Launching Minetest Provides Blank, White Screen
Launching Minetest Provides Blank, White Screen
No matter if I compile it myself or use someone else's build, on MacOS, I cannot get minetest to stop showing me a blank white window moments after I open the application.
Its very odd because I had minetest working for about a week, and one day it just didn't work at all. I've tried compiling it myself and used other people's builds, but I always get a white, blank window.
Any ideas as to what it could be?

I ran the actual binary inside the package contents of the .app, and I kept getting an error "CGContextGetBlendMode: invalid context 0x0" in the terminal. The white screen also appeared when I ran the executable.
I looked it up and for some reason this error happens during iPhone app development a lot? Is this some sort of error on Apple's part? Its definitely some sort of graphical error.

Re: Launching Minetest Provides Blank, White Screen
I would think this is because of the recent drop of Apple support, but I'm not sure
I don't make messes, I just, er...disturb the local entropy!

Re: Launching Minetest Provides Blank, White Screen
Nothing has changed in regards to Minetest supporting Mac OS, Minetest has never really officially supported it as we don't have anyone with the skills to do so. See how we don't have an official Mac OS build. Note we'll ofc accept PRs to fix Mac OS supportThomasMonroe wrote:I would think this is because of the recent drop of Apple support, but I'm not sure

Re: Launching Minetest Provides Blank, White Screen
I don't usually use MacOS, because there is really no reason to, but its all I've got on my school mac, and I wanted to be able to use minetest from there.
I think maybe I screwed up some graphical settings or one of the services got blocked by my school, because it was working until about a week ago.

Did you try removing minetest.conf? (While app closed, ofc)

Re: Launching Minetest Provides Blank, White Screen
I don’t understand why. Neoascetic has been producing perfectly good builds for years now, and through Travis CI which means no Mac needed even.rubenwardy wrote:Nothing has changed in regards to Minetest supporting Mac OS, Minetest has never really officially supported it as we don't have anyone with the skills to do so.

Hmm, I’m on High Sierra too, works for me. Now I don’t know.
Re: Launching Minetest Provides Blank, White Screen
I have found an error but Idk if it is the reason why minetest crashes. So, when I open the terminal file 'minetest' from the MacOS folder, there appears this:

Does anybody know how to fix this?
UPD: sorry, I had just fixed it by downloading minetest with Homebrew. But the program still doesn't work
UPD2: just found out that I have no folder called 'Minetest' in /Library/Application Support or /Contents/User. Have no idea why because they are stated in README file

Re: Launching Minetest Provides Blank, White Screen
Sounds like your system is a little off. An error is seen at line 4, where the path is in part repeated when it shouldn't.
There should be no Minetest directory in /Library/Application Support but in ~/Library/Application Support .

Re: Launching Minetest Provides Blank, White Screen
Thank you for this because I have found debug.txt :DDDtexmex wrote:There should be no Minetest directory in /Library/Application Support but in ~/Library/Application Support .
And now I have found some information. So, the lines before the separator were before the program crashed and the lines after separator appear every time I open the program now.

Re: Launching Minetest Provides Blank, White Screen
Good to hear! In addition, by looking at your debug.txt it looks like you’re installing games and mods INSIDE the application. That will make you all those added things next update. Instead, place mods and games in directories called that inside ~/L/AS/minetest (the aforementioned path)
