    Sum1 Please Help............

    You see, that's the kind of uninformed comment I really dislike. :o The FPS you get from a timedemo is the average through the whole playback. It's important to realize that that framerate is not a constant. When there are more sprites on the screen and more polygons and textures loaded, the...

    Quake 3 Problem

    Deelay is correct. You can delete the cfg file and Quake 3 should recreate it. However, this sounds like a different problem.... familiar though... Where do you have the Quake3.app installed? Be sure that in the baseq3 folder with the pk3 files is in the same level at the app. Also, make sure...

    Uhm...MACLOVA

    Don't acknowledge the trolls; it only encourages them!! :o Yes, it is annoying, but just ignore it. Don't reply to stupid remarks and the said "troll" will eventually disappear.

    Dangerous OS X Badge

    Actually, that's not just ASCII, it's also hexadecimal. Those are the three layers (image, alpha, 1-bit mask) of a cute little X. For the historians, back in DP2 the entire Mac OS 9-era startup screen was in BootX.

    Skin X

    Hey! I made Iridium and I resent that! There is nothing in the Iridium theme that should damage your system unless you downloaded a version modified by someone else or used the old 10.0.x version on 10.1 (a BIG no-no). :o By the way, Metaphorph X and the other "theme" installers do NOTHING to...

    Hee hee. I suppose this is a tad off-topic, but what the heck? :D My Mac is a dual 500 G4 w/ AGP Radeon. It's certainly not brand new; so, the current Macs should easily break 100 also. I use 800x600 for Q3 and have just about everything custom set. For the standard timedemo "FOUR.dm_66" I...

    There is no modem option for Starcraft in OSX. Period. Sorry. :(

    OH MAN! Escape Velocity resources in OS X!

    Okay, okay! :) I opened my HIToolbox.rsrc in ResKnife 0.4d2 (is there a newer version?) and upon scrolling way down, I too found those templates. However, they do not appear in either ResEdit or Resorcerer 2.2, as you said before. Thus, I believe this to simply be a bug in ResKnife. Don't...

    Terminal & Console -what/why you need to use it for ???

    While it'd be nice to have GUI options for everything, the CLI can be a very powerful tool. I use Terminal for a lot of batch operations that the Finder simply can not do. I can navigate the console just as fast (if not faster) as I can with the Finder. I use the CLI for permissions management...

    Sum1 Please Help............

    Ah yes, well, this is only for games driven by the Quake 3 engine. If you have Quake 3, there should be a file in ~/Library/Application Support/Quake3/baseq3/ called q3config.cfg. Other games may have their own folders in Application Support. This is a plain text file generated by Q3. Simply...

    blue screen of death

    weird indeed... Back before the GM of 10.1, in some of the *ahem* internal builds of 10.1 the DVD Player would sometimes crash and do the same thing: everything had turned an odd dark shade of green. It usually took two reboots to clear it up. Anyway, do you use a custom ColorSyc profile...

    OH MAN! Escape Velocity resources in OS X!

    btw, JohnnyV, Resorcerer is carbonized to run in OSX but it's veerrrrry expensive.

    OH MAN! Escape Velocity resources in OS X!

    The original Escape Velocity is not being ported, but Ambrosia will release EV: Nova as a Carbon app for both OS9 and OSX. It looks AWESOME. It's got totally new graphic and sound engines and a HUGE plot and universe.

    OH MAN! Escape Velocity resources in OS X!

    I think your copy of ResKnife is broken. Those resources do not exist in HIToolbox. BTW, isn't ResKnife an incomplete app? The last version I saw wasn't even a "beta" build yet. I wouldn't trust ResKnife at this point.

    What game is having this problem? If it's a Q3 variant, try putting this in your cfg file: seta r_minDisplayRefresh "x" seta r_maxDisplayRefresh "y" Replace x and y with values your monitor can use. I use 0 and 75.

    10 reasons why I should purchase OS X.1

    Mac OS X is not POSIX compliant. It's close, but nowhere fully compliant.

    Files are not hidden anymore!!!!

    You can use TinkerTook to turn that off or use this command in the Terminal: defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 0 That should take care of it.

    Maya screensaver

    Not the newest one. The newest version is a *.saver file that runs just like any other screen saver module. Nice.
