"There was an error copying the data, could not discover contributed directory path" MacOS Big Sur #337

Closed apachey closed 3 years ago

apachey commented 3 years ago

Hello,

I was trying to install Wargus, but every time I got this error: There was an error copying the data, could not discover contributed directory path. Continued by: Wargus data was not extracted, is corrupted, or outdated. You need to extract it from original Warcraft II DOS REZDAT.WAR or BNE INSTALL.MPQ/INSTALL.EXE file.

Launching the app from the Applications folder

MacOS Big Sur 11.0.1 Wargus.app 3.0.0

Hi, I'm sorry, but unfortunately there are no Stratagus developers that have a Mac anymore, so we cannot test or fix issues on macOS. The last few issues I fixed by just guessing and hoping for the best and when the person reporting an issue didn't reply back, I didn't know if it worked. Unless someone who can help with development on Mac joins the team, we will just drop support for macOS in the 3.0.0 release.

The unfortunate problem is that Apple is making it hard to impossible for developers on other platforms to build and test something for macOS. I am not allowed to have a virtual machine with macOS on my Linux machine unlike with Windows, so I would have to buy a Mac to test anything.

Oh, I see... Can I help somehow with it? I have no coding experience, though. Maybe I can try previous versions? Wargus is just the only option to play Warcraft on Mac natively.

timfel commented 3 years ago

Well, there's unfortunately not much to help with unless you know how to compile and experiment with the code on a Mac ☹️

apachey commented 3 years ago

Got it. Thank you anyway.

I'm also having problems with this. macOS 10.14.6 Mojave, still trying to figure out how to solve it. Using the version downloaded off the site and wartool says it's version 3.0.0.

There's no documentation of how to use wartool manually properly that I can find, so I don't know if I'm doing it correctly, but when I tried to use it the following happened:

$ pwd
/Applications/Wargus.app/Contents/MacOS
$ ./wartool -v ~/Files/Games/DOSBox/Chicago/Mount/C/Games/WAR2/

Wrong type 00000fa0, expected 000007d0

And then it exited with an error and a pop-up "This version of the data is not supported". It seems to have extracted a bunch of files. But unfortunately, still the same error when I try to run the game with ./wargus -d ./data.

So maybe there's something wrong with this particular DOS Warcraft 2 CD, and this might be causing problems for people? I'll see if I can try with a different version of the game. Also, if you have any other suggestions for things I can try on the command line, let me know and I'll give them a try.

@msikma did you compile yourself? The latest binaries are some random state before the actual release, because we dropped support for macOS entirely, due to the reason above (Apple making it impossible to develop for macOS without buying their hardware).

The error looks like the version of the CD is simply not supported, you could try a different version.

timfel commented 3 years ago

I had to drop support for macOS, because Apple seems to be actively making it harder and harder for cross-platform software to build, test, and ship without buying any Apple dev tools or licenses :(
