Starting tremulous
« on: October 13, 2009, 05:36:08 am »
I am running on a mac just so you know.

When I try to start tremulous it attempts to start but then it just quits, do I have to re-install or is it a setting?

there is no error message there is no window that opens, i see the program attempt to open because in the upper left on the bar up there it says Tremulous but then it just quits. If there is a specific file you need please ask but other than that there is nothing that i can give because there is nothing to give.

Run it directly from command line and post the output.

Sorry to sound a little slow but I don't know what command to use. I used open -a Tremulous and it did the same thing.

That is why you need to start tremulous from the command line so that we can have an idea of what is wrong and help you fix it. Until then you won't recieve any help.

Yes, he's already been shown how to open the terminal, he needs to know how to run trem.
Any mac users around who know where it gets installed to?

Wherever you drop it - could be anywhere.  So here's how you could do it:

  • Open Terminal
  • Open Finder to wherever you have the Tremulous app installed, as if you were going to double click and run it.  If it's in your Dock, Control-Click it and select "Show in Finder"
  • In the Terminal window, type 'cd ' (that's 'cd' followed by a space)
  • Drag the Tremulous icon from Finder to the Terminal window
  • Press Return

Now you're in the Tremulous app bundle, wherever you put it.  From there, 'cd Contents/MacOS' will take you to where the actual executable lives, and './Tremulous' will run it.

Another way to get the console, unless it's changed (I don't think it has) is to run Console (should be in /Applications/Utilities) and look in there.  I forget where it's hiding now, might be under "Console messages", you'll see "tremulous" followed by some text, that's the console output that people are looking for here.

EDIT: Yep, it's under Console messages:

I just remembered, it could do with a bind i set up. the bind was this

Quote
/bind = "say ^3I have to go now. Bye;wait;quit"

If this is the problem than how do I unbind that?

From the aforementioned Terminal window:
Code: [Select]
mv ~/Library/Application\ Support/Tremulous/base/autogen.cfg ~

This will move the autogen.cfg file from your library to your home directory, where Tremulous will ignore it.  If that works, then you can open that file with a text editor to see what binds you had set and what not, and add them to the newly-created file since the game will make a new one when you next quit.

Alternatively, if you're feeling frisky and/or have a lot of binds you don't want to lose, edit that file with your favorite text editor and remove the offending line (probably the one you mentioned, or something near it).  But if the 'mv' command doesn't work, you can always move the file back later and try that (with "mv ~/autogen.cfg ~/Library/Application\ Support/Tremulous/base/")
