3DRealms Anthology for OSX

Convert 3DRealm's Anthology launcher scripts to something that runs on Dosbox for Mac.

Usage

  1. Install Dosbox for OSX in your Applications folder
  2. Download this project (download button in sidebar) and unzip it
  3. Place 3DR_Anthology-1.0.exe in the same, unzipped, folder
  4. Double-click install.command to execute it
  5. If the script is complaining about Dosbox not being found, modify the path in config.sh. Be careful about using textEdit, as it'll screw up the quotes.
  6. Open the new 3DRealms Anthology OSX folder, and double-click any .command file to start a game

Issues

This script will convert all Dosbox-based games in the Anthology package. However, Duke Nukem 3D Manhattan Project is not Dosbox-based, and will not run on OSX. The script removes this game. Additionally, only the lower-resolution Dos launcher for Duke Nukem 3D is available on OSX.

Manuals

While there's no pretty launcher like on Windows, you can still find the manuals in the game subfolders. It's usually called manual.pdf.

Linux support

I made this script because I wanted to play the games on my mac. While Linux isn't supported out of the box, the script relies on bash, sed, dirname, and tr, so it should be a matter of removing a line or two to make it run on Linux. I simply don't have a linux box right here, so I haven't done it myself. Pull requests are more than welcome!
