Since so far, when QuesoGLC was the root cause of the issues, some of the tests and examples failed. Please make sure of that and report to the QuesoGLC mailing list or bug tracker if something goes wrong.

I did this. It was just that there was no longer struct { x, y, z }
pos; but just x, y, z in the OBJECT_SAVE_V19 definition.
Now, Warzone will start up, but this is what I get:

Maybe someone who knows more about QuesoGLC or how it's all hooked
into Warzone can help figure this one out. For those who were around
in mid-2005 when I started the Mac port, you'll recall that garbled
menu text was the first hurdle I had to deal with once I got the game
to compile. :)

All that needs to be done is to go through all of the on-disk formats, save-game and others, and make sure that the right endian_*() functions are called right before saving the file to disk and right after reading it, for every element of the structure. These problems are why I had suggested XML a while back. Most of the crashes on the Mac version of Warzone have been related to issues with things being loaded from disk and having a different value than when they were saved, and some are harder to track down than others. The network code is the other place that I know is being changed heavily but that right now has endian issues. Maybe in the next couple months we can get it to the point where Mac players can play the trunk version and even play against other people online. And that's where the *real* fun in Warzone begins. :) Ari ___ Warzone-dev mailing list Warzone-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/warzone-dev

Luckily per is re-writing the save-game format so it should not be that much of a problem. I will however see if I can take a look at some of these problem functions.
