Hey Felix — sorry I didn’t see this sooner.

The port I have says it runs on OS X 10.4 and up. I’ve only got 10.5 and 10.6 machines around here but I’ll try to rustle up a 10.4 machine or maybe set Tiger up in a VM and see if I can duplicate. Unfortunately I’m pretty busy with life stuff that keeps me away from keyboards, but I’ll take a shot at it in the next week or two.

There appears to be a new source for ZDoom builds, so it might be time to update the post anyway.

I’m sorry if this seems to be a bother, but each time I try to run ZDoom off this port, whether or not I have the action or action2 wads in the side bar, it only opens up a window that’s titled “ZDoom OS X Console”, nothing more. Is there something I’m doing wrong here, or is this particular port for leopard and up? I’m running 10.4.11, if that’s any consolation. Thank you for bothering to read through this.

Thanks a lot, man. Finally got it working. Seems the link to the IWAD was broken as well, here’s an updated one.

Gary –

Looks like the ZDoom crew are working on a new release. In the meantime I’ll see if I can find my binary and pack it up into an archive that doesn’t totally violate its license’s terms for redistribution. Watch this space. [EDIT: Added a mirror to the main article.]

Hey, David — thanks for the screencap, it helped. You’re putting all the files in an Application Support folder, which looks

You need to put Zdoom OS X.app in “iMac/Applications.” Then, take that zdoom folder out of “iMac/Library/Application Support/” and put it in “iMac/Users/david/Library/Application Support/“. Yes, there are two folders with the same name in different areas of the directory system.

You SHOULD, in theory, be able to put the files in that one, but zdoom only looks in the one for the individual user account. If you have several user accounts on this machine and they all want to play Action DOOM, they’re going to have to have those files in each user account. There might be a way around this with symbolic links and the Shared directory, but I imagine you want to actually start playing the game in the next ten minutes, not get a Unix lesson.
