EB for Macintosh - questions & support thread

[Totoro]

Currently all of EB is contained in a folder called EB. If you look inside you will find it is just a collection of files in folders laid out exactly like the main game data folder. If you move all the EB files into the correct location inside the main game data folder if you start up the standard game it will load EB not Rome.

As the game thinks it is running Rome not EB it will use the (Apple allowed) Rome save game location allowing you to save your progress. However this will take a little trial and error to get right.

The Mac App Store runs by Apple's rules and modding is tricky with all the codesigning and security rules Apple demand for MAS releases. I will see if I can get an Apple store compatible version in the future so you don't have to do all this manually.

Thanks for all the work porting EB. It really makes an excellent game out of the RTW engine.

I've been tinkering and figuring out how to do what you describe above. So far, I merged the EB directory into the original data one, overwriting the original files. (Really merged, not mac-replaced).

I opened the preference folder from the startup dialogue and found that many of the EB subfolders that are not in the "data" directory are there... Those that were not I put there anyway for lack of a better option.

I got to the screen where you choose your faction, making the computer think EB is the original... and then CTD.

Any advice would be very welcome.
