Hi Everyone,

I have compiled a universal mac build of glest 2.0.1.

I am posting the link for application and source.

I think framework for vorbis or ogg is not loaded.
It is included in the app package.
try copy the ogg.framework , vorbis.framework to /library/frameworks/

you have to download the data files and run the app from that folder.

I have only tested in OS X 10.4.

that could be the problem.  I only have the following frameworks in my .app package:

SDL.Framework
Vorbis.Framework
Xerces.Framework

If it's no trouble, could you add the Ogg framework to the app package and upload again?  I would definitely appreciate it.

Figured it out!

Step by step:

#1 - Download executable from above link
#2 - Download the Ogg Framework Components from Here
#3 - Download the latest glest data package

Install the Ogg Framework Components
Create a folder, place the Application file as well as the glest data in that folder.

You should be able to click on the Glest application and it should run.

Different download plz???
« Reply #6 on: 6 November 2007, 01:01:46 »
Please host it somewhere else!!!!!! PLEASE!

That site that you used is atrocious. It limits bandwidth based on country usage????? Seriously, wtf.

Please post to a different one.

If you're lazy:

http://www.filecrunch.com/
http://www.megaupload.com/

=============================

EDIT: whoops! didn't realize that they allowed you to sign up for free. No need to reply, I got my download, and it works fine

Mac/PowerPC port
« Reply #7 on: 7 November 2007, 20:38:42 »
Hi,

I built a PowerPC port based on Jac's Mac OS port. The port addresses byte-order issues when loading the little endian binary files (sound, graphics, models) on big endian architectures (like PowerPC). This is the first time I have done such a thing, so this might not be the most elegant way to do it. Search the sourcecode for "BIG_ENDIAN" if you want to find the changes (the BIG_ENDIAN flag is automatically defined on Mac/PowerPC, so no additions to config_macosx.h needed at the moment). Of course it preserves full compatibility with other platforms, especially Windows.


The port is located at http://www.pg511.de.vu/ in the downloads section (not a free hoster to keep you sane  ;) ).


I'm in the same project group as Nostromo ( http://www.glest.org/glest_board/viewtopic.php?t=3034 ). We now begin trying to enhance Glest's AI. If we succeed, you will surely hear from us in about 3-4 months.

BTW: The line height (in-game, resolution 1024x768) with the Mac fonts is a bit high. The text lies partly below the command-icons. Is there a way to fix this?

Mac/PowerPC port
« Reply #8 on: 12 November 2007, 06:13:29 »
When I try to run Glest on my Mac, all I get is a black screen.
Could someone please explain to me (in terms a non-programmer could understand) how I might be able to get it running?

System specs:
OS X 10.3.9
1GHz PPC G4
512MB RAM

Do be so kind as to tell me if my architecture/OS is insufficient to run this port!

Just an additional report -- this seems to be running fine for me (on a Macbook with Leopard).  Thanks for making it available!

DragonFang: Have you tried running it through a console to see if any errors appear? I think other people have had this problem before. Maybe updating your graphics drivers or turning off shadows might get it working.

Hey Simon, I compiled your port, but I can't find the glest.ini file that it tries to load on launch. Are there some necessary files not included in the download you posted?

Thanks, by the way.

Well, I opened Glest in Terminal, and it reported this:

Exception: Can't open properties file: glest.ini

I could be remembering wrong, but I think that was the message I was getting before I downloaded and installed the Glest data files from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... _id=127297

Well, I've got the data files so I don't think that's it.

My glest.ini file is in the same directory as the glest application file...do you have one, and if so where is it located?

The same.
I tried replacing it with the one from the port, but that just gave the same results.

Glest might not have permission to access the file?

I don't think that's the problem, but I could be wrong.
Any other suggestions?

Thanks for the link, markroedel. It fixed that problem, but now I'm getting the error:

Exception: Unknown sound factory: DirectSound8

before that it also spits out:
createGlFontBitmaps not implemented.
but I don't know if that's related to the problem.

Okay, I figured it out. In the glest.ini file I downloaded from sourceforge, it had the line:
FactorySound=DirectSound8
which I had to change to:
FactorySound=OpenAL

Now it works! Thanks everyone.

Perhaps something's in the wrong place? I've got the Glest application in the Glest Game folder, along with the ini file.

The download site (from topic starter) has apparently shut down. Can someone host the files elsewhere? Ideally, the Glest developers would host them on sourceforge...

How large are the files, and what're the bandwidth expectations? I 'may' host them if sent them depending on the answers.

Hi, just found this site from Moddb. I really wanted to try this out as it looks amazing, but like bastiaan says, the download link appears dead. Is there another?
Thanks, Strider
