OS X Patch Problems

Hey Thanks! I know nothing about SDL, but I was able to find the latest version, and it worked.

How does one use those command line switches? Are they somehow entered in Terminal?

I know nothing about OSX, so I can't help there. Check the troubleshoot threads, or search for that command. Someone has probably asked that exact same question before.

So why do you need the switches when upgrading SDL worked for you?

Pasha may be a lawyer, but he thinks like a scientist... He doesn't need a reason!

Yes, entered in Terminal. Might look something like this:
cd ~/Desktop/Dominions2/dominions2.app/Contents/Resources/
../MacOS/dominions2 -r 1920 1200

You need to start the game from dominions2.app/Contents/Resources/ or else nagot gick fel. But the game app is in dominions2.app/Contents/MacOS/ so that's why you need the first line and the ../MacOS/ in the second line... Incidentally, the above (on one line separated by a semicolon) inside double quotes and preceded by "do shell script" (not in quotes) makes a dandy AppleScript that you can use instead of the .app if you want to play at high resolution...

Yah... I was just curious about the switches and whether they would be useful to me. Ultimately, I am too unfamiliar with the Unix stuff and apple scripts. Thanks for the explanation, however.
