Knowledgeable Mac (OS X) xcode coder (still) needed!

[Crymson]

Cool. Now could some Mac person please help us figure out why the fonts in the Qt branch do not work? This seemingly small issue is holding back a lot of development right now :-S

There are a ton more things wrong with it besides fonts.
I would be glad if it was just a font issue on windows builds.
http://developer.wz2100.net/ticket/1549
Buginator sent me the files to compile the windows builds, but he hasn't been around to answer mails.
Is there another dev I can ask questions to?

Right now what we could really use some help with #2220 since without it the automated versioning system the mac builds use is broken.

[macuser]

so why do you want git and not svn? i thought you guys still used svn

Nope, we switched to git a while back.

[macuser]

well i think probably the best way i can help out is with artwork at least I know what i'm doing

We need someone to rewrite the mac crash handler, and the mac dialog support... simple right !?

Hi. I might be able to help squash a few bugs here and there. I have been doing Cocoa programming for several years, am less familiar with OpenGL and such, but wouldn't mind trying to help out where I can.

I have the base version from CompileGuideMac compiled and running. If someone wants to give more specifics on what to fix and where, that'd be good.

There are some details here: viewtopic.php?p=75092#p75092

But the best thing to do would be to come on IRC to #warzone2100-dev on freenode (try #warzone2100 if you cannot get into #warzone2100-dev because requires having a nickname set up).

About not been familiar with Opengl, that's not a big deal, you'll only see as much opengl as you want (the issues on Mac do not need Opengl experience AFAIK).

First post has been updated with info.

Questions:

1. In the new qt master build, are all the dialogs completely written in qt?
2. How is the dialog designed... is it made up of png files that tell it how to look?
3. A while back there was a betawidget ui proposed why not use the png files from that - it look so much better

No. Not yet. We want everything else to work fine first. Then we switch to using Qt as basis, then we start changing over the GUI.

Ah, thanks... most helpful

i am quite glad to announce that i will learn to code... in august 2011. to be honest, I don't even know whether the class i will be taking will even teach me anything useful, but if it does, i will fight to my last breath to keep the mac build of warzone alive!
don't give up!
