Curious Artila pulverizer Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I posted this earlier in the tech support forum, but thought I might get a more definitive response here. I apologize for the repeat post. I am playing Avernum 6 on Mac OS X 10.5. When I previously played the game on Windows, I was able to "Look" at NPCs and other items in the game by right-clicking on them. For NPCs, it showed their attitude (friendly/neutral/hostile) and their current/max HP. However, I am unable to get the same functionality in the Mac version of the game -- right-click does nothing, and command-, option-, or shift-click (among other combinations) simply opens up the talk window, like just left-clicking would. The "L" key also doesn't seem to work, as it apparently did in some previous Avernum games. Can others playing the Mac version of the game please confirm that this is indeed the case, and it isn't my installation being broken? Thanks in advance!

Kyshakk Koan Txgangsta Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 They can do that on windows? I want to do that! I have a mac, and it doesn't do it either. I hate stupid windows people... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Not quite any, but most. —Alorael, who still treasures his Mac exclusives. Of course, the vast majority are shareware, and the vast majority are also impossible to run on modern operating systems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, some games just require too much out of your system, sucks not being able to play games with awesome graphics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 That's completely the opposite of the problem I'm pointing out. His computer has no problems at all with modern graphics, but it's a pain to have to get Basilisk II or SheepShaver running to games that require, say, Mac OS 7. —Alorael, who has seen things getting better and better with the availability of Cider, the semi-illegal fan-Ciderizing, and things like Darwine/CrossOver. It's becoming easier and easier to play all those Windows games without Windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody Soul of Wit Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 And the real question is still not being answered. Why would there be such a discrepancy between how the Mac and Windows versions behave? Personally, I don't mind clicking on an icon AND the NPC to look at them, but I'm sure that it drives some people batty. Maybe even lava batty.

Tenderfoot Thahd MagiclyDelicous Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Would an autohotkey script work on a mac? Say, ctr-alt-click on object records pointer x,y coords, moves to x,y coord of that button, clicks, returns to recorded x,y and then clicks.
