RSS/RO installer for Mac.

[Kerbal01]

I use a Mac as my main Ksp computer. I getting bored with regular Ksp, despite heavily using mods. I want to try RSS/RO (and all the recommended mods). The problem is, CKAN (what they recommend to use to install the complicated RSS/RO) doesn't work on Mac. Are there plans for a bespoke RSS/RO installer for any system (especially Mac). Or any other way, besides running around and installing RSS/RO one mod and dependency at a time. I don't want to use Mono, but I can use WineBottler.

Get mono. Type "mono ckan" in a terminal.

During the time you wait for another solution you could be installing mono for this.

DarthVader:

A couple of things to keep in mind when using RO/RSS on an OSX system (learn from my struggles).

1. Installing Mono and using CKAN is 100% worth it. Because of the various files which need to be copied, and because OSX sometimes has different copy behavior than Windows based systems, you really, really, really, want it to do it for you.

2. You will likely need to run at the lowest RSS texture settings (2048), depending on what version of OSX you are running. Even loading up RSS and NOTHING ELSE, will sometimes cause malloc errors with even 4096 textures, especially on OS 10.10. It's not a matter of the amount of RAM used, it's just a stability thing on certain systems. You can still crash with 2.0gb used.

3. You will need to go through and manually delete a lot of unnecessary parts. Remember, OSX Unity has a higher base overhead than other OS's.

Hope this helps.

I actually manually installed it and it worked.

You type:

cd downloads

mono ckan.exe

Just for future reference
