Thanks, should be fixed now.

I got it to compile on two different macs running 10.3.3, but I had to modify the instructions a bit to pull it off.

First get scorched 3d from CVS.

This is from the "COMPILING" doc in the current scorched source tree:



Nix this one. Download the above sdl packages and install them from source.
http://www.libsdl.org/download-1.2.php
http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_mixer/
http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_net/

Install them in the above order, and all should be fine.



This is almost there, but you need to run the command 'fink install wxgtk' to complete the process (I'm using the latest fink).

Now all should be well to do the next step after you cd into the scorch source tree directory:


If this fails with a sdl error, (and you're using bash) add this line to your ~/.bash_profile
You may need to run the 'rehash' command, and failing that, close the terminal and open it again.

If you've installed the 36.x version of scorched available for download, there was a launcher for scorched3d that will still work, if you tweak it a bit.

Find the launcher (default install /Applications), and show the package contents. Navigate to Contents > Resources > Scripts.

Chmod the script "Scorched3d-launch.scpt" to 777 in the terminal, then open it in Script Editor.

Find the lines that read "cd /usr/local/games/scorched3d/" and change them to "cd /usr/local/games/scorched3d/bin" That line should appear twice. Save. Launch.

Some advice: Run the game full screen at a standard resolution. Otherwise the mouse won't respond properly.

That should be it. A little time consuming, but well worth the effort. I love the little trees!

what about this

Update

I have finaly got around to building an official Mac/Darwin port of Scorched3D version 37.1. Once its polished up a bit it will be released.

Wha..?

The previous version I had (36.2) had a nice installer that worked. I downloaded the new version 37.2 and how do you get it to work? It's just a folder with a bunch of files and when I double click the scorched 3d thing that looks like a terminal thing X11 opens and it doesn't do anything.

I'm running an iBook with 10.3.4, X11 installed. Developer tools aren't, because those sods at apple don't seem to give you the DevTools if you just buy a new comp. If needed I'm not DLing them as several hundred mb on a modem is suicide.

Anyway, any help?

No you don't need the development tools.

See here for more info:
http://www.scorched3d.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=965

you should be able to get it off the cd...and use the compile info.

Which CD would it be on? I have like a ton system CD's: 3 Restore, 3 Install and the 'Apple Hardware test'

Can you configure the keys on the OSX version?

Yes you can. You need to edit the data/keys.xml file.

Where is the data folder?

(I'm not KillerSpuds.)

I think it is /usr/local/games/scorche3d/data

or /usr/lib/games/scorched3d/data

Trying to build v38 on osx. I got all the sdl stuff squared away but it is complaining about opengl now. Any ideas how I get past this?

We highly suggest that you rectify this situation immediately.

I've made an official osx port. It is now available in the download area.

DO NOT SPAM LIKE THAT!
