Project Island Thunder for Mac

[S.p.i.d.e.r.]

This is my only problem with Island Thunder, when converting it, I ran the intro movie on the PC machine that I was using, it was running windows XP, and now, even after installing the codecs in os 9 and OS X, I cannot get them to run.

The stupid thing windows movie player does?

[*DAMN Mauti]

Can you view them in Quicktime player!? The movie files should be a in a MPEG4 format you can run without problems after installing the codecs.

Running Quicktime 6.3 in OS X 10.1.5, and I cannot open the movie files in Quicktime player, not a real problem, just getting annoying over time.

I seriously think it was opening the movie on the windows machine that did it.

Sounds like you either missed something, a few texture folders, or maybe you did not run the patch?

i just installed island thunder, followed the specs and everything but ran into a problem

when i start up ghost recon with just DS activated it runs great, and then i can turn on IT and play if i don't shut off ghost recon

if i do shut off ghost recon with IT active then i can't start it up after, the program won't even open.,, just the little black arrow under the ghost recon icon in my dock flashes and stops

one thing i saw was the place I got the mod from had one extra folder compared to your install instructions. .. how can i fix this , here follows a list of the folders in my mod package
actor
attachments
briefings
character ( this was the extra one, should it be placed somewehre else)
command maps
equip
kits
map
mission
model
(text doc) ModsCont.txt
save
shell
sound
textures
video

is this right?

I can't seem to get the village (4th mission) of the quick missions to load. I just get stuck on the loading screen for a long time. Any ideas? Thanks a lot.

I didn't know if this question was answered but I ran into the same problem and i don't want to rename all 2774 files or so with the correct names (if I can figure them all out).

hello everyone,

unfortunately, i can't get IT to run on my mac.  i have the folders, ran the conversion patch, installed the mod with highest priority, and gr is version 1.4

i noticed that all filenames were capitals and shorter than they should be. for instance, on the cd that i burned on someone's pc the folder that should be "CommandMaps" is called "COMMANDM".
does this have something to do with burning the cd for mac and windows?

i'm using os 9.2.2

many thanks

Hi guys the problem is that you burnt the CD in ISO 9660format which allows only DOS names(8 capital letters) as default setting you have to change the settings to JOLIET that is DOS + Windows names then the names will be saved and transfered correctly!

@ grossjo: there is usually a character folder! I think the problem is that you didn't get the different language versions out of your shell folder. In the shell folder should only be an art folder and the string.txt not more!

@?Kiemanh: may you didn't rename the map folder correctly: the name should be "C04_Swamp_Airfield". I don'T have any other ideas. If the problem still persists please post you lke.log here after a crash.

Bye,

Mauti

thank you, i got Island Thunder working
on another note (ahem):

Just wondering, but once the .wav files have been converted to .aif files, do you have to delete or atleast move the originals (.wavs).  I left them in the sound folder with the .aifs and the game seems to be still reading the .wav files anyways.  But when I tried moving the .wav files to a seperate folder (in lieu of deleting them) the Ike.log would say it couldnt find any of the .wav files.  This is not a big problem but eventually Ike gets so huge simpletext doesnt have the memory to open it and when I'm trying to make minor changes (I needed to tweak some of the Map files in Island thunder even with the patch) opening it every time in some other app like Word is a pain.  Basically, this all sums up my question:  Do you need to keep the .wav files or not?

[*DAMN Mauti]

Just delete the wav files. It will use the .aif files then.

Bye,

Mauti

Okay, deleted the .wav sound files, now all of the new weapon sounds (vz. 58 etc.) will not play.  All the other sounds (helicopters n' stuff) play fine but I think it has something to do with the equip files.

[*DAMN Mauti]

Aif files should work fine may you have used a wrong aif encoding!?

You should use the following settings(selectable in SoundAPP PPC):

File Format: aif
Encoding: PCM
Sampling Rate: 22050kHz
Channels: No Change
Bit Depth: 16Bit

That should help or you can download the complete sounds from Tim Leary's Website: http://leary.homeunix.org/

I tried to download the Island Thunder Mac patch today (from the link at http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~damnr6/tet/fullnews.cgi?newsid1047213617,6556,), but Gamespy only show a download available from their "premium" (pay) servers.  Is it supposed to be linke that?

[*DAMN Mauti]

Just scroll down the screen and you will see free public server!

[Jerry]

Ah, I found the problem.  I hadn't read the thing about Mac IE & GameSpy/FilePlanet's server not playing nice together.  It doesn't seem to cooperate with my Netscape either.    I'll keep trying.

[Icculus]

I am one of the lucky bastards that gets to reap the benefit of all of your hard work.  I truly appreciate every thing you guys have doe to make IT work on a mac.  I haven't done it yet but am getting prepared to do so. My firs hurdle is finding a copy of IT.  None of the stores have it.  They do have the Gold edition that has all three grouped together (GR-DS-IT)  what I want to know is do you think the IT part is usable for this conversion?  I know I can order a copy of just IT from Amazon but would prefer to get it els ware.  If you think the Gold edition is a bad Idea let me know. I dont mind aing for a wee bit more for the Gold edition.

[*DAMN Mauti]

If you don't get IT alone the gold Edition will work fine too because I guess it also has a MP2 folder. So go for it.

I found my copy of IT on www.gogamer.com for only 10$ USD.

Ok, so I've installed, and am happily playing through the first mission, when I move my sniper down to the second field, try to switch to him, and the game crashes. Some investigation reveals that there's something in that area that causes the game to crash, no matter which operative, etc.  ike.log reveals some missing aif files, but I've been hearing sounds (birds, guns, death groans, etc.)  Any ideas?

Thanks!
