GTK Radiant for Mac: Problem while executing

(BXpress) #1

Heya,
since i wasn’t able to find a similiar post or topic on this, i will have to ask for myself what the Problem is.

I Downloaded GTKRadiant for Mac 1.4 and 1.5-darwinport.

After executing any of them, nothing happens. It’s only the Program running in the Dock and a not properly working Toolbar. I can’t do anything. Nor open a .map file or either configure something.

This is my System:

iMac G5 OS X Version 10.5.4 German

2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
2GB 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM

Well, are there any Tutorials or something i left out? Anyone with the same problem?

thx
qshi aka. BXpress

Maybye GTKRadiant is for PPC only - not Intel?

I have an old G4 Mac (PPC) but I had no time to try GTKRadiant on it yet. I remember reading something about PPC support of GTKRadiant.

Hm that could me awfully true.
but i don’t hope that this is fact :wink:

Did you try to run Windows GTKRadiant on a Emulator like Parallels etc.? I wonder if that works.

I still got problems when I try to run MacRadiant 1.4 . Whenever I try to run it, I see the logo in the toolbar , but nothing happends. Then my text editor opens… lol.
Are there other people encountering this problem, or have the solution?

grtz,

You must download a program called X11 from Apple, it allows ported programs such as GtkRadiant and GIMP to run natively on windows, where as usually they are built for Linux.

Download the latest X11, then launch the application. Once the console window comes up, close it (its useless to you) and then open whatever program you need. (gtkradiant for example) The program should now launch unless you did something wrong in installation… don’t worry, thats REALLY easy to do, you don’t wanna know how many times I have had to redownload gtkradiant 1.5 for both Mac and PC.

p.s. in LOTS of cases… 1.4 is the only application that runs while 1.5 does nothing, even with X11 running. I still don’t know why or how to fix it, something to do with running it on PPC, but it does the same thing for me on Intel macs. Just bite the bullet and use 1.4…

and they mentioned above about Parallels, I would strongly suggest that over BootCamp because Parallels can actually run as a window, with both Windows and Mac running side by side. (resource intensive, but useful, SO useful… I wish I had it :smiley: ) BootCamp requires a restart, and EVERYONE hates restarting.

Edit: About ET not starting… make a new .txt file and put in this: seta r_colorbits “32”

Name the file autoexec, and then press Apple + I to go to its info. Under the File Name and Extension tab, rename .txt to .cfg. (simply renaming file doesn’t work in 10.5 like it used to in 10.3.9 :frowning: ) place autoexec.cfg in your etmain folder.

The game should now load, and stop making those weird sounds while it does.
No idea why this works, but it does. :slight_smile:

aarg I reinstalled ET 2.60c and I made the cfg file with seta r_colorbits 32
but no success, it doesn’t get executed on startup I guess…

next suggestion?

maybe theres a way to put it in the startup parameter?

Well I’ve downloaded ET 2.60 B for mac on wolfenstein filefront.
I didn’t check it out if it works already. But I noticed that there was no etmain :confused: . Is that normal?

But with Radiant 1.4 there is an ETmain. … really confusing :stuck_out_tongue:

Anyways, thx for the info Pande , I’ll try it out when I’m BoM (back on mac :cool: )

I thought that X11 comes by default with OS X. I needed that for OpenOffice on Mac and I didn’t install anything as I found out that it’s already installed.

i got ET installed on my mac computer, it works fine with ETmain and everything, try to look in libary folder then application files or something

(stealth6) #13

x11 is default I got it in applications/utilities

I’m gonna try it now,
with the help of this nice tutorial.

meh, I ended up deleting the one that came with my mac and downoading it from apple site, and then all of the sudden programs like radiant and the GIMP started working again.
