Mac Tremplayers: Represent!

[player1]

Oh, it's the one Menace13 posted a pic of.

Aren't both of the squeeze buttons exactly the same?

I haven't installed Tremulous on a Mac yet.  I'm not sure it would be worthwhile since the tracking is shit.

How well does Trem support all those buttons?

I know Nexuiz struggles with it.  With Nexuiz, the squeeze buttons register as mouse1, the scrolling is simply broken, and it's hard to aim since the tracking is shit.

If I was really really bored, I might be tempted to install it, but I think the shitty tracking might make it frustratingly difficult to land precision shots/headbites or shoot dretches out of the air.

well if you try it let us know the result
remind me what kind of Mac you have again...
and what machine are you playing Trem on?

[rdizzle]

This thread is full of retards, so don't count me as representing their ilk.

However, I play trem on two macs:  an old G4 800mhz that still regularly pushes out 90 fps for the q3a engine with the video card I upgraded it with a few years back, and a 2.0ghz intel mac.

On both macs I use wireless laser mice built by microsoft.  I know, OMG he's using the borg !!!

[Glunnator]

OMG! You're getting assimilated! Throw those things out NOW! >:0

[kozak6]

It's one of the newish iMacs with the screen that blurs if you look around too fast.  It's in the student union, so I'm not sure of the specs.

Currently, I play Tremulous on an old shitty eMachine pc.

Hey,

I've got a question...(or three to five)

What apps are you guys running on your Macs for irc & teamspeak?

Also, has everybody installed the backport, and has anybody else tried to make a server on their Mac?

Lastly, are you willing to share any keybinds that you find useful, and would you bind hotkeys now, or wait for the 1.2 chat menus?

Weigh in!!! Tell me more.... I need answers!

Also, please vote in my poll.

[Glunnator]

For teamspeak I use TeamSpeex. xD
...but I've only ever used it once...  :roll:
I never really installed any backport... Napkin did that for me somehow... Napkin gave me a GUID and that's all I know... o_0

Keybinds? I've got Yessir, Nosir, Thankyousir, and Noproblemsir as responses and my tacticals are DEFEND the BASE!, and DEFEND the OUTPOST! and the other one... 'bout om/reactor being down attack now etc... I've got a CHAAAAAARGE! in global chat, and a Let's go! CHARGE! in teamchat, etc etc etc... Why the hell am I telling you this?! xD

[Death On Ice]

I has 3 Macs =]

iBook

iMac G4

iMac Core Duo

[iTomath]

I use a 20-inch, Intel core 2 duo iMac with the ATI X1600 128mb graphics card and Tremulous runs great on it. I have a nice 300fps on Max graphics(I changed the settings so the max fps is 300..)
The Mighty Mouse is a amazing mouse and is great for tremulous. I use a Program called SteerMouse that lets you change the tracking speed of your mighty mouse(or any mouse). It's very good but it's only a trail unless you pay for it so I just un-install it then re-install it and you get a full 30-day trail again

I am going to be getting one of the Santa Rosa MacBook Pros (15.4-inch) soon, I can't wait!  

Got my iMac about 4 months ago I think it is now and I'm Never going back to using a PC..
Before I had the iMac I used Ubuntu for about 3 months, I just got completely fed-up with Winblowz

[A_Total_noob]

I have a...

700MHz CPU
384MB RAM
GeForce 2 MX (32MB)
40GB HDD

iMac G4.
Its not the best machine, but its not that bad either. It can take a beating, and still get out alive.

Im soon going to get one of the new iMacs (Once they get updated (In about 1 month))

The mouse im very accustomed to - some people are suprised by the lack of a click, but ive adapted to it. (Albeit the newer Mac mice have 2 clicks) I just program F for secondary attack, and binded '\' for 'Come on !'.

Amen  

hail Mac!

but really, I think hardware and software brand loyalty is so cute... :roll:  
also, Mac gamers do need a support group...  :wink:    
it's not exactly where Apple is pinning their hopes

[kaziorvb]

@kaziorvb: how many computers do you own?

quite a few

[Mispeled]

I play on an iMac G5 (just like the new ones, except with an old G5 chip instead of the Intel chips), and bought a cheap radioshack multi-button mouse. The keyboard that came with it seems okay to me.

For IRC I use Colloquy.

[player1]

how do you like Colloquoy and have you tried any other irc clients?

[doomagent13]

how do you like Colloquoy and have you tried any other irc clients?

Quite good, and no.  For plain old chat, such as AIM or ICQ, you should try Adium.  It combines many types of chat systems into one application.

[benmachine]

Every time I hear the word colloquy I cringe mentally. Can't explain it, seems to be a nervous habit.
Yeah.
X-Chat Aqua. At the least, keep it in mind if/when Colloquy fails you.

[player1]

I just want something robust for IRC for game-finding, and stable enough to hang out in the main channel and monitor three to five others. As gamer-specific and user-friendly (read: I am PC switcher) as possible for a free Mac add-on. Without too much programming time involved "configuring options".

[megas333]

I am a pretty loyal Mac user (cause Windows totally sux with games that are god-like such as Trem and WoW, ive tried on almost Vista comps) and i dream of having a Mac mini so i can continue to fight the Anti Windows war even with the screen being dell or friggin windows)


Sorry to all those PC users out there. I just love Mac


All those PC people who wish to repent for sinning against Apple ways must use this lyrics in a bad voice:

Oh great Macintosh, (please do not scream HOLY SHIT- oop my bad)
We pray for forgiveness...
We suck..
Please take our offerings of iPhones and iPods that are set to Windows..
Tremulous rules...
Vista is craap....
-------------------------------
Still working on the rest.

Edit:
more lyrics!

Now for the fun paaart...
(change tune)
Yar Har Fiddle de de,
the life of a Tyrant is all right for me!
Yar Har fiddle de de,
You are a Tyrant! (gives 10000 evos to Chorus)
(girl voice)
Yar har diddle de de,
If you want to kill with me,
You are a tyrant! (gives even more evos to TyrannaTyrant and Chorus)

(group of singers) Yarr Harr Fiddle de de,
The life of a tyrant is alright with me!
Look Look humans about,
You are a Tyrant!
