Mac OSX Executable Issues

  • RCAProduction     8th May 2016 Member 0 Permalink

    Notable issues for the current Mac executable:

     

    1. Textboxes (Such as leaving comments) do not adjust size for the text. Typed text simply overlaps other elements on the screen, such as buttons and images. 

    2. Comments do not scroll using mouse, keys, or mouse wheel.

    3. Occasionally acts unstable and bluescreens for no reason. A most notable occasion was when it had so many problems that the bluescreen appeared and then also glitched in and out of vision. 

     

    Not sure what's going on for any of these... It seems rather impossible unless CPP suddenly removed functions from its library or the compiler just skipped over a file. 

     

    If you could please fix these issues, it would be much appreciated.

    The third problem sounds like an issue with 91.0 / 91.1, but i'm pretty sure I fixed that already. What actions are you doing that cause that, opening saves?
    The other two are interesting, I will have to investigate those. Do other people also get those problems? Also you can scroll comments by dragging the scrollbar on the right side.

    I also find that on my mac (OSX El Capitan), I also can't scroll through textboxes.

    Well, that's part of the issue. There is no bar on the right at all. 

     

    As for the glitching, it seems to be localized to opening saves on the computer (ctrl+open) and sometimes stamps (but less often).

    My Mac won't even start Powder Toy.

    UPDATE: I compiled TPT myself, and everything works just fine! It looks like it's your compiler Jabob. Not sure what could be going wrong, but there is something. Tombuutkamp, PM me if you want a folder with a working version. I can help get everything working. For that matter, any Mac users are welcome.

    I would rather use my own version, once I eventually fix it. Maybe I should use a better compiler, I've known for a while mine is pretty bad.

    Also I see now you mentioned glitchiness when ctrl+ opening saves. That's actually a crash bug in all versions of tpt right now (fixed in latest source).

    Also, tombuutkamp's issue is a separate problem.

    Yeah, the direct download from this website doesn't work. I compiled it myself, and it seems to work fine. Jacob, your compiler must be bad. Also, is the .dmg download thing new? I thought it always downloaded as a .zip or something.
