After much troubleshooting I finally succeeded in discovering why The Wheel of Time the Gathering Storm was not working correctly on my MAC. Once I got it to work, I discovered that the caps-lock would not toggle weaves as explained in the guide, which led to many hours of troubleshooting and foraging for answers.
First problem:
All you need to do is find your "module" folder in your version of M&B Warband. Mine was in steam, so I right clicked on the game, opened properties, then went to the local files tab and opened "browse local files". Boom, finder opens, got my paths epic.
Then I downloaded the "Main file" from Nexus, easy enough, took all of five minutes.
From there you just convert the 7z or zip file to normal and uncompressed, and move the whole folder into the afore mentioned module file of M&B. Now... you thought you were finished...? Not so young wolf pup, you must now open another window and drag the folder called "module_system 1.143_WoT_Mod_0.2.7a" into the folder labled "Data" within that previously downloaded folder called "The Gathering Storm".
Now, young wolf, you are free to claw and bite your way towards the last hunt! Just don't forget to change your module in the steam client to "the gathering storm" or whatever you changed the file lable to.
Now, if you want to burn your foes and see what all this channeling hype is all about...
For you MAC users, if you are having problems getting the channeling system to work
like me, here's what to do.
Once live and in the game, you can go into the "Camp" option from the main menu, then select "The Gathering Storm Options". From there click "Configure Keys" and then it is just a matter of setting your channeling toggle to something other than CAPS-LOCK.
It took me forever to figure this out, i read through almost every page of these forums to find an answer, but nothing helped.
Now that I've actually seen it work, it works like this:
Press and hold the key you mapped, and then little icons will display on your screen and a mouse pointer will appear to allow you access to click on your chosen weave.
From there it is just a matter of using the proper weave for the right situation with your one power item available.
Additionally, there are several tips and hints and explanations available for the individual weaves in those gathering storm options menu.
I hope this helps, it really would have been nice to know all this before hand, but fortunately, The Flaming Wheel bloody weaves as the wheel bloody wills, and it takes it's goat kissing time about it too!
Mother's milk in a cup, I'm done.
Now to go blow something up.
Ahwooooo!
