Mac Version?

Posts : 3 Join date : 2011-01-08

Is there any way you guys can make a mac version? I really want to buy the full version but I use a mac... :/

Thanks! :-)

Hello Nightpup,

Look here:
Mac OS

The real problem is that none of us have a mac Wink

if you tell me step by step what you need maybe we can make the mac version (slowly) :-)

Too much work right now:

1) Find memory offsets.
2) Convert all win api function into mac os similar ones. Like keyboard/mouse hooks.
3) Compile the project under mac os.

And.. you must have all the sources of our project that are not actually open source! Smile

Ahh haha. So there's pretty much no way i can get the program?

Well that's disappointing :/

Thanks though!

Even if the devs got a mac it would take a large amount of time to find the required memory offsets on a mac. Also there's no cheat engine for mac (nor ollydbg and I think ida costs money for mac), so the devs would need to learn to use new software to find the memory offsets. And even then it's an extremely time consuming process to find all the memory offsets.

And as far as I know the memory offsets change every time the game is updated, so this will need to be redone for every patch. pale

Hm atleast the "redone" can be skipped by coding an offset finder with pattern search.

Cheatengine isnt available for mac that is right, but there are other tools for offset searching and memory patching like iHex and "The Cheat".

But whatever, like Legionary said it is a hard way. The only "easy" one is that some of our members which have a mac go and search all these offsets, maybe together which a debugger and give it one of the devs. Also Mappro have to switch to a "cross system able" language. There are some ways do to that with c++ but at the end, it costs a large amount of time. bounce

In that case i'd prefer the devs just focus on the windows version and let mac users install windows on their mac xD

I shuggest going over to pocketgnome forums, there the biggest mac WoW botters all open source and free and tbh there pritty much the best bot out there especially if you are a donator u get hacks ( this does not affect the bot so its still just as good free) ask around there and see what happens.

Maybe a lite version? Without automation.. just the maphack would be great for me :/.. Automation and replay panel can come later..

Im a Linux user (Don't worry not even going to ask) as far as i know scanmem works on Mac the same way as Linux, and iv tried Hackintosh OS's on 3 computers now all have worked fine. Don't need a real Mac just need iAtkos! xD

If you have overlay troubles have a look at mumble's source code it has an overlay for Mac on starcraft and is BSD licenced, and a very good vent alternitave to boot

It isn't the money which is missing it is the time. But who knows, maybe someone is working on a version for mac already Cool

well once i get my license i'll test with wine and if that runs well it'll work on osx as well

works in wine!

the overlays have no transparency(but i might be able to fix that) but apart from that it works great
bot made all those drones and overlords n the screenshot.

You could easily do this with crossover games for mac.

Thank you very much for sharing your test!

thankyou for making an awesome bot Smile

I uploaded screenshots, i'll update when/if i fix transparency

Congrats. It seems (from your 2nd screenshot) that you will get trouble with the correct fitting of the map-layer on the map.

thats from the window size, if i move abit or go window (fullscreen) it aligns up properly

I swear i tried this before and got an error
What are your Wine version, kernel, graphics card and drivers?

Posts : 28 Join date : 2011-05-23

I used crossover games which is based on 1.3.9 (i haven't tried 1.3.15+ yet)

NVIDIA Driver 195.36.24 (stable, ubuntu standard)
GeForce GTS 360M 1024 MB

The only error i got was SC2 version was incorrect but that was because i was missing a .dat file from the beta 2 zip.

It did actually crash at first but that was because you need the VC++ 2008 Redstrib installed

» Patch Version 2.0.7
» Invalid Version
