Im having a problem with the DF hack plugins in the Mac newbie launcher i will not let me select the plugins

This should be fixed in next version. (0.10.3)

I'm having a problem attempting to load a vanilla DF save file into macnewbie. I followed the directions above, but df hangs with a small black window on top of the main game window while loading the raw files.

If I drop my vanilla save in unmodified and launch without changing the graphics or updating the save it runs until I hit B for Build, and then crashes. comment last edited by vorpaldinger on Jan 14, 2016, 11:30:44 pm

Was your save generated with 42.04, or some other previous version? The instruction will only work with 42.04, as a lot of save breaking raw changes were added with this version. With an older save your only viable import option is to manually update your save raws to use your preferred graphics:
You can find most versions in the LNP graphic repo, select your desired graphic, find the releases tab and grab your version. Then overwrite the files (NOT the folder!!) in save/regionx/raws/objects, and (optionally) the save/regionx/raws/graphics folder. Copy this prepared save into Macnewbie, install graphics in the launcher, but say no to update saves.

I think the crash is related to Truetype fonts, try disabling them ingame with F12, or by switching Print Mode to STANDARD in the graphics tab of the launcher.

Yes, it was a 42.04 file. You were right about the TTF crash, Print Mode Standard has fixed it.

Hmm, ok. Which graphics pack is it?

The graphics pack is Spacefox16. when I copy Dwarf Fortress/raw/installed_raws.txt into save/mysave/raw, run update, and then load the game, I have the freeze with a small black window on top of the DF window while the save game is loading. If I revert back to my save before updating the game will load, but there are various tiles that seem to be out of place (dwarf tiles are sort of featureless, solid-color dwarves). comment last edited by vorpaldinger on Jan 15, 2016, 02:42:48 pm

Yes, the mismatched tiles are to be expected with a vanilla save in Spacefox.
I still suspect your save is from 42.03, what you describe usually happens with modded games, or when Toady changes a lot, like between .03 -›04.

Try the manual update method I proposed above. Get Spacefox-42.03 version, unzip it, and overwrite the files (NOT the folder!!) in save/regionx/raws/objects, and the save/regionx/raws/graphics folder. Copy this prepared save into Macnewbie, install graphics in the launcher, but say no to update saves.

I followed your instructions: "To use this pack on 10.6 you need to delete Dwarf Fortress/hack/libstdc++.6.dylib."
I'm running 10.6.8 while my Windows machine is being rebuilt, but deleting that file didn't let me launch the, er... Launcher. Is it the hardware? Do I need to find a different way to play? I've been dying to get started, please help.

I tried downloading from both mirrors. In both cases, my Mac protected me from the file saying that it contained Malware. Specifically it said that it contained OSX.GenieoDropper.A Looking a bit around the internet found some people complaining about false positives with the latest release. Not sure the best way to get around this.

After scanning the file to be sure it was a false positive, I was able to get around this warning by removing the quarantine attribute:

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine MacNewbie\ Launcher.app/

When i open the launcher it immediately crashes. EXEC, [0xc] This UPX compressed binary contains an invalid Mach-O header and cannot be loaded.

Mac with Sierra and the app crash immediately:(

the version 0.9.18 with df 40.24 works like a charm....the 0.10.3a crash:(

Is there any sign of a fix for this yet?

problem is with Sierra and upx

Hey, I found a way to fix the macOSX sierra crashing: The Exception code is a Mach-0 header, It is caused because http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26559948/found-an-unexpected-mach-o-header-code-1918975009-in-xcode-6. Would be nice if you'd fix it.
