Hello, I’ve never used terminal before… after using the “New Terminal at folder” method and typing out “chmod R 777”, I get a two rows of text that I don’t understand. How do I proceed?

I changed the name of the pathing, and the files but it didn’t work, I got it to work by copying and pasting the contents to a ned folder renaming that folder to (title).app and changing the MonsterSouls_0.2.9_mac to MonsterSouls_0.2.9_Mac, Mac with capital M
Monster Souls
Oh I named it "MonsterSouls_0.2.9_mac" this time sorry for the inconsistency.

has anyone tried the newest edition cuz all I am getting is You can’t open the application “MonsterSouls_0.2.9_OSX” because it may be damaged or incomplete.

can someone take a video for me, I do not know how to deal with this
Sterek589
That was it lol thank you

Check that the filename is correct, if it's the latest version it should be MonsterSouls_0.2.5.1_OSX I think.

I have tried both suggestions and neither are working... i moved the app to applications then in terminal i pasted " chmod +x /Applications/MonsterSouls_0.2.4_OSX.app/Contents/MacOS/MonsterSouls_0.2.4_OSX " i get " chmod: /Applications/MonsterSouls_0.2.4_OSX.app/Contents/MacOS/MonsterSouls_0.2.4_OSX: No such file or directory " i also tried the 1. Right click on the application. 2. Select "New Terminal at folder". 3. At the Terminal command line, type “chmod -R 777 .” did not work

I found a different solution at another game which also works in this case, I personally find it more convenient, because you can leave the app wherever you prefer, so I'll share it below: 1. Right click on the application. 2. Select "New Terminal at folder". 3. At the Terminal command line, type “chmod -R 777 .”

That would be great. Thank you.
Monster Souls
I do not know, but if you find you need help with it I can make a post and see if anyone can offer assistance.

Been following and supporting this project for a while, but have never given it a go. Is there anything special it needs to run on Linux?
Monster Souls
Do you need tech support for running the linux version?
SlipperyFrog
Any chance of Linux support?
Ethan Herne
Yes, this worked
Monster Souls
That's good to hear, thanks!
Monster Souls
Thank you, hopefully it still works.
Russell Benton
Yup, I am an apple dev and that's what did to get it working 😅

I will try it later and comment on this if this still works. I am running macOS 12 beta on my Mac so if it runs on this it will also work on any other Mac.
