Hey sup fellas. 

Stopped to look around to see what's happening, and saw this thread.  I ended up downloading both games, and they are both rather fun.  I'm an aggressive driver in Redline, and having fun with the RvS meets AA TrueCombat:ELITE.  Rather a large PC community plays the game.  I too, thought like mesa, that I would hit my head everytime I walk thru a door.    All in all though, it rocks for a free game!  Back to the PC'ers playing it.  I was thinking of even going as far as, mb making a MaC alliance, for this game (TC:E).  Being that most PC clans have about 50 members or so, I was thinking, we can make an alliance of about 50 ppl or so.  Mb we can all wear same tag, to identify us MaC users.  Something simple like...  How bout    MaC::Deora  Something simple, yet defining.  I'm up for any other suggestions, just giving out mine.  Anyways, get the game and get to know the maps, objectives, flags, etc.  Lots of fun    Hope you're all up to teaming up and killing these PC'ers!  Some of them are really really good!

And Joe I'm on right now and alas you are not.  Tears fill my eyes.  Come save me!

having problems getting the Mod to install. Shiex i navigate to the Wolfenstein folder and run it - and i select the app when it asks... but then when i load the true combat elite mod it just loads the normal version of Wolfenstein ET (and i can't select or load it from the mods...)

help!

[[a] LYNX]

trash everything and start again. install wolfenstein into /Applications - no other location! then just start the tce installer and say install, dont choose, do, think anything. it will work.

[BFG]

Spot on Lynx thanks mate, much appreciated.

[[a] ferret]

the reason for this is because not only does the installer create a mod folder called "tcetest" in the Wolfenstein ET folder.. it puts a .plugin file into your Wolfenstein ET application/package under Resources.

also if you have more issues remove your users/youruser/library/application support/wolfenstein et folder.

good luck.

omg those [a] guys think they're so smart  

I personally don't like the game. It's ok for a free game, but not my thing when I can play uber better games that I bought.

[[a] LYNX]

hmm, i quite dont get it where a recent title in this game category is better than this tigah. rvs? aa (just to name all the recent cs-clones)?

and now take this: because its free there is constant development in it (as long as its popular). not another expansion pack and then you have to buy a whole different game again.

and to justify that its free i like to bring in, that everything that reached a certain point will become a popular good. the cs-idea reached this point. if the game industry cant imagine anything cool new for this popular gamestyle then who cares if they want another 50 bucks for the same game?
but back to the evil sides of a free game like tce... the worst thing about tce is its unbelievable bad implementation of...

[BFG]

This game is about as close to Action Half life as i think we'll ever get - and i was about the biggest fan of Action HalfLife. Ok its not perfect, but its quicker and mnore enjoyable than Ameicas Army (you don't have to sit around waiting for ages) its fast action (very fast) and it runs a hell of a lot better than RvS or AA...

[[a] ferret]

it depends on who you talk to.. RvS runs fantastic on my mac vs TC:E. Yes the quake 3 engine is great in every aspect for oldermacs, however, this is NOT iD making a mod... this is a 3rd party. There are envirmental features on these maps that cause lag on certain machines with certain video cards. Thats just fact.

I like TC:E. I think the DBL should be looking towards this title in the DBL 2.0. Alot of people are very excited about playing it and I hear people discussing it all the time.

The biggest con about this game is the installation.. its a fucking joke. People all over are having issues and not to mention if they do get it installed they get hunk memory errors (another fun fact of quake3). you can try setting your hunkmegs to higher numbers and still get the same issues. ive seen it happen.

just as always ill play anything.. in anything .. for any ladder .. for any league.

Hehehe you big hoe you

Point taken - Dunno what your running but i hear RvS runs sexy smooth on a half decent G5. Its the partly the gameplay that i think people find refreshing - it feels more like playiing RS again rather than RvS maybe.  (and i've now expreienced the horrific lag type thing, not pleasant!)

i am a game slut.. i admit it...

i play on a G4 MDD Dual 1ghz 1.5gigddr 9800pro128vram and a sexy leather chair that makes noise.

[BFG]

A Dual 1Ghz G4 with DDR RAM?? How'd u manage that then?

bfg, already mentionend here but: theres some bug with the full detail graphic settings. if you move all graphic settings down to medium you changed the one that causes horrific lag and it will be butter-smooth.

You bastard I missed the "MDD" bit and was assuming for some daft reason that you were running quicksilver like me... i'll now go and cry in the corner for a little while!

[[a] ferret]

yeah i might have ddr but the dam thing is a vacuum cleaner, ask lynx.

btw back on topic.. here is a nice faq for TC:E via macologist.
