Wolfenstein won't continue - Mac

(PercyP) #1

Being an old ET fan on my PC. I now want to revive it on my Mac.

Downloaded, installed and tried to start up. however…

The error I am getting is:

Wolfenstein cannot continue.

Couldn’t load default.cfg - I am missing essential files - verify your installation?

Below is another window listing path and stating 0 files in pkg files.

I have also attached a screenshot of the errors. https://ibb.co/b0zgk5

Can someone help, please?

Kind regards

Percy

Did you try ET:Legacy?
It is the most updated version of ET, and supports most of Mac versions. :slight_smile:

Thanks for your reply.

I just downloaded and installed. upon start up, the error I am getting is…

any suggestions?

Hello there, PercyP
The error message is pretty straight forward. You are missing the mentioned pk3 files. Normally the ET: Legacy installer should’ve asked you whether you want to install omnibot and W:ET assets. I’m assuming you unticked the checkbox?
To solve this you need to put the mentioned pk3 in the shown directory. You can get those files by either installing the old 2.60b game and movibg them manually or you reinstall ET: Legacy and leave the checkboxes ticked.

I hope I understood that problem correctly. If that does not help, please post again :slight_smile:

Cheers

Oh man, that’s a really unlucky return, but I hope you won’t let that get in the way of your motivation to play the game :smiley:

Could you do me a favour and post the crashlog.txt? It always helps to sort out the issue in your case. Thank you.

Cheers

I need to go on a rant on this (not sorry, sry)

I know most legacy devs wont read this, but this is why ET dies mostly. You, legacy devs, claimed to make it all stable, make it playable on all OSs. Now years later … this here, when you read this thread, is the problem why there are no new players since ages. Players getting error message after error message, and you still did not fix this?

I mean i am a huge bs guy with this post right here, but it is so deserving, believe me. You better not make any claims any more, legacy team. This is the utmost rediculous thing ever. Claim you do something, then leave everything in shards. Clean it up boys. I regret downloading your legacy **** internet installer really. It is all so ****ty really.

Srry, but this made me go on a rant. You better not proclaim a ****ty addition to ET when it simply does not work. Just my opinion. And i am not sorry for calling it out like this. This is rediculous, legacy team, get your asses up or delete your project.

i believe etnam just doesn’t support mac

(Jackeri) #12

First of all, its OSX which has bad support on the project (I am the only one with an apple machine and I only compile it), next if you think it’s so bad then you can try to help. People being really negative at people who work on this stuff for FREE does not help nor somehow magically make devs care more about the/your issues (quite the opposite).

Also calling for the closing of the project is pretty tasteless.

(REA987) #13

Most recent releases of macOS have serious compatibility issues with native games. Some of them caused by SDL. I am really not sure but you may want to check this:

(Jackeri) #15

I feel like you missed the point. We simply don’t have the people and time to do&test everything, but people try their best. Please don’t come at people with “fix your ****” mentality because that does nothing more than hurt the whole project.

I could go on about this, but I’ll just leave it.

(PercyP) #16

Is anyone gonna help me get on the game? lol

(KeMoN) #17

It seems to me that the game still has trouble with those pak0 pak1 and pak2 in ‘etmain’ directory.
I see you are trying to connect to an ETNam server. Could you try another server and see if that works?
I just want to see if it is related to the ETNam mod. Please try this NoQuarter server: http://et.splatterladder.com/?mod=serverinfo&idx=759676

Cheers

(PercyP) #18

No. it doesn’t work.

(PercyP) #19

I appreciate your attempts in helping me…

(KeMoN) #20

Hm, judging from the error message the game either can’t find those three paks (/etmain/pak0, /pak1 and /pak2) OR it finds them, however they are corrupt. I remember that they initially were missing, did you reinstall ET: Legacy or where did you get them from?

The directory where you installed ET: Legacy to should look like this:


And the etmain folder in that directory should look like this:

(PercyP) #21

I am on Mac. So it is slightly different. i have the two etmain and legacy folders in y directory. Within etmain i have one file called etkey… and in the legacy folder i have these: crashlog.txt, pak0.pkg3, pak1.pk3, pak2.pk3, ui_mac, and two folders named profiles and video.

Where am i going wrong? :\
