What is the point of this?
Noobs already know that, just point them to a video version of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18qydf_aZDs
Code: [Select]
Linux: ~/.tremulous/base/
Mac: ~/Library/Application\ Support/Tremulous/base/
Windows: C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Tremulous\base\

And I would like to point out the obvious: This is not a Linux support forum. If you feel manly enough to run an exotic hippie OS, then at least take the time to get familiar with the basics of operating it.

1. You find tremulous.x86
2. you open a shell/console/command line, change into the directory where you have put the tremulous.x86
3. you type the following: sudo chmod u+x ./tremulous.x86

sudo = running the following command as super user / root (it will ask for your root password)
chmod = changing permissions on a file
u+x = give the group u (which is the "user" group) the permission to execute (x = execute) tremulous.x86

It is really easy - but you NEED to read about linux and how it is working. Really.
If your going to explain what it all does, at least do it right.
sudo asks for your password, not the root one, and only works if configured.  su -c does what you said.
and u+x allows the user to execute it.  The user and the group are very different, no such thing as the "user group"
Any maps not in the MG repo?  Email me or come to irc.freenode.net/#mg.

My words are mine and mine alone.  I can't speak for anyone else, and there is no one who can speak for me.  If I ever make a post that gives the opinions or positions of other users or groups, then they will be clearly labeled as such.
I'm disappointed that people's past actions have forced me to state what should be obvious.
I am not a dev.  Nothing I say counts for anything.

I'll just refrain from further posting here.

Hostility seems to be a pre-requisite for this forum.

Edit: Removed the "oh so offending" post.

I would suggest to you to extend this practice to the rest of these forums, you will surely do everybody a favor.

Quite a prize that you are not the king of this forum.

Let's try to stay on the topic of helping this poor hippie getting Tremulous to work! Yes, that includes myself too!
