Are there any native single-player first person shooters available?

Hi there!
I'm searching for a good first person shooter that runs natively on my Arch64 system.
I know that there are several good first person shooters for Linux available, but i found nothing that gives me something different than deathmatch (well, there ARE several variants of it but in the end all variants are "a bunch of players is in an arena or something like that doing something like killing the other team members or destroying their base, steal their flag etc.").
But i want a single player FPS like Half-Life was. Or like the recently released "Stalker - Call of Pripyat".
Are there any? (FLOSS would be nice but is no must).
TIA!
Dirk

I've been looking for a good native FPS for a few weeks now too. I did try Sauerbraten. It was very impressive, but a little... odd. Of course the graphics and sound were great. The story and narrative impressed me, and reminded me of playing the intro to Half-Life 2.
But the odd thing was... little things. Like, I had the game on the "easy" setting, but still got my butt kicked really quickly. (which caused me to lose items and ammo, and therefore became harder) And the enemies were extremely aggressive, but sometimes would just... stand there, looking at me. It was a little eerie. And I died on the map I was playing in places that I probably shouldn't have, simply because it was confusing. (I saw the "Danger - Electricity" signs as I was landing on the platform with dangerous electricity) And I got stuck in a "hole" that was really hard to get out of. (I had to move a box, jump out of it, and try over and over to jump out) And I spent a lot of time trying to figure out where to go next, and I was just in the first 10 minutes of the level. And enemies seem to take a ton of bullets to kill.
So, to summarize, the graphics and sound and narrative and the "running and shooting" were all very good. But the level design and enemy design and difficulty level were a little off.
I uninstalled it and have been playing Assault Cube for a few days. The only "single player" mode is against bots in an arena, but I'm liking it because it is pretty simple (pretty much just running and gunning) and it is not a "twitch" shooter - people actually move a little more like they do in real life, as compared to something like Quake. I get my butt kicked in both Assault Cube and Quake, but at least I get my butt kicked slower in Assault Cube.
EDIT: I've been thinking about trying Marathon (Aleph One). http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=6111 It's a complete FPS. I haven't tried it yet. It's old, but age isn't a problem for me. I still love and play Doom to death.

Apple's iOS platform (iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch) has never, and will never support flash.
First on this; Thoughts on Flash. This is from Steve Jobs regarding Apple's views on Flash (2010)
Second; Adobe stops making Flash for mobile devices. This is from Adobe themselves last year stating that they would stop making Flash for mobile devices.
If you can find the App equivalent of the programs you are looking for, then congratulations, however, if you require specific 'programs' requiring flash, then the iPad is certainly not for you, and returning it would be the best choice (granted you are still within the return period).
The lesson in this; Research what a device can and cannot do prior to purchase

Are there any way to play movie from hard disc uploaded with java player?

I found quicktime player can export the movie as webpage versions, uses java to play the movie instead of quicktime player.
How can I do the same with iweb? From the webpage which quicktime generated said should insert some code to the head of page and something else, but how do I insert those codes to the page I create with iweb?
It said :
"To make your media viewable on the Internet, your media assets (movies, poster image) must be placed on a publicly accessible server.
The URL parameters must be modified if your media assets are served from a different location than your web page.
The movie URL parameters must always point to the reference movie (carsmoke.mov) rather than a source movie.
The reference movie must be kept in the same folder as the source movies.
Source movie names cannot be changed, but you can change the name of the reference movie (remember to change it in the HTML code as well).
Please note, to properly validate as XHTML, the <style> tag and the first <script> tag should be placed within your page's <head> tag."
Use this code in the <head> of your web page:
<script src="http://www.apple.com/library/quicktime/2.0/scripts/prototype.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="http://www.apple.com/library/quicktime/2.0/scripts/qtp_poster.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="http://www.apple.com/library/quicktime/2.0/stylesheets/qtp_poster.css" rel="StyleSheet" type="text/css" />
Use this code in the <body> of your web page:
" <<a href="carsmoke.mov" rel="qtposter">
<<img src="xxx.jpg" width="120" height="50" />
<</a> "
(I put < into << so it will not execute in this page...)
How to do these with iweb?

Can anybody show some official document to me because I want to know some risks and dangerous to report to my manager..thanks very much.

hi Anversha s
thank you for your reply
I means what's the risk when to use native sql to access external DB..
can you show me some examples about open sql which is used to access external DB...
Now I am investigating the technique about the connection
between SAP (by abap program) and external DB...the supporter suggestion is to use native sql to access external DBs.but my manager is afraid of the risks when to use native sql,So I have to report the effective document (example: SAP official document) to explain to my manager.

You don't need to upgrade your software. But if you're struggling with Spry, IMO you should cut your losses and switch to something better for the longrun.
If you have a budget to work with, I highly recommend Project Seven's Pop-Menu Magic 3. It's easy to use in DW CS4, 5, 6 or CC. More importantly, it's bullet proof and works in all devices.
Pop-Menu Magic3 by PVII (commercial DW extension)

If you don't have a budget to work with, you can roll your own menus with jQuery plugins. A bit more effort on your part, but they perform better than Spry.

Personal address book to a sub address book .. it will no longer work, are there any issues?

Hello .. in my personal address book - I can no longer drag a name from personal address book to a sub address list/book .. it will no longer work, are there any known issues,please ?
thank you in advance

I suspect that your Personal Address Book file is corrupted and won't save any changes. As a check, what happens if you double-click the List in question and add the new member by typing it in? And then if you close and reopen Thunderbird?

Are there any PC cards which have sample and hold capability

Are there any PC A/D cards which have sample and hold capabilities up to a 10 Khz sampling rate which we are interested in for modal testing of engine structures. Also if this type of card is available what would be the maximum input channel count of this card. We would be interested in the highest count available up to 64 channels.
A second question: We currently have a 64 channel PCI 6071 capable of 1.25 MS/s throughput. If we are using all 64 channels what would be the interchannel delay between the first and last recorded channel and at what frequency would we have to be sampling to even be able to see the affect of the interchannel delay of this specific card.
This issue has been debated wi
th in our group and your insight would be appreciated as you are the experts in this field.

Dear Sir,
Thank you for using NI Developer Zone.
National Instruments has a product line designed specifically for acquisition of dynamic signals, it is called DSA - Dynamic Signal Analyzers. In according to the description of your application the card that best fits your needs is the NI-4472 that is available in PCI and PXI format. This card is able to acquire 8 channels simultaneously, as opposed to the regular DAQ cards that have a single A/D converter and a multiplexer. The NI-4472 has 8 Delta-Sigma A/D converters one per channel, what results in a better performance than having a single A/D converter in combination with a sample and hold and a multiplexer. To Acquire 64 channels you would have to have 8 boards and synchronize all 64 channels. The Synchronization process is very simple and with a couple of software calls we can synchronize as many as 112 channels for simultaneous acquisition at 102.4K samples per second per channel.
Regarding your second question, the PCI-6071 will sample between channels in a single scan at the maximum sample rate of the board (1.25 MS/s) but the
scan rate, i.e. the rate in which the same channel is sampled is defined by the user. Being that said, we can conclude that the interchannel delay will be the inverse of the 1.25 MS/s clock, or 0.8 micro seconds.
For a 1 KHz sine waveform, this represent a phase delay of 0.288 degrees between consecutive channels. For a channel list of 64 channels each one having the same 1 kHz sine waveform, the phase delay between the first and the last waveform will be 18.432 degrees.
I really recommend the NI-4472 as a very good solution for your application, besides that the combination of the NI-4472 with LabVIEW and the sound and vibration toolset will give you a tremendous tool to solve not only your immediate need but also provide you a system that will be easily modified and adapted for future needs.
If you need more info, feel free to contact me and I can give you more details about this product.
Call 1 800 IEEE488 and ask to speak with the Computer Based Instruments (CBI) support team.

I have an imac G5 with a power PC chip running os 10.5.8. and using safari 5.0.6. are there any security threats i should be aware of? s there a

are there any security concerns using my PPC imac g5 running OS 10.5.8 and using Safari 5.0.6?

You could use a browser that does not use Flash or Java, as a safety measure when visiting sites; the Safari browser has no support or recent updates. TenFourFox v 24 is fairly good, and uses later Mozilla code, is compatible with powerPC computer limitations. SeaMonkeyPPC has a similar code, but acts a little different; and there still is iCab, a good browser that will run free, but asks you get a $20. license.
The Safari browser can be used to set a different browser up as system default, so it won't launch and open attachments or web pages; it has a setting in its preferences where you choose another browser as default. As I have four or five browsers and one dedicated to gmail (launched as signed-in, through notifier) that is how I've used the default, otherwise mine are all in the Dock.
There is no new upgrade for Adobe Flash plugin player, etc; but the one in their site for vintage is still available at getflash player at Adobe. Most prompts online are to get you something else, even adware loads up from some not-so-clever efforts to get people to install junk. So go to the source. Someone wrote a patch that is supposed to allow a later version of Flash player to work in older 10.5.8 PPC Mac, but I have not tried it.
The thread of security is mostly based on the user and their caution to avoid odd free software and also avoid some sites that try to get people to load cleanmymac or genieo, or other adware malware voluntarily. Those are troublesome and hard to remove, and can waste processor cycles, slow the computer & mess it up. Mostly from a browser the adware issues arise. For those you see The Safe Mac and read up on the adware removal guide, among others linked on the page: http://www.thesafemac.com/arg/
So anyway, there is really nothing new on the face of it for obsolete OS X systems users.
Good luck & happy computing!

Nas on airport extreme not recognized by time machine. same nas was previously used as time machine backup on different airport extreme. are there any configuration files that i can delete to fix this problem ?

nas on airport extreme not recognized by time machine. same nas was previously used as time machine backup on different airport extreme. are there any configuration files that i can delete to fix this problem ?

Time Machine has been working just fine, but in the last week or two it has given up the ghost. I reset the connections to the drive, and it will basically save a few bytes of data and then hang.
Although Apple originally announced, prior to the release of the first 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Stations (AEBSn), that it would support Time Machine backups to AirPort Disks, they removed that option before they did finally release the base station for sale.
Since then, Apple has posted (as you have noted) that they DO NOT support Time Machine backups to AirPort Disks. As far as I know, they have not changed from that position and those who do these backups find that they become corrupted over time. Sorry, but it sounds like you just confirmed that for yourself.
1) Has one of the recent updates either on the AE (firmware) or OSX disabled this function?
No. Again, this feature has never been supported by Apple for every generation of AEBSn released.
2) Are there any changes I can make to get this working again?
If your data backups are critical to you, then you will want to use a different solution for your Time Machine backup destination drive strategy. I would suggest that you connect your WD My Book directly to your Mac in the mean time.
Your other options would be to either use a Time Capsule (which interestingly does support TM backups to AirPort Disks) or a non-Apple solution like the Drobo FS or HP MediaSmart server.

Are there any other hidden editing options?

Thanks to this forum, I've found the redeye tool in iPhoto to be quite useful, but this wasn't the case before I found out about the Caps-Ctrl-9 trick that was posted in this forum.
Are there any other tricks that anyone has discovered in iPhoto that isn't mentioned in the help list?
And any speculation as to why these tools aren't mentioned in the help file? I mean, at first I was ready to give up on iPhoto because of the weak redeye. Why wouldn't they show us how to do this?
Thanks again to everyone here for contributing and making this a great place to learn about my Mac!

Paul:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. There is a hidden feature for changing the Redeye and Retouch tool size:
How to Change the Size of the Retouch and Red-Eye Removal Tool
Type Caps lockControl9
Undo caps lock
Click on the Retouch or Red-Eye Removal tool
The tab key will toggle between cursor types, a cross or a circle
The "[" and "]" keys decrease or increase the size accordingly.
NOTE: Using the "{" "}" keys will will change the value next to the circle and that represents the degree of change or intensity that the tool imparts on each pass.
Also check out the tip at the end of my signature for backing up the library database file on a frequent basis.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application, iPhoto dB file backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

My MacBook Pro beeped when I started up. Never happened before. I want to get it looked at, but I'm living in Antalya, Turkey right now. I will be in Athens, Greece until January 1st-are there any Apple stores in Athens? Please help. Thank you.

I have a mid 2012 MacBook Pro and it started to beep for the first time when I started up today. I think it was 3 continuous beeps then a pause. It sounded like an alarm and totally freaked me out. Then I pressed the on/off button for about 5 seconds and it restarted. I was able to get online, but then I had trouble with the trackpad, which is okay now. I have AppleCare and want to take it to an Apple Store, but I'm currently residing in Antalya, Turkey. I will be in Athens, Greece until January 1st. Are there any Apple Stores in Athens, Greece that I can take it to or Antalya, Turkey??? Thank you.
