Optimizers For Mac?

Yeah, this thread can be a moot piece of spun cotton, but are there any map optimizers for Mac?

I feel a touch unsafe having to pass a map back and forth to have it optimized 'n' stuff.

So, are there any map optimizers for Mac/Java?

In case Pyrogasm's reading... I know we discussed a certain taboo(for this forum) on MSN... but I'd like to hear if anybody else knows anything...

if there are, they are seriously dwarfed by vex's optamizer.

And, theres plenty of people in this community who are prefectly trustworth for this kinda thing. (optamizing a map for you)

and, pyro has msn? O.o

I do have MSN; I talk to people in other countries with it because AIM is a USA thing.

I live in another country and you didn't give me you MSN, you gave me the AIM :P

Anyways, I run WC3 on a Mac, and for that kinda stuff I'm thinking of booting up Windows on Parallels and doing it that way. Also, my family have 2 PCs, so I can do that on there (USB Stick = life saver). The other reason I sometimes use WE on windows is because on the Mac WE you can't do the shift-click to bypass statistic caps, e.g. set Unholy Aura to give 500% increases.

Have you an Intel Mac or a PC lying about?

please get a Mac with 486 architecture (aka a PC that can run Mac OS/X) , you can then use vmware very fast and have 3d acceleration on it, or you can even dual boot windows if you want.

Most tools don't need anythin fancy to run, so even emulation with no 3d acceleration will work for them, someothers, mainly the ones that mod the editor need more things.

Because I didn't have MSN then. Also, I knew you had AIM because of iChat :)

I have one of the old PPC models for my computer... my parents wont let me use their DuoCore laptop...

If it's DuoCore you don't want to; you want a Core 2 Duo :D Though it WOULD run windows.

Surely you have a friend with windows? Even someone here could do it for you if you trust them enough, or you could stick with your current methods.

My friends fall in to these 3 categories -

1. Technophobic, will not go near a computer even if their life depended on it.
2. WoW Addict, will not get out of WoW even if their life depended on it.
3. Lazy, have a computer that was probably made in the 1980's and would explode if you updated it's system.

Core2Duo, DuoCore... pleh... If I could get one, I would, but what's a 13 year old to do...

Haha don't worry about it. I spent an entire 2 months wages on this thing (I work part time).

Anyways, MSN will have to do?

Bleeh... I got VMWare and it's for intel... not PPC...

Of course. These things won't run on IBM architecture. The movement to Intel x86 processors means that Apple computers can potentially run anything that windows can. THe problem now it the way that the OS reads files. It is possible that Apple could design Leopard to run exe files an then OS X would be unhinged in anyway, buy I doubt that will happen, and we'll continue to see packaged .app(s) for years and years to come.

What is interesting is that the software development for the windows platform has dropped 10% since 2006, so hopefully we'll see an increase in development towards Mac OS X, Unix and Linux. However, this means that you still need an Intel Processor, which you don't have. If you know anyone with one, or a PC, you can simply ask them. You keep saying you don't but that's hard to believe. There must be a PC somewhere you can access?

10% !

It has droped 10% towards .net, which is MS' attempt to avoid Java, and is as full of windows only crap as winapi development.

Java is a brilliant platform. They should be harnessing it, especially since they had that big dispute and Java is still a big success.
