(Mac version) Couple of wee bugs

**sshrago** · 11-17-2008 05:19 PM

First of all - LOVE the game. Seriously great work. Thank you!

Couple of bugs (I assume) in the Mac version of the game to report:

1. When I click the button to 'view stadium' I cannot exit the globe screen. So I am stuck watching an endless loop of the world, before CMD+Q'ing to quit restart the game.

2. (this one is currently stopping me from playing) I somewhat impulsively unticked the 'globe' option in the game settings. This resulted in the game crashing after a couple of seconds. More seriously, however I now cannot load the save game that I was playing; it too causes the game to crash whilst loading.

I have attached the log files ('Problem Details' and 'System Configuration') in a zip for your attention.

Any ideas? Is my budding career on loan to Cambridge United over? Say it aint so...

Can't load the game. Please help!

Okay, no expert here but if you have harddrives on macs (yes, I know that little about them

) then go to C:\Program Files\New Star Soccer 4\Settings\Settings.ini and change cGlobeActive=0 to cGlobeActive=1, that may work?

Good idea!

The file is actually located in [Username]/Documents/New Star Soccer 4/Settings on the Mac.

Unfortunately the settings.ini file does not include the cGlobeActive line. I added it in to test, but no dice...

I think the globe setting is embedded in the [SaveGame].db file, but I have no way of reading or editing this file.

Any other ideas?

Must be different for the Mac, it's the first line the file on the PC

Any ideas Si?

I have the exact same problems.

You can fix the crash by going into your terminal and writing:

Code:

sqlite3 ~/Documents/New\ Star\ Soccer\ 4/Save/NAME_OF_SAVE.db
update gameoptions set spare1 = 1;
.quit

Impressive! You're gooood...

Worked as prescribed (and got me reacquainted with sqlite, to boot).

If anyone else is trying this, I suggest copy'n'pasting the syntax, rather than typing it in; I came a little unstuck where I thought I had read 'sparel' instead of 'spare1'. Doh.

Thanks again!

I can confirm that the 'View Stadium' function does the same thing for me. It goes on endless loop and there is no function to return to the game apart from completely quitting the application.

Antonio, please zip and send me your save file. Regarding the globe problems, this will be fixed in the update. Thanks for that fix Hassing. Nice work.

i have the same problem, PLUS i have some problems during the match...

basically i cant see the "play" "instant replay" "help" or "skip match" icon when i go to the game screen AND my cursor dissapears...this isnt too much of a problem as they still highlight when i run my mouse over the area the icons WOULD be (if that makes sense?)..however i still cant skip the match (the screen like freezes until i press the esc. button) and when i try to swap shirts at the end of the game the game just freezes and i have to quit the game altogether...what can i do?
