Enjoy Tremulous

Note: This article was featured in the June, 2008 edition of the Arch Linux Newsletter.

Cited from the Tremulous website, “Tremulous is a free, open source game that blends a team based FPS with elements of an RTS.” Sounds good? Yeah, and in my opinion, it is good. I have been addicted to this game since I started using Arch Linux full time, the fact that I have no other Operating System installed on my system makes me rely on Linux for everyday tasks and even for gaming. Tremulous is the game I have enjoyed the most so far in my Linux gaming experience, so I took on the challenge of trying to enjoy it to the maximum. Here is what I came of with:

First, install Tremulous. Its a simple command you can probably guess:
# pacman -S tremulous
Second, update your Tremulous executable file to the latest version:

This site provides an updated version of the tremulous.x86 file which on an Arch Linux system, after the installation of Tremulous is placed in /opt/tremulous/tremulous.x86. This file is the one that executes Tremulous. When you go to this site, click on the linux/ folder so that you start downloading the updated tremulous.x86 file. After successfully downloading it, change to the folder where you downloaded the file and as root (or using sudo):
# mv tremulous.x86 /opt/tremulous/tremulous.x86 followed by: # chmod a+x /opt/tremulous/tremulous.x86
Now, try to execute the game and see if it starts, if it doesn't then don't blame me. (just kidding). But it is always better to backup the original file first, with:
# mv /opt/tremulous/tremulous.x86 /opt/tremulous/tremulous.x86.bckup
What does this update provide? Well, along with other things it provides support for http downloads, and cl_guid support, which uniquely identifies you in game. I know, it does not provide ground breaking features, but it does help to better enjoy Tremulous.

Third, find useful sites which provide content for the game:

MercenariesGuild is one of those sites that you should bookmark, they provide a server for the testing of the tremulous 1.2 technology. Using their server you can help in the balancing of the release of Tremulous 1.2. Their site also has a downloads link which includes maps, mods and other goodies for you to make the best out of your Tremulous experience.

I'd also like to stress that using the updated client is important, in addition to bugfixes and security fixes, some servers will not allow you to play without it.

In any case, Twilight Dominion is a "pure" server that has no mods or gameplay changes from stock. You can connect to it at twilightlair.net:53311. We also have a mumble server; connect and use !info mumble.

In 1981, Ed Hardy and his wife formed Hardy Marks Publications. In 2004, Christian Bale licensed the rights to produce the high-end Ed Hardy UK line, which is based on Hardy's imagery. Prior to the Ed Hardy Clothing line, Bale was the Head Designer at Von Dutch Originals, which marketed the imagery of Kenny Howard. Don Ed Hardy, commented, As demand for my artwork continues to skyrocket, I felt it was Ed Hardy Clothes time to take on a partner that could help me manage the demand and opportunities for the Ed Hardy T-shirts name. Iconix is at the forefront of brand management and clearly has the capabilities to dramatically grow the Ed Hardy UK business. I'm thrilled to have them as a partner. Cheap Ed Hardy are located in everywhere. We also believe that by owning the brand alongside Ed Hardy Clothing, the founder, there will be opportunities to further leverage his iconic name along with his new artwork.
