This happens in windowed mode for me (iMac user). But not in full screen. I did report the bug - it seems it is a bug since you also have experienced it.

That's unfortunate for me, since I can't seem to get this thing to run in full screen mode. Darn. It's a little frustrating.

That seems unfortunate. I believe it is a bug in SDL that is causing this. Maybe you could try to download and install the quite new SDL Version 1.2.7 for www.libsdl.org . The SDL on the Dominions CD is old.

I use the SDL framework that comes with the demo, and can run in full-screen mode.

I also experience incorrect mouse position in windowed mode. It is not random, it is inverted (move the mouse up, and where the app thinks the pointer is moves down). But left-right is not inverted. An underlying byte-order issue? Perhaps.

I apparently have some Version of sdl on my machine somewhere as the app will start up without the SDL framework, and has correct mousing in windowed mode. But, it crashes when you get to "start game."

Wow! Thanks Dom2 team! I'm totally stoked that you managed to get a fix for the mac osx bad mouse problem into the current patch. I tried it and it seems to work ok. There is still a minor x-axis problem -- I'd say that the mouse is still above its clickable location by about x+20pixels. Still minorly annoying, but totally playable. I'm heading off now to play a game.

Thanks guys. We the fans do appreciate it.

oops. I noticed that if I set my res to 640 400 then the x-axis mouse position is perfect.

Since this appears to be the OS X thread, can someone give me the proper instructions to the process of getting a mod to work ( (under OS X, just be absolutely clear)?

I've tried moving the hoburg alliance to the mods dir in the dominions 2 dir (hoburg.dm and the hoburgdata dir) but that doesn't seem to give me access to the mod. Just in case, I tried to put a copy of the HoburgAlliance dir in there as well, but that didn't give me access to the mod either. Am I just misreading something?

thanks

wombatsSAR - feel good about yourself, rescue a wombat.

Umm, nevermind. I worked out my difficulty. However, am I allowed to whine that the modding.pdf file doesn't mention anything about going under the perferences menu and turning on the particular mods of interest?
