I wish to publicly announce my total frustration(to be polite) for the bane that is endianess:

Stupid egg shapes.

Thank you.

I'll get on testing that graphical thing again as soon as I get home, later today most likely.

Thanks.

btw I'll be away today, but there's a lua patch being uploaded. it's a subdownload of the last link. I'll be more clear and fix it up when I'm back.

(you'll need Universal Build 0.7gU first)

Thank You for bringing this to Mac elio!!

I've was getting the same graphical glitches of either top corners, top half screen or full screen going black or grey. It happens during the building when the coloured graphics start making there way onto the object and goes away when the object is complete.

Had a flick through the preferances and turing off AdvUnitShading gets rid of the problem, seems to introduce a small full screen grey flick every time you select a building to make though but much more playable

Computers Specs are:
G5 1.6 Ghz
OS X 10.4.7
Nvidea GeForce FX 5200

This is the kind of info that helps tremendously; It appears related to nvidia code, both intel and ppc. I'll see what I can do, but thanks!

Also for anyone who has the time and ability, to compare and contrast (sounds like back at highschool

) any differences seen between the intel and ppc builds. Again, thanks for your support

I get this in windows, it happens everytime you draw a transparent virtual unit, be it via an AI or by selecting a build item.

nope, never seen that...

Posted: **10 Feb 2007, 02:27**

Thought so. maybe it's just mac nvidia drivers missing something, but I'll have a look.

Just a fyi posted in the wiki:

Note: Due to moving interstate soon, my development box shall be packed from tomorrow for potentially up to three weeks. I'll still be contactable for bug reports, info etc, though with potential delay. Spring for the Mac development shall continue its progress asap; this is not the end of my efforts. --Elio 10 Feb 2007

Even more reason to have had a more modern laptop

Edit: while we're on FYIs, you may need to unbind Expos├â┬® key bindings to use those function keys in Spring, like to use the lua widget controls.

I think holding command when you press the function key works... maybe i should test it first...

EDIT: yep, worked :)

Posted: **10 Feb 2007, 06:48**

aye, that will, but it is kinda alkward; I'm sure there's something simple that makes those keys when used in expos├â┬® in spring require being held down like F12 on ejectless small keyboards. But it's another alternative for people to try

Been trying to get a basic single player script running that I got off the forums here and the app quits just after opening, no crash log but info.txt is:

Using read-write data directory: /Games/SpringRTS 0.74b3+ Universal Mac Build 0.7gU/SpringRTS.app/data/
Junk in buffer :{\rtf1\mac\ansicpg10000\cocoartf824\cocoasubrtf410
Junk in buffer :{\fonttbl\f0\fmodern\fcharset77 Courier;
Content error: Parse error in buffer at line 76 column 2 near
}

It was the second one posted in ht tp://spring.clan-sy.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=8634

I've changed the map to the Small Divide and the AI directory route, although the AAI file has .dylib not .co

Thanks for any help

can you either pm me your start script, or if not post it here?

Give that a go and see...

I'll fix the AI path, so you only need to specify the AI name itself in the next release.
