hey guys, i cannot seem to get the windows version to work with Wine on a Mac, does anyone have a Mac version or some advice to get it to work? The first overhaul demo worked just fine, but now it just gives me a program error
All games that are made in RPG Maker MV can run on a Mac [conversely, no game made in earlier versions of RPG Maker, such as RTP Ace or whatever, can run on a Mac.]. Therefore, since since game is indeed RPG Maker MV, it runs fine on a Mac. You just need to modify it a little bit.
A while ago, I copied this procedure from this site: I wish I had noted on which thread I found it, and who the author was, but I didn't note it; just know that I'm not intelligent enough to have come up with this by myself, but that it does work fine, as I've applied it to many Windows-only MV games.
So here goes:
¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬
1. Take this RPGM MV mac
game base:

taken from another RPGM MV mac version of a game.
2. In the Window's RPGM MV version of the game you downloaded, there is a folder called 'www'.
3. Right click the
game base, Show Package Contents, browse to Contents > Resources.
4. Move the 'www' folder into the 'Resources' folder inside of RPGM MV mac
game base.
4. Rename it to 'app.nw', and move package.json into 'app.nw'.
5. Open package.json in a text editor and edit these lines:
"main": "www/index.html", to "main": "index.html",
"icon": "www/icon/icon.png" to "icon": "icon/icon.png"
6. And you're done! Rename the app to whatever you want, for example 'Coceter Chronicies v.12b.app'.
Sometimes the game may not open so you may have to do this: (you don't need to since it's already patched in this RPGM MV mac game base I've supplied.
Code:
start up Terminal, go to the folder the Game file is in (named CoceterChronicles by default), and enter these commands:
Code:
chmod +x Game.app/Contents/MacOS/nwjs
chmod +x Game.app/Contents/Frameworks/nwjs\ Helper.app/Contents/MacOS/nwjs\ Helper
chmod +x Game.app/Contents/Frameworks/nwjs\ Helper\ EH.app/Contents/MacOS/nwjs\ Helper\ EH
chmod +x Game.app/Contents/Frameworks/nwjs\ Helper\ NP.app/Contents/MacOS/nwjs\ Helper\ NP
