Black Shades Crashes on OS X

Found some more information on Black Shades...
http://www.icculus.org/blackshades/
Apparently, you need SDL to get it to run...which may explain why it's crashing...

EDIT:
I figured out why it isn't working...
Look at the Textures folder...see...there's doubles of each and every texture...you can either take the time to rename and delete the doubles or...download the textures from the link I posted above.

WOOT it works! The textures that comes with the OSX version seems to be
broken in some way (I can open them and they look just the same
as the textures that aren't broken, but the game doesn't take them and
they are much smaller). I don't see any doubles though, but maybe they are
hidden?

I just downloaded the textures linked on IF_THIS_IS_A_README_YOU_HAVE_WON @ icculus.org
(http://filesingularity.timedoctor.org/Textures.tar.bz2)
and replaced and the game works perfect.

Apparantly he's the creator of Ragdoll Masters!

*wonders if he'll be able to make custom textures for Black Shades*

*tells Grayswandir that he will be able to do that*

I've made custom textures for Black Shades in the past.

I also made a complete Counter-Strike soundpack for Black Shades,
but I lost it. I think i'm going to recreate it now that i've gotten the game
working again
