Yes really. I use OS 10.11.6 and it worked instantly. Did you try the newest renpy version? I'll try it on 11.5.2, but it'll take a week before I get hold of that machine.
Renpy just wont open (7.4.11) ill be trying older version, maybe thats the issue?
Ideally you should get this when you first open Renpy:
I've already done that, many renpy games needs to be opened this way because the developer issue, but after i do this procedure, the app icon at the bottom just pops for a moment, and then shuts without any notice. I've already tried older renpy versions, but I get the same result :/
Ah. Ok this may be due to a little quirk I have seen in some Renpy games. Here is what worked for me
Thing is, the renpy creation app wont even open, and i cant find a way around it.
Do you have just the creation app or the whole folder?
I have the renpy development kit (the one in the link at the top of this thread)
damn！thx a lot！！！！When you open the DMG, you find a folder "renpy-7.3.5-sdk".
Copy this folder (the folder, not just its contents) to your Applications Folder.
Close the DMG, eject it, you don't need it anymore.
In the "/Applications/renpy-7.3.5-sdk" folder:
For the first launch, it's better to use Right Clic->Open (to avoid some security troubles). After, you can use the double clic without problems. So do it on renpy.app.
It may take a little time to open, depending on your computer, the position of the stars and your patience..
Now, the first thing to do is to define your projects folder.
Then clic on Preferences (bottom right of the window).
Top left of the preference window: Projects folder, change it (You can use something like ~/Documents/RenPy or whatever you want). You're games will go there.
Select you language.
In my very personal case, the Editor is the System Editor, the default one, as my favorite editor is not listed and everything is UNselected but material render and the one below, show the file edition section.
Now you can click on Return to go back to the main window.
To add your projects, it's easy.
In your ~/Documents/RenPy folder, create your new game folder. Let's say "Big Brother, the renew of the Fork".
You have now a "~/Documents/RenPy/Big Brother, the renew of the Fork" folder.
In this one, just copy the "game" folder (the folder, not just its contents) of the game you DL. The "game" folder is enough. No need of anything else like the "lib" folder.
Finally you have a "~/Documents/RenPy/Big Brother, the renew of the Fork/game" folder.
Go back to your renpy SDK window, click on the little "refresh" near "Projects", your new content should appear.
PS: As said before, some games won't work, because of the different versions of RenPy. It's a "some", not a "nearly every", but it can happen.
PPS: The "~/Documents" folder is your Documents folder. "~/" means "/Users/yourName/".
Open Terminal and drag the renpy.app to the Terminal window. after that add '/Contents/MacOS/renpy' (without space and quotes)
/Applications/renpy-x.x.x-sdk/renpy.app/Contents/MacOS/renpyDid you find a solution to your problem? I think I am running into the same thing...
Have you tried Bips solution.
