New version of LackeyCCG (06-23-25)

[Alastair]

The new version of LackeyCCG (06-23-25) is available now for both Windows and Mac. The game server has been updated to allow connections from both the new version and for now the old version, to allow people time to update and for the word to spread.

Both downloads are now avialable on LackeyCCG's main website.

These rebuilds are largely just updated libraries. I did address a few bugs such as the file browser crashing, sorting not working right and some issues with plugins updating. This is the first step on the path to more bug fixes and updates down the road.

Alastair, I tried running the new version on MacOS but I get the error: ""LackeyCCG.app" is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the Trash." I'm wondering if anyone else is getting this error or has a solution? Could there be something invalid with the code signing? It's possible that my Privacy and Security settings are a culprit as they are managed automatically due to an IT profile installed by my employer.

Clicking on the info button on the error dialog, it describes: "The app has been modified or damaged
The app has been modified, and its code does not match the original signed code. The app may be broken or corrupted, or it may have been tampered with. If you think that an app has been damaged or tampered with, you should delete it by dragging it to the Trash.

Some apps and tools, such as AppleScript or JavaScript applications and some legacy tools, modify themselves after signing. These types of apps cannot be opened unless you override the security settings on your Mac. See Open an app by overriding security settings.

My version of MacOS is Sequoia 15.0.1.

I found out what the issue was. I'm not sure why but when I download the .zip file it automatically unzips it, which leads to the error. However, if I

Code Select Expand

wget https://www.lackeyccg.com/LackeyCCGMac.zip and then unzip it on the command-line, it will run. Hope this helps anyone that has the same issue.

@Drew, the problem is a "quarantine" attribute that Apple applies to newly downloaded files and folders. I didn't actually realize unzipping on the command line avoids applying it at all, that's intriguing.

I ran afoul of this myself recently, despite knowing about it, because I forgot that removing it from a folder doesn't automatically remove it from everything *in* the folder (and because the error message has apparently gotten more cryptic than it used to be).

To see if a file or folder is currently quarantined, you can do this from command line:

Code Select Expand

xattr -l path/to/file/
You can remove it with the -d flag, and the -r flag applies it recursively to everything in a folder:

Code Select Expand

xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /path/to/Lackey/Folder
