We don't know exactly how demo launching works on the Mac side yet, but it's something that's being looked into by several testers.

Hehe, I was just thinking about that this morning. Balshor's in a better domain with Java. There is some sort of .Net for Macintosh thing out there but I don't know how well it will work with all that registry stuff I do in my launcher.
The basic program is really very, very simple. Just pass in certain parameters with the program. My code is on my website so you can get a list of them easy.
Has anybody here investigated playing demos on the Mac client? Does it use the same command-line arguments as the PC client? I don't have a Mac myself, but I'd be interested in making the demo launcher built into my editor work for Macs as well.
(As it's written in Java, the rest of the editor should do just fine on a Mac, although you obviously would need the .jar version instead of the .exe version. You'd also want to configure the JVM to use more memory if you want to work with large demo files.)
