v0.8.1
fb50147

This release fixes known compatibility issues with Mac minis, as well as an embarrassing issue with the journal application towards the end of the game.

System Requirements

  • macOS Sierra (10.12) and above
  • (More to be determined...)

Known Issues

  • Fullscreen mode isn't recognized properly by the game. More info can be found in issue #13.
  • Resizing the window towards the very end of the game is known to have a slight graphical bug. We recommend you play in windowed mode at the original resolution. More info can be found in issue #23.
  • The macOS implementation of the journal app has a bit of a startup latency to it. More info can be found in issue #27.

Please report any issues that you encounter and, if possible, provide screenshots, so I can fix them as soon as possible. 😄

Installation

This build intentionally omits essential game files such as the maps, dialogue, graphics, audio, etc. and a copy purchased via Steam is needed to play.

1. Download OneShot Through Steam

  • Download SteamCMD from https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/client/installer/steamcmd_osx.tar.gz and extract.
  • Open the Terminal and drag the 'steamcmd.sh' command from within to the new command prompt and press Enter. Steam may need to update.
  • The line Steam> will appear in the Terminal window, type login <your_username> and press Enter. If you are asked to enter password / Steam Guard code, enter them. (I recommend you login through the GUI and choose "Remember me", I've heard about issues with authentication through the command line interface.)
  • After login, type @sSteamCmdForcePlatformType windows and press Enter.
  • Type app_update 420530 validate and press Enter. OneShot's game data will be installed in
    ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/OneShot.
  • Once it has finished, you can close the terminal and proceed

2. Run the macOS Installer

  • Extract the archive you downloaded from this page. This should contain the two game apps, an xScripts.rxdata file, a Graphics folder, and install.command.
  • Double-click install.command. The files will be copied to Steam's OneShot directory, and a link will be made into the user's Applications folder just like a regular Steam game.
  • After the installation, The OneShot directory will be opened. You can play OneShot by double-clicking OneShot or launching it from the Launchpad/Spotlight.

Troubleshooting

cannot open install.command file or OneShot.app (unidentified developer)

Right-click the file and select 'Open', and then click 'Open' again. Since the apps are unsigned, macOS treats them as potential threats, though I promise they are not! This is only an issue until the official Steam release is published.

The game immediately quits after launching it

Most likely, you forgot to launch Steam. SyngleChance is designed to run outside of Steam as well, and as such does not launch it for you. You must also be logged into an account with OneShot in its library. Still not working? File a bug report.

An error Unable to open 'Data/xScripts.rxdata' occurs

Move _______.app and OneShot.app to somewhere outside the OneShot directory, open and quit them, then move them again to OneShot directory.

Something happened and I need to delete my save files to fix it!

Unlike the real world, there is, in fact, a time machine for this one. If something catastrophic happens and you need to restart your world, you can delete the save.dat file located in ~/Library/Application Support/Oneshot, or on Linux, ~/.local/share/Oneshot.

The second app isn't connecting to the main one

I've taken extra precautions to make sure that these issues don't happen. But sometimes, they do. In case the second app won't update the graphics for one reason or another, try deleting the file located in /var/oneshot-pipe...and file a bug report.
