Hello,
I installed the classic client, put exceptions in java configuration. (I have java 8 update 60)
I can launch the game, interact with menus, move object in my inventory, but i cannot move my character, when i click on the ground nothing happens.
In my inventory i can left click and right click, eat and study things.
So i dont know what is the problem. I can even move the camera with middle mouse button.

When i install custom client (latikai). When i launch the client, doing open with "java web start", client start to download, then i have warning saying this publisher is not trusted. I check the box launch it anyway. And then i have a message asking to install java runtime environment. But it s already installed... Even if i click on the button to reinstall it, i have same problem. And client doesn't launch.

If anyone has any idea.

I usually play on PC, i have this mac for work reason, and can't actually reach my PC.

1) mapview issues ( clicking in the game world )
I haven't given too much attention to Mac-related threads, but I recall there being issues when the colour depth is set incorrectly. The search function is being a bit asinine at the moment (it always is, refusing to search on three-letter words), so maybe someone else can get you a link.

2) custom client issues
Weird. For the record, the launcher uses java webstart (javaws.exe/javaws). Your java installation downloads the requisite files (=launcher code) to start the launcher. THIS launcher then downloads the various files required for the client and starts a java process with the correct file. Apparently something is broken in the last step. Are you able to start the client by launching the jar ? (The jar is located in something like /usr/Burseig/Salem/lib/lsalem.jar) NOTE: if this starts then you won't be able to log in as it does not have the correct server settings. If this is able to start the client (get to the log-in screen), then you can use a shell script to start your client (posted below) -- but really it points to something being wrong with your java installation.

Linux launcher script: (not entirely sure whether it'll be completely the same on Mac, as I only ever work on Windows and Linux)

Code: Select all

nohup javaw -jar lsalem.jar -U http://game.salemthegame.com/res/ game.salemthegame.com&

Thanks for your help.
You re right i have the problem others had with clicking the 3D world, cause i can move by clicking the minimap...

So, by clicking the jar file i can launch and get the login screen. As you said, it doesnt work.
So i tried the terminal.

nohup java -jar lsalem.jar -U http://game.salemthegame.com/res/ game.salemthegame.com&
instead of

nohup javaw -jar lsalem.jar -U http://game.salemthegame.com/res/ game.salemthegame.com&

was a typo right?

And doing this i get the same message asking to install java runtime environment...



About the 32bit thing there is this thread viewtopic.php?f=10&t=15490&hilit=32bit

I didnt try to change screen settings yet, can try tomorrow.
But later in thread someone suggest to

remove jdk1.8.0_51.jdk under
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines

Well this folder is ermpty for me, so nothing to delete.

Ok, so i was able to launch latikai client, by installing a downgraded version of java.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/ ... 33151.html

But in latikai i still cannot move, even by clicking the minimap this time.

Will try the 32bits thing tomorrow. Now my bed is calling me.

Problem solved.
Had to install jdk1.6
And now i can move in 3D world.

@the commandline I gave: javaw will work as well: javaw is the headless version of java (will not spawn a terminal) and hence preferred when using launchers to start up your program. Again, assuming OSX is similar to Linux in this respect.

Apparently not 'cause the javaw told me no such file or directory (if i remember correctly, or can't find directory)
