Running Julius on macOS

Installing Julius

To install Julius, follow these steps:

1. Download the .dmg file from the Releases page, or get a development version
2. Open the file you downloaded, it will show a window with the Julius application
3. Copy the application to a folder of your choice, for example the Applications folder

Running Julius

Open the application you copied in the last step above. If you're running a recent version of macOS, you will get a dialog saying Julius can't be opened because it was created by an unidentified developer:

1. Using Finder, browse to the folder where you copied julius to during installation
2. Right-click on it and choose "open"
3. You will be presented with similar-looking dialog, but this time there will be second button allowing you to run the application
4. After that you will be able to start Julius without this trick

Or: you can prevent this from happening by running the command: xattr -d com.apple.quarantine ~/Downloads/julius*.dmg before mounting the image (or xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/julius.app (or wherever you installed it) after installing).

Installing Caesar 3 files

The first time you start Julius, it will ask you for the location of your Caesar 3 installation.

To get the files in your Mac, you have three options:

• Copy the installation from a Windows machine, if you had installed the game there previously
• If you have the GOG version or an old CD-ROM version of the game:
  • Use Caesar3Unpacker to install Caesar 3
  • Extract the files manually using the command line (requires more technical knowledge)

Use Caesar3Unpacker

1. Download the latest version of Caesar3Unpacker, open it and follow the steps in the wizard
2. Start Julius, and point the game to the folder that was just extracted

Extract the files using the command line

GOG: using InnoExtract

1. Install InnoExtract through Homebrew:

   $ brew install innoextract
   

2. Download the Caesar 3 offline installer exe from GOG
3. Extract the setup file to a new app folder:

   $ innoextract -m setup_caesar3_2.0.0.9.exe
   

4. Start Julius, and point the game to the app folder that was just extracted

CD-ROM: using UnShield

1. Install Unshield through Homebrew:

   $ brew install unshield
   

2. Open a Terminal in the directory where you want the Caesar 3 files
3. Insert your CD-ROM and run the following command to extract the installer (replace {CD} with the name of your C3 cd-rom):

   $ unshield -g Exe x /Volumes/{CD}/data1.cab
   

4. Copy sound and video files over to the Exe directory:

   $ cp -r /Volumes/{CD}/555 Exe
   $ cp -r /Volumes/{CD}/SMK Exe
   $ cp -r /Volumes/{CD}/wavs Exe
   $ cp -r /Volumes/{CD}/Soundfx/* Exe/wavs
   

5. Start Julius, and point the game to the Exe folder that was just extracted
