Hello, i've just joined!

But i don't want to be like those guys who open a thread just to post bugs and never appear on the site again, however, if anyone can help me, i would appreciate it.

Here's my problem.



See this?

You can see i have every file in place, but when i select gameEditorMacOSX, it is displayed as a document, and not as an app.

Opening it only shows this on Terminal

Code: Select all

And only shows that. Nothing else.

I'm not sure if it helps on anything, but i'm using an Intel based Mac.

If you download it from the site (opposed to the app store) it won't come as an app. It instead should be an executable. Seeing as it doesn't look like it is, try giving the file execute permission and then run it.

Sorry if this sounds dumb, but how do i do that?

You can use the terminal and chmod, but if you want to use the gui, you can do the following. Right click the file, go to Get Info. At the bottom it should have a section for permissions. Make it have execute permission for at least your account.

I did what you just said, right clicking and modifying the properties of the "document".

All the options i see in the permission section are "Only read" and "Write and read", being the later the default option, there's no execute permission.

Are there any other major differences between the version avaliable at the website, and the one featured in App Store, other than being ready to use? Am i doing something wrong?

There is little difference between the two versions. The app store version is an app file, as well as the recent files list doesn't work. Though, the app store version costs money because you are buying the express license.

Anyway, you'll have to use chmod to give it execute permission then. Open a terminal and type the following.

Code: Select all

chmod +x

Then drag the file into the terminal. This will cause a path name to appear. Make sure there is a space between the x and the start of the path name. Running that should give the file execute permission.

It worked, thank you!
