macOS Support

[arthrfrts]

Hi!

I love your work on SporeModder, and I wonder if you could release a macOS version of it? I've tried to execute the .jar file or bundle it in a macOS app, but none of this worked. Maybe JDK can offer a simple way to bundle this project as an macOS app?

Thanks!

[emd4600]

Open the Terminal in macOS and navigate to the SporeModder FX folder. There, execute this line: java -jar SporeModderFX.jar Show me a picture of what appears in the terminal.

[arthrfrts]

It returns the following:

Type java -version in the terminal and tell me what shows there. SMFX requires Java 8 to run

[arthrfrts]

I'm getting this:

java 11.0.2 2019-01-15 LTS
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 18.9 (build 11.0.2+9-LTS)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 18.9 (build 11.0.2+9-LTS, mixed mode)

If needed, I can try to download a different version via Homebrew.

[emd4600]

Yes, I think you'll have to install Java 8. You can download it here: https://www.java.com/en/download/

[arthrfrts]

Ok, using Java 8 it actually opens, but before something happens it crashes. The Terminal log follows:

I think it's one of these two warnings:

• Loading FXML document with JavaFX API of version 9.0.1 by JavaFX runtime of version 8.0.202
• java.io.FileNotFoundException: /Users/arthr/Downloads/sporemodder_fx/Styles\Default\ribbon-expand.png

The non-FX version of SporeModder opens with the java -jar <exec> command!

[emd4600]

Could you check if there is a file called ribbon-expand.png inside the Styles/Default folder?

[arthrfrts]

Yeah, there is.

[emd4600]

Sorry for taking so much time to answer. Try replacing SporeModderFX.jar with the following file. If it still does not work, open it with the terminal like you did previously and post the error here.

https://www.mediafire.com/file/dfz2wr0581gbg28/SporeModderFX.jar/file

[arthrfrts]

It only returns that it wasn't possible to find the main jar class.

[emd4600]

I believe it should be working now, but I can't test it.
