Dominions II: Technical/Hardware Issues

To make files "read&write" right click on Dominions2.app and choose get info. Now you'll see ownership and permissions at the bottom. Making them "read&write" should enable iPatch to run.

Stunning. I tried it the hard way. The patch ran successfully, thanks.
Now, about adding MODS and MAPS...can this only be done via terminal as the "finder" doesn't allow viewing beneath the dominions2.app itself?

Again, right clicking should give you that option.

Dominions 2.16
Mac OS X
Powerbook laptop (not sure the video card)
SDL version that shipped with the game.

In windowed mode my mouse y coordinates seem to be inverted. Is this an SDL or Dominions issue, and is it going to be addressed? Windowed mode is unplayable like this.

Thanks

One command switch seems to address this issue (from the relevant text file in /doc):
" --badmouse Inverts y-coords in windowed mode. Cures SDL bug on Mac OS X"

What version of OS X are you using?

If you're not comfortable poking around in application packages, implementing that fix is a bit of a pain.

I'm running 10.3

I'm comfortable enough with technical things, but I'm not sure how to add command switches to the launch path...can someone describe how to do that?
