Almost anything is possible, if you work hard enough. Please tell us more
about what your environment is before you expect any meaningful answer.
You might want to start checking out xmodmap which is good at remapping
keys.

Do remember that you are running the Linux version of ET. It is slower
than running native. You are very welcome to try to convince the
developers of Enemy Territory to do a FreeBSD version.


 As long as you have a fairly powerful machine you should be able to play
 it without problems. I ran it on a Celeron 2.8 GHz with 256 DDR-333
 without any problems at all. I never used caps lock, so I don't have a
 clue if I ever had problems with it.

 Cheers,

I will see about this xmodmap, about the shooting delay, I find it odd
because all other actions are timed perfectly except shooting and changing
weapons. My CPU is a 1.4ghz P4.. the game ran fine on windows (no delay).
The FPS are OK, this delay shooting is killing me tho.

I'm pretty sure it's not et-specific, because I also play RtCW, which is a
fair lighter game and I have the same issue. My only guesses are some
problem with the nvidia driver or with moused working on OpenGL..

FreeBSD desktop newcomer (Enemy Territory players read) - need minor help

2004-06-28 Thread klr
Hi list,

After sucessfully playing Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Enemy Territory
on FreeBSD 5.2.1, I decided to switch my workstation to freebsd. I have
large experience on the server side but kinda new to the desktop. Here are
some minor annoyances i'm not being able to solve:

1. I've added a 'paw' menu to access the main menu, but I'd like the
win-key to open this menu. possible?

2. Is there any app like in KDE to update the gnome (2.6.1) menus to
reflect changes in installed applications?


3. Annoyances with enemy territory:

  - The game console isn't bound to \. I have to open it with ~, and the
leading \ won't appear. This makes me send lots of commands to general
chat instead of issuing them, have to remember this all the time. I did
a bind \ toggleconsole, while it will bring console with \ then, it
won't make it vanish. My only clue was it could be a keyboard config
error, so I configured it (using gnome), layout portuguese keyboard,
microsoft natural. it should be working. Also on xchat and such, if I
use any letter with an accent people will see it as a '?'. How do I fix
this behavior ?

  - Im getting some delay switching weapons and shooting. I press mouse1
and about 0.5sec later the weapon will shoot. This should be
instantaneous. I don't have any idea on this one, solutions ?

  - CAPS LOCK key won't work ingame. Works fine on gnome. I need the caps 
  lock key on enemy territory.


Thanks all in advance!

Look to my answer above.

Hope that at least pointed you in the right direction.
