The GOG version (and I am assuming others, I do not see why it would be an issue) of Creatures 3 and Docking Station can be run on OSX using a special version of WINE called wineskin. This tutorial helps the player to configure creatures for play.
IIRC the version of X11 bundled with Wineskin is broken in El Capitan. So go into the Wineskin app (right click on the app and show package contents). Then open the Wineskin app in that folder. When it opens click advanced, then options, then check the last box. (force use of system installed XQuartz). Ported mac games. S. (Trilogy) L GOG macOS WineSkin 2012. Six years have passed since the Second disaster, which eclipsed the events of April 1986. The game takes place in the Chernobyl exclusion zone which turned from a place where the fate of breaking into a threat to all humanity. Go to the unofficial Wineskin download page, download the latest Wineskin and unzip it. Download the unofficial osu!macOS Agent tool and use it to repair the osu!app file. Alternatively: Move osu!app to the desktop. Open Terminal, copy this command: xattr -c 'Desktop/osu!app', and press the Return key. Double click on osu!app to open it.
Step 1: Download and install Wineskin.[edit]
This tutorial was created using OS X 10.11.6 (El Capitan) and Wineskin Winery 1.7 w/ engine WS91.9.11. Other versions should work, but just as a precaution!Wineskin can be found at http://wineskin.urgesoftware.com, with installation instructions.
Step 2: Open Wineskin Winery.[edit]
Download ios 13 on mac. Make a new wrapper. If you haven't downloaded an engine yet, do so (just press the + buttons, select an engine to download!). I'll call my wrapper C3DS.
Step 3: If you haven't already, download the Windows Exodus installer from GOG.[edit]
When the wrapper has finished creating, choose 'view wrapper in finder' (alternatively, you can just go to your Applications folder in your home directory - it will be in the Wineskin directory there unless you have told Wineskin to do something funny!). Right click on the wrapper and select: 'view contents of..'. Inside, you will find a couple of directories (will be very important in a bit), and something called Wineskin.app that will do the actual work of running creatures on Mac. Double click it! When it opens, select 'Install software', and on the screen that opens, select 'Choose Setup Executable' - then, select the location of the installer that you downloaded.
Also, while we are here, note the drive_c in the folder: this is where creatures installs to. The main creatures folder for DS can be found inside the package contents at drive_c/GOG Games/Creatures Exodus/Docking Station - install agents, breeds, etc into their respective usual folder.
Step 4: Install creatures as normal.[edit]
Just go with all the defaults, everything should hopefully install nicely and creatures should start for the first time. Hurrah! Unfortunately, we still have work to do. Exit creatures when it starts. If you don't do the next few steps, when you go to actually play, you will get a 16 bit color depth issue. Most modern Macs don't have a built in 16 bit color mode in their driver, so we will need to do some tinkering to get everything to work. For now, though, just celebrate seeing that loading screen!
Step 5: Here's where things get a bit funky.[edit]
We need to change the color depth to 16 bits for C3/DS to run. To get technical, WINE (which supports running Windows apps on Linux/OSX) uses something else called X11 that supports displays and a LOT of other stuff. OSX has it's own special 'flavor' of X11 called Xquartz, and Wineskin comes with an even MORE special kind called WineskinX11. We need to replace an Info.plist file which determines a bunch of settings that Wineskin uses when it runs WineskinX11 (in this case, to specify 16 bit color). Download the replacement info.plist HEREreplacement info.plist. Going back to the same directory we were in earlier (view contents of.. on YourCreaturesWrapperNameHere.app), and open the 'Contents' folder. Delete the old Info.plist file and replace it with mine. (OSX power users: if you have XCODE installed, feel free to open it up and edit it instead: the Resolution field needs to change from something like 'novdx24sleep0' to 'novdx15sleep0' - might be slightly different on yours, but the important part is that the 24 becomes a 15 (NOT A 16, you'll error)).
Step 6: Run your game![edit]
If it asks to select a main executable, navigate to DS's engine. Things should now work. If you open the Wineskin.app inside the wrapper again, you will need to either replace or re-edit the Info.plist file to be in 16 bit mode as I explained above - Wineskin.app will change things in the plist and inadvertently revert it to 24 bit color, causing the game to not play nice. The main time you would do that is if you are installing the remastered patch or developer tools - you install them by again opening wineskin.app, and selecting install software.. Afterwards, you will need to make sure that the engine is still the main executable. This will be covered more in a future tutorial - I (soliloquy) haven't figured out how well the patch will work or how well dev tools will work, so I haven't covered them here. Any Mac-friendly dev tools that worked with the previous OS X port, like Edos, or Jagent, should work fine.
Step 7: Move Catalogue files or creature files.[edit]
You will get a catalogue issue if you use agents such as the Garden Box, and your creatures that you export won't show up in the wineskin the way you expect either. This is much like the error that some windows players see or that was seen on the old mac port. In your home folder, you will find a folder titled 'Creatures' in your documents folder; it will have all of the usual file structures - copy any catalogues which have been mis-unpacked from that Catalogue folder to the main one in the drive_c folder of your Wineskin wrapper and you should be good to go - exported creatures also may or may not end up in this My Creatures folder rather than the main one in the drive_c folder of the wrapper.
This is just a first pass at a tutorial for this, sorry if it lacks some clarity!

Super Blue Blood Moon happened and everyone came to get these files and Dropbox has temporarily suspended my links. Oh no!
Wineskin Download Mac
The instructions below for creating your own wineskin packages will still work. Cmap tools free download mac. In the meantime I’ll work on getting my prebuilt wineskin package links back up.

Updated files! These are working in OSX 10.11 El Capitan. Read Previous posts.
Download Registax 6.1.0.8 for OSX 10.11 El Capitan
Download AutoStakkert 2.3.0.21 for OSX 10.11 El Capitan

https://mitaryora.tistory.com/7. Many pieces of software used for astronomy do not have equivalents that can be used by those of us running OSX on macintosh computers. I have made a few wineskin wrapped versions of the software that I am currently using and I have made them available here for you.
You must first download Wineskin Winery and install it.
You can then wrap Software such as Registax and AutoStakkert so that they will run almost seamlessly in OSX. If you want to skip this step, you still need to install wineskin winery, but you can use the wineskin wrapped versions of Registax and AutoStakkert that I’ve prepared below. They are currently running without issue on OSX 10.10.
Download Registax 6.1.0.8 packaged in Wine for OSX.
https://mitaryora.tistory.com/2. Download AutoStakkert 2.3.0.21 packaged in Wine for OSX. This wrapper has the windows ffmpeg executables already installed that will allow you to import .mov files without having to transcode them.
Enjoy!
