Currently it is required to open the app bundle and place the data files in the Resources folder. This is a good option to have, so you can have the game self-contained.

But I think a good second option is that if the app doesn't find the data in Resources it then looks in ~/Library/Application Support/Hiigara. This is a standard place to keep game data for many source ports.

Hi!

I'm the maintainer of the Tennhauser Gate fork, speaking for the reborn HomeworldSDL community.

A kind person made us aware of your fork, suggesting to list it as the macOS (and linux) fork: HomeworldSDL/HomeworldSDL#12

1. I wanted to make sure it was OK by you before including a link to your repo
2. Before endorsing your fork I wanted to know if you would be willing to coordinate with us on developments

Having individual forks gives us the freedom to take things our way, but having some basic level of communication between forks let's everyone leverage the work of others.

The so-called reborn HWSDL community is currently composed of the Gardens of Kadesh maintainer, and myself, with the blessing of some previous maintainers like Ted Cippichio, support and feedback from some homeworld modders, and occasional help from people coming and going.

Our long-term plan is to merge all the bugfixing we have been doing into the main HomeworldSDL/HomeworldSDL repo, to provide the most stable UX across all platforms.

So... "What are your intentions?" :)

I placed Homeworld.big, HW_Comp.vce, HW_Music.wxd and Update.big into the Resources folder. Then I ran xattr -cr on the app bundle, and codesigned it with codesign --force --deep --sign -

However, it crashes on launch with the message [1] 4914 trace trap ./Homeworld

The app cannot launch without SDL2 installed in the recommended places (/opt/local/include and /opt/local/lib).

The app bundle should come with all required libraries, with an SDL2 dylib in the Frameworks directory.

(Unsure if related, but putting the SDL2.framework folder in Frameworks silences this error, but the app crashes immediately on launch still)
