Mac Tremplayers: Represent!

[player1]

Hey, not an attempt to start another OS-based clan, flamewar, gear comparison or anything like that, but if you are a Mac gamer who enjoys t3h Tremulous, please post here. This Mac gamer support/discussion/deprogramming group is by no means affiliated with Apple, Mac, or the makers of Tremulous, a fine fragfest of a product. If you'd just like to slag Macs, feel free to do that too. It ain't my bandwidth, and competition is good for the soul.

PlayerOne just bought a Mac
'cuz he needed one 4 t3h rl
but now he thinkz it's kinda kewl
except 4 t3h equip failures
but meh
that's t3h front of t3h wave
I guesses...

I play on my MacBook at times, my desktop is way better though. If I had a MacPro I would probably give up my desktop, and then wet myself.

[kozak6]

I'd play Tremulous on the Macs at school if the mice weren't totally useless.

@TinDuck: I think I shoulda went t3h extra coupla hundred dollars & got the 15" MBPro
meh... ^^
feh... :?
beh... ;p
Oh well, my new dream is to put together a WinXP box (already got a spare disc I never installed on t3h MacBook). The MacBook's got as many peripherals as a desktop anyways.  :roll:

btw, what's ur desktop? i'm sure u told me b4, but... can't remember...

also, what mouse r u using w/ t3h MacBook? mini-poll-game: (Bluetooth/USB/none/other/trackpad-stylee, kid!)

[TinMan]

I sometimes play with the touchpad while on it, lol...I used to play Quake 3 on my older laptop the same way so it's not that big of a deal for me, it has bad acceleration though. If I want to play well then I grab my mouse off my desktop usually, I had a Fatal1ty 10/10 until it broke and now I use a Logitech MX Revolution.

My Desktop is this:

CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ Manchester 2.2GHz
Motherboard: Biostar GeForce6100-M9 Socket 939
Video Card: eVGA  Geforce 7900GT 256MB
RAM: 2x (1GB DDR 400)
Monitor: BenQ FP93GX Black 19" 2ms DVI LCD
Mouse: Logitech MX Revolution
Keyboard: generic black 105-key ergonomics keyboard
Optical: HP dvd740 LightScribe
HDD: 160 GB SATA w/ *nix OSes, 80 GB PATA w/ Win2K SP4 & ReactOS
Speakers: Logitech Z-4 40 watts 2.1
Tuner: Hauppauge WINTV401 PCI Interface TV/FM

1.)OMG your supposed to press the whole mouse to click!?
2.)So when you want to grab your mouse you can accedentally click?
3.)Where is the HOLY Right mousebutton??
4.)How can you work with it?

1.)Yes
2.)Yes (this will happen Alot!)
3.)Ctrl+click (2 handed action for a single hand action on a "normal" multi-button mouse, you must love it(sarcasm))
4.)You don't. Buy a multi-button mouse (Thank you, Bill Gates!)
**Getting ready to get flamed**

[Glunnator]

nonononono!
*desperatly tries not to flame*

1) No. the click is just at the top. You can't see the line. It's very magical!
2) Yes, but only if you're very careless.
3) There isn't one..  :cry:  and yes, ctrl + click works.. >_> I just set second mouse button actions to a different key. much better!
4) Quite easy, but annoying since there's no multiple buttons.

AND, the newest mouse design has been fixed!
It looks pretty much the same, but with a scroll-ball going 4 ways, a left AND right click of which you don't see any of the lines AND, see those pad things at the sides? you can squeeze those for an extra command which you can set to a key of your choice! maybe R for reload in trem or summat... or for a nade! >:]

Sweet!

[Menace13]

We got a new Mac and it's mouse is a one-button. Yet it has a scroll wheel. :eek:  :O And so we used the old mouse! :roll: Or, the semi-old-two-button-scroll-wheel-mouse.

The new Mac's mouse:

[Kaleo]

Macs = AWSOME EVERYTHING!!!
Mac keybords =  A crock of shit
Mac mice = A crock of shit


Nobody's perfect...

I use a logitech mouse and a "Microsoft" keybord.

Im conna make a cryo mouse tho!

[ShadowNinjaDudeMan]

I have one of those microscopic wee box ones, the newer mac thingie, its ace!
Packs a punch, but is tiny.
I use a logitech mouse though, mac mouses lookgood-ish, but they suck, I know that.

Dude! Did you actually TRY right-clicking!
It really has a right click! Go try!

Mac mouses do not suck. They just take getting used to.

[The MC Horton Crankfire]

My school issues laptops to the students, and we've been using iBooks, so that's what I started playing Trem on. Next year, however, we're getting Dells, so it should run better (assuming it runs at ALL with Vista, lol). As for this summer, I doubt my old home computer can handle it, so I'll probably not be able to play for three months. :(

[Glunnator]

Hey, My cpu's ancient and trem runs fine!
If you put everything lowest, with least details and everything, Trem'd run fine on quite a handsome range of computers!

MacMini? like 6 inches by 6 inches? lawl

I like my Mac keyboard, not as much as my ergonomic keyboard, but better than any other normally shaped one, especially on a laptop. The touchpad and two-finger-scroll is also super-leet if you disable the horrible acceleration.
My MacBook is also very solid, I lug it around in my backpack to school, while dirt biking, and I've put it in a saddle bag and brought it to Sturgis with me last year.

[AKAnotu]

go macs!
i have an imac....not really much to say that hasn't been
y es, the mouses have two clicks,  i use a kensington for wireless and a convenient mouse 5 (for zoom and nades)

Considered getting a Mini for my next desktop (really, bookshelf) computer, since I could just set it under the Airport Extreme base station, and plug in the MacBook's peripherals.

And, yeah, I lug my MacBook back and forth to work, use it on the back patio, play Trem on it for hours at a time. The SuperDrive, Bluetooth card and antenna have all been replaced. Bought it in January.

Sturgis, huh? TinMan r l33t gamer & biker dude? Kewl.

Like the two-finger scroll, but always forget what right-click on touchpad is. Oh, right... CTRL+click (never remember that, use too many workarounds for memory-loss & boneheadedness) 8]

[TinMan]

You can enable a right-click feature with the touchpad, where if you tap it with two fingers at once it does a right click.  =D

yeah, that's what i keep trying to do
(my buddy's is like that)
many of the other macs i use have it set up that way
& I forget that mine doesn't
(I handle a lotta different machines in one day)
plus I use hotkeys for all the "edit" stuff anyways
Apple ("CMD")+C - copy
CMD+X - cut
CMD+V - paste
etc.
or i just turn my mouse on when i'm home
& not being lo-fi

[TinMan]

Who didn't know about the leetness of the Mighty Mouse?

[player1]

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?

[kozak6]

Well goddamn, that useless POS mouse does have a right click.

That makes it suck slightly less, although the tracking is still shitty enough to make it frustrating for gaming.

it's actually got five buttons
plus the scrollwheel is a trackpad
weird
now what about my questions? ^^^^^ see above post^^^^^

[kozak6]

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.
