hah! This worked. So I guess I could copy the contents here out to a rsrc file then use DeRez to convert to .r, or from this comment "If it's a PPob resource then DeRez with PowerPlant.r can convert it to a .r text file and Rez with PowerPlant.r can convert a .r text file to resources in a...

Sure, here's the file and a screenshot of it open in Constructor 2.5 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oyIcrR6XLCzQcOCLOcmQa1fVI9qWzmka/view?usp=sharing

Ah I see. I had tried dragging a ppob file onto ResEdit but I get the error The document "AppResources.ppob" could not be opened, because the application "Constructor 2.5" could not be found. Could not find a translation extension with appropriate translators. Maybe some "translation...

Hey thanks for the response, trying to understand what you mean though. Are you suggesting I look at the PowerPlant.r file to determine if I can reverse engineer something to convert any ppob file to .r, or that there is tooling in some versions of of CodeWarrior that can do it for me? I am...

Is anyone familiar with the proprietary Constructor app ppob format? Or know of any existing tool that will help me compile them back to .rsrc / .r files. I might be able to figure it out but if someone was already familiar with it from back in the day, that would be helpful. For context I have...

Oh interesting - the MAC address is my LG TV, and it is getting the same IP address. This is according the Google Home app

Hah and now it’s back - will keep digging

The app is working fine now, must have been the router for sure that righted itself once I unplugged the mesh network? Anyway I’m typing away happily in my Notion app and it’s sending edits to the server from my LCIII ❤️

Thanks for all this info - I’m currently trying to log into my router, when frogfind decided to load. I had unplugged a google mesh extender that failed to set up and was closest to the blueSCSI… still no idea what broke it or fixed it. Will run my app again and see if it screws it up again. I...

How would I find my MAC address? Would it be the address of the Pico device in the BlueSCSI? Or should I be looking into my WiFi router. It’s just odd that my app could have caused this. Seems unlikely a coincidence

So I finally got my app running on 68k, two network requests succeeded as I saw content in the window, then when I began typing I got this error saying that another device was using my IP address... I should note I am using a blueSCSI with Open Transport which has been working perfectly with...

Thanks that was really helpful! While digging into it I found that PowerPlant has an LPreferencesFile class which nicely wrapped a lot of that for me.

I’m wondering what the canonical way was to save the user preferences was for Classic macOS was - I thought I could just write a file but I think by design the Toolbox APIs need to have a file handle provided by the open / save dialog. I guess that apps save their prefs somehow in the resources...

Thanks for the tips! Wouldn't I need AppleTalk to share files with my classic Macs though? I also was just running locally to try things out, ultimately I would want to have it hosted someplace like heroku though. Currently trying to figure out how to get the heroku compose command to upload...

Hi, I'm trying to get the netatalk2 docker image running locally on macOS 14 but am getting the following Address family not supported by protocol error. Reading through this thread I think this might be because of Apple's security tightening? Would I need to run this on a real heroku server or...

Yeah that was my original thought too. I took a look at the source but didn’t try to compile - if I get past the prototype stage with my app I’ll look into posting, would anyone be interested in working on it with me?

I’ve had some success just replacing some scalars with ascii equivalents in Swift on my proxy server, so will probably go that route since I don’t need full Unicode. I’m aiming for system 7 support too. Will try to track down the Text Encoding Converter too and report anything I find here!

Did you ever make any progress here? I'm investigating something similar. I'd be happy just to escape " and ' for a start!

Thanks! I definitely had things muddled and then some other stuff muddying things that my screenshot didn't show too from when I was messing around trying to get it to work.

Hi, trying to set this up too, I am using Code Warrior but it seems like this is all ResEdit so thinking it should apply. Here is how I have it configured - the default generic app icon is gone but my icon still doesn't show up. It could be the BasiliskII option command not working of course...
