[Help] Mac compatibility

[Nuabo]

Does anyone here know how to make your map MAC compatibility? If so please share :thup:

 

[inevit4ble]

Does it really use a different file format for a map? something other than .w3x/.w3c/.w3n?

 

[Nuabo]

No it is .w3x

If you compress a icon in some way, the map crash at MAC but don't ask me how, because I don't know details

As a mac user i can asure you that all maps are compatible.

Are you sure that what's happening isn't just that the map is protected and you can't open it?

As for NewGen (vJass) ya, you must use windows or some really annoying alternatives

I know there is an issue with the GHost bots that often causes players using a mac to desync at the start. I'm not sure if this happens to all macs, but 100% of the people I've whispered after they desync off the bat say they use a mac.

No it isn't protected about vJass I am looking into it, but any other alternatives would be welcome .

I know of this but as far as I know it only happens relatively less then 50%

I downloaded Button Manager and played around with it in WINE, and finally got it to produce compatible icons. In the end, it didn't have anything to do with JPEG vs. paletted, or quality %.

You need to change the Mipmap count to 7. Then, change whatever settings you like; compressed, paletted, any % or number of colors. Then, press the button "For all borders". That is critical: without pressing that, it won't use the same settings when it automatically creates a disabled button.

Button manager for window :

--------------

also, if you use map protection tool, don't tick "encrypt hash" . it will cause instant crash for Mac if you use "encrypt hash" together with compress

Is there a more in-depth guide on how to use that?
