I'm trying to run MBP and MBG on my brother's new MacBook Pro.
Stats:
Version 10.8.5
2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Due (processor)
4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 (memory)

MBG and MBP (v. 1.2 & 1.5) are currently in fullscreen mode.
When I open them up, all sounds play. They window does not show up. I can wave the cursor around the screen, and sometimes hear the "mouse over button" noise. I cannot click on these buttons (no click button noise)

I went into the code of MBP 1.5, and changed it to fullscreen mode. (I also tried this with MBG and MBP 1.2 but it didn't work)
the file I edited was called
defaults.cs.dso
Now it is in window mode, and I can play singleplayer
However, when I click "Online" play multiplayer, I get a redundency error because I had to edit a file to open the game, and there must be some anti-hack codes.



Can somebody help me figure out how to play?

I have tried re-downloading, so that's out. As stated above, I can't click on these buttons, so I can't change fullscreen that way.

Bonus! Many of you know that pressing 'command enter' will change fullscreen. When I do this twice in very short succession, the graphics break. See atatched screeny.

Bump.

El Nathan, can you file a support ticket and attach a console.log? It would help us a lot!

Thanks!

Jeff

Have you run the launcher again to get the files for v1.51 yet? You might get anti-hack errors If you do not download the updated files. Also you should not edit .dso files, since those are compiled. If you want to edit files, edit the .cs instead, and then recompile your scripts.

so.
I download Mac 1.5.1, it shows in the computer as 1.5.0
I open it. "Java Runtime Environment' or something like that, it's an error
can't open :,c
I have this weird 1.5 that is opening... it opens strait away with no launcher. I click "show package contence," and search "log" and there is NOTHING that has to do with that. So, i tired stealing the defaults.cs.dso from beta 3, because it looked the same, and it still gave me the redundancy error when I click on the online button.
Still, i think it would work if I could get back the original defaults.cs.dso,
so I redownloaded 1.5."1" (downloads as 1.5.0) and clicked show package contence, and it had changed, so I treid to find the "home" folder, but in the newest macs that's gone too... So I finally click "show in finder" for the MBP 1.5 that DOES work, and this opens the correct folder. But there is no new MBP!
So I can't open the package contecne to revert my .cs.dso file, gah

In short. I don't know what a support ticket is, I have no console.log, I have no MBP v1.5.1 I don't know what a compiled file is, and I don't know how to recompile anything.

By the way, did I mention I want to be able to play MBG and MBP v1.2 still? I still don't know how to fix those

Yeah, you shouldn't have to mess around with .dso files if you haven't added any (replacing doesn't count). Just re-download the launcher from marbleblast.com/index.php/downloads/mbp and it should automatically update the files for you. If it still has issues after that, let me know.

Code:
function clientcmd12dothepq() { commandToClient(LocalClientConnection, '34onthedancefloor'); }

Fullscreen only works in 16-bit color with graphics issues on OS X Mavericks (which you seem to have) and does not work at all on OS X Yosemite. Yosemite also has graphics issues in windowed mode that Mavericks does not. You should edit mbpPrefs.cs (in platinum/client) and delete mbpPrefs.cs.dso to change MBP options by hand.

The preference files for MBG and MBP 1.20 are in ~/Library/MarbleBlast/marble/client (for MBG) and ~/Library/MarbleBlast/platinum/client (for MBP 1.2). To get there, open Finder and option-click the go menu and keep holding option. Then click Library. Find the MarbleBlast folder and go in there to get to the settings in the directories above (marble/client and platinum/client). The Platinum team removed the library stuff for some reason in 1.50 even though it was a useful way to separate game data and user data.

For 1.50+ you can use this guide , but find platinum/client instead of console.log.

However, this shouldn't be necessary for his issue unless he can't open the game because of fullscreen issues.

Thank you. This is a great fix without any coding hassle!
