Thanks to Philbywhizz an OS X build of Alpha 14 has just been posted at http://pioneerspacesim.net/download .

Thanks for the OSX build, Philbywhizz. However, it quits itself immediately upon being opened. Do other OSX users have this problem?

That's not cool.. Are there any messages sent to the console (via the console app - located in /Applications/Utilities?)

What version of OSX are you running?

I'm running OS 10.6.8.

I tried opening it through Terminal, but there were no error messages. Terminal shows the next command prompt before Pioneer crashes, so it seems that it runs for a bit before closing.

Edit: as per advice here I tried deleting ~/Library/Application Support/Pioneer, but it didn't help.

Ok, I think I know where the issue is now - it is the way that the application is packaged with the newest lua management code (damm you luamanager and your constructors! 🙁 ).

I'm going to have to have a rethink on how to package up pioneer on OSX (I have an idea of a work around), and unfortunately I won't be able to test and fix it until tonight. Thanks for your patience.

Hello,

I've re-uploaded Alpha14 for OSX up to sourceforge. - It should be in the same place, and I'm sure Rob will update the website shortly.

Now that the basic build is back working again, I can start to look at some other fun stuff instead. 😀

Enjoy!
