Title: windows to mac move - help on setup Post by: xlancealotx on March 27, 2012, 11:52:10 AM so I have my windows machine here with a 24' monitor running smooth, but now have a nice 27' iMac as my primary machine. I primarily play online with my config in the appdata/roaming/openarena/baseoa folder. That is my config that I wish to use.
So the questions are; 1. Where is the config file on the mac. The zip was downloaded and seems to run from the downloads/openarena-0/8.1 folder. There is a baseoa folder, but pretty clean (I am assuming it's due to the fact I haven't played online) but regardless I dont see that file there. 2. What are some settings/tweaks on how to setup the video, I have the default high set, so it it set as 'full screen' but only 80% or so is actually used. Any other command/settings I should have in the config. It's an iMac27, 12G ram. That will get me started to the point of tweaking more ... let me know if I need to provide anything else. Even that config seems so much smoother than the windows version, but just want the full screen and my config to work. Tnx Title: Re: windows to mac move - help on setup Post by: Gig on March 27, 2012, 01:48:58 PM Configuration is stored in your "homepath" folder: see (DO NOT LINK) h t t p s : / / openarena . wikia . com/wiki/Homepath
I don't know if you may experience some kind of problem just copying a configuration created under Windows to Mac... of course you can try. E.g. you may have to restore "cl_cURLLib" variable to the default, or something similar... Anyway, for Mac issues, you may try to contact Jackoverfull (http://openarena.ws/board/index.php?action=profile;u=362).

Append/replace this in your config or execute in the in-game console.
Code: r_mode -1 Title: Re: windows to mac move - help on setup Post by: GrosBedo on March 27, 2012, 04:34:39 PM You should not have any problem copying your config, as long as:
- you change the line endings. This is maybe not necessary, but converting from WINDOWS CRLF to MAC endings should be ensured to avoid weirdy errors. - remove platform dependant cvars from your config, these will be automatically reconfigured for your new OS (eg: renderer vars, sound vars such as s_alDriver, etc). Title: Re: windows to mac move - help on setup Post by: Tiny on March 28, 2012, 02:19:02 AM I assume if you just moved to mac, you now run with Lion.
So, about the primary folder you downloaded ( where you find the app launcher ), just put that folder in the applications folder. Your config file ( the " real " baseoa ) is located in your applications supports, to find it, you got 2 ways ( as it's not directly shown on Lion whereas it was before ): 1) open finder 2) Select " Go " in the taskbar 3) then you got 2 possiblities, press alt and it'll show up the library, or click on " Go to folder... " and then write Library in it. 4) Once you're in the library, just get in " Applications supports " 5) There find the Open Arena file, and you'll find the baseoa folder in there with all the maps/configs/mods and such ;) About the video, don't use your old windows settings, just get in the vids settings and put everything to the highest, personally i don't have the 27" imac, i got both an old 24" and the newest 21,5", and on both i got complete full screen with the highest settings :) If you got any questions for mac, you can ask me if you want ;) |
