Can't play on mac OS, will detail what I tried.

Post by CreatePerhaps »

So, I'm new to 2009scape. I want to play, so I saw I need: https://adoptium.net/temurin/releases/?version=11
jdk-11.0.19+7 installed as a .pkg file, but since I already have Oracle's java 8 installed I googled how to switch it via terminal.
% export JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home -v 11.0.19`
is the command, so now when I do
java -version
I see:
openjdk version "11.0.19" 2023-04-18
OpenJDK Runtime Environment Temurin-11.0.19+7 (build 11.0.19+7)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Temurin-11.0.19+7 (build 11.0.19+7, mixed mode)
so now I renamed the '2009scape-launcher-osx-sc' launcher to 2009scape-launcher-osx-sc.jar since .jar is a java file.
And the game won't open... what am I doing wrong?

it's not a java file. There wouldn't be an explicitly OSX build if it was java. You need to chmod +x it and execute it as a binary executable because that's what it is

I suppose that is why it won't run. I didn't see detailed instructions of that, do you know how I can do that @Ceikry?

chmod +x it and then you can run it as an executable. It doesn't really need detailed instructions. :P

Those are the instructions

1. open terminal
2. navigate to where you downloaded the file
3. sudo chmod +x filename
4. input password
5. profit
