Tremulous & Wii

[Eyn Xaeyn]

 ???ive had my Wii for awhile now and i cant help but notice how damn boring it is not to have a Wii version of tremulous. my question is: should there be a Wii version of tremulous

[Caveman]

I'd rather have 1.2 first.

[Death On Ice]

There can be! Kinda.

There are programs for *most* Operating Systems which allow you to use your Wiimote as a pointer / mouse.

Check out: WiiLi

The Wiimote would be great to control flying aliens! 

[+ OPTIMUS +]

!as an alien, you should have the controller in your mouth to simulate biting!

Reality check: The Wii is a console with the following specifications:
729MHz PPC architecture CPU
243MHz GPU
88MB SRAM (in the CPU package)
64MB DDR3
3MB texture and framebuffer memory
512MB FLASH to store OS, etc.

Good luck getting trem to perform well there, and getting the Wii OS to run trem at all.

Read my post, Teh-Ho (Hehe).

WiiLi is working on several projects: The Wii Linux Project is the main one.

Also listed on it's site are drivers for Windows, Linux, and Macintosh which allow the Wiimote to be used as a mouse. It's really quite cool. I've done it before on my Mac, but it's next to impossible to play

must i say that if it is wii compatible it will accommodate these... handicaps

When you go point at all those numbers, you gotta remember that the Wii was MADE for gaming--it wouldnt have to run your OS or anything else simultaneously.  Also I think it only puts out 480p. (TV resolution)

[Eyn Xaeyn]

exactly wat im saying

[Eyn Xaeyn]

just put trem in wii format then burn it to a cd

[Caveman]

When you go point at all those numbers, you gotta remember that the Wii was MADE for gaming--it wouldnt have to run your OS or anything else simultaneously.  Also I think it only puts out 480p. (TV resolution)

So it will not run anything else beside the game itself?
Get real jughead. There are no drivers to support any kind of hardware inside tremulous.
If you need to include those into trem you WILL never ever see it running.

[Death On Ice]

...

Do you honestly think burning Trem to a disc will work? I suggest you look at some Wii roms, especially roms that are not commercial games.
By this I mean that someone created custom Wii games to play on their computer, and made them in rom format.

if trem is made wii compatible, it will either:
A. run off drivers already on the wii
or
B: ill personally get nintendo involved

[Caveman]

That was exactly my point. Thanks for clarifying.
The drivers will not run alone, w/o any foundation... And that means, running the OS as first layer, then driver and then finally the game ...

[Eyn Xaeyn]

okay, ur starting to sound like a scripter

[Caveman]

puhlease, not everyone with half a brain is a scripter.

[thirdstreettito]

Tremulous + Wii = PhailBox

[Eyn Xaeyn]

all im saying is that if nintendo gets involved, it can b done

[Caveman]

aha?
And what exactly will nintendo do with tremulous that is OS from the get go?
riiight...

NOTHING.

no, i was just gonna suggest an update, i wasn't gonna tell them EXACTLY wat the update was for...

[Menace13]

How would you talk on a Wii? Point out each letter to type your message? I think NOT.


Menace13: ...A...N...D...[spacebar]...Y...O...U...?
Menace13 was bitten by a smart dretch that decided not to talk.

[Eyn Xaeyn]

that would be the only thing that the wii doesn't have much potential in, talking

[Eyn Xaeyn]

believe me, i have thought this over

[Taiyo.uk]

...evidently, not for long enough.

[your face]

HEH!  xD

[Eyn Xaeyn]

the Wii has enough controls for Tremulous.  the nunchuk c-stick can be used for running/strafing, Z could be use, C for in-game menu.  the main wii remote could be used for aiming, B for shooting, biting, etc., A for secondary attack, d-pad left/right-item select, d-pad up/down-use/equip item, minus-in-game menu. menu controls: B-comfirm, A-cancel, wii remote motion-move cursor

so yeah. i can say i have thought this out

[epsy]

pause menu???

[Eyn Xaeyn]

u know...it shouldn't be call that.
let me correct my self: in-game menu controls
