RTS pack works on Mac too?

by Mike Berg · in Torque Game Engine · 11/18/2004 (8:28 am) · 5 replies

Saw the new RTS pack and, man, it is exactly what i need. Question though: I'm developing on Mac OS X and the system requirements posted on the RTS Pack page only mention Windows... I'm assuming this is just an oversight, but want to make sure before I buy it.

They're releasing the installers for the Mac and Linux soon.

Yes! It does work on the Mac. You need either a PC or Virtual PC to unpack it, but it compiles and runs just fine* (personal experience).

I bought it, downloaded it to VPC, unpacked it, copied everything over to OSX and built it with Xcode. No problems at all.

* There's an issue with CRTL-Click not allowing for changing the camera view, but I think that's being worked on.

Ha! Interesting strategy. Off to the online store I go, then! Thanks...

Yeah. I was just going to check it into CVS and then check it out on my Mac. But that solution works very well, too!

There will be a Mac installer up very soon, too. :) Thanks for the interest guys.
