The RTS to 1.5 update for Mac

by James · in RTS Starter Kit · 12/02/2006 (5:37 am) · 5 replies

I thought I'd create a seperate thread for this since it's really appears to be a Mac problem.

I followed Guy's step by step implementation for upgrading the RTS Starter Kit to 1.5 and was successful on the PC side , but the Mac version is having problems ( I work primarily on the Mac).

I implemented the patch, etc and am able to compile the code no problems. Good sign that.

But, when I load a mission the engine stalls then crashes while loading the datablocks. I'm not sure what's causing this as I'm not sure what I'm looking at in the report (I'm a pixel pusher primarily but get Brain Lock when I look at a crash log).

I'll post here a snippet of the console log where it finished loading:

Then it hangs and crashes...

Any pointers as to what I should be looking at?

All help/advice greatly appreciated.

Do you have a debugger for the Mac?
Ideally, you need to try and find which engine function the crash is occurring in, as the log is pretty useless for tracking stuff down.

Well, I just discovered I do :)

Problem is, I've no freakin' idea what I'm looking at... or for... for that matter.

Nuts.

What can I do that will make it possible for you (or other someone kind soul out there) to help me?

Heres the output from the console when I'm running the program at it hangs:

No takers?

Okay, I'll see about talking to someone at GG and see if there's anything that can be done to move this along.

Thanks Guy, I do appreciate the effort you put into this update and it works beautifully on the PC. Mac is a whole other animal from the look of it :)

Cheers!
