Dr. Zhivago Posted September 30, 2000 Share Posted September 30, 2000 Howdy, I'm in something of a pickle. I love Combat Mission... and I love the Mac OS X Public Beta. However, as CM doesn't seem to work in Classic (even if it did, no 3D acceleration), I have to restart into Mac OS 9 whenever I need my fix. This is more than a wee bit annoying, especially if I have servers running on X which I can't have going down. Any word on when Combat Mission will be Carbonized? It'll have to happen sooner or later... X will be Apple's main OS by the time CM2 comes out. Thanks, Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Bates Posted September 30, 2000 Share Posted September 30, 2000 Zhhivago, If you buy (or have already got) a CD writer, you could put System 9 onto a CD - making sure you have the extensions right - and then run Combat Mission like that.

Dr. Zhivago Posted October 1, 2000 Author Share Posted October 1, 2000 Not to be rude, but you must have misunderstood my post. Combat Mission will not run in Classic. If I have OS 9 on my HD, it will still be Classic. If I have it on a CD, it will still be Classic. If I have it on a FireWire drive, it will still be Classic. No matter what media I store 9 on, I still have to restart into it to run CM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted October 1, 2000 Share Posted October 1, 2000 Though I obviously can't speak for BTS in any official capacity... I believe that CM2 will probably be "Carbonized", but that CMBO will not be. It will probably take quite a bit of programming to carbonize CM (a good number of RAVE calls may have to be changed, etc.). This may be beyond what Charles would want to do for a patch. So I would guess that Charles will look into the compatibility issues to get CM2 to run under OS X (still using RAVE as the API). At some point, I guess, Charles will look into using OpenGL as the API instead of RAVE (and possibly DirectX, depending on the availability of OpenGL and most cards ability to "accelerate" it).

jeffsmith Posted October 1, 2000 Share Posted October 1, 2000 OSX installs a few extensions into your OS9 in extensions Mgr disable the new extension called "Classic Rave" CM will run again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aka_tom_w Posted October 2, 2000 Share Posted October 2, 2000 I believe this has laso been discussed in the Tech forum. check there also. I believe JeffSmith is correct, you must disable the "Calssic Rave" in the extensions panel and it should be no problem. -tom w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Aitken Posted October 2, 2000 Share Posted October 2, 2000 There is a fix for this, but even if there weren't, don't forget the 'beta' bit. You can't expect OS X to work properly at this stage, and if you're serious about your computer you should really be sticking with OS 9 until X is finalised.
