Title: Help with Open Arena on Mac
Post by: Absinthe on February 27, 2008, 08:55:30 AM
Hy guys,

I've been playin OpenArena for 2-3 months and...i've never solved a real "problem"...
The problem is that i'm not able to open the OpenArena console since i've a Mac..

Everyone suggests me to type tilde...but i've no tilde in my keyboard...so what i have to do?

P.S. There is no file .config in my BaseOA folder...i've just the .pk3 files

Thank you!

P.P.S Sorry for my English but i'm italian :)

q3config.cfg

Assuming the MAC works similar to Linux, the q3config.cfg will be in .openarena, a directory that stores all the mods & new maps downloaded when joining servers.

Press the key just below Esc, Depends on the keyboard whether it's "~" for example on my UK keyboard it is: "¬".

Hope this helps. :)

For me it's doing SHIFT+Esc on Mac.

lol! never noticed that before! :-)

yes, that's the way i always used since now: editing the q3config.cfg to rebind "toggleconsole".
the user's baseoa folder on mac is in ~/Library/Application Support/OpenArena, not in ~/.openarena, since ioq3 (and consequently oa) follows Apple's guidelines about support files.

Has anyone else had problems adding .pk3 files after downloading them from the Internet?

I downloaded the new version, but the same thing happens- it shows in the dock for one second, then fades away like quitting.
Do I have to edit a certain file with some mumbo jumbo I've never heard of?
Also, for 0.7.6, I downloaded the mac engine and after that it just worked, what about for 0.7.7, I don't see one.
