Guys no panic. Springheel maybe havent updated the news section, probably because he didnt thought he had to so soon after a major release.

Lol, thats why i love this mod....

Great job guys. Its more than good to see the mod alive and kicking.... :D:D:D The Dark Mod ftw!

Hi all. Was off the forums for some amount of time. Still, I was always looking for the News on the mod. However, news section hasnt been updated since 2 and a half months now. I know that the answer should be somewhere in the forums, but i cant search 3 month's posts. So what is going on with the mod right know? Are u guys up to something or is there a pause in development? (Now I read again, I only hope what I said didnt sound offensive...)

Lol, havent noticed that.... Hehehehee

Today at university I picked up a conversation with my programming processor! Well I dont know if this stament stands true however he told be that 64-bit processors can hold double length word commands! Well as a conclusion one 64-bit word stands in for double memory than that of 32-bit! Yes and I know these, but so far I thought that a 64-bit processor with a 64-bit OS would half the pauses between reading 32-bit words. As far as I understood, he told me that this doesnt happen and a 32-bit word is stored in a 64-bit memory stack! Well that means that my memory must be twice as much to have the same performance as the latter one! Still, why do that, since assembly manages things good enough in 32-bit commands. Does this stands true or its just me having not understood well... --> Oh and something else...Uni had given us a free book for learning C++ which is not easily understood and its not in my kind of likes. Despite tha fact that I already have passed both C++ courses I made a small search for good C++ books. I concluded in deitel series (www.deitel.com). If someone knows, are these good books? And if not which would be a good one?

And just imagine that you two are working on the same mod! Its all in workmate relations....

Seems interesting although I didnt read the full article (kinda boring observing all functions...)

???? There are so stupid ppl after all.... 1. You are calling ppl nerd because I wanted to install Thief to play T2X??? 2. Count your posts in the forum and then count the rests! Who spends most of his time next to a stupid PC screen? You may are an older member, so just count post percentage. Still you are one of the most nerdish 3.And you know what? I dont come each day here and write in every thread just to be "considered" and not forgetted 4. Also HELL I would bet my d!c& that my girlfriend seems a LOT better than your does, despite the fact mine should be "nerdish".... I have been seeing you throught the forums oddity, you do nothing but just complaining and nagging and swearing others! GET A LIFE! Stop pretending to be a smart alec! I can accept a different opinion and a justification for it, but certainly cannot accept a dump one playing it "somehow"... Gosh, some ppl here are even worse than ttgl's....

Now you are talking bullsh*t you know that? And how are you supposed to know how many times I have finished playing thief in any way???? Computer geek is someone who has his life centered around computers and not real life! Even the best programmer and hacker in the whole world is not necessary a computer geek if knows how to measure stuff! And one more thing! You DONT know neither me nor sparhawk and certainly you dont know all of us here (I dont know even if you know just one), so do not insult someone you DONT know! God Jesus....

Actually I wanted to install it because I have never played T2X: Shadows of metal age! As for discovering that myself well yes! In the ttgl forums one mentions about a multicore fix but nothing more! In google search multicore fix drops you stupid results! I just got a flashback from my Isssas virus when I had to open each day to task manager and delete from the processes the fake issas! At that time I have seen something like CPU 0, CPU 1 (CPU 1 was unavailable back then) but now I got the meaning of this! Seems to be perfect fot Thief's multicore issue!

Well I have been trying to find a solution to a problem all users have with old thief games in multicore processor based systems. Game crashes after a few seconds. This happens due to the fact that Thief was not made for multicore tasking and games finds itself in an uncovenient situation while performing tasks. That means when an arrow extinguishes a torch, when your player dies there is a big chance of the game to crash! (to hazard a guess this happens most times 2 actions happen simultaneously). So what one must do? 1. Download latest nvidia or ati drivers for its video card 2. While playing Thief press ALT+TAB! Then CTRL+ALT+DEL to bring up the Task Manager. Then go to the processes Tab, find the Thief2.exe file and right-click on it. GO to "Set to affinity..." button and unlick all available CPU except CPU 0. This will make Thief up an d running even on Windows Vista! Have Fun!

I am afraid the dont. New theories about universe creation are up and running (at last one university in greece is examining about such a theory - cant imagine how many in the world are conducting similar experiments) and even high-class scientists are mind-boggled about what is really happening. As for the "who", it was an idiom for those who believe that there is a god. If still there is one, then certainly is not like the way religion describes him.

Well I just saw the videos and found the last one the most convincing. Especially the second one was for dummies! Lol the third video had a man expert in biology and yet he had some Delphi books in his bookcase. AS for me I have already stopped bothering who created the world and all such stuff. Experts got confused and even them cant find a solution. I have seen a tv show that showed this clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkcvS3tzBLE (for me this is just a monster-born child and nothing more - as are childs who had their flesh for skin) and told us that we were bread from an alien race. I think anyone can tell what he likes and in a way prove it since we dont have clues about that topic. What comes more as reality to me is that all these we see are part of the evolution process. It is true that for some time we have not seen any major changes, but how can we say that in a period of 2 billion years after life apperared? I think noone knows what happened at that time.

Yes and I know! And thats what I was pointing from the beginning! Its not a simple misuse than can kill ppl... Its something that derives from the society itself and the problem also hits society itself! Death is only the tip of the iceberg, there are a dozen more problems below that tip. Sure you cant blame games for providing escapism some ppl need, which is in their nature. Its like you said, blaming dynamite. I think its more a matter of education (strict memorizing, bad teachers, less interaction and communication among children etc) and the way our society acts (giving honor to the gratest, passing false ideals such as fame and power) and less game's.

Well, I am afraid I dont see it like this. Why should even a single one die out of this? Games are supposed to be entertainment arent they? And each start doesnt come as a major fact, but instead comes slowly and after some period it starts seeing like something. I dont know if the situation deteriorates (in my opinion I think it will) since we already have all the means for this addiction to evolve but this generation lived somewhat out of this (I dont mean games, but online games, which are much more addictive since they give you the false depict of a real life!). Maybe it wouldnt change dramatically, thats for sure, but still I dont feel comfortable and ok seeing this phenomenon...

Sparhawk, I reply to your #16 post, since it is too big and I dont want to re-post it! Well, sure I know that these doesnt affect you, but in general some ppl have a tendency to resemble one's counrty example with the whole country, thinking that one's country ppl must resemble in each other when regarding social behaviour and education matters. If you dont believe this happens, try seeing the posts in the youtube's video. I said that just wanting to be ok from my side. Now about the genuity of the video... Guys I think this video is real. And is so real that we regard this as fake! No child has such acting abilities and besides I already know ppl that have had broken keyboards, smashed pads and etc. In Korea ppl are killing each e.g beacuse someone decided to sell an item another had. We are talking about deaths here. And in the example I describe I have read almost 3 - 4 such cases and characteristically in one I read that the killer, when asked why did he killed him, responsed: "Its better now, besides I made him a "backstab", hehe"!!!!! Even murder has started looking as nothing seroius in some guys like them. (Wonder how much WoW and Lineage the would play in prison). And not counting in the deaths of constant playing (I think hi-score is 7 or 12 days) As for the prohitive measures I think it is very right what sparhawk mentions. And dont know how many already know that, but Bill Gates having seen the same symptoms at his daughter restricted her pc-time to 45 mins. But in my opinion you must restrict it and then explain why you had done that. In sparhawk's case he had done it before, when trying to talk at her, but not many parents bother doing that and even more dont bother even seeing if their kids do have a problem. Almost 50 million ppl in China considered to be addicted. And another one... What girlfriend should I find and which one would stay with him when he spends half a day playing WoW. Still suppose we do find those...if the guy doesnt want to have one (read post #1) I cannot force him to have one!

Oh and when we say about addicts have a look at this:Unreal Addict (Sorry sparhawk this doesnt affect anyone of your country, this offends anyone that resembles him) Its not WoW relevance nor any MMO. But it is what lies behind. I have re-posted that in some other thread but then I thought it was fun (in the thread -which I had began- I had posted that, I made some fun comments)! Well after a few considerations, I thought this was much more serious! And hell, what would I do if this was MY son??? Honestly now, I would feel that I failed as a father and hopeless, not knowing what to do! And as a matter for discussion, think of every such kid's father... What should be his response to that??

Is this really the case? These guys need help and rehab! When you know a person can really offer (I am telling that because I have seen everyone in before-WoW era) wont you care about him and his progress? The guy mentioning above having left his studies, I feel sorry about him! Because he is addicted and cant understand now, shall he be doomed for his whole life? Dont know maybe sounds stupid, but everytime I see such a guy, I try to change his mind with showing him how real life is and for showing how it is to have a girlfriend ffs!!! When for a period of time I found myself getting addicted to Guild Wars and started having seen my pals for more than 3 months, I knew something was going on and quited! Still if there was none of them to make me company and I had been abandoned, I may couldnt quit! So help is always welcome! Just some ppl need more help either because they are more addicted, or because they are having less real world sources or even due to adulthood cases...

Yes I agree with that! MMO is their chance to prove they are "someone" that they are not in the real life. And unfortunatelly the "someone" they aren't is something god-like or what... I only pray of this, to be just a fashion of newest time and nothing more! Cause what "someone" are you going to prove you are, when in Korea ppl die out of this!!!!!!!

Well at schools last year we all give some exams to enter the university. These exams are veeery hard and to achieve in some good universities study must be over 4 hours per day (even weekends). If you fail to achieve at least half of the maximum grade then you are disqualified from entering even the worst one. I am not gonna discuss if this is good or bad, just point something that I encountered yesterday even f I knew it was a fact! In my town there has been an Internet cafe where everyone gathers around there and play (what else...) WoW. the point is that I have old friends and familiars going there. Still, whats the case, you will ask! Well the fact is that these guys are playing almost 10 hours per day! And mostly night hours during 20:00 - 07:00. These guys have really F@C&ED of their studies and from studens of 18 - 20 (20 is maximum grade) they have become students of 05 - 06. A good student if fails to achieve a good score takes it more than seriously and now that its university time for them they should have taken it more. However the have really left studies, life and everything from their life for a stupid game. And when I say everything, I mean everything! E.g: There was a friend of mine which me and another friend told him to meet a girl (also friend of ours - but he didnt know her) and eventually for something to work out. This guy I am describing is nice-looking but never had a girlfriend. Can you guess his response? - Sorry, really cant do now! I must cap my char in WoW and reach lvl 70. After that, why not??? Yesterday we were going into a club and asked him to come with us... Can you guess another response? -Sorry, I have a raid! GOD JESUS! Whats wrong with these ppl? I gradually see these guys in there and they are getting constantly fatter and fatter, almost all non-smokers had started smoking and noone (and I mean noone) has short hair! Everyone has long dirty, smelly and disgusting hair. I surely know that each guy (because no woman would hold being in there) had suffered a cosmotheory change to the worst. I just cant stand seeing some guys like that and mostly former friend that I could go out and laugh and discuss at them. Now every time we go out they tell us about WoW stories and we swear them. I just hate this to happen and yet I cant do anything!

Well, havent checked out the site for a couple of days, so I didnt come up to what was going on lately! Anyway, one word! Great work guys, really! Its a pleasure seeing this project is still going and evolving like this! You all do some great stuff and still I cant wait to this project alive and kicking! And so does every one that loved Thief universe! GG!

LOL, hehe! I knew that And how would you know, since you cant see if it is a "g" or a "q"....

Happy birthday to you... Happy birthday to you... Happy Birthday dear Komaq! Happy birthday to you...!

OK, you know whats going on? I am a big fan of Half-Life and I STILL everytime I think of invisible barriers consider it as NOT a flaw! If you say that they needed less than 5 minutes to fix that, then laziness is not the word because it wouldnt take even effort to do that (considering that there are some tens or even some hundred) artists in Valve! I still think that Gabe Newell had some reason for doing that. Or even if he hadnt any reason at all, at least he thought he had...
