TBP on mac problems

I just got addicted to B5 (watched Seasons 1 & 2)...
and thought I'd try this mod.

BTW, how do I get TBP to work on my Mac version of 3.6.9?
I'm stumped.....

at first I thought it was this:

but no dice

... You could try moving the TBP directory under your FS2 directory, and then running TBP as a mod of FreeSpace.  Not sure if that will work, but...
PS You'd have to use the "Mod" tab in the launcher, to do that.

...So, you've got the OS X build, and the OS X Launcher, and FS SCP works, but Babylon won't?

... and you tried running it from under your FS2 dir, using the Launcher to configure TBP as a mod?  in other words, you'd have C:\Games\FreeSpace2\TBP
and your mod would be TBP ?

And, you are using the fs2_open_3_6_9 executable (the one you normally use for FS_Open)?

Okay, so if I'm reading this right, the FS Open executable has no problems loading FS Open data, but when instructed to try and load TBP, it crashes?  If you still have the archive you downloaded with TBP in it, ask your archive program (I use 7-zip, see the bottom of this page for info on downloading it.) to do a CRC check ("test") on the file.  If you are not sure how to do this, get 7-zip for Mac OS X and open the archive in that.  Then, simply click the "test" button.  If it comes up broken, or 7-zip refuses to load the file, you probably need to download it again.

Okay, this is just weird.. Try posting this problem elsewhere... your vps are okay, so maybe in
The FreeSpace Source Code Project
or it sub-forum,
Cross-Platform Development
Er, you do have OpenAL installed, right?... Of couse, FS Open works, so of course you do... I'm out of ideas, you need better help than I can give you, I think.  I'll give you the link to your first post about the problem here, you can copy-paste it to your post over there:
