Green Berets OSX

[girvincn]

Alrighty folks - here's the situation. I have owned Myth 2 and Green Berets for quite some time, but haven't played GB since updating to OS X. I updated probably 3 years ago, and had a spot of trouble getting Myth 2 to work, but eventually I did it. Now I've had the hankering of playing the singleplayer for GB. Any tips on how to do this? I haven't been able to figure it out!
Thanks in advance!

You have done the usual GB thang, and activated the proper plugins for soloplay I assume? (2 as I recall, the tagset and the solomissions were seperate plugins)?

Are you getting errors when you play or are you not seeing the GB levels when you activate the plugins in the solo level selection window? If the former, mb copy and paste your mythlog file here.

I believe GB modified Patch 1.3, which is a no-no for current Myth II.

Someone would need to extract it, and make it a standalone plugin.

Thanks for the replies. Basically - I haven't done anything. I put the GB CD into my computer and opened it. The resulting folder had no auto-install sort of thing, which I would need as I don't really know what else to do.

I could have sworn I have played some GB on OSX in the past year (solo), but I could be wrong. And come to think of it, I do have about 10 Myth installs on my HD so the GB install of Myth could be a 1.2.x install.

If that is the case, then Green Berets WILL work fine under OS X (at least 10.2), you just have to use an older version of Myth.

When I am home at the machine that has GB on it I can check if it actually works and post the config/version# and list the contents of the Myth tags folder if it would be of any help.

That would be great - thanks! Basically what you're saying though, is that I should install Myth again, don't update it, and then drag the GB files into the Myth plugins folder?

Oh damn. I just tried to install a separate copy of Myth to leave un-updated, but I don't know how to install in OS X. It was 2 years ago that I did this...it just says it can't open the installer because I don't have classic mode.

Alrighty - I now have a copy of 1.5 and a separate copy of 1.6 on my computer. Green Berets is working. Thanks for the help! Now, another question. I tried putting the Jinn mappack and tagset in the 1.5 plugins folder. When I start up the first level, the little bar loads until it's about 1/20th of the way from completing. It then stays on that black screen with the bar almost complete until I hit escape. When I do this, it shows me the level and the units, but I cannot do anything with them. All I can do is hit escape and then quit. Not even resume works. What's with this?
