Impossible to demo edit with Mac?

Bah, delete this. I think I should've posted this in the Mac section >.< I figured I'm a player, and I have a question related to CoX.

If it is in the right place, here's my question:
I have a question, why is it impossible to demo edit with a Mac? I'd expect it to be EASIER to make programs for demo editing on Mac (For it having awesome graphics and stuff.). IS there a program that allows you to demo edit on Mac? If not, WHY not?

It's not. Just open up a demo file with a text editor and have at it.

The "demo editing" programs that are out for CoX do not edit in a the visual way you think they do. They're just glorified text editors, usually using MS .NET or similar stuff. They'll just gather up all the commands that are assigned to each object, allowing you to change them more easily.

As to why not? Nobody has decided to go and make one.

Ah, you know I totally forgot. But what about playing the stuff without the HUD and all that? Theres no program to do that for Mac.

The reason I'm not using PC is because the only PC that has CoX on it, is my sister's, and she's usually on it all day talking to her boyfriend.

(By the way, thank you for replying)

Between the much shorter amount of time the Mac client has been out, and the (presumably) smaller population of players...... there most likely hasn't been anyone inspired to write editor/etc programs for the platform.

That doesnt help me very much.

But you do have a point.

All I really need is a way to play the file on Mac. I'll keep trying, and I'll let you know if I find a way, but if anyone has the answer, please post it.

Whenever I try to open the .cohdemo file in CoH, it just brings me to the login screen, like usual. This is a real pickle :/

Edit: I found this topic, which helps a little, but it can never find my file, for some reason. http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=142523

EDIT 2: Figured it out. This topic may be closed now (If I can close it on my own, can someone tell me how?)

Just leave it be. Someone else may come along with a similar question, use search, and find this thread. Deleting a thread you've started is frowned upon these boards.

In due time, it'll get purged.
