Both TMC and I have been able to reproduce this same problem on our own Macs, so hopefully we will be able to figure it out soon.

Sorry we still don't have nightly Mac builds, or any improved mac builds up at all. After a number of bizarre problems we finally managed to get the OHR to compile on James' machine, but for some other crazy reason his builds crash :(

Today I figured out why Custom can't delete its working.tmp, and why it's throwing all these errors in the first place. Relumping RPGs was broken. I'll put up a new build tomorrow. That'll also include the MIDI looping fix.

I tried out your Tetris and it was perfectly responsive, and ran at full speed. The titlescreen hit 100% CPU though (so the OHR does run quite a bit slower on Macs). Either it is running much much slower on your machine, or there is some other reason for any laggyness. (You can check how much CPU time a program uses by running "top" in a Terminal, though there's probably some native Mac program for it)

OK! Here we go!
http://tmc.castleparadox.com/ohr/ohrrpgce-macosx-2010-10-12-wip.tar.bz2
(You should be able to open that file with Finder)

Changes:
* saving/creating a RPG now works
* some other small bug fixes
* Custom and Game now packaged as App bundles
* SDL and SDL_mixer frameworks no longer needed
* hspeak is included
* SDL_mixer MIDI loop bug fixed
* all shortcut keys, eg. Cmd-Shift-? now work
* a couple weeks of new nightly features :)

Still left to do:
* One crash reported, and I saw one too
* oggenc and madplay not included (needed for importing MP3 and WAV music and sound effects). See the original post for a possible workaround
* capslock doesn't work in the sprite editors
* I just noticed the help files aren't packaged in the way that I intended, but they still seem to work? I'm not sure that I actually tested
* A more native packaging than .bz2 files

Updated again, I did screw up the help files
http://tmc.castleparadox.com/ohr/ohrrpgce-macosx-2010-10-13-wip.tar.bz2

Changed:
* Custom can now find the help files
* oggenc included, so you can import WAVs. You can't import MP3s yet.
* Help menu no longer shown in Game
* relump and unlump utilities included

No progress on getting automatic nightly builds running.

This is amazingly awesome! Thanks so much, TMC!

BLAAAAAAAA!

OHR on Macs!!!! This is the coolest invention since ... zones!!!
My day is made!
You have made me a very happy manbaby!

Edit: Can I compile scripts in the Mac OS, or do I still have to do that avec les FenÃªtres?

I'm also trying out these zones.
How is it that you restrict NPC movement to a certain zone? Do you set it in the NPC editor (I couldn't find it)?

Yes, you can compile scripts; hspeak is included, and I tested that it's working. I'm not sure if it's possible to drag and drop your script files onto it like you can in Windows, so you might have to run it from Terminal. Of course, we're eventually going to let you invoke HSpeak from within Custom.

Sorry about the confusion around zones. I haven't done anything on them since adding the editor: they currently can't be used to do anything. See the thread about them in The Arcade.

Using the terminal? Ok.
Uh, how? I go to the directory and type "./hspeak blubla.hss" ?

Hm, I tried that, and I'm getting weird errors.

The beginning of my script is mind bogglingly mundane and looks like this:

Oh yeah. James mentioned this bug a few days ago: nightly builds of HSpeak on Unix don't like Windows/DOS newlines. I should go fix it.

Instead of waiting for a fix, you could convert your line endings somehow, such as by running in Terminal

I do not understand Linuxpeak.
What does that do exactly?

Also, I don't think it worked - I'm getting the same error.
Your magic words created duplicates of all my scripts and labeled them *.hss-e. Both duplicates give me the same error :-(

Uh...

It's meant to run all your script files through a sed script which deletes all the \r characters. I blame its failure on differences between GNU and BSD/Apple sed and xargs; works fine for me.

Fine, you could try this utility (or Textmate, or Emacs, or Xcode, or...):

~~I am pretty sure there was a typo somewhere in that unix command that TMC gave you. It doesn't work for me.~~ EDIT: oops! Yes, TMC already caught his typo before I finished posting this

Here is how to check the line endings on a file. from the terminal, type:
