Tremulous Mac Help Please!

[MiniWheatz]

Hey all this is my first time posting.   

I have Tremulous installed on my PowerBook G4 (a Mac laptop).  I downloaded Trem from the apple website just fine, and I can play and all that great stuff.  I just have a problem with downloading maps and other items.

When I download a map (as a .pk3 file, i think), my Mac gives me the message that "the BASE folder cannot be modified.... you do not hae sufficient priviliges...." and blah blah blah.  So basically I can't download maps.  Is this my computer, or is it because I'm running Trem on a Mac? 

Another problem that I have is creating a server.  I go into the game, click on "create server," get all of my stuff set up and then I start it up.... and it crashes.  Every time.  I figured out another way that doesn't crash, typing /devmap atcs or whatever in the console, and I can play online with others, but then I have to reset all of the BPs and stuff every game.

What is happening with the maps and downloads?  I would appreciate any help you guys could give my on this.

Thanks.    Go Grangers!

I'm on a Mac too, and have no such problems. Try adjusting your permissions. Also, get an SVN client, then we'll talk

When I look at the permissions, they just are blanked out and I dont think that there is any way to change them.  And what is an SVN client? 

Is it just that my computer is too old and lame?

Thanks.

I am going to guess that you are playing out of the disk-image.  Hold down the <option> key and drag the disc image into "Applications".  Also, I recommend that you just download maps IN-GAME.  In the console, type "cl_allowDownload 1" and "cl_wwwDownload 1".

Oooh. Nice one Doomagent, didn't even think of that one.

If that's not it, what model computer do you  have, Wheatz?
