Is there a good scripting tool of MAC?

General

Anyone know of good apps/tools to create funscript and also Cockhero type of movies?

No, unfortunately not. I tried to get https://github.com/gagax1234/OpenFunscripter to build, but getting mpv-dev / libmpv on OS X has prevented me from being able to continue with it. Maybe I try to run it in docker w/ X11 instead…

In the automatic github CI build that I’m doing. I’m using some package manager that I found.

wget -O MacPorts.pkg https://distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/MacPorts-2.6.4-10.15-Catalina.pkg
sudo installer -pkg MacPorts.pkg -target /
sudo /opt/local/bin/port install mpv +audiocd+libarchive+network+opengl+osd+libmpv
Note: In this case it’s for OSX Catalina

The reason I can’t just share those builds is because they expect this exact library installed in this "/opt/local/lib/libmpv.dylib" exact path. But if you are able to install that and build it yourself it should work.

Source: cmake_build.yml

This scripting app is browser based so works on Mac. https://funscripter-lite.herokuapp.com/

Macports can really break things if used incorrectly on a system, it’s fine for CI/CD because the instance is thrown away but a real problem for users of the software w/o containers. 90% of devs on Macs are using homebrew (which doesn’t have libmpv :frowning: )

Nevertheless I will try it out, maybe try my hand at writing a libmpv recipe for homebrew

The old blender addon still works GitHub - funjack/funscripting: Funscripting Blender Addon

@chetbrinko I’m not a mac user but I obviously checked homebrew first as it comes pre installed on those github instances but yeah kinda dissapointing they only have the player but not the library from what I could tell. :man_shrugging:
I think it would be really cool if there was an “easy” (as easy as apple makes it to install third party software) to install version of OFS for mac. But I got really burnt out trying and I’m obviously not getting a mac just to ship my free software…
If you do find a pre-compiled version of libmpv somewhere or compile it yourself you’ll probably have to change the cmake. Feel free to pm me on here.

I can’t contribute much to the community, but I will make another run at getting this to build for the mac, and let’s see if I can become your mac maintainer :rofl:

Update - I have the mac build working, but I don’t have it packaging on github actions yet, still working out the CPack magic.

Thank you for your answer.
