Ok, thanks to a nice Mr. Matt Smith (Smeeisqualityfootrot), I've figured out where the problem is that's keeping Eternal from running on OS9 and, possibly, SDL as well. It turns out my motion sensor sprites were _one pixel_ too small and that made Aleph VERY VERY ANGRY.

So I've fixed it. It now runs perfectly fine under OS9, but I can't test it under SDL because I don't have a PC. So, if you would like to test it under SDL, please download the normal lores Eternal package (if you haven't already) here:

http://eternal.psyjnir.net/files/Application/Releases/Eternal 1OSX128.sit

(replace 128 with 256 or 512 if you want higher-res textures)

and the SDLified Map and Images files here:

http://eternal.psyjnir.net/files/Application/EternalMkI_SDL_D ata.sit

(put them in the Eternal folder and replace the ones already there)

and the new, fixed Shapes file here:

http://eternal.psyjnir.net/files/Application/FixedShapes.sit

(replace the old one, of course)

and of course, a copy of Aleph One for your platform from here:

http://source.bungie.org/

(put that in the Eternal folder too)

Now all that should, IN THEORY, make Eternal run under the Windows or Linux versions of Aleph One. Please let me know.

ATTENTION OS 9 USERS - If you have already downloaded an Eternal OSX package to try to see if it will run, and still have it around, all you need is the fixed shapes file and an OS9 copy of Aleph One. If you haven't already downloaded it, a set of packages that work for both OS9 and OSX will be up later today.

Downloading now.

****Incoming Update Message from Lt Devon****

Good news! Eternal works! The bad news is the fusion pistol fires .44 Magnum rounds, and shows up on your inventory as the pistol (MML). Also, the textures are off colour, and I can't pick up the Pfhor staff. I'll send you a screen.

I downloaded AlpehOne for OS9 and followed the installation instructions (I think) and when I started it up, my monitor went all crazy one me, and by that I mean I have no idea what the hell happened. The screen turned into about 7000 different colors, and stayed that way until I restarted my computer, twice.

Anyone want to explain this one?

I have no expertise on Mac, sorry.

Everyone, I'm happy to announce that Eternal for SDL is nearly complete! We just have to think of a way to fix the HUD, do it and then test it.
