First person shooters

A list of my first-person shooters on Artix-Linux,
- Assautcube
- Openarena
- Sauerbraten
- Tesseract
- Warsow
- Wolfenstein: Enemy territory
- Xonotic
It would be nice if these would also become available on FreeBSD. (I lack C/C++ knowledge)
 
I was too fast. Nice to see freebsd good for gaming.
We just need Valve to release a freebsd-steam.
On Warsow,

FreshPorts -- games/warsow: Futuristic, fast-paced first person shooter

Set in a futuristic cartoon-like world where rocketlauncher-wielding pigs and lasergun-carrying cyberpunks roam the streets, Warsow is a completely free fast-paced first-person shooter (FPS) for Windows, Unix, and Mac OS X. Speed and movement, that's what Warsow is all about. Like a true...

It's like an artist , or painter. Once created most of the fun is gone and then we feel psychologically is time to view other horizons.

Because they've done their use case and nobody is paying them to constantly watch for updates?
Most of "no maintainer" entries in ports still work.
 
Many of those ports didn't start off as unmaintained. Things can change over time. Sometimes a maintainer simply doesn't have the time for it anymore.

abandon port emulators/fs-uae

I don't have time to maintain emulators/fs-uae So it's time for me to release it to someone else or abandon it.

We need a section in the handbook how to set this up. I'm not upto level using linuxulater.
I wonder which distro's works fine under linuxlater and which not.

Once you install it there are instructions that it will give you for setting up the steam install. It does a check and requires a non wheel user account. But, I had issues getting proton installed on the non wheel account so I modified that install script and removed the check for non wheel user. And then I installed it under my normal user account and got proton set up. lol But, everything I have tested is working. But for most of the games that I have tested also run in wine. So, I'm not sure if it's worth setting up steam unless you just can't get it working on wine and maybe it will work under steam.
 
Sidenote,
chicken language clashes with mono language.
Both have the same file "csc". So you can only install or chicken or mono.
I fixed it by installing one of them in a separate jail
On linux distro's on the other hand, chicken csc is called : "chicken-csc", and mono csc is called "csc", so you can install both without a clash.

I don't think you fully understand what Steam is. Building the Steam client itself for a new hardware/software target is not enough, Valve also needs to convince game developers to port their games to it. They weren't quite successful with AAA games and Linux either.

I'd like to see them try WebAssembly + WebGPU route, but they aren't interested in that (yet).

After every steam update things potentially could break, freebsd would need totally separate team to maintain that stuff. Everything that has its entry in freebsd's handbook is strongly supported and backed up, steam cannot be in handbook without proper support from valve or freebsd foundation itself.

This is true. For some reason my linuxulator steam install is invisible on launch but I'm able to log in with the steam phone app and install games. But I tried launching from the shell with game id and it didn't work. So I'm using Suyimazu steam now. It may be an issue with my system though.

Edit: oh and for some reason after installing Suyimazu the plasma desktop is removed and has to be reinstalled. Hahaha it's crazy. I guess I should make a post about both these things.

Thats because you are probably have installed plasma with the kde5 metapackage which installs the plasma5-kinfocenter which depends on mesa-demos. While Suyimazu uses glx-utils.

You can easily rebuild Suyimazu with the desired build option below.
