how to patch the OSX Version ?

[iRichard]

Hi.

I just downloaded the patch.
I de-tgzed it.
I launched the obtained file 'dominions2'.
I launched dom2
Well, no change it says "Version 2.02".

Did I miss a step ?

Seems like some instructions are missing.

You have to replace the old dominions files with the respective new ones from the new dominions app bundle.

Well, I hope for you that the "keep things user-friendly" commando from apple don't have your address.

Thanks for the answer

I'm not an OSX user, so feel free to instruct in how to do it the proper way!

Here is a little scipt which should work (it worked for me)

I'm assuming that the old dom2 installation is inside a folder named "oldDom". oldDom, dominions2*, and the patch should be in the same folder.

*dominions2 : file obtained after decompressing the patch "dompatch206_osx.tar.gz"

code:

#!/bin/bash

DOM_PATH="./oldDom/dominions2.app/Contents"

PATCH_PATH="./dominions2.app/Contents"



#echo "$DOM_PATH"

#echo "$PATCH_PATH"



sudo cp $PATCH_PATH/MacOS/dominions2 $DOM_PATH/MacOS/

sudo chmod 755 $DOM_PATH/MacOS/dominions2



sudo cp $PATCH_PATH/Resources/*trs $DOM_PATH/Resources/

sudo cp $PATCH_PATH/Resources/maps/*map $DOM_PATH/Resources/maps



exit 0

note : this script will ask for the password and it must be launched as an administator (wheel group in OSX)
