Wolfenstein Enemy Territory working on Mac

Since one of the new updates on Mac it has prevented W:ET from running on the mac altogether leaving you with a quickened error sound and the program will finally just shut itself down. To enable it to run again on the newest of Mac OSX all you need to find is a simple text file called Autoexec.cfg and place it in you ETmain folder and the game will run just like normal again. Quick note if you are thinking the new updates of the game will help 2.60c & 2.60d dont bother they wil have the same problem look in forums for the link to download the text file as it is the only way the game will work.

I don't recall anything odd showing up in the terminal, but when I get home I'll try it.

I'm using fgrlx, the latest one, installed from the catalyst repo. The open source driver performed even worse, getting around 2/3 fps The funny thing is everything else that depends on the gpu works just fine

Wolfenstein Enemy Territory sound issues

I've installed the latest version + patch of W:ET from the AUR (running 64 bit archlinux). Out of the box the sound was not working. A solution here: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-40795.html worked. Specifcally:
$ sudo modprobe snd_seq_oss
$ sudo modprobe snd_mixer_oss
$ sudo modprobe snd_pcm_oss
And then this:
# echo "et.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss
However this seems to be only a 'half-solution' as after this the sound in W:ET works fine but I cannot produce audio simultaneously from any other application. I am required to close W:ET to use sound for anything else.
I also have et-sdl-sound installed from the AUR.
This is the relevant error from ET:
"------- sound initialization -------
/dev/dsp: No such file or directory
Could not open /dev/dsp
I have the following audio packages installed:
alsa-lib
alsa-oss
alsa-plugins
pulseaudio-alsa
lib32-alsa-lib
lib32-alsa-oss
lib32-alsa-plugins
libpulse
pulseaudio
pulseaudio-alsa
lib32-libpulse
Any suggestions? Apologies in advance for my lack of knowledge and experience in this area.

Its been like that for a while. punkbuster doesnt seem to like this workaround though, some servers will kick you.

Using sound for Enemy Territory and TeamSpeak

When I'm playing a match of Enemy Territory I would like to still here the sound that TeamSpeak produces. I've tried numerous things, but I can't get ET and TS to work together.
Does anyone have a succes story they can share with me?
my current .asoundrc:
pcm.my_card {
type hw
card 0
# mmap_emulation true
pcm.dmixed {
type dmix
ipc_key 1024
# ipc_key_add_uid false # let multiple users share
# ipc_perm 0666 # IPC permissions for multi user sharing (octal, defa ult 0600)
slave {
pcm "my_card"
# rate 48000
# period_size 512
pcm.dsnooped {
type dsnoop
ipc_key 2048
slave {
pcm "my_card"
# rate 48000
# period_size 128
pcm.asymed {
type asym
playback.pcm "dmixed"
capture.pcm "dsnooped"
pcm.pasymed {
type plug
slave.pcm "asymed"
pcm.dsp0 {
type plug
slave.pcm "asymed"
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "asymed"
Thanks in advance,
Marco

I had the same problem a while ago. The thing was that ET opened the sound-device in full-duplex mode (recording and playing at once) while TeamSpeak tried to do the same thing. But somehow this is not possible with the OSS Emulation of Alsa. So you've to overwrite the game's defaults by doing something like that:
echo "et.x86 0 0 disable" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0c/oss
echo "et.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss
echo "et.x86 0 0 disable" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm1c/oss
I've no idea what exactly each line is good for and maybe you have to adjust this a bit, but I guess a google search will reveal it. I put this lines into /etc/rc.local so I don't have to do this manually after each reboot.

Enemy territory and doom3 mouse annoyance

I have three options:-
1. Do not disable dga in xorg.conf- :- If my move my mouse too much, some of the movement data is stored in some buffer or something. Press any key or move the mouse some more, this movement data stored in the buffer gets released and you can see the cursor moving in random directions. Till all the data gets released your keypresses do not do anything except moving the mouse. Virtually unplayable.
2. Disable dga:- mouse movements become slow in doom3 whereas in enemy territory very slow mouse movements are not picked up at all. Extremly irritating.
3.X11_SDL_VIDEO_DGAMOUSE=0: does not seem to make any difference in et(I think it does not use SDL). In doom3, it is same as disabling dga in xorg.
rtcw works perfectly, what is wrong with et and doom3?

export SDL_VIDEO_X11_DGAMOUSE=0, nor any other suggestions worked for me either. I think that there's actually two very similar problems that are being lumped in as one.
There's no problem with slow mouse movements on my system. It's that whenever the mouse wheel was used, the wheel movements wouldn't register until the mouse was moved. That in effect would delay the actual mouse movements. And the more the wheel was used, the greater the delay.
I just locked all of my xorg packages to the last working release.
Edit: Should note, I only tested RTCW:ET.

Enemy Territory 64 Bit Sound Problem

Hi fellow Archers,
I am running Arch64 and managed to install ET. It works fine except the audio. I installed the et-sdl-package and its dependencies.
et-sdl-sound
lib32-alsa-lib
lib32-sdl
When I run ET the console outputs:
------- sound initialization -------
/dev/dsp: Device or resource busy
Could not open /dev/dsp
I have found multiple posts on this topic, but I couldn't make it work... could someone please help.
Thanks in advance.

I would recommend just downloading the et-sdl-sound script (it's a single file so you don't really need pacman's help to manage it) and putting it in /usr/local/bin or somewhere under $HOME. You will have to add '!strip' to the options array in enemy-territory's PKGBUILD, otherwise the script will not work (it says 'unrecognized ET binary' or something).
It seems the AUR package for et-sdl-sound gained some support for x86_64 since I last looked at it, but according to the comments (and the fact that it's flagged out-of-date), it has all kinds of new problems.
(Don't forget lib32 packages for pulseaudio in case you use that.)

Enemy Territory Quake Wars won't run because of video card/driver

I have installed Enemy Territory Quake Wars to my Tecra A9-51U and when it trys to load it comes up with the message:
"The current video card / driver combination does not support the necessary features: GL_ARB_texture_rectangle or GL_EXT_texture_rectangle GL_ARB_shader_objects GL_ARB_vertex_shader GL_ARB_fragment_shader"
I have tried to install new drivers from both intel an nvidia however they they dont work and say that the driver must come from toshiba however I can not find any!
Is there anything that I can do to resolve this or is there nothing that i can do to get it working!!?

Hi buddy,
why so nervous? I have here some nice sites which have really good drivers WHICH WORK ;)
Check these sites:
http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/ (read the FAQ section first)
http://www.omegadrivers.net/
download the drivers from there and play quake wars. Its a nice game, I am waiting for it since I ordered it and it should come next week.

Enemy Territory freeze

Occasionally when playing Enemy Territory, I get a freeze. Game locks up, sounds goes itno a loop. Ctrl-Alt-Backspace doesn't work, I've got to switch terminals and kill it from there. When this happens, running top shows et.x86 is using 99.n% of my CPU. Is this an X.org, ET or NVIDIA-releated problem? I just want to know where to look, normally it doens't really worry me too much cause I'm not really a gamer, it just pissed me off last night so I'd like to try and fix it if I could.
X.org 6.8.2
Latest NVIDIA according to pacman

Do you have "RenderAccel" set to true in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
You could launch ET via the command line. Open up a terminal and type:
> /opt/enemy-territory/et
and look at the output...

BB Desktop Manager no longer works with Mac Maverick - Need Help Urgently

I have been a loyal Blackberry user since the Government of Canada officially began using these cell phones. I feel, however, abandoned by Blackberry (they obviously don't believe that it is easier to retain an existing customer than acquire a new one). I'm using a Blackberry Bold (9900) with a Macbook Pro. Everything was fine until I upgraded my Mac operating system to Maverick; my Blackberry Desktop Manager no longer works, so I cannot sync the content (contacts, calendar) of my phone with my Mac, but that's not the worst of it.
I recently had a momentary lapse and exceeded the 10 password attempts to access my phone... this accidentally wiped my phone clean... and because Desktop Manager does not work with Mac, I do not have a way to recover my data. Rogers was of no help and had Blackberry updated its desktop software months ago, as it should have, this issue would have been moot. I do not know how or why, but I was able to recover most of my data, but I'm not sure just how up-to-date tha data is and am still going through it, but I'm having issues with some functionality.
I'm in the US for several months and have suspended my Canadian services. Prior to the wipe, I was able to use wifi on my phone to send and receive emails with no problem. After the wipe, I can't send emails or bbms. I checked my blackberry internet service and all email accounts are good to go. BBMs are another issue. I need help. Suggestions please.

Apple has ceased synchronization with Mavericks. The issue lies with Apple, not with the desktop software. To mitigate the lack of sync capabilities in Mavericks you can sync your contacts and calender on your Mac with the usual suspects (Yahoo, Google). Create a backup (archive) for Contacts and Calender on your Mac first, then create one of those email accouonts that allow syncing. On your 9900 and with BlackBerry provisioning enabled create the new or existing email account. See which email accounts can sync with BB, I know Yahoo is working fine. For Yahoo, get the Yahoo Calender sync (a few bucks one-off payment required), Contacts sync works off the shelf within BB. If you reset the 9900 you should be able to restore all data with BB DTM. Please note that emails you received during the 9900 reset and the date of restore will not be available on the device. You will still not be able to sync contacts/calender over BB DTM. I hope that helps.

Hi ron1098,
Try my application Dates to iCal. it runs on the Mac, but you can sync the calendar to your iOS device.
See more about Dates to iCal here. It is £4 shareware with a 2 week demo.

Wireless print server that works with Macs and Epson R1800?

Hi,
I'm looking to buy a wireless print server, which I could use as if the printer was connected directly to my Mac. So basically, it just needs to have printing over IP port (like port 9100 on HP JetDirect) and drivers for Mac OS X (or ideally, no special drivers needed at all). Devices that do sharing of the printer only over LPD (older Unix), SMB (Windows), IPP (Cups / newer Unix) or similar protocols is not what I'm looking for here.
The reason why LPD, SMB and IPP are not an option is that I'll need utilities such as Epson Printer Utility to work over the network too.
It looks like Linksys, Belkin and some other have products that allow access to the printer over port 9100 (standard HP JetDiret's port) as if the printer was connected directly to the computer. However, for the most part I was able to find only success stories for Windows users.
Windows has standard driver that allows connection to the printer to be easily switched from USB port to network port. Does OS X comes standard with that feature, or is the special driver needed?
Most importantly, has anybody had success with printing from Mac through wireless print server (any brand) to Epson R1800? Did the Epson Print Utility (checking the ink levels, checking and cleaning the head, etc) work? Any special drivers needed?
Thanks

direwolf has hit the nail on the head - the Epson driver won't work for IP printing. The Epson driver is a Carbon driver, where they build the comm protocols into the driver instead of enabling use of the standard protocols on OS X (that are part of the CUPS system). You'll need a CUPS driver to use the standard network protocol(s). The printfab driver is a CUPS driver.
Exception - the Apple Extreme/Express/etc print servers have firmware that make them work like Macs - Mac-to-Mac sharing works with USB-only drivers! I hesitate to recommend the Extreme/Express, because Apple can't seem to get all the kinks out.
