Posted: Sat Feb 10, 2018 7:25 pm Post subject: Mac Modding Question [Update] |
|
|
Update: I found a "data.dmg" file in the Mac OS files and opened it. It opened a "data" folder that contains "custom", "Buried Mac Treasure", and "Assets." Very promising.
Hi everyone,
I'm new to this site but I am so happy I found it. I'm reaching out because I currently have the Mac OS version of Pirates! and I would like to put mods on the Mac version. I searched through the forums for a similar question and could find none. Does anyone know if I can even get the mods to work on Mac? I would really like to enhance the classic experience. Thank you. |

Hello, and welcome to hooked on pirates. I own the PC version. For mods to work on it, the mod must be placed in the 'custom' folder.
It might work on the MAC version. |

So far the mac is not showing any sign of the mods working when I place them into the "custom" folder. I will continue to investigate. |

Which mods are you using? What are the file names? |

Sorry I disappeared!
I only tried basic mods likes "eyepatch" and "black_start." I tried rearranging but it did not work. The game has the proper folders, but I just can't seem to get them to work. |

Does the eyepatch mod consist of an fpk file? |

Yes! Sorry, the mods do have .fpk files with the respective names "eyepatch.fpk" and "black_start.fpk" |

Try unpacking them and placing the dds. files in the custom folders. Worth a shot since I don't know what the Mac game uses or doesn't use. I mean it could be they don't use fpk packs. I don't know. |

Update: the macapaka application will not open. The icon appears on my dashboard, but no screen or anything pops up. |
