FA:Forever in macOS via Crossover

Postby TERMtm » 05 Jul 2012, 06:34

Iv'e been working on getting FA working on my mac, sofar got decently far in getting it to run however ran into a snag. When I try to execute the FAF client I have a pre-login error .matplotlib fails to be written and it crashes. The reason for this is that Crossover2 extends the actual windows filesystem into mac's own; the problem, however, is that in mac's filesystem, a leading period in a filename is forbidden. Would you guys be willing to work with me in order to get this working; I'll be assembling a tutorial for you guys once I have it up.

I'm aware, but that isn't a problem, that's my job. What I'm asking you is if the systems filenames imperatively need to have leading periods and if you guys can work with me to get the source code tidbits out of the way.
