You know, Q3 already has support for both...

Kung Fu Panda too. But that's not the point..

Same here, i've been running windows past few months now because of this damn game :(

Yeah it should be released "SOON" but we don't have any update on their progress.
Too bad it crashes under Wine :(

i just hope that you can disable mouse accel in the mac version :/

Haha, I tried that. Couldn't find any way. MouseFix used to help, but 10.5.6 really screwed things up.

especially since mac os doesn't have a linear mouse accel like windows, q3 was almost unplayable for me. i just had it installed to watch demos.

mousefix for mac os never really worked for me with other mice than microsoft's so that wasn't an option for me either since i'm playing with a logitech mx300

i guess theres nothing left but hope that id figures something out.

OSX has built in accel that can't be removed?

I'm pretty sure it can be removed, there is no programmatic reason as to why it can't. One can also adjust the acceleration curve. I just don't know how to remove it.

in_mouse 1??

what is the point of using linux / mac?

no different than the point of using windows

except nothing supports linux / mac

nothing??
well i guess i must be imagining using linux/osx for almost everything, including windows applications, but mainly for reasons windows cant accommodate

apparently not quakelive

Actually someone got that working.

marry Vedic and create some rock band called "out of context", your first album could be "my e-penis grows so big when I try to start flame wars".

:)

im asking the point of using linux, not trying to start a flamewar. unless you dont want to pirate / buy windows there is no point since it cant run anything

it can run everything. Linux is mainly used in posix environments, real time applications, primarily all sorts of servers. *nux/gnu provide a totally different ecosystem than windows which has been around long before windows and runs plenty of things you are not aware of, including package managers.

emulating windows and getting poor performance on <2004 games is hardly being able to run everything!

Windows has two emulation layers itself, not like you notice. From what I hear wine runs some games faster than they run on windows. Not that I care, I'm not gaming most of the time. So no, you ARE able to run everything. It might be a hassle though, I would not recommend linux for desktop to anyone. OSX on the other hand is pretty awesome.

you hear wrong, i tried it and it ran quake 3 at <60 fps. apparently the two emulation layers that windows has actually work versus the nonworking wine version. unless you are managing a network it seems pretty much worthless

so you ran quake 3, natively available for linux, with wine?
Regardless, http://wiki.winehq.org/BenchMark-0.9.5
Anyway, so if quake 3 runs slow, than yes, it must be totally worthless. Also, there are no other uses for computers besides Quake 3 and managing networks. Good to know.

i didnt feel like downloading a new quake just so i could play on ubuntu and uninstall it 10 minutes later. i didnt say there werent any other uses, im just saying its useless unless you are managing a network since everything else is available in windows. and you dont have to be a nerdy piece of shit to get windows working either! i understand you want the elitest feeling of using a different operating system than what other people use, but unique doesnt always mean useful!

You don't understand shit. You don't need a new quake, just one binary, and put it into your q3 dir. You also don't have the slightest idea why I use linux or even that I think that its piece of shit in many fundamental aspects nor what I would rather be using, and why.

i didnt know that because i uninstalled it 10 minutes later. why does that matter anyway? it obviously doesnt emulates games very well, and hardly any games support it. you still arent making any arguments as to why anyone would use it over windows. i'm still assuming the only people that use it either program or want to be unique or something

you were answered conclusively enough about three times, yet you don't get it, so good luck with that

answering me with nerd lingo doesnt really explain anything to me, why not use casual IVEHADSEXBEFORE speak ? ?

Perhaps as someone who speaks IMCURRENTLYHAVESEX fluently, I can mediate between the two of you?

already thought about security? but i guess you just like your system being penetrated through the backdoor.

i dont even have an antivirus and i havent had a virus in forever (2 or 3 years)

well some people have. You aren't going to argue about that, are you?

that is because they are fucking retarded and probably trying to look for child porn with internet explorer or something equally dumb

and you're absolutely sure that's the sole possible case...?

wine runs wow and warhammer faster for me than windows does

the perfect games for a linux user

haha i knew some kind of response was coming...you think I actually play wow? was just testing it in wine on a friends account...quake in wine runs worse...but quake on the linux binary runs far superior :)

YEAH MAN I WAS JUST TESTING IT FOR A FRIEND, I DONT PLAY WOW MAN

I tried it, the game is bad. I'm not ashamed to say I enjoy playing mmo's...I still have an active warhammer account. But i was just curious to see how they ran in wine, and wallah both out-perform windows

no they didnt

you can do better

judging by the fact that wine couldnt even run q3 at 100 fps for me, i would say that you are lying

I already said windows ran q3 better than wine...However linux runs it better than windows

why do you speak english? I mean, esperanto is so much easier, and Mandarin Chinese is spoken by over 885 million people..

are you really that fucking stupid, or are you just pretending?

cool if you dont want to have a bluescreen in the middle of a performance
