Problems installing from GOG on Mac

Hi,

I followed the instructions in the documentation but I am getting this error message after using the terminal command: "sudo cp -p -R "/Applications/Ultima VII™ - The Black Gate + The Forge of Virtue.app/Contents/Resources/Ultima 7 The Complete Edition.boxer/C.harddisk/U7/ultima7/STATIC" "/Library/Application Support/Exult/blackgate"

Error message:
cp: /Applications/Ultima VII™ - The Black Gate + The Forge of Virtue.app/Contents/Resources/Ultima 7 The Complete Edition.boxer/C.harddisk/U7/ultima7/STATIC: No such file or directory

So I guess the files were not copied.

When I run Exult, I get the message:"Could not find the static data for either "The Black Gate" or "Serpent Isle". Please edit the configuration file and restart Exult"

Any way around this?

Thanks.

yeah, GOG changed the paths in their app again (and added a double space in the app name...).
Annoying...

Code: Select all

sudo cp -p -R "/Applications/Ultima VII™  - The Black Gate + The Forge of Virtue.app/Contents/Resources/game/STATIC" "/Library/Application Support/Exult/blackgate"
That should work

Thanks so much for this. Exult is working for Black Gate now :)

Sorry to be a bother, but I'm totally clueless when it comes to these things. I'm having the same problem with Serpent Isle + Silver Seed. I tried playing around with the spacing but didn't work.

it's not just the extra space in the app name, but the location of the game files has changed the same way it changed in the BG case:

Code: Select all

sudo cp -p -R "/Applications/Ultima VII™  - Serpent Isle + The Silver Seed.app/Contents/Resources/game/STATIC" "/Library/Application Support/Exult/serpentisle"

Hey Dominus,

I managed to get Serpent Isle to work. Thanks again.
