This topic is made to have all the errors in the Mac binaries for FalckonET 0.4.5. The update is not yet on the servers, but should be tested locally. If you know someone with an online server, ask him if he could be so kind to host the updated FalckonET mod for testing purposes. (Of course, we would apreciate it even more if they keep hosting the mod 24/7 )
We were unable to do so and apreciate it if you would aid in testing.
As soon as we got reports that the binaries are quite safe (read: no 'random' crashes), we'll ask the online server to update. Once they un the Mac update, you could be able to connect to them.

but i am able to connect to the server that is posted here and play
ERROR: characters/temperate/axis/soldier.char, line 5: unknown token 'weaponskin'
I'll have to look up what the exact problem is, but unless the mod binaries don't get loaded, it has nothing to do with the binaries themselves.
You should check if you're really running FalckonET, I'll look up the debug instructions. [ Edited Thu Jan 19 2006, 07:40AM ] "And remember, Respect is everything!" - GTA2

thats it, that also happens to me when want to open up a server.
but my little test session yesterday went well, i haven't found any bugs when you are client only. "Good Game!" Computers are like Air-Conditioners. They stop working properly when you open Windows.
There should be 3 tests to make sure the mod works completely on Mac: 1) Connect from a mac to a PC server. (what you tried and succeeded) 2) Running a server only (failing for the moment) 3) Running a non-listening server (aka: starting a local server by running /map in your normal ET's console)
So everything seems to work clientside. Laffer said those binaries needed to be 'packed' or something similar. Maybe this needs to be done for the server code as well before it can work.
If you want to try some online games, you can allso connect to 69.28.221.92:27960. It has the mac binaries so that it won't complain you got a wrong version of mp_bin.pk3.
We'll look into the server code, and I'll modify the current update .zip file. Server admins who aren't using a Mac can put the current update on their servers if we got some more Mac people able to connect to an updated server.

I could post in the german [link] community to get some more macgamers knowing falckon.

Whilst I want to thank you for the post on MacUser.de, you forgot to meantion 1 thing: the server running on 69.28.221.92:27960 is setup as a test-server. Baltar said it would be up most of the time, but he didn't guarantee it. "And remember, Respect is everything!" - GTA2
