Let's hope the few Mac guys remaining here will see this!

I bumped the mac threads from those who were interested so they would see it

[Sadface]

Thank you! Thank you thank you thank you!

i see you found a workaround.

[Kurton]

This is amazing to finally have... But every time I try to select "enemy" in the Entities drop-menu, it hangs indefinitely. Is this a Mac-specific bug? Does it happen to anyone else?

[jens]

Yes I could recreate it now. It works the first time, then if you close and open the editor again it will hang.

A temporary workaround is to clear the temp and thumbnail folder, in ~Library/Application Support/Frictional Games/HPL2/ then it will work again. Then when you start a new map, the first thing you do is add enemies to your map, so you have them for later without having to use the entity list.

[Urkle]

Hmm.. That's strange.. I'm looking into it.

Jens, did you encounter this on other platforms??? IT seems to get hung up in the scanning of files.

[Kurton]

Another problem is that after random crashes, the 'Open' browser puts itself back at the system root, and I have to type out the path to my map by hand, since if I try to navigate back to the Amnesia.app (Or anywhere else) I get this:



EDIT: Well, if I re-open it, open the map in question, then quit normally, it keeps it in Open Recent, so that kinda helps... Otherwise it wasn't staying there for some reason. :I

The Linux version has the same problems, except it crashes instead of hanging. See this thread.
