Default Re: Dominions II: Technical/Hardware Issues

10.3, odd. I wonder if it's also hardware linked.

OK: I don't have time today to go into great detail, and I'm not in front of my Mac to check things, but here goes:

- if you right-click or control-click on an application, most will give you a "show package contents" option which lets you see into the application's guts

- (I think you need to install custom maps this way in dom2 as well--I forget)

- once you're inside the dom2 app, you can see the actual executable application and figure out its full path

- then, from the Terminal application, you can run the app by typing the full path to the executable (just like in Linux); at this point you can add command-line options

- if it works, you can then (if you are ambitious) write an Applescript to start the game with the switches, and you can save the Applescript as a double-clickable application itself

One still wonders why you'd see this issue, though...I would have thought that if you're running 2.16, it would be far behind you.
