I can't open the file on my laptop

Mammoth

Did game salad change the way it sources its files? I send the project file to my laptop and I can't open it. What do I do?

You know its possible the file has just been corrupted. This used to happen often if you always used the save function instead of save as. I have not seen it in a while but I would guess its not gone for good. Does the same exact file open on other machines? Are you 100% sure you have the same version of GS running on both machines?

Why can't you open it? What error are you getting?

It says it cannot read the file.

Mammoth

Alright, I know this may seem like a silly question. But in lion there is no view package option.

jonmulcahy

yes there is:

Mammoth

Odd... it's not there. There is nothing after open with...

Mammoth

So it isn't there on my laptop but it is there on my mac mini. Huzzah!

tenrdrmer

is your laptop a hackintosh? I know it seems odd but that could honestly explain it. Hackintosh's are always missing odd things and it seems like it different for each install for each Distro.

If its a real mac then I have no idea.

Mammoth

Yeah, this is so odd. It's a real mac and I when I delete the file like TB said it still says unable to read file.

jonmulcahy

What if you create a w project and save it. Can you open that.

What if you drag the file onto the GS app?

Mammoth

Yeah, if I create a new project and save it I can open it.
Dragging does not open the file.

I should also note that the file is only 1k. I think it should be bigger. Does game salad take images from the hard drive now instead of copying over the files?

Mammoth

I also tried renaming the gsuserfile. That didn't work either. Is there any admin settings that game salad taps into that I might not have enabled on my laptop?

mynameisace

Nope, still copies them over Buddy.

You tried a fresh install... Really weird behaviour

I also tried another file from my mini it also didn't work. They are both 0.9.92 I tried a fresh install on both of them.

I only have two machines. Can anybody test my project?

I don't know what happens but I can select show package contents for projects that I make on my laptop and not my mini. Both Lion versons are the same.

And it doesn't work the other way either. Does anybody else have this problem?

Your link doesn't work to test

Mammoth

I took it down... But I think I might have found some kind of bug. I will send the file to GS. Im just work on the game on my mini. I was looking forward to working at starbucks all day. Haha!
