I managed to compile DoomRL 0.9.9.4 under Mac OS X on a 64 bit system, however it seems it has stability issues.
You will need to have the SDL Framework (http://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL-1.2.14.dmg) installed to test it...
DoomRL 0.9.9.4 MacOS X, 64 bit (http://doom.chaosforge.org/files/doomrl-osx-x64-0994.tar.gz)
Any comments, suggestions or help really welcome!
-
After I updated SDL and SDL_Image frameworks, it seems to work fine.
The only problem is - significant part of floor tiles are represented with question mark.
However, when I die, in graveyard, picture of level is fine, with dots as floor tiles.
I tried to run it in standard Mac OS X Terminal app.
Just tried to run it with X11 xterm - there things are even worse. It's not question mark. It looks like unrecognized unicode symbol (question mark in a white diamond).
Probably locale settings must be set to some specific locale?
Tried to set LC_CTYPE to "C", but it didn't help.
-
Open config.lua, find AllowHighAscii and set it to False.
-
Oh. That helped.
Now another issue. There is no num lock in mac os x.
In doomrl keypad switches weapons.
Playing with cursor+pgup/dn+home/end is possible, but not very convenient.
AFAIR there are two modes in curses for keypad handling.
And in one mode keypad keys produce some unique seqs of codes.
Just checked. If I call 'keypad(stdscr, true);' then keypad7 produces 27, 79, 119.
Hm. It works in Terminal, but it doesn't work in iTerm.
-
DoomRL doesn't use curses, it uses FPC video. But I'll look into the issue.
-
inital testing down to level 10 seems stable enough. Have not noticed any crashing. Being on a 10.6 laptop does provide a weird control scheme to get used to (no home,end,pgup,pgdn. Thank you edit keybindings). Sound files have played without issue, all graphics are accounted for. There was one issue in hells arena tho. it took a few taps of the enter key to get the text to show up and monster to load in. only happened once though and will try to repeat to have more occurances. But overall fantastic test build gents, hats off to you!!!
-found issue: after dying in a game, and restarting new game in same running instance. the music does not start from the beginning and once reaches the end does not loop again.

Hello,
I eagerly awaited the mac release, so hooray!
So far i found two "bugs": 1. The music does not loop.
2. I have to press ESC multiple times. This happens both in iTerm and Terminal.app. Changing the Key helps, but this behaviour is kinda strange.
All in all I had fun playing, but the nonlooping music was quite a bummer.
-

Side effect of terminal emulation mode -- when you press Esc once, the terminal is waiting for the escape code. This is a similar problem that appears on the Linux version.

Hi,
I just tried to start it on my Macbook (Lion 10.7.1) with the linked SDL framework (and the mentioned SDL image framework) installed but get the following error:
dyld: Library not loaded: @executable_path/../Frameworks/SDL_mixer.framework/Versions/A/SDL_mixer
Referenced from: /Users/<username>/Temp/doomrl-osx-0994/./doomrl
Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap: 5
Any ideas how to get it running?
Thanks!

http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_mixer/release/SDL_mixer-1.2.11.dmg
Once I figure out how to do a dmg, I'll package those into the download probably.
-
Thanks, its working now!

Installed the three frameworks, works sorta OK in iTerm, Terminal, X11, except:
-The music doesn't loop. Others have mentioned this, but I would add that once the music stops looping, it breaks all of the sound effects.
-I noticed that picking up ammo would look like "You found of 10mm ammo" with a blank space where the number should be.
-iTerm worked better for showing non-ASCII glyphs (edit: terminal seems fine as well), but it had trouble with the rightmost and part of the leftmost column. Edit: fixed by updating iTerm
-X11 is the only one showing the bottom line of display ie tactics and current level
Thanks for working on the build!
-
SDL frmws installed, then in iterm i've got the following error:
X11 vrsn is ok
An unhandled exception occurred at $000000010005743E :
EInOutError : File not found $000000010005743E
logout
Oh yes, macbook air(4.2); OSX 7
-
Is there more info in the error.log?
-
Solved this...
To avoid this bug you should launch iterm then cd to doomrl install dir and ./doomrl that's all.
But, if you launch doomrl in finder... I think that the current directory sets wrong.
-
Oh yeah, the current dirrectory *must* be the one with DoomRL. I think I can find a way to solve this later.

Hi there.
I started testing out this OS X version yesterday, and I've played a few games now. I can confirm some issues others have already mentioned, such as the blank number when picking up ammo. But overall it was quite playable.
However, I just realized the game is not properly saving my progress (rank/badges/what have you). It does properly note my wins/deaths but nothing else. I notice the client crashes whenever I exit--perhaps this might have something to do with it? (It says an unhandled exception occurred, something about an invalid pointer.) In any case since I can't progress to harder difficulties now it's somewhat of a big deal :)
I'm on a MacBook Air running Snow Leopard.

I've got a suggestion, it would be great if the fullscreen will be a true fullscreen. Now, when you're using fullscreen it scales up to 80x25 (or smthng like that), and the game is on the right upper corner of the screen, if there will be zoom it will be much more playable and it wouldn't be so annoying like it's now. And, as far as i can remember, f you're playing linux version of doomrl there is the same bug/glitch/feature i don't know. When you're playing in a naked console it surely annoys. I want to use my tty and play doomrl with true fullscreen.
P.S. At first you should make macexecutable file. this file contains all lib f.e. symlinks for SDL and so on, in the main folder there will be Info.plist MacOs(folder) Resources(folder) and it will be a true mac way.
P.P.S. If you want, I can help you with mac port.
