| |
| Project Zomboid works great on a Mac and can be downloaded from Steam.
| |
|
| |
|
| | == Running Project Zomboid on MacOS == |
|
| |
|
| | # Head to the Project [https://store.steampowered.com/app/108600/Project_Zomboid/ Zomboid Steam Page on steam] |
| | # Install the game (Must own the game) |
| | # Click Play! |
|
| |
|
| == This information is out-dated == | | == Offline/Online mode == |
| == Playing without browsers version 0.1.5d - The Launcher ==
| |
| | |
| # Download the launcher [http://dl.dropbox.com/u/31176212/Project%20Zomboid%20Launcher.app.zip here]
| |
| # Unzip it
| |
| # Double-click it!
| |
| | |
| The launcher will only give you an option to play offline if you have it cached locally, so you must start it at least once in the browser first.
| |
| | |
| == Playing without browsers version 0.1.5d - The involved way ==
| |
| | |
| First, make sure you have logged in at least once with your account details using Safari, so that you have downloaded the client.
| |
| | |
| Next, open TextEdit (In /Applicatons) and create a new file with the following text:
| |
| #!/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.
| |
| | |

| version 0.1.5d is totally different. It works fine with no workarounds, but 0.2.0x needs more work.
| |
| | |
| Download the standalone version of the game (don't bother with the launcher, it won't work).
| |
| | |
| Download the lwjgl binaries from http://lwjgl.org/download.php
| |
| | |
| Copy the files from lwjgl-2.8.3/jar to your PZ directory.
| |
| | |
| Copy the files from lwjgl-2.8.3/native/macosx to your PZ directory.
| |
| | |
| Make a script file called "runzomboid.sh" or something similar and edit it to contain the following:
| |
| | |
| #!/bin/bash
| |
| PWD=`dirname "${0}"`
| |
| java -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true -Dsun.awt.noerasebackground=true -Dsun.java2d.d3d=false -Xms1024m -Xmx1024m -Dsun.java2d.opengl=false -
| |
| Dsun.java2d.pmoffscreen=false -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Djava.security.policy=applet.policy -XX:+AggressiveOpts -

| |
| "lwjgl.jar:lwjgl_util.jar:minlog-1.2.jar:reflectasm-1.01.jar:asm-3.3.1.jar:./" zombie.FrameLoader
| |
| | |
| Open Terminal, navigate to your PZ directory, and run "sh runzomboid.sh", if you did it right and are very lucky, everything will work.

| Hi there,
| |
| | |
| I have managed to run PZ 0.2.x on my mac, here are the steps:
| |
| | |
| '''1.''' Download latest PZ pre-version (http://theindiestone.com/community/viewforum.php?f=21), unrar wherever you want.
| |
| | |
| '''2.''' Download lwjgl library (http://sourceforge.net/projects/java-game-lib/files/Official%20Releases/LWJGL%202.8.3/) and unzip it.
| |
| | |
| '''3.''' In lwjgl-xxx/jar, copy "lwjgl.jar" and "lwjgl_util.jar" and paste them in PZ directory (eg. zomboid020 folder).
| |
| | |
| '''4.''' In lwjgl-xxx/native/macosx, copy all 3 files and paste them in PZ directory again
| |
| | |
| '''5.''' Open your favorite text editor (TextEdit will be fine) and copy/paste ONE of the following code:
| |
| | |
| '''For High preset:'''

| '''6.''' Save this file, in plain text, inside your PZ directory with ".sh" extension (eg. "launch_high.sh").

| '''8.''' Then launch the script:

| |
| | |
| You will have a black screen for some seconds (30sec average) but it's ok.

| | |
| ''Notes: This tutorial makes you download the latest lwjgl library (2.8.3), but you can download the version of your choice. Just make sure to follow steps 3 and 4. It's critical.
| |
| If you want to match the lwjgl version shipped with PZ 0.2.x, you can download 2.8.2 version.''
| |
|
| |
|
| | Project Zomboid offers both online/offline gameplay. The only difference between the 2 is whether you can connect to online multiplayer servers. |
|
| |
|
| | Steam will only allow you to play offline (single-player) if you have installed the game prior. |
