Ok from your other threads i see that you are learning java anyway so java is probably the best thing for you. Another option is php-gtk http://gtk.php.net/ it's cross platform, and is relatively quick to code, and it is easy to connect to mysql/pgsql databases (you can connect to oracle via ODBC) as php comes with database drivers. But then i am php biased. I would say go with java as thats what you are learning, but be prepared to do a lot of learning/coding.

OFF TOPIC No we can't! :roll: :wink: ON TOPIC Well so what, emerge no, but you can still compile from source like everybody else. Besides no time for winex when ET servers are nicely full(all the time). Must go plant some landmines.

enemy territory plays ok on a athlon 750 ,384mb sdram & geforce 2 pro 64mb 1024X768 res Much better on 1800xp 1024mb ddr geforce 4 ti4200 128mb 1152 X 864 res what resolution are you using?

Depends Your Welcome! :P

I replied on the Enemy Territory thread command line wget, wget -c to resume partial or GUI http://www.krasu.ru/soft/chuchelo/

The server has to support resuming downloads though most do. I use wget from the command line wget -c allows you to resume a partial download I know there are gui ones but i don't use them but heres a link to one. http://www.krasu.ru/soft/chuchelo/

Thats sounds about right, for that resolution. So there seems to be something fishy about your glxgears program.

Oracle would be rather overkill for your intended purpose. Have you searched sourceforge or freshmeat for an already working solution?

you have enemy territory? play a game and open the console window (~ key) then type "cg_drawFPS 1" without the quotes. will display the fps, play a bit and see if i fluctuates and see what sort of range of values you get. I don't know if timedemo works for ET Also remember to note the resolution and the display depth 16 or 24bit from your ET settings. I will do the same when i get home. edit: that is "/cg_drawFPS 1" not "cg_drawFPS 1" @ 1152 X 864 24bit I get 90fps pretty much solid can drop to 70 if massive amoun't of explosions going on. I can't remember the command to allow a higher fps.

Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen 1" Device "GForce ti_4200" Monitor "Samtron 75v" DefaultDepth 24 Subsection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" ViewPort 0 0 EndSubsection VertRefresh 50-160 HorizSync 30-70 I don't know if the extra 64MB's on my NVidia would make that much difference, but your cpu is faster??? Could it be :slackware: simple, got to LOVE it. :wink: Actually the 64mb ti4200 is faster than the 128mb version as the ram is faster on the 64mb. I would assume that Glxgears would not be using more than 64mb of the gpu's memory. Your fps seems highly unlikely i have a 1800xp with a ti4200 128mb and i get a little over 600 fps fullscreen at 1152 X 864 24bit. In quake3 games i get around 100fps at that resolution what do you get on games? if your glxgears was correct then you should be getting around 1000fps in quake 3. :wink:

I don't because i'm from New Zealand. :P

Personally i couldn't care less about getting a boxed set(i don't wan't the extra apps on the power pack). I always can get it quicker by downloading it than by waiting for it to arrive in a shop. NWN runs very nicely on my 9.1 (btw you should check out the user submitted mods if you haven't, i recommend the penultima stuff) I don't know stuff all about transgaming but all the new distros will use the new glibc so it does'nt matter which you choose i would think, i do use wine for jedi kight2. I don't know about the database front end in staroffice but openoffice has on in 1.1rc well sort of, you can make forms and reports but it isn't a RAD by any means IMO. But if you wanna go try SUSE well go ahead you can always come back.

Personally i like kate for c/c++ and kwrite for php. But i don't do big c or c++ programs.

damn im getting around 40 fps less on glxgears on my ti4200, must see what it runs like in game.

yes, the program (et) would have to return a 1 to get the "program executed" message, or a 0 for "program failed to execute". I don't think et would be returning either a 1 or a 0 ;-) because it's not expecting to have to give a boolean response to any program. in essence, the if/else statement he has just doesn't work... I realised that. I didn't read the system() function def untill after i was expecting it to give a 1 on success which was not the case. I also did not expect et to return anything i expected the function that called et to return a value as most functions do. system(NULL); returns 1 system(""); returns 0 so it seems to give 0 on success unless you put "" as the argument which also gives 0

You are missing a few options lke: It's fine but i like something else better I prefer to use the mozilla suite which works great for me.

Ok it looks like it returns 0 on success and something else on failure #include <stdlib.h> #include <iostream.h> int value; int main() { value = system("et"); cout<<"system returned "<<value<<endl; return 0; } changing "et" to "frog" gives [john@bob c++]$ ./test sh: line 1: frog: command not found system returned 32512 [john@bob c++]$ so it looks like system works as advertised.

Strange i just did this: #include <stdlib.h> #include <iostream.h> int main() { if(system("et")) { cout<<"Program executed"<<endl; } else { cout<<"Program failed to execute"<<endl; } return 0; } g++ system_test.cpp -o test on running ./test Enemyterritory started up fine so i quite et and it printed "Program failed to execute" :roll: Obviously i don't know what im doing, but system does open programs.

Don't forget tuxkart :wink: Actually i dislike racing games but i enjoy tuxkart on occasion

Not me i am in New Zealand and if the server was US i would have 100-200 pings instead of 20-60 i get in NZ.

I use mplayer for dvd

system() sounds about right. type "man system" in a terminal or man:/system in kounquer also have a look at "exec" and "fork" enjoy.

I would recommend yanc it works nicely for configuring tv out. http://yanc.sourceforge.net/index-en.html

Hey i just meant what specific thing is wrong and that all the pdf's i have made have been alright not to say that your's should be as you hadn't said at the time what the problem was. I don't use accented characters and have only tried jpg's for images so far with 1.1rc, the results for what i have done have been acceptable.

Well i think it was worth it for me, but i recently saw an article on gcc optimisations that makes me want to rebuild them all again with better optimisations. Soon i will have an extra athlon-xp system so i can let 1 rebuild stuff while i play on the other.
