Title: First timer - OS X 10.9.1 Won't launch. Post by: LovesCompass on January 09, 2014, 02:07:52 PM Hey,
Moved the unzipped folder to the applications folder, shows in launchpad, confirms I want to launch the application and then nothing happens. Dock moves slightly as if it's making room but goes back again. Trying to run 0.8.8. Downloaded the unified version. Any tips for someone with no clue? Used the patch and downloaded the executables as well which just gives me error messages. I've read threads with other Mac issues here but no help there for this issue. Hopefully it's a stupid mistake that can be easily rectified with a little bit of education. Thanks EDIT: Copying and "keeping both". Issue solved. Title: Re: First timer - OS X 10.9.1 Won't launch.

You have to run this command in Terminal: chmod +x /path/to/OpenArena.app/Contents/MacOS/openarena.ub That is if OpenArena is in your Applications folder and you are using the unified zip version 0.8.8 you should run chmod +x /Applications/openarena-0.8.8/OpenArena.app/Contents/MacOS/openarena.ub Title: Re: First timer - OS X 10.9.1 Won't launch.

(DO NOT LINK) h t t p s : / / openarena . wikia . com/wiki/Manual/Install#About_OA_0.8.8_on_Mac Note: 0.8.8 Mac binaries are those in "r28.app". Others are 0.8.1 binaries: they do work, but to not include glsl support and a few other fixes. I did not answer before because you had already solved your problem. |
