Installing a conversion on mac+steam - Tommyboypsp - 03-29-2013
I've looked up a ton of guides, and they all say the same.
I've got all of the files merged, and all guides say I have to do this:

But it still doesn't work.. what am I doing wrong?
I remember doing this for White Night a long time ago, and I think it worked then.

From what i can see, you're using a mac. For Macs, use .scpt files instead of .bat files. If you were meaning something else, then i can't help. The language is too dizzy to see!

JustAnotherPlayer, .scpt files are generally know the not work or cause hassle when it comes to macs and FC (the FC may not even come with it). The way he's doing it is the best way when it's capable of being ran through Steam, though I'm not quite sure of the problem as I've never done it on a mac before or really seen comments about it.

It's in steam when you go to the Amnesia start options."Start options - Amnesia: The Dark Descent
Thee options are only for advanced players.

Anything to the left doesn't matter. They're names of folders like music and pictures and whatnot.
Yeah Statyk, I looked up guides about how to install conversions, but I can only find guides about White Night. It comes down to entering a file (something like main_init.cfg) in the starting options, and I'm pretty sure this is the amnesiahill equivalent of that file/folder.
In the readme file it explains how to install it on Mac+retail, and it has a command for the terminal that redirects to the very same file.
Quote:do shell script "open /Applications/Amnesia.app --args amnesiahill_config/Amnesia Silent Hill_main_init.cfg"I've tried doing this, but instead of using the retail version (Amnesia.app) and redirecting it, but I can't get that to work either. I've never used the terminal before.
