Title: Help for an exiled Mac user?
Post by: jehingr on March 23, 2007, 12:00:45 AM
I recently re-discovered  :ff: when our company made the move to Mac and I found a cheap copy on ebay.  After playing the original campaign, I remembered that there used to be a bunch of very cool campaigns available to download.  I found them (expanded them on an old Win98 machine we have still in the back) and copied the resulting folder to the Freedom Force folder in the Mac Applications folder.

But for the life of me, I can't figure out how to tell the darn thing to use the mod.  In know in the old days on under Windows, I would just add "-game JLA" to the program string.  Does anybody have a clue how to do this on a Mac running OS X (10.3.9)?

Thanks so much.

I think IPS uses a MAC.  Give him a PM.

You need a special package a user put together called FFModLauncher. Here is a link to it either as a zip or a sit:

The site referenced for FFmodlauncher seems to be defunct. Does anyone have a copy for another exiled Mac user?

Thanks,

The link was Renegade's site that he keeps promising (ahem) will be back up soon.  ;)
You should fire him a PM about it.

I would definitely be interested in a mod launcher for Mac if available.  It would save a lot of time instead of copying all sorts of files back and forth between folders.
