Hello, I came across this game by way of Many-Eyed-Hydra's review of it and being interested, decided to try my hand.

However I don't seem able to run in on my Macbook. I've tried installing Mono, without really realising what it is or what is done once it's installed.

Could someone please help?

Posted by KawaOh hey, you must be that one from Tumblr.

Assuming you got Mono to successfully install and know how to use a terminal, open one and find the directory you unpacked Noxico in. Then type <code style="background: #222"> mono Noxico.exe </code>. That ought to be enough. It certainly is when I run on Linux Mint, or on Windows when I want to bypass .Net and run in Mono instead. <small>hey that rhymed</small>

I know of no other way, though I'm sure there are. For example, since no executable on Linux or MacOS has a .EXE file extension, perhaps there's some system feature where you declare that .EXE files should be opened in Mono?


How do I find the directory?

(I tried simply typing in "mono Noxico.exe" and "Cannot open assembly 'Noxico.exe': No such file or directory." came up)

Okay so I figured out how to open it ("mono /Users/[MYNAMEHERE]/Games/Noxico.exe")

But it says I'm missing all the needed DLL files...

I don't know how to change directories <sub>I'm sorry I'm being such a nuisance</sub>

If your asking me did I type in "ls Noxico", I just did and it said "ls: Noxico: No such file or directory"

So I've figured out a way to open it and a window has come up but it says there's an error and "Required DLL Antlr3.Runtime.dll is missing"

Posted by PillowShoutWhen you use 'ls' in the directory where the .exe is located, what files does it tell you are there?


-Antlr3.Runtime.dll
-fmodex64.dll
-Jint.dll
-Noxico.exe
-Noxico.mix

(I should note that I've never used my computer using Terminal before).

So I've changed directories and Mono'd it from there, now it's saying that I'm missing fmodex64 (which is in the same directory as the Noxico.exe etc.)

It's working now! Is it normally really slow?

I just timed it; in the starting village, 1 minute 45 seconds went by before my Player Character moved from me pressing the arrow keys.
