Wolf ET

I assume you all know it's a free download for the Mac. Seems to work well for me and r_smp seems to be there too.

You can also drive it from the command line

Didn't know ET was on the Mac. Looked for it awhile back, but all I sqaw was a beta of of it on PlanetWolfenstein. Linky?

Yup, it's great it's finally done. Especially since I'm mainly playing Urban Terror and the mod is being ported to ET.
But r_smp 1 crashes the app for me. Dual G5 2 gig ram and 10.3.5

cheers

Downloaded and tried it out. It's pretty cool, but it's yet another FPS to me...

FWIW... I have 666.app talking to ET servers.

It looks like iTunes meets All Seeing Eye.

As the minimum requirements as specified in Applications/Wolfenstein ET/Docs/Help/index.htm on your harddive says 32 mb vram or more you are out of luck I think.

cheers

my 12" iBook 1.2 ghz (w/ 512 megs of RAM) got shat on; It ran at 20 FPS, until I got into a firefight/shot a weapon, then PB freaked out and locked everything up, requiring lots of random key pressing trying to remember what the force quit dialog was, since I don't know it off the top of my head as I never have to use it.

I'm actually forgetting right now. I keep thinking it's Ctrl+Apple+Power, but that's on the older Macs. heh

Ctrl+Opt+Esc ?

The app will be free. It'll likely require 10.4.x, mostly because I don't have a Mac running Panther anymore.

Because every time an app locks, you must open up terminal, find the process's PID, then kill it in the most destructive way a UNIX app can be killed. There's a reason I switched to Macs and OS X, and thats so I don't have to jump through complex hoops in order to do something.

So are you telling me you don't have "top" running all the time?

Post by **4g3nt_Smith** » Sun Jun 19, 2005 5:48 pm

Thats exactly what I'm telling you. Activity Monitor works fin for checking to see if its a certain app bogging things down, and thats the only use I've found for process monitors in OS X for me so far.

I use top pretty often, mostly to see if a particular cron job is running. The game network I'm working on uses background tools run off cron to populate our database of servers.

Mind you, been a programmer, it's not that surprising I use it a lot.
