Don't start on Intel Mac…

[Butch]

Hi @ all,

i download it, install / repack it and wanna start the game… BUT… it won't start!
Everytime it crashes, the same happens with Warcraft III

Does anyone have any idea why? I've already update my System (MacBook Pro & OSX 10.4)


THX a lot, Butch

[EDIT]:

got the new Mac Pro 2,16ghz, 128 MB ATI Radeon X1600 and 1Gig RAM and here is the main part of the Errorprotokol:

Can you try replacing your nexuiz-osx-ppc-agl-bin (inside the Nexuiz.app, use context menu -> "show package contents" to reach it) by the one in http://141.2.16.3/nex/nexuizdebug20061212_v2.2.1.zip? Then you have one with debug info which is otherwise the same, maybe it shows better info then.

The problem is that I found no way to use the x86 addresses on a PPC mac...

[Butch]

i replaced the nexuiz-osx-ppc-agl-bin but i don't get any better info… first i get the black screen fpr 2 or 3 sec. then shortly it becomes blue, after this the game crashs…

So the main prob is the x86 addresses? I can't promise but with Warcraft III i got the same probs but by an friend W III works fine, however this isn't an Warcraft forum but i seriously wanna play anything on my new apple!

[divVerent]

Well, I have debug info, but since my Mac is a PPC Mac, I can't resolve the addresses to symbols and line numbers...

Maybe you can try it:

Run a Terminal.app, then:

Code: Select all

bash$ gdb ...../Nexuiz.app/...../nexuiz-osx-ppc-agl-bin
(gdb) list *(0x00030eab)
(gdb) list *(0x00059f4f)

and so on, and preferably only quote the function name, file name and line number for each address.

Maybe there is a better tool to do that on OS X, but I haven't found one yet - maybe you know one? On Linux, the tool that does what I want is called addr2line.

The Mac version of 'addr2line' is 'atos'... different command line syntax, but similar functionality.
