- Download and unzip.
- Open terminal in OSX, navigate to the unzipped directory. E.g.: cd ~/Downloads/openarena-0.8.8/
- Make the binaries executeable: chmod +x OpenArena.app/Contents/MacOS/*.ub
You may now launch OpenArena.app, but you won't be able to install by dragging it into your applications folder as it needs the files located in the baseq3 folder which resides in the same dir as OpenArena.app. This "hack" hard copies the files into the app, run from terminal:
cp baseoa/* OpenArena.app/Contents/MacOS/baseoa/. You can now copy OpenArena.app to the Applications folder and run it directly from there. Right click (ctrl+click) it and click "Open" (twice) if you get the unknown developer warning.
UPDATE - automatic patch & install:I made the following script to simplify the entire process;
http://everythingismyfault.com/archive/stigmha_osxfix.command. Download it and place it in the extracted openarena-0.8.8 directory, it won't run out of the box due to security restrictions.
Open terminal, navigate to the unzipped directory (e.g.:
cd ~/Downloads/openarena-0.8.8/) and make it executable:
chmod +x stigmha_osxfix.command.
Run it from terminal (
./stigmha_osxfix.command) or double click it in finder, wait for it to complete, and voilĂ ; OpenArena is automatically patched and installed to your Applications folder. Right click (ctrl+click) it and click "Open" (twice) if you get the unknown developer warning.
