Glest 3.0 package on Mac OS X

[KaSek]

I experienced the following problem. I think  Leopard users should pay attention.

Symptom:
In gaming, suddenly the game speed turned to be extremely faster. The 'p' (pause) key worked but '-' (decreasing speed) key was of no use. The blinking of button was also faster. When I terminated the game, everything turned to be normal state.

Cause:
I found ntpd program adjusted -0.5 sec. at the same time when I got the trouble. I confirmed the same symptom occurred if I set the system time backward a few seconds while the game was going on.

Avoidance:
The problem may occur if you turn on “Set date & time automatically” in System Preferences. So turning it off avoids the problem. I'm not sure it occurs in all Leopard Mac. As of OS X 10.5.2, I guess Leopard's ntpd has a bug. Its behavior looks odd.

When launching it on my MacBook, I got the following error :

Exception: OpenGL extension not supported: GL_ARB_texture_env_crossbar, required for Glest

Any solution ?

Thanks.

I get this as well on my MacBook...I hope we're not just out of luck until Apple releases updated OpenGL drivers for the integrated graphics card!

Me too! This is unfortunate.

To be more specific, I go to the HD, then to Applications, then to Glest. The problem occurs when I click on the Glest application icon, which results in the screen going dark as if something is going to happen, and me getting my hopes up. Then the screen returns to normal. In investigating this, I ctrl+clicked the Glest icon, whereupon I got the message in terminal from the original quote in this post.

Help?

it did that to me too, I just wandered around that cider site for a bit until I found something that let me in. Sorry that I can't be more specific, I don't remember it.

As for error message:
Exception: OpenGL extension not supported: GL_ARB_texture_env_crossbar, required for Glest

This means Glest won't work on your Mac. Earlier MacBooks and Mac mini don't support OpenGL which Glest gets to work.

* Please mention OS version and Mac model before saying "Don't work. Why? Help!" It helps not only me but other Mac users, I think.

As for link to CiderHouse:

You can access the link if you don't access the files directly.
In other case, I deny the access from some domains which spammer used. Unfortunately if you use the domain, I can't help. Sorry for that. If you can use another domain, please try it.

P.S.
I changed the subdomain from ivory to opal. Glest page is now:

http://ciderhouse.opal.ne.jp/wp/english/glest

But you can access the site using "ivory" subdomain as well.

This game looks great. I'm trying to get it for my mac, but something's wrong with the download page:
"

Help? I'm able to download the second file :/

Macbook, OS X 10.5.2

and does that mean that it will never work for my mac? the fact that I don't have the GL_ARB_texture_env_crossbar thing.

Maybe no chance. But I don't have the right answer. Apple only knows.
Apple often updates graphic driver with major update of OS X. But yours is the latest version (I liked to confirm that). And the functions of OpenGL looks it depends on graphic hardware. Probably your Mac is not enough to support newer OpenGL features.

You can't access the files on my site using /archives/Glest3AppR3.dmg or such.
Please download it from the page on my site.
