Title: Unable to run mods with 3.8.0 on mac
Post by: Treki26 on November 11, 2017, 04:00:39 pm

For some reason I am unable to run mods when using Freespace open 3.8.0, after activated any mod (including the media VPs) from wxLancher and running the game it loads up retail free space 2. I have tried multiple different versions of the wxLauncher to no effect, however 3.7.4 runs fine.

I am running OS X Sierra 10.12.6 on a late 2015 27 inch retina display iMac

Did you try wxLauncher 0.12.0-rc3 (https://github.com/scp-fs2open/wxLauncher/releases)?
Only wxLauncher RC2 and later (as well as Knossos) work with FSO 3.8.0. None of other launchers work.

To be precise: they may work, but only as long as a newer launcher hasn't created fs2_open.ini in the right folder (which tells FSO to always use it for configuration), and only as long as you don't try to load mods with spaces in the folder names.
