I'm trying to use Lönn on Mac, and when I click on the application, it opens and loads to the editor screen and then quickly closes. I installed Love2d like the github said but I'm unsure what to do with that, and I'm not exactly sure how to carry out the instructions on github on a mac. <@&683773388321456184>

I had this issue before a while ago, but I was told it would be fixed in the next update

ok, now can you try /Applications/love.app/Contents/MacOS/love --version?

vast plover
#

"No such file or directory"

#

somewhere inside that should be a "MacOS" folder; in a terminal window, type cd, then a space, then click+drag the MacOS folder onto the terminal window

#

then, type /Applications/love.app/Contents/MacOS/love Lönn.love

#

ok

#

ok try this:

  • right click+package contents on the Lönn.app file (the map editor app file), and find MacOS
  • type into terminal cd , then click+drag MacOS onto it, then press enter
  • then, do /Applications/love.app/Contents/MacOS/love Lönn.love, and press enter

It works

#

Thank you!

#

if you want you can take the Lönn.love and nfd.so files out and put them somewhere else for easy access (they have to be in the same folder, and you have to do the cd <path to folder> thing on that folder)

#

anyway, <@&683773388321456184> macos packaged lönn doesn't seem to work while downloaded one does

I know the build works for some mac users because we tested it catstare
