Running on MacOS, with Aric's 1.8d and Ankmairdor's BugFix v6b, installed a variation of RK76Manishog method without Wine. It means that I am running the stripped-0.5.25 version of strive loaded with PC files. Works perfectly except in two situations:

1. Relatives don't show at all, for anyone, including MC. Instead I get the panel that says: ahdh kahhd

2. When you put a cow in the Farm. If they spend the night there, you can't access them to get the out (for interactions, for example). Only way to get them out is to edit the Save file and change their "Work" from "cow" to "rest" and "Sleep" from "farm" to "communal".

Any suggestions on how to fix that? I am not really a modder. I try to mimic syntax of existing files. At best, I am a tinkerer. So please keep that in mind with your recommendations. Thanks!

Without error messages to show otherwise I would assume that it is due to use of "array1.append_array(array2)", which was added in the more recent version of Godot used by 1.0d. While it would not be entirely equivalent, "array1 += array2" can probably be used as a substitute as long as you don't change anything else.

It appears in the following files:

scripts/Mansion.gd
scripts/slave_tab.gd
scripts/exploration.gd
customScripts/expansiontravel.gd
customScripts/expansionsetup.gd

If you continue to have issues, then I suggest checking the output terminal window that opens with the game. If your game does not open with such a window, then you can create your own by opening Terminal, navigating to the app(cd <path to folder containing app>), and start the game(open -a "Strive For Power").

Please note, none of the modding community, including myself, use Mac so we can only get details and test solutions using Mac users like yourself.

Thanks for your response, and I appreciate your suggestion. As I said, I don't rally know what I'm doing (I'm more of a wannabe than anything), so still trying to parse what you said and how to apply it. I Will do some research and report back and in general, I am happy to provide any information/details and test solutions on Mac. Thanks again.

Update: the issue is definitely the changes in the Godot engine. The vanilla 1.0d displays relatives panel just fine. Even in the modded version, it also seems that from the save data that it is recording the relatives info, interactions/sex do recognize relations but it's not processing it for the relatives panel. Going through the scripts you mentioned and trying to understand their mechanics and functionality leads me to think that there are a lot more features that are available in Aric's expansion that are not functioning properly or at all, and I am just not aware because my default is the vanilla version.

One last thing, if I sound like i know what I am doing, I don't. I've just enjoyed playing the vanilla version enough that the expansion seemed like a no brainer, and that led me down the road of how to get mods working on a Mac. Thanks to your answer here I was able to do it, but I am a little (a lot) out of depth here. I guess that's the long way of me saying is that i am not necessarily hung up on fixing this particular issue, I just want to find a way to enjoy the game, with the expansion. So I am open to any suggestions, aside from getting it to work in a PC environment. Thanks again.

The fix shouldn't require much understanding, just change the text from one layout to the other. For instance in Mansion.gd there is:

halfsiblings.append_array(entry.halfsiblings)

Effectively "halfsiblings" is" array1" and "entry.halfsiblings" is "array2". which can be moved to the other layout:

halfsiblings += entry.halfsiblings

The existing line can be replaced with this line and it should work.

As a quick reminder, the mod system makes text changes to the game when mods are applied, so if you change the text of the mod files you will probably need to re-apply the mod for those changes to have any effect.

Brilliant. It was exactly that line of code with the halfsiblings that was breaking it, since that relation was not present in the vanilla version and I guess it didn't know what to do with the data. Anyways, fixed just in time to realize that Aric's v1.9 is out :D Offer still stands if you'd like me to test things on a mac. Thanks again.
