For the record, I had no problems running MBP and I have admin privileges on my computer.
Thanks for the ton of work you guys put in to make this mod possible!

Awesome Hint:
Since the Awesome Time/Score is secret, you will have to beat it in order to find out what it is. Just practice every day, and be ready to keep pressing the 'Restart' button...A LOT!

EDIT: Never mind, it downloads but doesn't play in the launcher or in the app.

hiGuy, you claimed you pushed an update for the Mac launcher, but it appears it's still the same version as when the website first came back online.

We're sorry that you feel this way. Please hang in there while we work out all of the problems that people are having. We did not test the Mac launcher as much as we should have, but we are doing our best to fix it.

It's alright mate. I guess you can say PQ had a P..Q (bad pun right)

I'm not sure if the update to the launcher was pushed that fixed it, but the issue for me was that the executable bits weren't set on the binaries downloaded by the pq launcher. Go into ~/Applications/PlatinumQuest and chmod +x the frameworks and binaries in /Contents/macos. That will get them working.

This is the main issue I'm seeing. The root cause seems to be that our new build server doesn't mark the files as executable before uploading them to the live site. This should be fixed with releases after 2.0.2. I pushed a launcher fix yesterday that attempts to chmod the executables, apparently with mixed success.

under PlatinumQuest/Contents/Frameworks
- Ogg.framework
- OpeanAL.framework
- Vorbis.framework
- MBExtender
- MarbleBlast Gold
and I do the following command for each of those files:
"chmod +x /the/path/to/the/file" (without the quotes)

For the frameworks note that each framework is actually a bundle (similar to how apps are packaged on osx) that you can right click > show contents on. Inside there you will find the actual binary that needs to be chmod-ed (I think the structure inside the framework is like /versions/latest but I don't recall precisely).

I'm just a 15 year old who's been playing MB for over a decade and can be annoying at times.
