MXLS and OS X

I am interested in playing MXL Ultimative and/or Sigma. However, after some reading it seems like I'm not going to be able to play Ultimative.

I currently have OS X 10.11 and Diablo 2 1.14c and can't revert.

My question is will MXLSigma work with the setup i currently have?

Thanks a bunch!

Mike

I've gotten Ultimative to work on an older mac of mine (and on TSW)...Granted its a custom "frankenmac". I think SP works with OSX too (1.12).

perhaps MXLS working with mac will mean that it will be somewhat mac compatible. That said, I'd get bootcamp just in case. Iirc Whist isn't a huge mac fan.

Correct me if I'm wrong though Sigma Devs

Ultimative works with any diablo patch - just copy over the patch_d2.mpq to your d2 installdir and you are good to go, for single player and lan. If you want to play on realm it requires 1.13c.

Sigma is a work in progress that is not playable at the moment.

I hate macs, I hate Apple. For many reasons. But that doesn't mean I would intentionally penalize anyone that uses an Apple computer. I just never coded on OSX and don't know what's required for my code to work on it, how to compile it for it. Then there's all kind of external factors to take into account, such as register keys used by MXLS, save files, etc etc. Also my code use quite a bit of Windows specific code.

That being said, no, MXLS will not natively work on platforms other than Windows. Those who want to use other platforms will need to rely on workarounds such as using Wine, virtual machines or whatever. I will also provide the full source to anyone that would be willing to try a port for another platform (however this will not be given to any random script kiddy, would be looking for someone with decent programming skills along with knowledge specific to the target platform for this task).

Yeah that sucks, MXL has always been cross-platform, but this was needed to develop more advanced features. That being said, for anyone reading this, if you think you would be able to port this project to another platform, you might as well contact me now. Sure the project isn't finished but this is not a task one could do in a few days as far as I know, and it still can be started to make most of it before the release is ready.

Yeah, I know you wouldn't (or assumed it)

, it makes sense that if you're less familiar with them you probably know less of the whatever is required to code on it. Not a knock on you for sure.

Thanks all. Got it working on single player which will have to do, I guess. I like it about 1,000x more than D2. Great game!

There are multiple ways to get windows on your mac. The best way imo is using bootcamp, the 2nd best is using some virtual machine like vmware, 3rd best is WINE.

Wine works perfect for many games, MXL included. No need for space and time wasting dual booting or the performance hit of virtualization.
