06" (first intel batch). I'm running Mac OS X, and until this version, I never had the build icons nor splashscreens within fullscreen mode. Yay.
Re: Mac Binary Release
Nice Commander! I get build icons full screen now too!

Re: Mac Binary Release
Thanks
That fixed to build icons for me as well. Of course I might go back to windowed sometimes as I can't switch spaces (desktops) while playing fullscreen and it is nice to be able to get work done while spring runs in the background.

Re: Mac Binary Release
Thanks Commander,
It fixes build icons and loading screens for me too.
While you're in a fixing things mood, one of the features of the Elio build was that *.srts files were associated with Spring.app so you could start a game by opening the .srts file. That doesn't work any more, even if I manually associate .srts files with Spring, or drop the file onto the Spring icon.
I can use a script from the commmand line though, e.g:
(Although I have to refer to ~/skirmish.srts, if I simply refer to skirmish.srts, even if it is in the current directory, it doesn't work.)

Re: Mac Binary Release
Elio never commited the changes that accomplish this, so I had to rewrite it from scratch, sorry. I will rather fix SpringLobby if I find the time. It supports skirmish games and setting configuration settings as well.
Spring changes the current directory to the one surrounding the application bundle, so it will look for your file there.
Windowed mode might run faster now, since it shouldn't switch to software rendering.

Re: Mac Binary Release
What is the status of Java 6 under Mac OS X atm?
Re: Mac Binary Release
There was a developer preview released for Tiger a long time ago. The current dev preview 8 for Leopard only works on 64-bit Intel Macs. It was released December 18th.AF wrote:What is the status of Java 6 under Mac OS X atm?

Re: Mac Binary Release
All new Intel Macs are 64-bit capable right? In which case, wouldn't anyone running Leopard have 64-bit by default?
Re: Mac Binary Release
All Intel Macs are 64 bit capable. But I have Leopard running on a G4 (PPC), which is 32 bit only. G5 is 64 bit again.
Re: Mac Binary Release

Ohh, Core Duos, mentally added the 2 in there. Yay for ambiguous naming conventions.Echrei wrote: Xeons are 64-bit. Core Duos are 32-bit.
