[QUESTION] Minimize TW on MAC? (Page 1 of 2)

Actually there was a function like this some time ago and it is reimplemented in the refactor branch, but in teeworlds-0.5.2 it is not available. If you are able to compile teeworlds yourself, here is a patch that adds this command to teeworlds-0.5.2.

Syntax of the command in f1 console:

minimize

You might want to bind it to some key:

bind f11 minimize

Patch:

     MACRO_REGISTER_COMMAND("connect", "s", CFGFLAG_CLIENT, con_connect, 0x0, "Connect to the specified host/ip");

How to apply the patch:
1. Copy the patch into a file named minimize.patch somewhere on your computer.
2. Enter the following in a console:

cd /path/to/teeworlds-0.5.2-src/
patch -p1 < /path/to/minimize.patch

This function will work on any OS(including mac), as it is using the minimize feature of the SDL library.

However, if you are not able to compile, the refactoring of teeworlds will probably be done quite soon, thus the problem of the missing minimize command will be solved.

hmm i get an error or something

(Stripping trailing CRs from patch.)
can't find file to patch at input line 4
Perhaps you should have used the -p or --strip option?

hm now this

***-***-MacBook-Pro:tw ***$ patch -p0 < /Users/***/***/TW/Compile/tw mini.patch
patch: **** read error : Is a directory

*** is my name with 3 ***

I can`t Code C++ or C or something else and i dont know where i have to write it

but You can make it for me and send me i skype

That would be so nice *_*

Why are u using a whitespace here? Maybe that's the problem: patch thinks you want to use the directory
/Users/***/***/TW/Compile/tw as patch. And be sure to write p1 and not p0, otherwise it won't work.
You should type that:

patch -p1 < /Users/***/***/TW/Compile/tw/mini.patch

You can get the basics there, if you want to learn coding tw, take some time looking to the sourcecode
(btw. this might not be the correct topic for your question)

I get this error wen I try to apply the patch file:

patching file src/engine/client/ec_client.c
Hunk #1 succeeded at 1870 with fuzz 1.
patch unexpectedly ends in middle of line
patch: **** unexpected end of file in patch

going to try it manually then..

EDIT:
I get the "minimize" up in F1 but wen I do the command nothing happens..

About those patch errors: it might be those accur, because I was using svn version of teeworlds-0.5.2 (/tags/teeworlds-0.5.2rc1)
I edited my first post, so it contains a patch that has been created with the sourcecode of teeworlds that you can get from the download section here.
Also now there is an explanation about how to apply the patch.

@ MertenNor: If you have applied the patch correctly and it still does not work, I have no idea what the problem might be as the code is actually the same as in the refactor branch, only it is written in the old style. Maybe you try it again with the updated patch. You should now be able to patch automatically without any errors. Pls tell me, whether it works correctly then, or not.

I get error like Merten..

can you put the source here please?

@ghost91
wen I try the new patch.. I get this error:

patching file src/engine/client/ec_client.c
Hunk #1 succeeded at 1870 with fuzz 1.
patch unexpectedly ends in middle of line
Hunk #2 FAILED at 1977.
1 out of 2 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file src/engine/client/ec_client.c.rej

@buffer[]
wen I apply the "ec_client.c" it only minimizes in Window mode and not in fullscreen..

but what about Hide the Teeworlds instead ?

Works very well in Windows

Search for SDL & Mac, that bug isn't related to Teeworlds code.

buffer[] is right. If it does not work on Mac, it is a problem if the sdl implementation in mac.
