TA3D

The first fully working OS X application Bundle is ready !
It still needs various improvements but it works (MacIntel only - PPC
on request)

You just need to put .ccx and .hpi files from the original CDRom into
"~/Library/Application Support/ta3d" and that's all

http://ta3d-download.shikami.org/binaries/darwin/intel/

Cool! Is there anyone who can test it?

Woow !! Does that mean TA3D supports more platforms than Spring now ?

It seems so

I think a little howto in the wiki would be appropriate (with screenshots). And perhaps a post in some Mac forum ? (the only needs is to copy files to make it work on OS X, like other OS X apps)

Hum may be after some tickets (related to OS X) are closed

I've loaded btdata.ccx, btmaps.cxx, ccdata.cxx, ccmaps.cxx, totala2.hpi and totala4.hpi from the CDs into my ~/Library/Application Support/ta3d folder (and I've also tried with them in the ~/Library/Application Support/ta3d/resources folder), but when I start the application a window pops up saying:

ta3d
RESOURCES ERROR

If I start the program from the command line, I get the following (and the error window too):

I've also tried using the --install option, but it throws up the same error.

Any thoughts?

Yes I saw this recently. I am trying to find out the real problem.

The problem has been fix in the r1366. If you can use the svn please try it, otherwise I will make you a new bundle

beware that trunk contains work in progress code, it may be broken whereas the branch/ta3d_0_5 folder contains bug fixes for the 0.5 branch (but with the WIP flag set), currently this branch contains several bug fixes that don't break anything.

Damien,

If you wouldn't mind making a new bundle, I'd appreciate it greatly.

Also if you have time, we need a MacOS X download page to go with the Linux and windows ones

Here it is
http://ta3d-download.shikami.org/binaries/darwin/intel/ (0.5.1)

I've added a link to it in the website menu

The new bundle works great. Thanks very much.

Is it possible to get some build instructions for 0.5.x or 0.6.x?

Cheers
