You have 2 options to install freetype2.

1. Option
The most easy and probably best solution is to use macports. Simply follow the instructions here to install macports properly. After you have done this, you open a terminal and type the following command:

sudo port install freetype

This will automatically download and install freetype2 on your system (it might take a while, since freetype2 and all it's dependencies will get compiled).

2. Option
The second option is to download the freetype2 sources and compile and install them manually (this is much more complicated, so you will probably just want to go for option 1). To do this, you will first need to install Xcode (you can get this from the mac appstore). After XCode has sucessfully been installed, run it and go to its preferences. Open the "Downloads" tab and you will see a list of additional tools you can install. Install the "Command Line Tools" by clicking on the install button right next to them. After they have been installed, download the latest version of the sources of freetype2 from here and extract the downloaded files. Now open a terminal and change to the folder in which the sources are now, this will look similar to this:

cd Downloads/freetype-2.4.10

(note that 2.4.10 is currently the most recent version, it might be a different number for you)

Now continue typing in the Terminal:

./configure
make
sudo make install

This will compile and install freetype2 on your system.

Again, I would strongly reccomend you to use the first option, because it is much more convenient and you are also able to update freetype (and a lot of other useful programs) using macports, instead of recompiling and manually installing everything on your own.

Note that this will not only work on 10.7, but on all systems lacking freetype (I think 10.8 does, too, e.g.)

I hope my instructions will help you.

@lamefun: You know pretty damn well that such an idea is not helpful (people would just post their maps on other forums) at all. Oppositely, it creates annoyance and angry discussions here in the forum, which is not what we want here. I know your problem can be a pain in the ass, but there is really no way to get around this, that's life. We can't (and also should not!!!!) force people to use a specific license for their stuff.

Just one other thing: Could you please stop naming your topics like "[COMPLAINT] Super extra mega complaint"? Nobody knows what the topic will be about actually, it only again creates annoyance even before one starts reading the topic. Please give your topics meaningful names (if I am not mistaken, there is even a forum rules that tells you to do so....).

What would be the use of running a local master server? If you are in a lan, the servers will appear in the lan tab anyways...

Do you host the server locally on your computer? If so, have somebody else check if your server really does not appear in the server list, because it happens quite often that only for you, your server will only be listed in the lan tab, but it will be available for all the others in the internet tab.

I agree that there is some problem with this. It's true that low quality custom maps often discourage people from playing custom maps at all, which is a bad thing in my eyes. However, I believe there is not much we can do about it. People are free to host their own servers with the maps they want on them (even if they are really bad) and this is not something that should change.

There was a project called "Qualitee" or similar some time ago which worked on exactly this problem. People could hand in their maps here on the forum and if they met certain criteria (i.e. some quality standards, like no graphic bugs, no hidden paths etc. were met) the map got the tag "QT" (I believe it was like this, don't be mad if I am mistaken). Servers which only hosted "Qualitee" maps were allowed to have the tag "QT" in the server name.

I think it would be a good idea to continue this project, but officially. We could implement something like a "quality maps list" that is automatically by the client retrieved from some server (e.g. the master server) and then the client will display a "QT" sign (maybe an icon or whatever...) in the server browser. This way you can at least find quality maps already in the server browser. People could apply for their maps to be listed on that "quality maps list" here on the forum (or somewhere else) where it will be reviewed by certain authorized people, (like moderators, official map developers etc.) who then judge if the map will be put in the list and if they accept the map, they will put the map on the list.

Please let me know what you think about this idea.

The problem here is, that with this feature, you make it easy for the bad guys, to get their malicious code executed on the victims machines. We would need to find some way to "sandbox" these "mods" so they are very limited in the damage they can do. On the other hand, this might again limit the possibilities of those client mods. However, all of this would be a lot easier in LUA, and the other good thing about lua is that it is a interpreted language, which means you won't get a binary as mod, but you will have the source files, which means you could actually have a look at them and check if they do anything bad, before you execute them. I still think this would be quite a good approach, but it requires a lot of work, and I think we need to do more important stuff first.

This will always need client mods, and if we implement a client mod downloader, well see above what I wrote about that. You said earlier, that the protocol is quite restrictive which makes it hard to implement some things. Could you please name some examples and maybe give some possible solutions? I don't think it would hurt anybody to alter the protocol a bit so that it is easier to implement new things (this would actually be quite nice for vanilla development, too, because we would not need to break compatibility with the old version so fast, when developing).

I think you want too much. Some of your ideas are ok, but it would be kinda hard to realize them. I would just leave things like they are, it's not so bad actually. You say fw is not nice for nodding, well you are right, but I Don't think this is that bad. we are developing "vanilla teeworlds" and not teeworlds, w"world of the mods"...

This is definitely not the right topic to discuss this. Feel free to talk about it in this thread.

You are probably missing libsdl1.2-dev and maybe libfreetype6-dev.

Edit: Haha BeaR, I was faster

1. No we can't.
2. This is not related to vanilla teeworlds, so please place discussions about this in the corresponding mod thread.

This is what you need to type in the console (f1):

bind key minimize

(key is the key, you want to bind minimize to)
But as I already told you, the "minimize" command will not work on Mac OS X (at least in fullscreen mode, it does work in windowed mode however).

It is not possible currently. Teeworlds does implement a function to minimize the window (it is provided by SDL actually) but it does not work on mac osx. We need to wait for SDL 1.3 for this to work sadly.
