Alrighty... Here I am on this official thread thingy...
I haven't been able to run osu! due to admin restrictions (I have a school-issued laptop). Last year, I was able to run osu! by going into the MacOS folder and dragdropping the WineskinLauncher and WineskinX11 exec. files into Terminal and running them that way. For some reason, that was able to bypass the block or something, because it worked every time. This also worked with any other exec. file. That's how I run puush and Colloquy (my IRC client).
This year, though, it doesn't work. I've never really looked at what I was doing when I dragdropped, but I noticed that if I dragdrop
only the WineskinLauncher into Terminal, it will show me this:
After showing me this, it closes itself and I am left with the default "- bash" window running.
The same exact thing happens when I dragdrop
only WineskinX11! It closes itself and leaves me with the default "- bash" window.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________There's something else that's super 4p00ky... If I run Wineskin, (by dragdropping the Wineskin exec. file from the MacOS folder, of course) then open a new Terminal window and dragdrop WineskinLauncher, (from the osu! MacOS folder) I get THIS message from the WineskinLauncher window:
4p00ky 4cr33n4h0t4 ;w;It shows me that, sits for about 10 seconds, then opens osu! (actually labelled "Wine") and gives me THIS! This
only happens when Wineskin is running. If Wineskin isn't running, it will just do the regular routine (pictured in the first box).
WineskinX11 closes itself as well.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________So I suppose what I'm getting at... How the hell did I run this last night?
No but seriously... When I'm dragdropping all these files, what's really going ion? Why do the processes close themselves? Why doesn't it allow me to run the files? I can run anything
else by dragdropping the exec. file from the MacOS folder, so why doesn't it work with osu!/Wine?
What do "WineskinLauncher" and "WineskinX11" actually mean? What are they supposed to do? etc. etc. etc.
Thank you for any information you can give me. I want to be able to play on my Mac again.
My school has ≈150mb/s internet and I want to spam maps with my osu!direct
