Skulltag immediatly closes after opening it

[hithere231]

I am running Mac OS X Lion. When i open up skulltag, it immediatly closes. And there is no zdoom folder in the application support folder as well. Someone on the skulltag irc tried to help me. But i still can't open it. Can anyone help me?

open a terminal, and run "skulltag > skulltag.log 2> skulltag-err.log"

then post both skulltag.log and skulltag-err.log

skulltag.log goes over the char limit for both.

It's probably a case of not being able to find an iwad. I recommend installing Doomseeker to handle launching the program.

To determine the cause in more detail. Open a terminal `cd /Applications/Skulltag.app/Contents/MacOS/` followed by ./skulltag. This will allow Skulltag to print to the terminal. Do note that going fullscreen might not work with Skulltag on Lion.

12-07-16 9:41:54.788 PM [0x0-0x199199].net.skulltag.Skulltag 1. Place one or more of these wads in the same directory as Skulltag.
12-07-16 9:41:54.788 PM [0x0-0x199199].net.skulltag.Skulltag 2. Edit your skulltag-username.ini and add the directories of your iwads
12-07-16 9:41:54.788 PM [0x0-0x199199].net.skulltag.Skulltag to the list beneath [IWADSearch.Directories]

yeah it can't find the IWADs

also I like the part where skulltag.log is getting populated with things that are obviously not output from skulltag - must be mac bullshit
