Does anyone know hot to get the GOG FT tools.exe (Fallout Tactics editor) to run on Mac? Its wrapped in the Fallout Tactics package under drive_c -> program files -> GOG.com -> fallout tactics.

thanks!

I'd install WineBottler and use it to install GOG's Windows version of Fallout Tactics. With WineBottler you've got the option to run any Windows executable file in a generic Windows environment, e.g. FT tools.exe that comes with the game.

EDIT: Try Gydion's suggestion below first.

Right-click - Show Package Contents - Run the Wineskin.app?

Yep, but does FT tools.exe "see" the wrapped Fallout Tactic files by this? If so, that's the easiest way. Can't check it right now.

Yes. Double-clicking Fallout Tactics.app runs the Wineskin.app with the default configuration, which is to launch the game itself. Starting it manually uses the same environment, but you can change parameters, launch command, open wine cmd, etc.

Good to know, thanks Gydion. In the rare occasions I have to game on a Mac, I usually use my own Wine installation and use GOG's Windows versions. Old habits die hard ;-)
Gydion's suggestion worked (as suspected). Thanks DeMignon for your suggestion also!

Mac Games aren't even new anymore! Of course you still need the manual route for the games that are missing Mac versions.
