can you try installing everest

#

ive seen this before but cannot figure out why this happens

opal grotto Jul 11, 2025, 9:12 PM

#

alright...

#

can you link the download location?

patent axle Jul 11, 2025, 9:13 PM

#

https://everestapi.github.io/

Everest - Celeste Mod Loader

The mod loader for the retro-style 2D platformer Celeste.

#

that doesn't look like a valid everest log

opal grotto Jul 11, 2025, 9:25 PM

#

Really?

patent axle Jul 11, 2025, 9:25 PM

#

this is still a vanilla log

#

yeah

#

theres no everest version up top

opal grotto Jul 11, 2025, 9:26 PM

#

Ok what should I do now?

patent axle Jul 11, 2025, 9:27 PM

#

okay on the bright side it's a different one

#

on the dark side i have never seen this before

opal grotto Jul 11, 2025, 9:27 PM

#

great lol

patent axle Jul 11, 2025, 9:28 PM

#

who is passing a null pointer to the texture what

opal grotto Jul 11, 2025, 9:28 PM

#

idkkk

patent axle Jul 11, 2025, 9:29 PM

#

im checking this out

opal grotto Jul 11, 2025, 9:30 PM

#

👍

patent axle Jul 11, 2025, 9:31 PM

#

hm can you send log.txt

fierce galleonBOT Jul 11, 2025, 9:31 PM

#

There are two types of logs; crash logs and log.txt.

Crash logs are generated when you see an "Oooops! :(" crash handler screen. They contain extra information which regular logs don't.
To access those, there's a button that says Open log file folder, which should take you to where they're stored. Make sure to grab the latest one!

For more subtle issues, non-crashing problems or other miscellaneous stuff, log.txt is checked. To find it, do the following:

Open Olympus.
Press the Manage button in the Installations panel on Olympus' main menu. (it's to the left)
Press Browse to open the Celeste folder.
Look for the file named exactly log.txt inside that folder. Do not grab error_log.txt or look into the LogHistory folder as those are not the log.txt you're looking for.

Your username may sometimes show up in those logs. If you're concerned about that, remember to censor it before uploading. Every text editor should have a replace function, commonly opened with Ctrl+H.

patent axle Jul 11, 2025, 9:31 PM

#

i need log.txt specifically

#

@opal grotto

opal grotto Jul 11, 2025, 9:33 PM

#

Ok here it is

📎 message.txt

patent axle Jul 11, 2025, 9:33 PM

#

thank you

#

wait what the fuck????

opal grotto Jul 11, 2025, 9:34 PM

#

lmao what

patent axle Jul 11, 2025, 9:34 PM

#

oh hold on

#

is this mac bullshit

#

can you open terminal in the game's graphics folder

#

under Content/Graphics

opal grotto Jul 11, 2025, 9:35 PM

#

ok working on it

patent axle Jul 11, 2025, 9:37 PM

#

wait wait wait since this is happening in mac

#

i have a theory

#

this will be so fucking stupid if it's true

opal grotto Jul 11, 2025, 9:41 PM

#

ok..

patent axle Jul 11, 2025, 9:42 PM

#

sorry if i'm swearing a lot but i've seen this error several times and i couldn't figure it out

#

yea but i need you to open terminal there

opal grotto Jul 11, 2025, 9:43 PM

#

ok

patent axle Jul 11, 2025, 9:43 PM

#

i think you can right click the empty space and open terminal here?

opal grotto Jul 11, 2025, 9:44 PM

#

I opened it manaully

patent axle Jul 11, 2025, 9:44 PM

#

you'll need to cd to the folder you have opened though

#

can you copy the folder path

opal grotto Jul 11, 2025, 9:45 PM

#

how do i do that?

patent axle Jul 11, 2025, 9:45 PM

#

actually just open terminal from finder
https://support.apple.com/en-us/guide/terminal/trmlb20c7888/mac

Apple Support

Open new Terminal windows and tabs on Mac

In Terminal on Mac, open new windows and tabs with the default profile, the same profile used by the active window or tab, or a profile you specify.

#

scroll to the bottom from this page

#

yea

#

can you do a ls -a

opal grotto Jul 11, 2025, 9:48 PM

#

like copy and paste that in?

patent axle Jul 11, 2025, 9:48 PM

#

you can just type that in

#

it's faster

#

but yeah

#

then press enter

#

this will __l__i__s__t __a__ll files in that folder

#

okay, this confirms my theory

#

jesus...

opal grotto Jul 11, 2025, 9:49 PM

#

oh no

patent axle Jul 11, 2025, 9:49 PM

#

can you do ls -a ../Maps/

#

yeah as i expected

#

okay so

#

i think this is solved

opal grotto Jul 11, 2025, 9:50 PM

#

oh?

patent axle Jul 11, 2025, 9:50 PM

#

so like

#

you see those ._[...].bin files

#

celeste is trying to read those bin files as actual maps

#

but they're just macos metadata

opal grotto Jul 11, 2025, 9:51 PM

#

oh boy rly??

patent axle Jul 11, 2025, 9:51 PM

#

they're not in a format celeste expects

#

yeah

#

they're crashing celeste

#

they seem to be everywhere in your celeste folder

#

can you also do just ls

#

without the -a

#

i wanna confirm something

opal grotto Jul 11, 2025, 9:52 PM

#

patent axle Jul 11, 2025, 9:53 PM

#

perfect

#

alright

#

let me see

opal grotto Jul 11, 2025, 9:53 PM

#

ok..

opal grotto Jul 11, 2025, 10:17 PM

#

So is there a way to fix this?

patent axle Jul 11, 2025, 10:17 PM

#

yeah im trying to figure out a script to automate this

#

basically we want all those ._[...] files out

opal grotto Jul 11, 2025, 10:18 PM

#

alright

patent axle Jul 11, 2025, 10:59 PM

#

okay i keep getting distracted so

opal grotto Jul 11, 2025, 11:00 PM

#

thats fine lol

patent axle Jul 11, 2025, 11:02 PM

#

in the terminal window just write cd .. and write rm -r ._*.*

#

or actually one sec

opal grotto Jul 11, 2025, 11:03 PM

#

ok

patent axle Jul 11, 2025, 11:04 PM

#

yeah okay try find . -name '._*' -type f -delete instead

#

if you want to do a dry run, remove the -delete

#

it will list you all the files it's going to delete

opal grotto Jul 11, 2025, 11:05 PM

#

The terminal window from the graphics folder right?

patent axle Jul 11, 2025, 11:05 PM

#

yeah, though first write cd ../..

patent axle Jul 11, 2025, 11:06 PM

#

patent axle in the terminal window just write `cd ..` and write `rm -r ._*.*`

i meant to write cd ../.. there, my bad

opal grotto Jul 11, 2025, 11:06 PM

#

yep ok

patent axle Jul 11, 2025, 11:06 PM

#

so to reiterate, first cd ../..

#

the thing before the % sign should change to Celeste

#

then find . -name '._*' -type f, and it'll list you all the files it's going to delete

opal grotto Jul 11, 2025, 11:08 PM

#

Ok am I doing it right so far?

patent axle Jul 11, 2025, 11:18 PM

#

yep

#

okay now add a space and -delete at the end

#

this will delete the files for real

#

@opal grotto

opal grotto Jul 11, 2025, 11:19 PM

#

ok

patent axle Jul 11, 2025, 11:19 PM

#

then try launching celeste

opal grotto Jul 11, 2025, 11:19 PM

#

so add -delete to the find . -name or?

patent axle Jul 11, 2025, 11:19 PM

#

yeah, at the end

opal grotto Jul 11, 2025, 11:19 PM

#

ok

patent axle Jul 11, 2025, 11:19 PM

#

... -type f -delete

opal grotto Jul 11, 2025, 11:23 PM

#

so to verify, find . -name '._*' -type f -delete, right?

#

sorry

patent axle Jul 11, 2025, 11:23 PM

#

yes, find . -name '._*' -type f -delete

opal grotto Jul 11, 2025, 11:25 PM

#

omigod thank you!!

#

it works now

#

thanks so much

patent axle Jul 11, 2025, 11:26 PM

#

opal grotto Jul 11, 2025, 11:26 PM

#

ikrr

#

patent axle Jul 11, 2025, 11:26 PM

#

i should update the wiki to include that

opal grotto Jul 11, 2025, 11:27 PM

#

Yeah that might be good

#

ok see ya

patent axle Jul 12, 2025, 12:09 AM

#

@opal grotto please don't delete the post message in the future, as it prevents me from marking it as resolved* and it also prevents people from being able to search for your error and find the solution

opal grotto Jul 12, 2025, 12:11 AM

#

Oh ok 👍

#

I just didn't want to show my name I'll remember that in the future

patent axle Jul 12, 2025, 12:14 AM

#

ah fair

#
