Patching
CINEMA 4D for MacOS 8
You only have to patch
your copy of CINEMA 4D if you encounter difficulties
running it on MacOS 8. The following is not
necessary for MacOS 7.5.x or MacOS 7.6.x.
If you are using
version 4.27 of CINEMA 4D, just download the patch program which does all the
necessary changes to the program automatically.
Important:
If you have a version other than 4.27
please follow these instructions:
Note: You
need the program ResEdit. If you cannot find it on your
system, download it from Apple's FTP server.
Please follow the
steps exactly as described. ResEdit lets you change the
internal structure of CINEMA 4D which can result in
severe damage of the program!
- Exit CINEMA 4D if
you have it running.
- Make a backup copy
of the program file
- Drag and drop the
CINEMA 4D program icon on the ResEdit icon.
- ResEdit opens a
window named "CINEMA 4D" in which you
will find the resource "DLOG" as show
in picture 1. Doubleclick on the DLOG
icon.
- A new window named
"DLOGs from CINEMA 4D" opens and shows
a long list. Scroll down this list until you see
ID 194 named "R_MATERIALFARBE". Select
this item.
- Hold down the shift
key and select ID 203 named
"R_MATERIALGLICHT". Now you should have
selected ten items.
- Select "Get
Resource" from the "Resource"
menu. Ten similar windows will show up, each
named after the selected item.
- In the lower half of
the window you will see some attributes. The
options "Locked" and
"Preload" are selected as shown in picture 2.1.
Deselect both options and select
"Purgable" instead. The result is shown
in picture 2.2.
Close the window.
- Repeat step 8 for
the remaining nine windows.
- Close the window
"DLOGs from CINEMA 4D".
- The same has to be
done with the resource "DITL" (see picture 1). Doubleclick the DITL
icon and repeat steps 4 to 10 for this resource.
- Select
"Save" from the "File" menu
to save the changes.
- Exit ResEdit.
CINEMA 4D should now work
without problems on MacOS 8.
