Windows Translation To Mac

Question

Any idea how this process could be performed on a mac? I know Activity Monitor gives some info about the processes that are running, but I don&#x27;t see any form of a command line like Windows has. Any help would be greatly appreciated.&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D; &#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;Open Process Explorer and find the process for the game - it should be javaw.exe or java.exe - and right-click it, then select Properties.Select and copy the contents of the Command line box - most of it is probably off-screen, but you can use the Select All option in the right-click menu.Open Notepad and paste it all there, add "start " at the begining (without the quotes), and a new line (Enter) at the end. (just type start, press space, press Ctrl-V, press Enter)Save it as "SK.cmd" in your game folder - make sure Notepad didn&#x27;t add a TXT extension, rename if necessary.Finally, make a shortcut to this file on your Desktop or wherever you wish and try it out.

Sounds kind of bogus to me, but here goes...First off, Mac OS X has a command line interface. Try /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.appOnce in there you can use ps to get a list of processes. You&#x27;ll probably need a couple of switches to show all the details of all the processes... -axwww should get you going:ps -axwwwYou&#x27;ll need to work through the output to find the Java process in question. Hopefully it&#x27;ll be obvious, since there may be other Java processes running. You can also use something like grep to filter the output:ps -axwww | grep -i javaOnce you&#x27;ve found it you can copy the full command line to a .command file to make it double-clickable.

I found the process using that command, and created a command file out of it. When I execute the shell though, it doesn&#x27;t launch the game. This has been a three day brainkiller, hah. Here&#x27;s what I got: /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java -classpath /Applications/Spiral Knights.app/Contents/Resources/Java/./code/config.jar:/Applications/Spiral Knights.app/Contents/Resources/Java/./code/projectx-config.jar:/Applications/Sp iral Knights.app/Contents/Resources/Java/./code/projectx-pcode.jar:/Applications/Spi ral Knights.app/Contents/Resources/Java/./code/lwjgl.jar:/Applications/Spiral Knights.app/Contents/Resources/Java/./code/lwjgl_util.jar:/Applications/Spiral Knights.app/Contents/Resources/Java/./code/jinput.jar:/Applications/Spiral Knights.app/Contents/Resources/Java/./code/jutils.jar:/Applications/Spiral Knights.app/Contents/Resources/Java/./code/jshortcut.jar:/Applications/Spiral Knights.app/Contents/Resources/Java/./code/commons-beanutils.jar:/Applications/ Spiral Knights.app/Contents/Resources/Java/./code/commons-digester.jar:/Applications/S piral Knights.app/Contents/Resources/Java/./code/commons-logging.jar -Xdock:icon&#x3D;/Applications/Spiral Knights.app/Contents/Resources/Java/./rsrc/ui/icon/desktop.icns -Xdock:name&#x3D;Spiral Knights -Dcom.threerings.getdown&#x3D;true -Xmx256M -XX:+AggressiveOpts -XX:SoftRefLRUPolicyMSPerMB&#x3D;10 -Djava.library.path&#x3D;/Applications/Spiral Knights.app/Contents/Resources/Java/./native -Dorg.lwjgl.util.NoChecks&#x3D;true -Dsun.java2d.d3d&#x3D;false -Dappdir&#x3D;/Applications/Spiral Knights.app/Contents/Resources/Java/. -Dresource_dir&#x3D;/Applications/Spiral Knights.app/Contents/Resources/Java/./rsrc -Dkongregate&#x3D;true -DkongregateName&#x3D;XXX -DkongregateId&#x3D;XXX -DkongregateAuthToken&#x3D;XXX -Xmx512M com.threerings.projectx.client.ProjectXAppIt contains all of my correct info, but even typing "start" without quotes at the beginning of the command file, and pasting that info doesn&#x27;t launch the game. I tried placing the files in multiple locations within the game as well, but no dice. Any other ideas on how I can get this working? Right now I&#x27;m sifting through the Java class files trying to find out where it inserts this info according to the Developer&#x27;s readme they included with the launch portion of the game. # Parameters passed to the JVM (Java Virtual Machine)jvmarg &#x3D; [mac os x-x86_64] -d32jvmarg &#x3D; -Xmx256Mjvmarg &#x3D; -XX:+AggressiveOptsjvmarg &#x3D; -XX:SoftRefLRUPolicyMSPerMB&#x3D;10# jvmarg &#x3D; -XX:ErrorFile&#x3D;%APPDIR%/hs_err.logjvmarg &#x3D; -Djava.library.path&#x3D;%APPDIR%/nativejvmarg &#x3D; -Dorg.lwjgl.util.NoChecks&#x3D;truejvmarg &#x3D; -Dsun.java2d.d3d&#x3D;falsejvmarg &#x3D; -Dappdir&#x3D;%APPDIR%jvmarg &#x3D; -Dresource_dir&#x3D;%APPDIR%/rsrcI&#x27;m assuming I couldn&#x27;t just add that code into the .plist since that contains the launch parameters for the game?&lt;?xml version&#x3D;"1.0" encoding&#x3D;"UTF-8" standalone&#x3D;"no"?&gt;&lt;plist version&#x3D;"1.0"&gt;  &lt;dict&gt;    &lt;key&gt;CFBundleName&lt;/key&gt;    &lt;string&gt;Spiral Knights&lt;/string&gt;    &lt;key&gt;CFBundleShortVersionString&lt;/key&gt;    &lt;string&gt;1.0&lt;/string&gt;    &lt;key&gt;CFBundleGetInfoString&lt;/key&gt;    &lt;string&gt;spiral 20120725221629&lt;/string&gt;    &lt;key&gt;CFBundleAllowMixedLocalizations&lt;/key&gt;    &lt;string&gt;false&lt;/string&gt;    &lt;key&gt;CFBundleInfoDictionaryVersion&lt;/key&gt;    &lt;string&gt;6.0&lt;/string&gt;    &lt;key&gt;CFBundleExecutable&lt;/key&gt;    &lt;string&gt;JavaApplicationStub&lt;/string&gt;    &lt;key&gt;CFBundleDevelopmentRegion&lt;/key&gt;    &lt;string&gt;English&lt;/string&gt;    &lt;key&gt;CFBundlePackageType&lt;/key&gt;    &lt;string&gt;APPL&lt;/string&gt;    &lt;key&gt;CFBundleSignature&lt;/key&gt;    &lt;string&gt;????&lt;/string&gt;    &lt;key&gt;CFBundleIconFile&lt;/key&gt;    &lt;string&gt;desktop.icns&lt;/string&gt;    &lt;key&gt;Java&lt;/key&gt;    &lt;dict&gt;      &lt;key&gt;MainClass&lt;/key&gt;      &lt;string&gt;com.threerings.getdown.launcher.Getdown&lt;/string&gt;      &lt;key&gt;JVMVersion&lt;/key&gt;      &lt;string&gt;1.5+&lt;/string&gt;      &lt;key&gt;ClassPath&lt;/key&gt;      &lt;array&gt;        &lt;string&gt;$JAVAROOT/getdown-pro.jar&lt;/string&gt;      &lt;/array&gt;      &lt;key&gt;VMOptions&lt;/key&gt;      &lt;string&gt;-Dappdir&#x3D;.&lt;/string&gt;      &lt;key&gt;WorkingDirectory&lt;/key&gt;      &lt;string&gt;$APP_PACKAGE/Contents/Resources/Java&lt;/string&gt;    &lt;/dict&gt;  &lt;/dict&gt;&lt;/plist&gt;
