OK, I was sure this had been covered elsewhere - but my searches arent finding anything helpful.  We have successfully got gnu running on the mac (Mac OSX - 10.4), but still cant analyse matches.  On converting files in javafibs - which it seems to do quite happily - the jellyfish file remains woefully empty....
Where are they going - is it doing it at all??  Does anyone have answers better than the current transferring the unconverted file from one machine to the other, converting it there and then analysing as usual?   :wacko:

Well, I am not a specialist for Mac. Normally JavaFIBS has his internal match-files in a directory JavaFIBS2001/matches/internal. Those internal match-files have the ending .match. When converting them, new files are created and stored unter JavaFIBS2001/matches/jellyfish. Those files have the ending .mat. Only those .mat-files are readable by GNUBG.

Hope this helps.

Yours,

Hardy    :rolleyes:

It may be helpful to see if there is some sort of error message. There are two ways to start the Java Virtual Machine. One is attached to a console (shell window, dos box, whatever you call it) and the other is unattached in the GUI.

Javafibs does not write its error messages (Exceptions) to files, so the only way to see them is starting it from a console, where they will be printed. Ask your local wiz how to do that on Mac OSX. If Javafibs does any output, please paste it here. If there is none, this is really a hard question to answer ...

Sorry Diane,


I wasn't reading your message carefully enough.... my answer didn't help at all  :(

No idea what's wrong then.

hi
ive managed to import into gnu from javafibs,via converter.(os x) when you use the gnu import command - ensure you go to java/matches/jellyfish and double click it - you should see your saved converted .mat file. if not check your mac directory to see if it has been saved.
gl

ps i want to be able to use my macfibs saved games  and import them into gnu (rather than from java fibs) any ideas

lastly gnu seems hard for a bear wid sawdust tweenears like me...:)
