Aevil, a friend of mine, told me about this great linux game.
-
Friends started to play this and needed to dl this myself also. Now we are only ones with Logos[FI] who play trem within our friend circle.
Dang they don't have no sense of real action ;)
Football have more action :eek: they say... :D
Real life iivil aye, Dasp, hehe.. Was so close to stop playing trem after I was without net about 1-2moths or so(moved). Same day I got net back, you invited to test A R. YOU are the one...

When it was added as official Debian package, it was in the list of new packages after an update... And the description sounded interesting enough to try it.

Was looking for free games here:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/games/
Was shocked to find that Trem actually dared to run steadily on my terrible computer.
-
A_Total_noob you give me hope. Surely with 2GHz Core2Duo & 1GB of RAM, I should be able to run this game. I think I have about 32MB of video memory (less?). I believe it's 64MB of RAM, shared with the CPU, that the GMA950 gets.
Now here's my question. Is Tremulous any good? How do you like the stages and evolution and buying and building? Is it deep, or cumbersome? Are there servers out there worth playing? It sounds a lot better than a TeamFortress sniper-fest. Is there an active Trem community? What mods should I get? What other Trem sites are good? Anybody here also play Sauerbraten? What's a good servers for n00bs? Should I build, repair or just kill stuff? Human or alien? Favorite artifact/activity in-game?
Thanks.

Shame hardly any of those people go on Trem now...

I'm a Quake junkie and stumbled upon it on my search for the Quake 3 Gloom mod.

I missed out on the [LLJK] days but I'm here now.

I found Tremulous by searching for games on Sourceforge.

Through an epiphany, I discovered water. Water caused me to think of great FPS's with unhealthy-looking spiders, green Harvard professors (read Fahrenheit 911), steel mech's and hippy humans with oversized ears. Thus I discovered Tremulous.

And you havn't missed out on the lljk days - just wear the tag to recreate them

Didn't miss much. It seemed like most players with [LLJK] tags were deconners.
I can't recall where I found Trem.
Might have been linked to from the True Combat Elite forums.
-
We've been over this countless times.
LLJK just means the player was a member of the something awful forums. The deconners were nearly all impersonators who had a grudge against SA goons and so tried to sully the name.

Ptsh-
your computer should floor this game !
64MB is not earth shattering,
however, you processor and RAM should make for this.
The game will definately run on NORMAL graphics settings (I run not on FAST, but on FASTEST :oops: ) at around 50FPS.
Still, it could be 100FPS.
I have no idea.
But im pretty sure you can run the game on atleast HIGH @ 40FPS.
Try it out, and fiddle with the quality settings (Set up a LAN game, so no one can bother you)
Oh, and Tremulous if you join a fun server (There are quite a few), can be really enjoyable.
Trust me, its seriously fun to saw through 4 tyrants in a row with a Painsaw.
Here are three things should be aware of though:
a. For the first 2 weeks, the game WILL be very frustrating.
You probably will not be able to kill much, and you will find yourself constantly dying.
After you get used to the game, and know your Goon from your Granger, and your Luci from your Lasgun, you should start finding it very enjoyable.
b. The more expensive weapons are not necessarily superior.
Eg: A 250 cred Lasgun is a very effective weapon for defending the base as opposed to a 450 cred Flamer, or 600 cred Lucifer Cannon, which are almost useless.
c. You will frequencly find your team being called 'Campers'.
Do not pay attention to this.
These are noobs who call you campers are only attempting to mask their own inadequacies.
( http://www.ctrlaltdel-online.com/comic.php?d=20060826 )
Also, try to pay attention to how experienced players build,
then put it into practice yourself.
Oh, and yeah, building is fun :D

I play trem, but don't go on UG anymore. Same with Vindication.
-
I bought a computer from robug and it came with trem installed.
-
lol guys, 91/90 fps here
-
Got the game via friends
-
Also came from somethingawful.com
I use [LLJK] sometimes, but most of the time I just go by Stunt so it is easy for people to donate evos to me :V

Through Pacra, another goon, so basically through SA.

Google and that Wikipedia article.
90% of the software on my machine is OSS. I've been looking for a loong time for this. Recently I also discovered Nexuiz. You'd get a lot more people here if you got into the open frag community and Nexuiz did the same. Who knows how many features one has that the other lacks, and how much buggy code could be done away with if they used the same engine. I think Nexuiz is still on the Quake 1 engine or something.
Anyway, Open Frag is making, among all the other stuff, a distribution system that's like Valve's Steam. Also, they plan to use OpenID's and if probably voice chat. The fragmentation present here is wasting about 80% of the effort of these three communities. It's sad. I want one engine on my machine with tiny game plugins. A game would be just a set of rules, fonts, sounds, and models that the open frag engine opens via a menu. And we know only OSS can do that without going fascist.

The FIRST time it was on.
Its been on there about 5 times >.>

I use this program called stumbleupon that send you to different random websites based on your interests...basically a time-waster if you're bored.
Anyways, while using stumbleupon I came on a thread in a games forum where a guy had compiled a massive list of free online games with descriptions for each. I read the description for Tremulous and got intrigued...found my way here...and have been playing for the last few days.

Funny story:
I was looking at halomaps.org for some more Halo CE maps, and I saw this one call ATCS...
It's a replica of ATCS; just bigger to fit CTF.
How I really came upon Tremulous:
Then, I came across a Wikipedia article for a list of free fps games, and there it is; Tremulous.
-
Well my bro just downloded it (he does all the tech stuff, instalin drivers, fucking up the system, repairing his crap) and I got hooked kinda.
I introduced my friends to it and for a few weeks we all played it loads and they loved it. But then they all got XBOX and XBOX Live and now whenever I come into school they are all having very animate discussions about how they owned "GuyX" using "GunX" at "PlaceX" in minute detail for hours and expect me to be utterly riveted and thrilled on their tales of silicon heroism.
Then I open my mouth to say that my Trem map is doing well and for about a millionth of a second they look at me expectantly, then cut back into XBOX chat.
Xbox aint for hardcore gamers, its the easy way to be a pussy and an exuse to say words like pwned and owned which they all really wanted to say.
It also annoys me that they bring this language to real life in copius amounts, I mean, Im all for saying pwned or owned once in a while, but they just blether on saying pwned and owned all day for no reason.
And those are the only Abbs they know.
Im really srry for this off topic rant, but I just had to get it out, abso-fckin-lutely pissed off with themhaving the attention span of a gnat not inextricably intertwined with their own lives.
Hope ull understand. :P :oops:

I was hanging out in an IRC channel specially catered to stuck-up children when I heard about some guy trying to code a bastardized clone of Gloom and Natural Selection for the Quake III engine. It turned out to be some hugely entertaining affair concerning lovable wallwalking Aliens and and on first sight whoefully underequipped Humans. I instantly fell in love and have been playing it on and off ever since.

we really must thanks captain ventris for reviewing that for us. without that, i would have never started playing this game. it's a shame i never see him in-game anymore.

google :P

I was browsing the free games section of a site called Megagames.com and came across a game called tremulous,,so I downloaded it ,installed it and had a look. this was in the first quarter of 06. Have been addicted ever since.
Passed it on to a few friends and we all came to the conclusion that it is 1 kick ass of a free game..My very best regards to the trem development team. Well done. Oh! we had a toast to trem down the local, caused a bit of a stir. All in good fun, hip hip hoorar.

its funny reading all the people on UG forums whining about how its so hard. then all the sudden theres this random guy talking about boning the aliens with his massive skills and his lucisuit. his killcount: 24. lol.

I found it the "Other Games" section of Warrock forums. I found the Warrock forums through a guy I had met playing Call of Duty which I had been compelled to install since my mom helped me buy a new computer becuase we had some money left over due to Japanese investors buying a house we had been trying to sell on the waterfront.
So... you have Japanese investors to thank next time you're lasgunned by |AoD|Green|. 8)
