Is there a Nethack GUI client for OSX Lion?

Question

This should not be a dupe of this question. I am trying to get Nethack up and running on OSX Lion, and the QT client no longer works (goodbye PPC support).

I found the Nethack Cocoa project, however the tileset is both slow and not very attractive IMO (I was a fan of the smaller, quicker tileset).

My question is if there are any other non-PPC Nethack tile-based clients that work with Lion (other than the one I mentioned), and if not, any way to replace the existing tiles with the more standard Nethack tiles.

To be honest, if none exist I'll probably go back to the terminal...

Answer

Nethack Cocoa supports different (and custom) tilesets via the Game > Tilesets menu item. There's an ASCII mode as well but I'm not sure if it's any faster...

Are there graphical Nethack clients that connect to public servers?

Question

So, there is the nethack.alt.org server where many users have gone and had their good times, using the text-based interface through a client such as PuTTY (or your favorite terminal client).

Anyway, I don't mind playing Nethack in console mode... However I do rather enjoy the graphical version far more. Are there any clients available that make use of graphical tilesets, and can connect to a public server?

Answer

I am hosting a public server which give the possibility to play a graphical nethack with tiles in a javascript frame. I am looking for people in order to try it. So you are welcome :) It's almost the same feeling as playing the windows/linux graphical version but with statistics and high-score online. And you have nothing to download.

Which variable of Counter-Strike 1.6 controlled the “Voice Transmit/Send Volume”?

Question

I know that voice_scale controlls voice receive volume, but which one is for voice transmit volume?

Answer

I think I got the answer.

It's the Microphone Volume in Control Panel controlls the voice transmit volume.

But they are not synchonized. When adjusting one volume, the other one does not changed at the same time.

  • When adjusting from Control Panel, you need re-open CS option dialog to see the new voice transmit volumne.
  • When adjusting from CS, the new volume will synchronized to Control Panel only after click "OK" in the CS option dialog.
