What’s New With GameSmith 4.0?
A new GameSmith Chat application is now available which can be used to chat on GameSmith without actually playing a game. With GameSmith Chat you can quickly and easily check out the GameSmith experience. More information at GameSmith Chat Home Page.
Gamesmith 4.0 is only compatible with Mac OS X. This update cannot be installed under OS 9.
There is also an upgrade path if you want to just download the updated GameSmith libraries. This is likely an easier option if you have a large number of GameSmith games to update. It is a three step process.
Step 1. Download the GameSmith 4.0 update.
Step 2. After downloading and unstuffing, carefully copy GameSmithLib, Statics and GameSmith Updater into your GameSmith Cache (as found below).
Step 3. Then quit and restart any games using GameSmith and they will update themselves from the cache. Note that games other than the 3D games might require that you manually quit them when they say they will quit and restart -- right now some of games don’t actually quit on their own.
