Torque3D 2009 1.0.1 Mac on Snow Leopard 10.6.4

Hi

I was trying to follow the tutorial on adding skymaps, and whenever I click to add on a cube face to add a PNG the World Editor crashes.
Any solutions?

I can't remember if I've changed the skybox on my Mac. I know I've done it on my Windows machine.

Is the PNG a power of two image? I've seen PNG headers get munged, but running it through optipng will clean them up.

No, they are JPG's, not PNG's, they all are 512x512.

Make sure they're not progressive jpg's. The Mac jpeg lib has crashed on them consistently.

Edit: damn phone autocorrected for the wrong grammar!

Nope, al JPG's are baseline ... still crashes.

Send me one of the trouble images and I'll see if I can get some time to work with 1.0.1 on my Mac at home this week.

Even if you get to put your jpeg files in your skybox, you won't see them.

Skybox is broken on Mac : www.torquepowered.com/community/forums/viewthread/102677.

Thanks, Nicolas! I had forgotten that it was an issue that was fixed in the 1.1 betas since it was quite an old one.

How can I download the betas?

The windows betas are available to Professional licensees. The Mac version is still in progress at this time.

So on Mac no skyboxes basicly? Ok ... no workaround?

You're welcome David.

Any real news about the Mac version would be appreciated…

I'm going to have a sync-up Friday and see if there is anything I can talk about on that front.
