Lucho Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Genie scout works on Mac with Crossover Games Thanks! Was able to make it work after a while. I like FM11sx muuuch more, but this will do for now! Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfie.romeo Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 If you're bored of waiting as was i, get access to a PC and open your saved game on that. mac saved games open on PC's and you can save them after editing with say, FMRTE and transfer it back to mac. it's not the easiest option i'll grant you, you need to install the game and patch on the PC and then install FMRTE but it does work.

Alexandre Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Probably she's late with her actual work after being bad for a few days and have no time for side projects like Fm11sx. Be patient, the good thing is that Littleblue is reliable. No matter how long it takes, she always releases a version for the latest FM year after year.

TheUsualSuspect9 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 what do you mean by that Don't mean anything by it other than it's available as an alternative to FMSX. I'm as big a fan as any and really looking forward to the new version but I'm just making other Mac user aware that an alternative is available until then. Thanks a lot, TheUsualSuspect9!!! Great tip...I followed your advice, looked into and now I have Genie Scout working on my Mac. Anyone who's interested should start by looking at this thread: http://www.fmscout.com/i-761-Fm-Genie-Scout-for-Mac-with-CrossOver.html Thanks! Was able to make it work after a while.

smgran Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Any word from littleblue or anyone who has spoken to her recently? It's been a while since she's posted, hope you're okay LB I haven't but I'm sure she's okay and just busy. This whole thing is really just a hobby of hers and we just have to accept that (after all it is free). I was trying to determine the issue to see if I could just commit some temporary patch code but the whole loading thing is well over my head. It appears there is an issue during loads with the human data (mine crashes as I load variables which contain youtube logins and passwords). I'm afraid that we'll just have to wait till LB looks into it and determines what actually changed in 11.2. On a positive side, she was already getting into providing an update to FMSX to load 11.2 files, so I'm sure it will occur as soon as she's back coding.

deep_dave Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 I used Winebottler to run GenieScout, there's a short guide to it on the rival website we all use (which shall remain nameless for the sake of SI ;-) ). Works perfectly, if a little slow to respond. I doubt it will work for fmrte though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works perfectly, if a little slow to respond. I doubt it will work for fmrte though. FMRTE needs .NET framework to run so I think it's a no-go when trying to use with Winebottler or Crossover. Genie scout runs a bit sluggish but works nonetheless. Ofcourse I'd rather be using a native Mac tool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
offleyhornet Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Hi I've just downloaded this and tried to load my game on it, only to get the following message: Incompatible Database Version - 1572 The version of FM this game was saved under is not compatible with this editor I'm pretty sure I have the latest patch :/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deep_dave Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 offleyhornet - little blue, the creator of this app was in the middle of updating it when she fell ill and went to hospital. The current version won't work with the latest patch. We hope she's feeling better, but it's best for her not to rush things. In the meantime, you can use WINE with geniescout which works pretty well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For gods sake, some people... Well, I too have to disagree with you. It's not dead and it was not dead for last year's either. It it true that FMSX for FM2009 was not completed. But last year's FMSX for FM2010 is a fully working editor/scouting tool. And this year's FM works fine under 11.1. The facts are that at the time 11.2 came out LB got sick and is currently trying to get back up to date at her real work. That's not an excuse, just the facts about what happened. She started doing some of the code to enable it to work under 11.2 then got seriously ill. Is it a bummer for all the people that use her great product? Yep. But things could be worse. Man City could actually buy...er...win the EPL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some issues with the 11.2 support. She started putting in the code for it, but more needs to be done to correctly load an 11.2 saved game. I told LB I would try to get a working binary out that would enable 11.2 but the loading code part is way above my head and I could not fix the errors that occur when trying to load the 11.2 game files. It appears SI has added some additional variables within the human player's entity and that means LB will need to do her detective magic looking at the game files in hexadecimal to figure out what additional code she needs in FMSX to get it to load the files correctly. I've emailed her where I thought the problems were and I know once she has the free time she'll be able to figure it all out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing I've noticed is that when LB does get time to work on the editor she's able to really crank out tons of stuff, so overall I'm not really worried.

smgran Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I also think that with all the big name transfers over the past week, it is pretty obvious there will be an 11.3 release from SI soon enough. I doubt it will be much more than transfer window stuff, regardless we'll all be starting new games to incorporate these massive signings. So I'm actually just looking for LB to get the loading part fixed before the expected 11.3. And folks shouldn't worry too much about a new database causing delays in FMSX. Typically minor database changes (like transfers, etc.) just mean that a new "database ID number" needs to be identified and added to the code base. It's usually a very small fix. The big issue (and problem) with the 11.2 release is that it seems to have added some new data variables which FMSX does not recognize. Thus, LB needs to figure out what they are and then add them to the loading process FMSX does to our game files. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it you're waiting and counting on LB alone, you will often be frustrated... Again, I disagree with the assertion that FMSX doesn't work. FM10SX worked just fine. And I'm currently using FMSX for FM2011. Yes, that means I don't update my game to the 11.2 release but I'm fine with that. You are obviously fine with using Genie with the ads stuff. And perhaps you like Genie better than FMSX. That's cool, it's your opinion. Personally I feel about Genie the way you feel about FMSX. And so I'm fine waiting for LB's work. I like the fact that being an open source project I can see what the scouting and editor is really doing. And I like the fact that LB takes suggestions about the editor and scout from all of us and incorporates them into her work. But, yes, I do think it's unfair to slam her after all the work she's done for the Mac FM players. If you like Genie, fine. Then use it, enjoy it and forgo the flame posts. They do no good and only harm. The rest of us are happy with LB and would like to keep her motivated toward our desires (a pure Mac FM Editor/Scouting tool). I think that's fair, surely.

I was commenting on mrpeeps quote of "...If LB comes out with an update that works, I would almost consider it a bonus...", which IMO is a slam. But you are right. This is a forum and you're certainly free to express your opinion. I just don't see the value of hearing the same old argument of why some people don't like FMSX. It's a broken record. Yes, you are right and it is absolutely true that updates of FMSX do NOT coincide with updates from SI. We often have to wait weeks if not months after the updated database. So if that is unacceptable to you, run one of the windows beta programs on your Mac instead of the beta of FMSX. I'd much rather just have this thread concentrated on specific details of the code base in terms of what is working and what issues with the beta need to be addressed. Instead of every now and then hearing about how someone else is upset that there are delays in the program. And I do believe, because that's how I feel as well, that these plethora of comments ARE hurtful and do cause me sometimes to wonder if I should just stop doing work on FMSX for the community and instead just write code for my own personal scout for my own personal benefit. I'm not saying you have to love my work or LB's (who does the vast majority, like 99% of the coding for FMSX), but yes I do feel that free software (and donationware IS free software) should be taken and used if you want it. Given some "thanks" if you really like it, and ignored if you don't. That's my 2 cents. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
