I have a prblem with the classes in my project. Even though the only 2 classes in my classes folder are Male, and Female, there is a 3rd called .DS_Store that crashes the game if you pick it! Please help! :eek:

If I remember correctly, .DS_Store is the file that Mac OSX uses to remember custom window arrangements, such as formatting, pictures, etc. Simply delete the file from your Classes folder and rebuild. It should work just fine.

Hmm, apparenty it's an invisible file (like most system stuff). What can I use to find the invisible file, and delete it?
EDIT: I don't have admin access. Grrr... So don't suggest stuff that requires admin access.

Well, that's the only way to remove the file. Delete it. I suggest you either ask someone with admin access to do it for you, or alternatively, use Terminal to delete the file for you.

:mad: Aargh! :mad: Are you sure that's the code? I typed in that first code, the cd one, and it keeps saying "too many arguments". What am I doing wrong?

Is this is the only folder that has a DS_Store file registering in it?
seriously...
have you tried the following
why not remove the contents of the folder, the actual classes,trash the folder itself
create a new folder and name it Classes
incidentally you must go:
"insert actual project folder name here"/Players/Classes
in order to be in the classes folder.

I'm guessing you have a folder name with spaces into it, and so ran into one of the limitations of the Terminal - it can get confused by spaces. You probably have something like "cd ~/Documents/My Game/Players/Classes", which the terminal is reading as "cd ~/Documents/My" with an additional argument or parameter of "Game/Players/Classes" - which it of course doesn't know what to do with. The usual workaround is to place a backslash before each space in the name, so it would be "cd ~/Documents/My Game/Players/Classes".
The easier way to do this is to type "cd " and then drag and drop the folder in question into the Terminal window, which will then automatically fill in the complete, Terminal-correct path name of the folder for you.
An even easier way might be to try something like (url="http://"http://www.versiontracker.com/moreinfo.fcgi?id=17763&db;=mac")De_DDS(/url), which seems to be an application do remove .DS_Store files for you, though I haven't tried it myself.

I don't know what I'm talking about.
Oh no, here comes another learning experience.

Ahh, got my dad (admin) to try and delete it, but he accidentally deleted all in the computer! Now all our folders are messed up, but the problem is fixed

If you run into that again, delete it via Coldstone. I had that problem a while ago, and deleting all the .DS-Store files from Coldstone worked fine — you can delete invisible files from the Finder, but first you need to be able to see them.And for that, you need either TinkerTool or ResEdit.

Or another way... send your file over to a mac running 9. The ds.store files show up and you can just delete them. Send the file back but do not open it before you do your thing or OSX will just make a new one for you. (They store the window position etc. info for X.)
