Currently there is no official Mac client for Shining Moon, but you can still play using wineskin.
==Prerequisites==
You'll need the following :
*The Full client
*[http://wineskin.urgesoftware.com/tiki-index.php?page=Downloads WineSkin]
*[https://www.shining-moon.com/no_splash No Splash Fix For Gepard Shield]
*A Shining Moon account
*Patience
==Installing WineSkin==
*Install WineSkin (downloaded from Prerequisites section)
*Launch '''WineSkin Winery''' and click the ''' '+' ''' button to download an engine
*Select '''WS9Wine1.7.55''' and click '<nowiki/>'''Download and Install'''' and hit '''OK'''. Newer versions will NOT work!
*Click '<nowiki/>'''Create New Blank Wrapper'''' and name it 'SMRO' or whatever you want
*If you get a prompt asking about incoming network connections, click '<nowiki/>'''Allow''''
*Click '<nowiki/>'''View wrapper in Finder'<nowiki/>''' to open the location of the blank wrapper you just made. If you accidentally clicked '<nowiki/>'''OK'''', then you can probably find the directory by:
**Open finder
**'''Go''' >> '''Home''' >> '''Applications''' >> '''Wineskin'''
*If you want, move your new blank wrapper to somewhere you find more convenient.
==Setting Up Your Wrapper==
*Unpack your Shining Moon client to some temporary place. You'll move the unzipped folder in a few steps.
*Right click the WineSkin wrapper and select '<nowiki/>'''Show Package Contents''''.
*Navigate to '''drive_c''' >> '''Program Files''' and move or copy your unzipped SMRO folder to here.
*Also move or copy the ''''No Splash''' file (downloaded from prerequisites) to here.
*Go back to the main package contents directory and double click '<nowiki/>'''Wine Skin'''' to open the wrapper app.
==Configuring Your Wrapper==
*Click '<nowiki/>'''Advanced'<nowiki/>''' then click the tab '<nowiki/>'''Options'''' and check the following:
**Map User Mac OS X Folders in wrapper (Checked by default)
**Option Key Works as Alt (optional)
**Force use of wrappers quartz-wm for window decorations and not what is on the system (Checked by default)
*Click the ''''Tools''' tab
*Click '<nowiki/>'''Config Utility (winecfg)''''
*In the '<nowiki/>'''Applications'<nowiki/>''' tab, set the '''Windows Version''' to '<nowiki/>'''Windows XP'<nowiki/>''' and click '<nowiki/>'''OK''''
*Back in the tools tab, click '<nowiki/>'''Winetricks''''
*Under '<nowiki/>'''dlls'''', check the following:
**vcrun2008
**vcrun6
**vcrun6sp6
*Under '<nowiki/>'''fonts'''', check the following:
**corefonts
*Click '<nowiki/>'''Run'''' to run the installation of those checked items. This may take a while, and there may be occasional pop-ups requiring you to go through the installation. Defaults are all okay, so just click continue/yes all the way through.
*Once WineTricks has finished installing, you can click '<nowiki/>'''Close''''
*Go to the '<nowiki/>'''Configuration'<nowiki/>''' tab and on the '''Windows EXE''', click '<nowiki/>'''Browse'<nowiki/>''' and then navigate to your SMRO folder (probably '''drive_c/Program Files/SMRO'''). Select and choose '<nowiki/>'''Setup.exe''''.
*Click '<nowiki/>'''Test Run'''' and you should see the Ragnarok Setup. Set your appropriate graphics device (mine is set at Intel(R) 945G [Wine D3D7 T&L HAL]).
*You can adjust other settings to your personal preference. When done, click '<nowiki/>'''Apply'<nowiki/>''' then '<nowiki/>'''OK''''
*After a few seconds, you will see a popup asking if you want to view test logs. You can just disregard it and select '<nowiki/>'''Cancel''''
*Change the '''Windows EXE''' again, but this time to '<nowiki/>'''ShiningPatcher.exe''''
*Click '<nowiki/>'''Test Run'<nowiki/>'''. You'll get a pop up asking about '<nowiki/>'''Wine Gecko'<nowiki/>'''. Disregard this and select '<nowiki/>'''Cancel'<nowiki/>'''. The patcher should launch and begin patching. You won't be able to see the patch notes with the older Wine engine, but that's OK. Wait a few seconds to minutes and the patch should be done, and the '<nowiki/>'''Start Game'<nowiki/>''' button should appear. Click '<nowiki/>'''Start Game'''' and have fun!
*Now that everything is set up, you can launch the wrapper directly (instead of using 'Test Run') from your launch pad or spotlight or whatever.
==Notes==
*'''If you have High Sierra OS, you may need to make some additional adjustments that is shown in this [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDjWNWM3Y7w video]'''
*If you want to use F1-F12 hotkeys in game, you can do '''System Preference''' > '''Keyboard''' and check '<nowiki/>'''Use F1,F2, etc. keys as standard function keys'''' (alternatively, you can map the hotkeys to other keys from the in-game settings menu)
*If you really want to see the patch notes, you can download the most recent wine engine from the winery & set your wrapper to use the newer engine. However, logging in will NOT work with the newer engine. You will get a 'Failed To Connect To Server' message and you'll need to switch the wrapper's Wine engine back to 1.7.55 in order to play the game.
==FAQ==
*'''Gepard logo is stuck?''' Make sure you put the '<nowiki/>'''No Splash'''' file into your SMRO folder.
*''' 'Failed To Connect To Server' when trying to log in.''' Make sure you are using Wine engine 1.7.55 and NOT a newer one. To change engines, open the wineskin winery app, click the ''' '+' ''', download 1.7.55, then in your SMRO wineskin wrapper, go to '<nowiki/>'''Advanced'<nowiki/>''', then '<nowiki/>'''Tools'<nowiki/>''', then '<nowiki/>'''Change Engine Used''''.
*'''How can I run multiple instances?''' You'll need to create a separate wrapper (repeat all steps) for each instance you want to run.
