MAC up to date

For a while I have been using a slightly older version of RW because of issues with the WWDC version. Well all that stopped today when I started to run into issues as I continued to modify scripts and/or replace them with something and everything became all screwy. So I tried something and that was swapping out the guts of the WWDC version with the slightly older but still compatible version and it worked fine. I suspect the executing icon was currupt and messing things up.
To get up to date just replace the guts of the slightly older version with the WWDC version. And you'll be up to date with the PC users.

1) in the WWDC version I went into the contents/Resources folder
2) copied the contents of that folder
3) then I went into the slightly older version at its top level and pasted over what was there.
Note do not replace the icon with the newer one its corrupt.
Okay so here are the folders and files you copied:
common,
console.log,
editor,
macCarbRW.icns,
main.cs,
rw,
and show
And in the older version you just pasted over the old contents. There you have it the steps I went through.
I think it would be good to continue the mac updates in a similar manner until the final stages when you do need the exact file structure that the WWDC version has. Well just a thought.

What I changed was the structure of the WWDC version when I changed it by using the existing working structure of the slightly older version. I merely just simplified the content. How? Well instead of hiding it in a package with an executable icon I brought everything to the surface like the older versions of the build. Plus I used a working/non corrupt icon. Here are the steps I went through:1) in the WWDC version I went into the contents/Resources folder
2) copied the contents of that folder
3) then I went into the slightly older version at its top level and pasted over what was there.

As I continue to play and mess around with my changes to updated RW I have found there are a few bumps here and there but stuff I feel can be fixed with not much trouble. The old main bug in the WWDC consisted of Mac users not being able to connect to other servers. This I feel was due to a corrupted executable icon. In this Manual update they can connect. I am still testing it and finding a few things here and there that need to be fixed but I am confident that they are all minor. As I find these bugs I'll need help fixing them, so I'll post the bugs only in this thread. Once done, I'll gladly pass the debugged version over so mac users can download with confidence it will work.
PS If you need a mac user in the core team I'll gladly help out in spare time inbetween classes.
