Worms Armageddon CrossWeavers on Mac OSX

[Lukigi]

OK, it seems that worms has the EXACT same problem with all other systems and there seems to be a patch for them, I can't find one for mine though.

What I have done is installed Crossweaver trial onto my fairly new MacBook Pro. I inserted my worms armageddon pc disk and crossweavers managed to install it fine onto my Mac.

The problem arose when I y'know, wanted to play the game. I load it up using codeweavers, it goes into full screen, then I am left with an empty box with the directX symbol on the top bar, taking up the whole screen (except for the sides, but y'know it doesn't have widesceen). I tried pressing the obvious buttons, when I pressed spacebar, the window disappeared and was replaced with another blank one, this time with 'Worms Armageddon' at the top. I try pressing it again and nothing happens, but when I press some of the other buttons I get some worm noises?

I've looked around and it seemed xp had the same problem of blank screen but worm noises before a patch was released, and a few people with linux have had the same problem as me, but all those solutions were in high tech speak that I couldn't gather.

I would appreciate anyone who has got armageddon running on their Mac to give me some advise.

Did you get past this screen? (I mean, did you see this screen correctly?)

That screenshot is from the installer, Lukigi already said the game installed fine.

Lukigi: try opening the Wine configuration and configuring W:A to run in a virtual desktop.

No, I mean the intro screen that will be shown before the frontend. Both screens look the same, except for the copyright text at the bottom.

[CyberShadow]

Oh right, that's if you actually go through the intro :)

[Lukigi]

I don't ever get that screen unfortunately Explorer, no graphics whatsoever :(

Cybershadow, can you please run me through exactly how to do that, because I can't find anywhere to configure WINE settings :s

Thanks :)

[Lukigi]

OK, thanks cyber shadow, the disk is running now.

Until I click on the button that actually runs the game of worms. I can get through the menus, but when I click start, I have a black screen. Anything wrong you think?

Dammit, the menus gave me hope :/

Off topic, I also tried to install worms world party, but when I click install game in the 'sold-out' menu, NOTHING happens. At all :(

[MadEwokHerd]

You need the Games version.

Off-topic, but did launching "\Install\Install.exe" work?
(I don't have sold-out release of WWP, so I'm just guessing.)

BTW, did you install the latest beta update of WA? (3.6.29.0)

Godamit, I think that may have worked, but when I go on the worms armageddon website and click anything it says:

:: welcome ::


Fatal error: Cannot use string offset as an array in /var/www/wormsarmageddon/main.html on line 95

-Argggghhhhhh!!!!!

What should the wine settings for this bottle be

(well what ones did you use to make it work smooth? i had it kinda working.... just as pictures though... every time i used cmd-tab to go back it would show a still photo of where is was...)

So don't minimize or make it lose focus then.
