X Plugin Manager and SPK Tools for Mac v. 1.21 and AP Bonus Pack How-To (5/4/2012)

Ugh, sorry guys, I've been somewhat busy with college life so I haven't visited this stuff in a while. I'm still not sure what's causing the .NET problem with the listview of installed packages not showing, but I think it's relatively new, either with regard to the Plugin Manager or to some newer version of wine. This will require a bit of thinking.
With regard to the wineserver PID thing, could you guys provide a bit more context (when/how did it first start, etc.)
@Jaydaya: Really? I didn't notice any change in my install of the BP, but I guess I haven't thoroughly tested it since 1.1. Remind me, did you install the BP into the addons folder?
@svenje: This will likely work, but I advise caution, as you might accidentally install the BP inside the Plugin Manager wrapper itself, instead of in your game's install. Also, I think the wineskin Install Windows Program function may ask for the .exe to open when the wrapper is executed (although I'm not entirely certain), so if you do try this, make sure you link back to XPluginManager.exe

Thanks, I'll try that this evening and report back. I'm running from the Direct2Mac version as the disc version doesn't yet have a standalone 3.2 update from VP but I have the dummy .exe in the right place I believe.svenje wrote:I downloaded the bonus pack.exe
started wine then install windows program.
The bonus pack.exe is a windows program so I choose that to install.
the destination was the folder where u put the "fake" X3ap.exe in.
if you bought it from app store it should be in
Contents >> Resources >> Data
@icEPiraka: the Wineserver PID error occured minutes before I posted. It was the first time I had ever installed it, the plugin manager or anything to do with modifying any game and it happened during the first run through of the instructions in the OP at the point of opening the command line tool.
Edit: I'm not too fussed with modifying the game past getting the bonus pack for CAG etc. so as long as I can get that running, I can live without having to access Cycrows whatsit.

by the way I bought the game from AppStore.
Can someone tell me, where/how to unlock it?
Also I'm very happy that some people help the mac users

Aright guys. I apologize for my great hiatus, I've been rather busy as of late. But now, because of updates to wine, I believe all problems with the Plugin Manager's windows have been solved. Expect imminent release.
Also, I realize my instructions for installing the Bonus Pack are incredibly complex, and therefore incredibly stupid. All you need to do is perform a right click on the Bonus Pack .exe, select Open With, and use the Plugin Manager to open the installer.
Edit: Update Complete.
v. 1.2 (4/23/2012)
Updated Wrapper and Wine versions. All glitches with regards to .NET and windows should be eliminated.
Mod Merger app now available.

No worries. All relevant info is on the front page, which should be all up to date. In short, just right click (or control click) the .exe and select "Open With" > "Other" from the dropdown and manually select the Plugin Manager. You may have to mess around with file permissions first (see front page).glennbroce wrote:Ice and all, thanks for all work.
Is there now an updated instruction set to install the bonus pack?
I want to install the bonus pack, but with the earlier versions and revisions of the various programs involved, I'm confused and hesitant to start. I'm fairly new to the Mac. Thanks!
Basically, all the revisions I have done have nothing to do with being physically able to open .exe files: they only pertain to being able to run the Plugin Manager itself. If all people were doing was just running the .exes, then they could have done that from the start without great difficulty.
It works
Followed your instructions, had some trouble, until I realized I was trying to install on my backup drive, didn't notice the "C" drive instead of the "Z" have used only macs since 1988. Great work, instructions are very clear, my reading is not so much so. System Mac OS 10.6.8 french, with the deliver2mac app. Question dose the plugin manager work for all kinds of X-verse addons. I mostly a newbe, but I've seen some of the interesting stuff on the form, looking forward to long nights of gameplay. Thank you for all your hard work.
