TroopMaster Forum

I'm running Troopmaster 2015 under Crossover 15.0 on MacOS 10.10.

Long story short, I've never managed to get DotNet to work. Basically, Troopmaster doesn't seem to be able to do ftp. It tries, and fails. (And generally leaves Troopmaster in a state where it won't respond to the keyboard, but hitting ESC generally fixes that.)

I tried it with the official Troopmaster DotNet site and with a private FTP site. Same response.

I'm able to do normal FTPs from the command line, so my router settings are probably correct.

If anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to hear.

Yes, I've been using DotNet for years with Crossover - follow the directions at https://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/crossover/tips/troopmaster/cant-use-in-read-only-mode-must-restart-app-after-database-download - since Crossover no longer has "Manage Bottles" just quit out of it. I guess I should update the instructions to match the latest version of Crossover.

CodeWeavers has so far refused to look at the issue, saying that there are too few TroopMaster users, so please vote for the application so we can get support on this.

I'm a TM users. How do I vote to have this moved up in the list of supported apps. The work around makes it a real pain to use.

You have to be logged into a codeweaver account (create one if you don't have one). Then go to the page for Troomaster and click the "vote" button. I got as far as getting a developer a troopmaster account so he could test with it, and the whole thing was "shut down" for lack of votes for support.

FWIW TM functionality is getting worse with each release of crossover. Now some dialogue windows appear partly off screen and you can't move them or click in them. However keyboard shortcuts still work so you can mouse around and hit ESC or ENTER - assuming you can guess what's on the window.

Also if you let your mac go to sleep while TM is running, when you go back to it the mouse position will be high and left of where the mouse appears on the screen. That means you can't close the application or click on some of the buttons. At that point you have to force quit crossover, restart TM and possible redo any work you have done.
