Title: OXCE v8.1 for MacOS
Post by: Meridian on September 21, 2018, 05:29:47 pm
OXCE for MacOS has been upgraded to v5.0 too.

Download: https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,5258.0.html

PS: Can someone please confirm it's working correctly?
It works fine on my MacBook Air (High Sierra), but I would like to know if it works also for people, who don't have any development environment installed.

Here's a preview of upcoming OXCE 5.2: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Cv636dNSXsPWUDtR3ADS_vcgrsJ_YTPj

Would appreciate some feedback if it works fine... especially in non-English character sets (e.g. Russian).

Hi,

I am a new user of OXCE, I tried OXC before but I have found out about this project which seems amazing. 

I wanted to give it a go but I hit a small issue though, I have just downloaded the 5.3 package and I cannot even mount it on my system.  I tried to re-download it again, and again and every time I double click on the package I get this error (attached image).

Any ideas guys?
My specs:  MBAir 2013, OSX Yosemite 10.10.5

Thanks for any info.

Hi,

can you try mounting via command line and make a screenshot of the result?

See point 3 in this article: https://deciphertools.com/blog/2017-10-02-no-mountable-file-systems/

M.

PS: maybe I created the image with the new Apple File System, but I wouldn't know, I'm a Mac-noob :) If it turns out to be that, I will try creating something more backwards-compatible

Hey, Thanks for replying so fast.

I ran the command you have asked for and I'm attaching the results.  If you could make sense out of this and make it work somehow, that would be awesome.  I'm no programmer myself but if you need any more help, let me know.  I have no clue how to compile projects etc. so you are doing amazing job for us OSX users by doing fresh build like that. 

Thank you!

Well, no idea, I don't see APFS mentioned there.

I tried if I can change the file system type in the DiskUtil utility (which I use to create the dmg file), but didn't find anything useful.

I am attaching just a ZIP file with OXCE 5.3 here in this post... please check if that works.

I managed to mount this dmg on linux and it does contain an APFS filesystem:

1. 7zip knows how to split dmg files in parts (disk partititions actually)
2. there's apfs-fuse that can actually mount the apfs part

Here is the crash report.

Hmm, it says that the included SDL library was built for OSX 10.13.

I'm pretty sure I built OXCE for OSX 10.9... but maybe the SDL libraries (installed via homebrew when I still had 10.13) were just copied from my now 10.14 system.
Not sure what can I do about it, but I'll definitely have a look.

Btw. is it possible to upgrade OSX on your MB Air?
Title: Re: OXCE v5.3 for MacOS
Post by: jasem on March 10, 2019, 08:25:50 pm
I was afraid it might be complicated, so that's why I posted here in a first place.  It is definitely possible to upgrade OS to a later one, however I try to avoid that. 

If it's too much of a trouble or simply not possible to make a package that is backwards compatible with 10.10.5 then don't worry about it.  I just thought/hoped it was a matter of "clicking on a checkbox" somewhere when you build a project to make it backwards compatible.  If it requires too much of a time investment then, like I said, perhaps it's not worth it.   I'll manage with older versions of OpenXcom. 


Thanks for the response and all your help.

Just wanted to say the current MacOS build (labelled as 10.15 compatible) also works on 10.13 machines, in case anyone else is resisting the push to 64-bit-only apps. I have no problem with 64-bit apps, but some of my oldest, best-friend apps are 32-bit so I really don't want to go to Catalina if I can in any way avoid it!

Looks like sanity checks in the new version got a bit more strict.

Unless the OXCE devs are planning to downgrade that specific error to a warning you have to adapt the ruleset files yourself to fix it [A].
Steps needed to be taken:

1) Navigate to the folder called "Ruleset" in the mod.
2) Open the file named "armors_Area_51.rul" and for each error lookup the corresponding section (named armor from the error).
    Take note of the property "corpseBattle". See snippet below how that will look like.

Code: [Select]
  - type: FEMALE_CIVILIAN10_ARMOR
    spriteInv: INV_FEMALE_CIVILIAN
    spriteSheet: FEMALE_CIVILIAN10.PCK
    spriteFaceGroup: 6
    spriteFaceColor: [96, 96, 96, 96, 160, 160, 163, 163]
    corpseBattle:
      - STR_FEMALE_CIVILIAN10_CORPSE
    frontArmor: 2
...

3) Open the file named "items_Area_51.rul" and search for the item with the corresponding name from the previous "corpseBattle".
    Those items have a missing "    battleType: 11" entry, you have to paste that in.

    Example
From:
Quote
  - type: STR_FEMALE_CIVILIAN10_CORPSE
    name: STR_CORPSE
    weight: 25
    bigSprite: 436
    floorSprite: 489
    invWidth: 2
    invHeight: 3
    armor: 12
    recover: false
To:
Quote
  - type: STR_FEMALE_CIVILIAN10_CORPSE
    name: STR_CORPSE
    weight: 25
    bigSprite: 436
    floorSprite: 489
    invWidth: 2
    invHeight: 3
    armor: 12
    recover: false
    battleType: 11

Hope this helps.

[A] Area 51 is officially not available for download anymore. It is unlikely the author can/will fix this for you.

Here is a patch I made to allow Area 51 (v0.972) (Created by Hobbes) to work with OpenXcom Extended (V7-1-4):
Area51Patch V1-3.zip (https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=6596.0;attach=55369)

It fixes the following problems that were preventing the mod from loading:
. Several built-in enemy weapons now have a blank sprite.
. Zombies now have a corpse.
. Several unit corpses now have been assigned as battleType: 11.


I haven't tested this patch much but everything seems to run and the mod now loads without a problem.

To use the patch just make sure it loads after Area 51:

Hi, thanks for the patch, I was changing the items_area51.rul as R1d0 said, left only the zombie corpse, I was figuring how to do it.
I simply copied Area51Patch.rul in Ruleset and BigOb_Blank.png in Resources, and it worked, in the mods I still have Area51 only. Hoping this way is the same..

Thanks again

No sorry, BigSur and Monterey are not supported at all... and likely won't be supported for a long time.
(There's no fix for it, Apple just dropped support for the technology we use; and upgrading to newer technology is difficult.)

End of January is just when I will update the package from 7.1.4 to 7.4 (or the newest at that time).
Support is only for Catalina and older.

Ok, for now I fixed the problem,
I used the 32 bit windows version on Macos Monterey, using a "wrapper" made with the porting kit by Paulthetall from his site.
Only the size.. from original 35 mb to 750mb, but it makes a sort of box for wine. Not the best like before, but I like to play with Area51 and OXCE and for now this is the simplest way, other would be use a virtualized win or a bootcamp

Is it just the use of SDL 1.2 (instead of SDL 2) that is the problem or are there other things that make it not work?

Is it just the use of SDL 1.2 (instead of SDL 2) that is the problem or are there other things that make it not work?

I assume it is just the use of SDL 1.2, yes.

But I can't upgrade my Macbook higher than 10.15 (Catalina), so can't be 100% sure.

Hey Meridian, many thanks for your work on this game!

Just FYI, I just successfully built and ran OpenXCom on the latest Mac OS X Monterey 12.3.1 (21E258); see attached. I used the Mac OS X-specific instructions from README-OSX.md at the OpenXcom/OpenXcom GitHub depot, under § “Make” (I can't afford Xcode disk-space-wise). I would post a link but...

Maybe it magically started working, but there's no way for me to know.

(Until now, I had only negative reports.)

Here you go! As per usual, one should populate /Applications/openxcom.app/Contents/Resources/UFO/ with a legitimately-owned copy of the original game after installing.

Good work domq!
I downloaded it and can confirm it works perfectly on my monterey 12.3, also with Area51 and Area51 patch
I'm happy to have checked often to see if something changed.
Thank You domq, now I can trash the 750mb wrapper I built to play it like a porting and start to play it again in native macos

Only a question.. why it says 7.5.8 and in the site there is 7.5.3?

Obviously a great Thank You also to You, Meridian, for all your patience and good work!
There is a small thing, ininfluent on the game, just to let You and domq know.. if I use a resolution greater than 1440x810, on the right of the geoscape, up, over the Intercept button, it is shown a "50:20" ...? I repeat it is ininfluent, also because I prefer the 1440x810 and in this resolution it is not visible, just a curiosity. There is also on older version, windows and mac (Mojave) before 7.5.3, so it is not domq work related.

I'm running monterey 12.3.1. The copy of Extended-7.5.3-f94c8c56f-2022-02-07-macos.dmg at cant-post-external-links https openxcom.org oxce release  doesn't work for me. On starting it, I get an openxcom window and I can hear the audio from the startup video. But part of the window where the game would appear is a blank gray. My mouse disappears when I move it into the window. Also, the window's title bar and the menus (at the top of the screen) are slightly blurry on the main iMac screen.

The copy of openxcom.dmg linked a few messages back ( which identifies itself as 7.5.8 ) works fine. The game video and audio are fine, and the title bar & menu are sharp.

I do have some development stuff installed, as I was previously building OpenXcom from source code.

I cannot reproduce the success of the ARM release from earlier this year. When I compile it on my M2 MacBook Air, following the instructions he said to follow, it compiles fully but instantly crashes (https://pastebin.com/ATzhFKDZ) when you try to launch it.

In addition, the working build runs unbearably slow, worsening the higher resolution you run it at. Even at sub 1080p, it's near unplayable and definitely not enjoyable.

Hi Meridian,
I suppose that for Monterey/Ventura the version is still 7.5.3, right? What about a porting of the 7.8 into it? Do You think it could be possible?

I cannot create a build for newer Macs, my Macbook is too old.

But the guy who compiled it for newer Macs can do it also for OXCE 7.8
(there is no difference in compilation compared to OXCE 7.5.3, somebody just needs to ask him nicely)

Can confirm domq's build ( 7.5.8 ) works on OSX Monterey 12.6.3 on Intel chip, with no issues as far as I can tell.  I tested only with UFO not with TFTD.  New build would be appreciated if possible.

I cannot reproduce the success of the ARM release from earlier this year. When I compile it on my M2 MacBook Air, following the instructions he said to follow, it compiles fully but [URL] when you try to launch it.

In addition, the working build runs unbearably slow, worsening the higher resolution you run it at. Even at sub 1080p, it's near unplayable and definitely not enjoyable.

I recently tried to compile master branch form GitHub on M1 (arm64) and it has error with some library. After tweaks in build path (adding libwebp), I get the build. But it crashes with the same or near the same error. I'm not familiar with c/c++ development – have no idea how to fix this, what the root cause.. If i run the build from Xcode – it crash with another error related to SDL..

Additionally, I tested domq's x86 build (7.5.8) and it works okay for small resolution only. if I set something like 2000x1200 or greater it starter lugging on animations. It's really weird. Maybe it's animations implementation limits, i don't know.

Can someone provide a way to compile this project on modern arm macs, pleease?

As always, you will need to put in the original game files into the Contents/Resources/UFO folder.

fixup_bundle("${BUNDLE_PATH}" "${BUNDLE_LIBS}" "/opt/homebrew/lib")

Craig, thanks for the tentative, I downloaded it, opened the dmg and put it on desktop (no more deny circles) and put inside it the xcom files, like the older ones,  it starts, but shows only a black screen and nothing, no msg, no music, if I press any key it simply exits, no error, no msgs, nothing

Looks like UFO (or TFTD) files not found.

Try this steps:
1. Extract openxcom.7.9.11.x64.Monterey.zip two posts above
2. Move openxcom.app to /Applications
3. Right click -- Show package contents on /Applications/openxcom.app and copy original installed UFO files into Contents/Resources/UFO (screenshot)
4. Sign application
xattr -cr /Applications/openxcom.app
codesign --force --deep --sign - /Applications/openxcom.app

Maybe, I tried already with the porting kit that contains wine and that I use for other windows games not made for Mac, but it is 1,31gb against 42mb. I would rather prefer the native MacOs version, that is smaller and much faster than that. I'll wait for somebody posting the Macos version here, in the meantime I'll try again to create it

I'm using your builds and also stumbled upon the black screen issue. OS Monterrey 12.6.5 (Intel CPU).   

I've localized the issue with the Universal Patch... Basically:

1. Unpack your latest build (openXcom_7.9.24_intel_Mojave+.zip), sign;
Copy UFO folders from the GOG game archive (for which I had to use another Windows machine to install their exe and make it a zip)
-> works.

2. Copying (replacing) the data contents from the Universal UFO Patch (openxcom.org .. download .. extras .. universal-patch-ufo.zip)
-> black screen when starting.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

2. Do not replace game folders on Mac systems: Patch (https://openxcom.org/downloads-extras/) folders contain fewer files.
Try to overwrite only files in UFO folders (folder-by-folder, manually).

Hi Craiz!

First of all as a newbie here, thx very much for your service.
TFTD was our go-to-game through our teen years, very happy to see this whole community and its work.

I am on a MBP m1, having the latest parallels and at least homebrew installed – but this is where my knowledge of compiling stuff ends and usually old games go into the alpha of boxer or the win-vm itself :)

So if I can be of any help in regards of making a native m1 build of the latest OXCE please advise how and I can do it – at least some help I can offer.

many thx,
cheers,
Markus

Update: I tried to do some magic, but despite hours on stackflow, in Xcode and terminal I didn't get a build to succeed, as homebrew is a bit of a struggle cause

"sdl_mixer has been disabled because it is deprecated upstream!"
"sdl_image has been disabled because it is deprecated upstream!"

tried w the newer sdl2_image and mixer and modify "CMakeLists.txt" accordingly, but then "fatal error: "SDL2_mixer.h' file not found", which makes probably sense that it won't be that easy :D

// also tried to "hack" myself into -> https://www.studyplan.dev/sdl-dev/sdl-setup-mac but no success

For now MacOS is broken because Brew kill couple of libs that OXC used, but for some time it should be still possible to hack it and reelable it.
Best look for stack overflow ablaut re enabling Brew packages that was disabled

Post by: ska on July 23, 2024, 08:55:23 pm
Couldn't find anything quickly, so I tried to revamp w SDL2, but it didnt go well :D

Initially I only wanted to help out w a MAC and Parallels, but now I got interested.

Anyways, will look into a bit, maybe I can hardcopy it into homebrew again.

looking forward to the exchange

Hi Ska,

I compiled OXCE yesterday successfully on a MacBook M3. I had to edit the Homebrew formula for sdl_image and sdl_mixer to reenable it. See stackoverflow for that. You can install sdl_image and sdl_mixer after the edit. Instead of sdl I used the sdl12-compat formula. (I left out all the parameters like --with-static-lib in the brew install example for the dependencies, as they aren't accepted by homebrew)

Before that I also tried to change the cmake dependency from sdl_mixer to sdl2_mixer which doesn't work.

I then used the cmake way to compile the code. The resulting openxcom.app is missing the sdl2.dylib used for the sdl12-compat library. I copied that from an existing OXCE build and it runs without any flaws so far.

The binary is an Intel binary. I tried to get an arm64 native binary with -DCMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES=x86_64;arm64 and editing the CMakeLists to add set(CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES "arm64"). The latter is accepted by cmake but it misses stuff resulting in " ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture arm64".

Any docs or hints on how to compile natively are greatly appreciated.

Post by: ska on July 30, 2024, 10:26:47 am
Hey mate,

I did in the meantime kinda the same trying to do a native one , so got the formulas working and even the compiling done, but then the app did nothing at startup – but I remember that there was something w OpenGL somewhere in this forum.

as said, not really a coder, just trying to follow the steps here and solve problems, so far not fully sucessfully. :D (but maybe your library copy could also solve that)

so far I am running now on intel 7.12.8 as it doesnt make too big of a diff for xcom anyway, but always happy to get something newer ;)

but still fun to see, how many ppl still mock around w good old TFTD

cheers,
m

If you use arm Brew and not Rosetta in terminal
# softwareupdate --install-rosetta --agree-to-license
# arch -x86_64 zsh
you should get native build by default, without any fixes.

thx for the new built and your info :)

so yeah, I used the native (I guess), at least haven't actively played around w Rosetta

so you say by using Rosetta and x86 u get a native build, that is Arm? sounds the other way around to a n00b like me.

are u using a Mac VM in parallels for that? why not native?

My way is:
0. Install Command Line Tools (maybe autoinstall on next step)
1. Install brew https://brew.sh
2. Install dependencies include missed in brew nowadays (smth like SDL1, with some magic)
3. Configure & build (I'm using attached script in preconfigured VM)

Or maybe cross-compilation, or other ways -- tell us if you win!

UPD. In theory, I can send you full brew dir for ARM\Sonoma -- and you'll be able to fix links and use missing deps.

Hi, I'd love to test/build/play OXCE on MacOS (Intel iMac) but I don't know how to convince Steam to download X-COM or TFTD so that I can copy out the game files. Does anyone have a suggestion?

I don't have a Windows system at home at present, and Steam on macOS just tells me I can't install the game. (Fair enough.)

I'd prefer not to have to buy the games again on GOG, but that would at least allow me to download the installers and hopefully extract the files OXCE needs…

Not asking for yo-ho-ho options.  :)
Title: Re: OXCE v7.14 MacOS
Post by: Yankes on October 27, 2024, 11:49:14 pm
You can try install Wine, I recall is available in mac too. then you can install steam in it and ask him to download Windows games.
Overall strange as Ufo and TFTD can't work on modern windows either, and need use DosBox and it should be available on every modern operating system.

Thank you Yankes, it looks like Wine version 9.13 was confirmed to run the Steam client on macOS 15 in August 2024[1], so fingers crossed, I can get this to work…

I see another no-cost option is the 14 day free trial of CodeWeavers CrossOver[2] (Wine with commercial support).

Absolute worst-case scenario I'm sure I can find a friend with Steam on Windows, log in to their Steam client and download the games…

Hi all, first thing, thanks craiz for the downloads of 8.1
Game for me in Sequoia Starts ok without any codesign or other commands, simply as is
Now the issues..
whan game starts, says 8.0.0 and not 8.1.0
If started with zero options, it runs ok
After setting all the options I normally use, it starts with a black screen, no music, nothing, and remain so until escape is pressed, then it exits
The options I activated are:
Area 51 / Area 51 patch
Aliens pick up weapons
Xcomutil Unlimited waypoints, Gun Melee, Starting Avalanches, High Explosive damage, Improved Ground Tanks, Improved Heavy Laser, Pistol auto shot, Starting Improved Base

How to revert from black screen?
Regards


EDIT, reading the log, I set the two Area51 to false and it starts again, now what about Area 51? this is the log

Now the issues..
whan game starts, says 8.0.0 and not 8.1.0

Hi Fox! You are always welcome! (:

Intel build 8.0 this time -- is my mistake.
Just now I rebuild and update correct version 8.1 -- you may try it, it's cool (:

Ok, all working now
my tries to remove trailing whitespaces didn't work until I try to do it via Notepad++
Thanks Meridian
