Post Installing Mods On a Mac
Iv'e read how to install a mod in mod releases So I showed package contents, went to Content/Resources/ and dumped all the mods and scenes I I downloaded there. For example I put G4K.rte in there which is gold for kill in the resources folder, but the game crashed loading the index.ini first thing. The same thing happened whenever I put anything in there.

So I'm thinking, maybe I'm doing something wrong?

EDIT: I know I'm doing something wrong, but not sure what.

Moved your topic for ya -D

well when its loading the .ini it will say failed to load.. at line _ this means one of the file paths isnt correct. You should try and figure out which mod is doing this and then scan the index.ini for typos like a \ insted of an / some mods do that on macs trust me i know.

It fails on the very first file it tries to load, the index.ini, on EVERY mod I have tried (Like 10).

The abort dump image says that it fails on line 1 of index.ini on every mods.

are you sure there isn't supposed to be a mods.rte folder under resources that you put all your mods in? In the installing mods thread it says put the mods in Contents/Resources/etc. What does he mean by etc? etc implies that we know what the directory should be and there is something more than Contents/Resources/.

EDIT: It has become apparent to me that any mod that tries to load .lua files fail. Why would this be? I've checked the file paths and they are correct is .lua's for windows only?

P.S The latest mac version is 22 not 23

Theres a couple probs:
1. Build22 might 99% of the time will not work with any of lua mods
2. mac sometimes has bugs with the .ini

I suggest u only get a mod thats ma cand b22 compatible, usually theirs a post somewhere in the 874875 pages of the topic where a user generously fixed it for mac users.

A bit late.
Anyway, that was just a temporary problem where Data forgot to update the link on the games page. The downloads page had a link to the latest build. It has been fixed now, however.
