Hi guys, im a huge fan of starcontrol. I have a Mac Book Pro, and i tried to play the game. i used "stuffit expander" and decompressed the game. i followed the readme document and put all the documents where they needed to go.
I try running the game and all i get is a small blank screen that shows up. I click on the screen and the game crashes and a error report pop ups that it wants me to send to apple.
so if you guys know what is going on. i would love to fix the issue so that i could enjoy this fan made game.

Hi, Culture3! A wild guess: Are you using a retina macbook pro with its insanely high resolution? It seems our UQM-HD Alpha isn't quite capable of handling the retina display... however, you can try the game in windowed mode.
Here's a link to a similar problem someone had, and the solution to run it in windowed mode:
http://www.star-control.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=552&start=90
Here's the gist of the reply on that thread:
One way to start UQM-HD in windowed mode is to run the"The Ur-Quan Masters HD.app" from the command line.
To do this:
1. Open Terminal.
2. navigate inside "The Ur-Quan Masters HD.app" by typing "cd The Ur-Quan Masters HD.app".
3. Inside the .app, cd to Contents/MacOS.
4. Inside the Contents/MacOS, execute the "Ur-Quan Masters HD" with -w switch after the command. (Type "./The\ Ur-Quan\ Masters\ HD -w")
For me I would type into a terminal window:
/Users/jakeking/Desktop/uqm-hd/The\ Ur-Quan\ Masters\ HD.app/Contents/MacOS/The\ Ur-Quan\ Masters\ HD -w
(You can drag the "The Ur-Quan Masters HD" from the Contents/MacOS directly to the terminal window to avoid typing all that junk. Just remember to add the -w in the end.)
(Edit: Eliminated typos and clarified the response.)

Another way to force the game into windowed mode is to edit the configuration file of the game.
The config file "uqm.cfg" is located in ~/.uqmhd.
It is a hidden folder, so the best way to access it is to fire up Terminal, type "cd", then type "cd .uqmhd", then "open ." . This will open the hidden .uqmhd folder into the Finder as a normal window.
Then you can edit the uqm-cfg. Change "fullscreen=BOOLEAN:true" to "fullscreen=BOOLEAN:false" and you're good to go!

hi, and thanks for the tips. I tried opening it up from inside the app and going from the MacOS folder. It opens up a small black window like it did before and then a dos window also pops up
then a ton of script starts showing and it just repeats itself over and over
Non-existent image to TFB_Prim_Stamp()
is what it keeps retyping over and over
but before it starts doing the repeating script it writes this. Now i dont know alot about code so hopefully me posting this will help you guys.

Hmm.. ok. By the looks of it, it seems the game can't find the graphics etc files. The .uqm packs might still be in a wrong folder.
Just confirming - you are trying to play Project 6014, right? (And not UQM-HD?)
Which folder exactly inside the .app did you copy the P6014-0.2.0-prv-content.uqm?

i am trying to play P6014, i put P6014-0.2.1-prv-content.uqm folder in the Content/Resource/Content/packages of the P6014.app
i know you said P6014-0.2.0-prv-content.uqm... does it matter that i have a updated version than what you said?

k i figured it out. i had been putting all the packages through the decompressor program. I wasn't supposed to do that. So i tried putting it the downloads directly into the folders. now it works.
i just have a really mini screen
any way of making it full screen or just bigger
