Hey, guys. Lostgame here.

Well, this is a combination of many things, for the mac part, it's a combination of Logan's code and mine, a bizzare hybrid-but here are the facts.

SRB2 is an online fangame project by Sonic Team Junior. The team's website is at www.srb2.org

Information about the game, as well as Windows support should be addressed to Sonic team Junior and contacts at SRB2.org

ALL MAC QUESTIONS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED TO ME.

System requirements:

I've tested it and guarantee it to work on the following:

iBook G3 900 Mhz, 384 MB RAM, 10.4.6
Mac Mini G4, 1.25 Ghz, 1 GB RAM, 10.4.6
iMac G4 (round base), 800 Mhz, 256 MB RAM, 10.3.9 (slightly laggy at times)

So, it seems to work on a variety of hardware, which is good.

If you have questions regarding compiling this from the official source, don't look at me, I'll just hand you mine. =P

This works with LAN netplay with other macs and windows.

I have not yet tested online netplay. I would appreciate comments in that area, though I am sure it will be fine.

Thanks, guys.

Try making a new OpenGL profile in your video settings.

I had another G5 user with a similar problem with video settings.

akb825 · 2006-05-31 1:57 pm

If you mean a new profile from ATI displays, it didn't do anything. Of course, from the looks of the stack trace, it appears that it's having problems wen initializing the network.

BTW, do you depend on any of the other threads for that initialization? I know one large problem with threads happens by not having variables used by multiple threads declared as volatile, so when they are changed in one thread the other thread doesn't see the change if it's still cached. It has to wait for it to become uncached before it sees the difference, which would happen in time for slower machines, but not faster machines. (such as the G5s. I had a similar problem before I even knew about volatile, and I ended up fixing it by putting in a delay; of course, it was probably better to have the delay in there in the first place)

lostgame · 2006-06-04 1:06 pm

Well, I've had next to no problems with G3/G4s and all the problems in the world with G5's...

So I'm totally removing G5 support, I have no way to support it-I know nobody with a G5, so I have no way to test it or compile it for G5s. I apologize profusely. I don't know what else to do with this problem. *insert pathetic smiley here*

Peace out...

akb825 · 2006-06-04 2:20 pm

I don't really think giving out is really the best option. I suggest you look at some of the crash logs (hell, if you send me a version with debug symbols enabled, then I can run it for you and send you the stack trace with line numbers) and can narrow down the problem, you can ask around on sites such as iDevGames. If you look around, I'm sure there's plenty of people who would help you.

BTW, it would help if you checked if it breaks on single processor G5s, like the iMac G5, but not on the dual processor. I've seen problems before caused because the processor was fast enough to reveal a fault in the code. I've noticed it in one of my programs (which I managed to fix) and in others. You won't learn anything if you don't learn from your mistake and find out how to fix it. You can't go out not supporting any newer systems just because you don't know what to do, that will pretty much destroy any newer project you work on.

No, no, it wasn't that it was like "ZOMG EMO LIEK IT DOZN'T WORK ONOS ILL GO KILL MYSELF NOW1!!111!!!111", it's just I really don't have time to fix it, I have a lot of other projects I work on, and let's face it, very few people have dual-core G5's, you're right, by the way. It works fine on a single-core iMac G5, which confuses me, but whatever. MSN or AIM me, man, I'd like to talk, and hell, maybe I can get this thing solved.

Starts up, loads some files, crashes with this in the log:

Code:

SetStates()
HWR_Startup()
InitMD2()...
Error while loading md2.dat

Runs fine on my MacBook under Rosetta. There's a couple of graphical glitches, but I've never run it on a PPC.

Also, you aren't bundling SDL. I had to install SDL_Mixer before it would work.
