Users/davidlent/Projects/Whitaker3DTutorial/Whitaker3DTutorial/Content/LargeAsteroid.fbx: Error: The source file ‘/Users/davidlent/Projects/Whitaker3DTutorial/Whitaker3DTutorial/Content/*0’ does not exist! (Whitaker3DTutorial) Does the current version of Monogame for Macintosh work for 3D stuff or is that something that will be implemented later? Please note that my Mac has an M-1 chip and is running Big Sur 11.2.3. Even running the Whitaker 3D tutorial verbatim without any modifications is not working on my Mac. I’ve verified that the files are in the referenced location.

Some of the files that cause build failure are. However, when used for 3D stuff, the build always fails. I’ve been using Monogame 3.8 for Macintosh for 2D stuff without any problems. The project runs if the Spritefont section is deleted. Screen Shot at 10.50.32 PM 1839×170 39 KBĭoes anyone have any suggestions? Has anyone been able to use Sprite Font Descriptions on Visual Studio for Mac.

But I’m yet to find how to fix this issue with MGCB + Spritefonts so I appreciate if anyone can help ˆ_ˆ You can’t change its size, but it works, as I’m interested for debugging purposes. Now just follow this tutorial (Just go straight to “Using the Sprite Font” part):Īnd just build/run your game. GameProject/bin/Debug/netcoreapp…/Content/įolder. is one of them, but I couldn’t make it work yetĪnother one was just downloading an already built “Font.xnb” file (found one here in this github page): I could download the source of freetype lib from their official website and build it against High Sierra to see if can fix this issue but I’m really afraid to mess up with the system so instead I was able to find a workaround:

Referenced from: /Users/USER/*/libfreetype6.dylib (which was built for Mac OS X 10.15)įrom what I can understand, I wonder if the freetype lib that’s currently installed on my Mac was actually built from source in another Mac with an OS version (10.15) higher than what I’m currently using (10.13.6 - High Sierra), which could explain this incompatibility? The error happens when trying to build Spritefonts through MGCB-Editor, it suddenly stops, giving me a dotnet error.

As I couldn’t find a fix, I started to search for any fixes/workarounds. Hi guys, I’m a Mac user and just had some hard time getting Spritefonts to work on my game.
