Warsow .7...tisk tisk

Been talking bout this for a while but, I'm disappointed that warsow will not be supporting osx. //rantover //osxuser

you got that mixed up. the question is, why doesnt osx support warsow!! :D
seriously though, tried wine?

I'm disappointed that any OS X user doesn't care enough to step up for porting job, or shell out 3000eur for us for Mac Pro workstation to do it.

How many times is this now?

Noone cares to read back on the forums so the same stuff keeps popping up. Like whining about weapon balance ;D

umm crizis you have this nice community blogs feature now.why dont you use it.

its not really community's fault that you havent for example made news post about what next version will support and explained reasons for that.I understand people who dont bother to read thru numerous random pages to find information that there wont be support for osx

It was never said there'll be no OSX support, it was always like there will be PROBABLY no support.
So clear answer now.

Sucks tbh!

I do have another dev blog post cooking, which I will post when I get few more things done (probably at end of weekend). I'll mention OS X client situation there.

so, if said osxuser was to step up and port everything. would one of the devs walk them through it? like someone with no experience whatsoever

We need someone with good/high++ C/C++/OS X development/framework building/XCode experience. But when it comes to Warsow-specific stuff, of course we'd help everything we can.

But the fact is, I doubt vic has ever even seen a Mac (:D), my Mac/OS X/Xcode experience is somewhat limited to maintaining Warsow from 0.5 to 0.6, and that's it (all the initial 0.5/0.6 OS X actual hard porting work was done by danlin, who is long gone now).

And maintaining OS X client for last couple versions mostly meant clicking compile at XCode, perhaps adding a file of to to project file every now and then.. for starters
1) I don't have a Mac anymore, and
2) secondly I just don't have enough skills or experience with OS X/Xcode to do the trickier porting stuff (new ui, new angelscript stuffs, updating frameworks etc).

So we can't help much with OS X specific stuff.

Without blaming him, Drahtmaul has OSX Skillz, i asked him porting .7 and he was like he'd try.. kick his ass!

I mean those reactions show once more there's a real interest as for many ppl (me incl.) playing wsw on an emulated machine is no alternative.

Bootcamp works fine. Irritating to reboot every time you wanna play but hey it works.

cmon 1 of the 3 games running on mac would be lost

u cant let this happen lulz

Also windows gives you 50% better opengl performance :)

And we don't only need someone to do the _porting_ but we need someone who actually commits _maintaining_ it. Otherwise it's useless if we need to drop the mac build in next update due lack of maintainer again.

You mean YOU can't let it happen. Or rather you can, since you haven't bought the devs a mac.

Well, it's been fun playing for 4 years.

We've told with crizis about OS X porting. I should try to do that as soon as beta will be released (e.g. maintaining).

Even if OS X version isn't initially included with 0.7 release, we can easily ship it via autoupdate later, assuming someone manages to do the portin job.
