I want screenshots(if possable) or highly detailed screenshots not something like the readme file beacause this is what i dont get"but you need to type the name of the application inside the application package. So, from the command-line from the directory that contains the application package"

Ok here's what I do:

1) Put the TT app in my home folder.

2) So I can log in and play I make a copy and put that in my Apps folder.

3) Launch terminal.

4) You can then paste this in the terminal to launch (this is for team scrum on the Frantic maps).Be sure to add your user name (login name).

/Users/YourUserNameHere/ThinkTanks\ v1.1/ThinkTanks.app/Contents/MacOS/ThinkTanks\ OSX -dedicated -mission RED -Game TS

Then press return

See the "read me" for the abreviations for other game styles/terrains.

Hope this helps.

Hmm I don't know where the exit is coming from. You have the app in your home folder? Is it still named ThinkTanks?

You can do this. Open the terminal. Drop the TT app tank on it. It wont load the server but it will give you half the command. Paste that on a text edit page or sticky and add the "OSX -dedicated -mission RED -Game TS" part and you should have the whole command to paste back into the terminal.

Repair your permissions. Or you can change them by using the get info box.
