Mythruna

why isnt mythruna working it just crashes on start up i think it has some thing to do with Mac OSX is it compatible wih parental controls

What error is it giving

none

Do you have the files with the exe file? mythruna locates them with them being inside the same folder as it is.

no folder how do you get folder

just redownload it for mac and see what is in it. When moving it move the folder with the files, not just the application.

Blackslash, thought you said you have developed games. Shouldnt this be simple

i do but i have tried every technique i know and it is not working i even downloaded it 17 times and is still not working

well right now, the server is down. I have checked my error log today to that of yesterday when the server was down as well....so please be patient with it....seems paul has something going on because he is never this quiet when things go wrong.

also...when you install it onto your comp, where are you installing it to?

and java script is one of the things i dont specialize in

this isnt written in java script

im installing into downloads but also i found that apple does not recommend using mythruna  

actually  while looking in script

partilly

java and grovy but not good with either

best with scratch

apple doesnt like anything that isnt apple....but thats another story


after downloading, take it out of your download files and put it somewhere else....i'm no good at mac's (dont like em) so i'm not sure where you would place them. just take the main downloaded file and move it somewhere else...then try and use the .exe

no folder just the application

click here (http://mythruna.com/downloads/Mythruna-20120627-MacOSX.zip)

that is the mac os download, i just want to make sure we are getting the info from the same place

it should download a zip file called Mythruna-20120627

find it, move the whole zip file somewhere else

open file

click exe

ill try

Use Linux?

It's possible that your graphics card is not capable of running Mythruna.  I don't know anything about Macs so I can't offer further assistance on trouble shooting.

Note also that the OpenGL library that Mythruna uses (lwjgl) has problems on Macs recently.  Though if you can run Minecraft then that shouldn't be the issue.  But Mythruna requires more advanced graphics than Minecraft.  Generally there will at least be an error pop-up, though.

I found out that it requires a whole new computer my friend got a new mac and we downloaded it and worked although no computer for me :'( :(

That's too bad.  I've seen some pretty old Macs run it, though.  Maybe it's a graphics driver issue or something.  I'm completely clueless about Macs, though.

ive used a mac before. But i never used it for advanced things.

ow well...

i was really looking forward to playing ;(

One of two things happened:
1) An error popped up telling you what the error was, or:
2) an error.log was written to the same directory that contains the mythruna.db, mythruna.exe, etc..

Since the amount I know about Macs would fit in a child's thimble, I can't help further than that.

Nothing like that just crashes on stsrtup

Before the settings window even opens?  If so then it might be that you don't even have Java installed.

We need java

If you dont have java it will not work, java is a free download

Macs used to come with Java installed already until very recently.

i wonder what happened...

Money happened.

my computer says java not compatible

D:
Try installing an older version, or get help from Help.com
when you get to java.com and select to download it, on a sidebar it says "looking for java 6?"

We live in a Java 7 world. Also make sure you aren't downloading the Windows versing if you are on a Mac.

I believe it has an auto detect.

Apple used to provide their own Java until very recently.  Unfortunately, I don't know how to trouble-shoot these problems on a Mac and I keep hoping another Mac user might be watching these forums.

However, I think Java 7 is the only version you can get from java.com for Macs because prior to that Apple supplied their own version.

However, it seems like this Mac might be really really old... so maybe it even predates Apple's Java.  We haven't been provided any specs about the machine so I'm only guessing.

its 5 years old

Perhaps you should discuss this with someone who knows and understands Java or Macs? This is obviously an issue of the computer itself, and I think there's other people on the internet who have the expertise to easily handle this.
