Ah OK a bit clearer now.

The licensing requirements of itech3 engine requires us to maintain backwards compatibility with the original source, in other words Urban Terror 4.2 is â€œstillâ€ a mod that would run using Quake 3.

This would mean that if the optimized version was compiled from our source, and the programmer maintained backwards compatibility, it should also run 4.2.

Have you tried running 4.2 with the 64 bit version?

If not then it breaks backwards compatibility.

aeh... i don't understand what you are saying .. you mean i can use my 4.1 64 bit version to run 4.2?

how would i do that?

Yes you should be able to make a copy of your 64 bit version of the game engine in your 4.1 folder into your 4.2 folder and use that engine.

We only provide a usable engine as part of the download for convenience and the client can shop around and use any idtech3 engine they wish.

Well if it is a crash then I would assume that the Mac operating system would say as much. Not familiar with error trapping on a Mac but on Windows you would get an error dialogue.

If it just more or less flashes up and then out then it's most likely the engine ran but could not find the game directory and parse the loaders. You could try as a test changing the root game folder to the same name used in 4.1 to see if it works and go from there.

The only way that I can see it not loading is if the engine was modified in a way that it is unique to 4.1 only for some reason.

If that is the case just try a different 64 bit engine built off of the 1.36 branch like ioquake3 which I believe has a 32 and 64 bit version for all three platforms.

In theory any idtech3 based engine, optimized or other wise, that can run Quake3 then it has to also run 4.2 period so thatâ€™s the test and if it does not then it's most likely a games path problem. If that's the case then it's an install problem I can't help you with but I'm sure others could as it would be unique as to your needs.

thanks for your help frankie,

i will be able to try what you recommended on the day after tomorrow .. i will keep on replying on this forum since this might be interesting for others as well..

---

not sure this is an indication for anything but the optimized build is not able to run any executables .. tried it but failed..

and you are right the program flashed up and vanished ... there is something called console on osx that might give me access to the error logs of urt ..

apple seems to have changed something there, so i am not familiar with mountain lion's version of this tool ... i will let you know asap ..

thanks again, i am happy to see you are willing to spend time on a single, persistent and sometimes provocative player ..

damn tupring ..

you are running snow leopard .. maybe that's the reason ..

did you use voidref's 4.1 optimized app? did you rename the app?

---

since i know jack about this: will i be able to get all of 4.2's features if running it with a prior version or any other ioquake app?

hello,

i tried to run 4.2 with the 64 bit 4.1 version but didn't succeed .. game flashed up again and was gone after that ..
by renaming the rootfolder you are referring to the folder i have the application stored in?

here's the console's log file

Spoiler

maybe somebody can find the reason for the crash somewhere in there : )

i opened the plist in the urt 4.1 application using xcode .. maybe there is some info that could be of use:

anything else i could do/try?

Sorry Karl the issue is beyond me at this point with out access to install instruction but the one thing that stands out is

Get info string â€œioUrbanTerror 1.35urtâ€

Which would indicate the 1.35 version of the source was used where the engine we supply is based on the 1.36 fork.

I would suggest though that you might be better off asking in the technical forums rather than as an off topic question in a news post.
