+Project Zomboid offers both online/offline gameplay. The only difference between the 2 is whether you can connect to online multiplayer servers.
-First, make sure you have logged in at least once with your account details using Safari, so that you have downloaded the client.
+Steam will only allow you to play offline (single-player) or online (multi-player) if you have installed the game prior.
-Next, open TextEdit (In /Applicatons) and create a new file with the following text:
+[[category:Project Zomboid]]
- #!/bin/bash
- DATA=$HOME/Library/Caches/Java/cache/lwjglcache/cloud.projectzomboid.com/ProjectZomboid;
- java -Xmx1024m -Djava.library.path=$DATA/natives -cp $DATA/zombie.jar:$DATA/lwjgl.jar:$DATA/lwjgl_util.jar zombie.GameWindow
-After you paste in the text, click on '''Format''' in the menu bar and click '''Make Plain Text''' (unless the file is already in plain text). Then save the file as '''ProjectZomboid.command''' in the location of your choice. Next open Terminal.app (In /Applications/Utilities). Type in the following text '''and make sure you leave a space at the end''':
- chmod u+x
-Then '''drag the ProjectZomboid.command''' file from the Finder in the Terminal window, which will paste the path to it, then '''press enter'''.
-Please remember that when you use this method your version of Project Zomboid will '''NOT''' auto-update, and you will have to login again using Safari to update your client.
-Now ProjectZomboid.command can be started by double-clicking on it in the Finder.
-This has been verified to work in this environment:
