Technical Issue Mac Launcher Crashes

[chronzerg]

Hey guys,

I'm running OSX 10.11.4. I downloaded the Mac MBII launcher and moved it into the 'Contents' folder, but when I run the launcher it begins to startup and the simply. Dies. Running it from the terminal yields some error output:

LSOpenURLsWithRole() failed with error -10810 for the file /Users/littlejon/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/Jedi Academy/SWJKJA.app/Contents/MBII Launcher 2.app.
​

When I go into the launcher, to "MBII Launcher.app/Contents/MacOS" and run the MBIILauncher executable in there, it get a bit more of an error:

Any ideas?

Try to launch it through terminal by typing :
cd "/Users/littlejon/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/Jedi Academy/SWJKJA.app/Contents/"
mono MBIILauncher.exe

 

[Jeob]

Which MBII Mac launcher anyway? All the Mac users use the JKJALaunch now to start MB2. I'm under the assumption that currently there's no other way to launch MB2 on macs. Feel free to proove me wrong.

 

[kikili]

The purpose ont he mac launcher is not only to launch MBII, but to download the latest updates.
You can use after JKJALaunch if you wish

 

[Jeob]

Oh the word "mac" confused me, I call that simply MBII launcher. EDIT: I was thinking about the older MBII Mac launcher made by Redsaurus IIRC, which sadly doesn't work anymore.

By the way regarding that launcher, the beta launcher didn't work for me, and the previous launcher (which can be downloaded from the main page of the forums) wants me to download the new version(=beta version), so I can't use it at the moment either. Not like it matters because I have 1.3 and I'm pretty sure that once 1.4 comes out there will be a working version of the launcher for mac users as well.

EDIT2: Question is which version did OP download? If the one for 1.3., then it is futile to get it to work as it will only ask you to download the newer version. Note: from the main pages you can only download the 1.3/older version.

I tried this. A dialogue pops up saying there is a newer version of the launcher I must use. The dialogue leads me to a download page for both the Mac and Windows launchers. But these launchers have the same respective problems listed here.

beta launcher didn't work for me

If you have some problems with beta Launcher, please post detailed bug report about what exactly issues you have, so @LoU could fix it in next release.
Without bug reports, it's not possible to resolve incompatibilities, especially when we're talking about running Launcher (which is Win32 application) on Mac using mono.

which can be downloaded from the main page of the forums) wants me to download the new version(=beta version

No.
Beta is beta, but the version launcher wants to download is simply newer version, not beta.
If Launcher can't update itself automatically, download it manually:
http://update.moviebattles.org/launcher/MBIILauncher.exe

I honestly don't understand why they keep old version on main page, it really should be updated. =\
Also I find Download page pretty confusing. It should be reworked completely.

A dialogue pops up saying there is a newer version of the launcher I must use. The dialogue leads me to a download page for both the Mac and Windows launchers

http://update.moviebattles.org/launcher/MBIILauncher.exe

In fact, there are three versions of MBII Launcher:

Old one, from main page, that always tries to update itself, 3.0 MB:
http://www.moviebattles.org/download/MBIILauncher.exe

Current, which people should use now, 3.97 MB:
http://update.moviebattles.org/launcher/MBIILauncher.exe

Beta version, anti-cheat included, can be used too, I think, 4.13 MB:

To start MBII on Mac it's better to use native OS X application, yes.

The main feature of MBII Launcher is detecting and repairing broken installations.
It's extremely useful feature, especially (but not limited to!) when your Internets ain't so sweet, and it's possible to download broken files.

Also, to play on beta servers, Windows users were have to keep Launcher running all the time due a new anti-cheat system.
In future, using Launcher may become mandatory for all platforms.

No.
Beta is beta, but the version launcher wants to download is simply newer version, not beta.

Yeah it couldn't update itself, I had to download manually but I downloaded the beta launcher. Now thanks to you I got the correct one.
So it works.

Good to know. Chronzerg you should get the 3.97 MB too.
I guess the beta version intentionally didn't work with mac, cause we can't cheat? Well only thing I cared about is that I could play the beta.

EDIT:

Where do you find this link anyway? I could only get the 3.0 MB one.

Don't know, but since I cannot find any post where somebody from the devs says that beta Launcher shouldn't work on mac anyway, you'd better post information about how exactly Launcher "didn't work".

Where do you find this link anyway? I could only get the 3.0 MB one.

Launcher - [SOLVED] launcher won't update | Movie Battles II Community

The problem is that new Launcher was released pretty long time ago, 1 February, but link on main page still leads to old one.

 

[chronzerg]

So I downloaded the 3.97 MB Launcher. I deleted my MBII folder and ran the launcher to download the mod. When the download is complete, I started up JKA MP and loaded the MBII mod, but when I attempted to join a game I got the message:

"You are missing some files referenced by the server..."​

Turning on server downloading didn't help.

As a side note, I tried to start the game using the JKJA Launcher, but no matter what app I select it always said:

"Current Version Selected: Unsupported"​

Any thoughts on either of these issues?

 

[Puppytine]

I deleted my MBII folder

That was unnecessary.

I started up JKA MP and loaded the MBII mod, but when I attempted to join a game I got the message:

You need to start the game using JKJA Launcher.

As a side note, I tried to start the game using the JKJA Launcher, but no matter what app I select it always said:
"Current Version Selected: Unsupported"

Run JKJA Launcher (holding Shift key, I guess), and set CORRECT path to your "Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy.app" or whatever it's called on your machine.
Default path in Launcher may be INVALID, and edit box where path shown is pretty short.
Please set up path manually.

Also you must set

+set fs_game MBII

in "Command Line Options".

It's possible you'll need to move Launcher into correct folder; destinations can be:
~/Library/Application Support/Jedi Academy
~/Library/Application Support/Jedi Academy/SWJKJA.app/Contents
or similar.
