Project Island Thunder for Mac

[AFVg2]

Hmmm... appears you are correct. After changing, the only sounds I hear are those over 500kb in length, as I didn't pay the shareware fee yet for SoundConverter, and that is the file limit for the SDdemo.

Had to transfer a pristine MP2 folder to the Mac desktop to patch and play.

Got through the first level, only to have this Ike.log printout after selecting the second level's personnel and proceeding to the second level (my version of IT comes off the Gold Package, w/all three games):

Insertion zone out of play area - placing randomly

[*DAMN Mauti]

Yep looks quite normal - the placed out of play area has to do with the movies who start outside the one. The Sim Dynamic Errors can be ignored and the missing briefing aif is also normal, but you heard the briefing didn't you!?

Bye,

Mauti

[AFVg2]

I heard the briefing, selected the team and weapons, showed the "loading" screen, and then promptly crashed just as the level was to get underway.

In short, I can't play the next level. What .rsb file could it not find?

I can play individual "Quick Missions" like Island, Prison, & etc.

Perhaps you can post somewhere on your site a list of what files should be in the various folders in question? Perhaps I'm missing something.

BTW, I had a mod the first time I installed it -- Navy Seals -- and I enjoyed killing via silenced mp5's and other toys. Everthing worked fine until the second level. I removed the mod and still had the problem.

Take a look here: http://www.damnr6.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=7697.msg47912#msg47912 May this  helps.

Bye,

[AFVg2]

You need to make a change to your conversion instructions where it says:

"...you should see a few files around, the ones we need are the data1/2.cab files..."

You should change it to:

"... the ones we need are the MP2 files in data1.cab ...

I saw the data1 size at under 500k and the data2 size at numerous megabytes. Common sense suggested I convert data2 because it has more "stuff" in it, but that is where I was having my problems.

Everything is fine now.

[*DAMN Mauti]

Great and I gonna change that line. Thanks and now enjoy the great missions.

Bye,

Mauti

[AFVg2]

You should also change "extract archive" to "load packed file", and then delete the "something like that" after.

This might be confusing some people as well.

[*DAMN Mauti]

Thanks and done

Folks,
I installed IT for Mac several months ago & all went well, except that I got an occasional crash, but no big deal all things considered. This was under OS 10.2.8.
Well, I installed OS 10.3 yesterday & now IT is really unpredictable. It usually crashes whenever I try to SAVE, but it sometimes does so if I'm just in the middle of a mission. I'm using an iBook G3 w/640MB of RAM & an ATI ATY RageM6 video card w/16MB of video RAM (fairly lame, but GR & DS run great).
Any idea what the problem might be?

Regards,
  Gunrunner

I'm not sure if it is of interest to anyone anymore, but I found a way to install Island thunder on a mac without using a PC or an emulated windows.

I just installed unshield from Darwinports and did: "unshield x data1.cab" and got all the needed files in one go.

As I said I don't know if there is anyone interested in installing an old game such as this one but I guess it really simplifies the instructions. ( replace step 1 to 6 and step 9 ).

[AFVg2]

I still play it from time to time, using different weapon mixes and the occasional sniper "attempting to win alone" kind of game. It certainly calms my daily-grind frustrations.

[*DAMN Mauti]

m4ch1n thanks for the information. What is Darwinports and where can you get it?

Bye

[Monoman]

Here you go Mauti.
