hun Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Installing CMBO and CMBB caused no problems. The problem is with the graphics : the text in the game seems to be black. So following things do not appear : detailed unit info, amount of ammo,...Actually every text against a black background is invisible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pzman Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 What kind of Video card do you have? I'm guessing that its either a ATI 8MB or 16MB VRAM card, which were standard in 1999 for most Macs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hun Posted February 8, 2005 Author Share Posted February 8, 2005 It is a 16 MB card, a standard one (for a 400 MHz processor) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DS Phelps Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Hey hun. (Seems strange to say that.) I have a mac too, and your question jogged something in my memory. On page 168 of the BO manual it says, "Some users of iMac, G3, and G4 computers might have a problem displaying text as "white" and instead show it as "black." If this is happening to you, you will need to use MacOS 9.1 or greater to fix a video driver bug in earlier versions." Hope this helps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicky Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Have you got the the latest for Os9 ATI drivers and firmware. Also try getting an aftermarket ATI 7500 32mb Radeon which is the optimum card for CM for Macs. Do you have AGP? OS9.2.2 from Apple? Like your website - CM has room here for more quality mod artists!

Schrullenhaft Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Strangely this problem is related to the OpenGL extension (as far as I can tell). OS 9.1 is supposed to come with version 1.2.1 of the OpenGL extension which fixes this text problem (according to this thread). You may want to check your system folder and find out what version of the extension you're using and make sure that you are loading it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hun Posted February 9, 2005 Author Share Posted February 9, 2005 The downloaded version 1.2.1 solved the problem ! Thank you, Schrull And thanks to all of you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
