I LOVE sandworms - they're cool. BTW, in HL2 the Antlion repellers are based (and are almost identical) on the thumper in Dune (whichever one it was).

Probably not, but he'd still rather be sure. I mean, would you go sailing alone on a one man raft without any insurance?

Here's an idea on how to achieve a similar thing to steam: Instead of using software, use hardware. Basically, when you buy the game, a small usb thingy comes with the game, which you need to insert in order to "Activate" the game, or if you wanted to be a bit more strict, you could make it that it has to be in whenever you play the game. However, this would'nt work for Valve as they are sick of publishers (just as much as Bush is sick of the UN) and would rather sell the game over the internet - nowhere to return it. Either way, my suggestion was but an idea on how to keep the gaming at least a bit fun, prevent piracy (which i do believe is justified in certain circumstances, ie: HL2) and not have to go updating steam every 5 minutes. But that would (OMG!!!!) raise the production price from $3 to $4 OMG!!! NO! WE WANT YO PAY VERY LITTLE AND MAKE SO MUCH!!!!! - F****n Valve

Well, if our thief was Garrett, noone could miss that green eye. Though Gerrett is not our thief. No matter

And the dark one: Note that it is you texture Not trying to copyright, just thought that I'd have to wait a while, so i changed it. Sorry if you take it wrong. --Dram lightgem_01.tga

Thanks a lot LOL, I went an made my own version yesterday, though this one eats it --Dram PS: Here's the bright of mine lightgem_16.tga

Always glad to download things for Thief2, Alexius . This is on my waiting list (along with Thief2x ). LOL, just looked, and my Thief2 folder takes up 5.5 GB :lol: . --Dram

Nice . I really like the fact that you re-introduced the alert thing from T1/2 (the little red lights). Not many thief-style games have that (T3 does'nt, neither Nightblade, etc [Though Thievery does]). --Dram

LOL, anyone remember Dune1,2,2000,etc? They were mad games

LOL - true

Hi Tels, good to have you here I hope this helps: This is what i have as my shortcut for the D3 editor: Target: (here goes the path to the Doom3 folder)\Doom3.exe +seta r_fullscreen 0 +seta com_allowConsole 1 +editor +vid_restart That's what I use to get to the editor If you want an explanation of what the commands do: +seta r_fullscreen 0 - makes the editor in not fullscreen, trust me you NEED this +seta com_allowConsole 1 - lets you to bring down the console with JUST the tilde (~), not alt+ctrl+~ +editor - self explanatory +vid_restart - resets the rendering and whatnot. Used by me to apply the fullscreen 0. For the path to the Doom3.exe normal, I have: Target: (here goes the path to the Doom3 folder)\Doom3.exe +r_fullscreen 1 +seta com_AllowConsole 1 +vid_restart Basically makes sure that Doom3 starts in fullscreen (cos the old-fashioned way was to keep changing the DoomConfig.cfg (the fullscreen part) back and forth. So just chuck these in, if they're of help --Dram

Though Spar, it's important to note that Valve was bit in the ass by their own program, cos all of the warez versions of HL2 were downloaded through the Steam servers (or most). So that will make them take 1 of 2 courses of action: 1: They say stuff this crap, and go back to normal, or 2: Shit! They hacked us! Ok people, I think we need to tighten the grip. Either way, I still think that it is in fact very cruel to the loyal customers that actually DO buy the game and are so inconvenienced by Steam, cos the people that don't pay a cent for it get much more pleasure out of it cos they don't need to update the motherf***er. In fact, here are some points on steam: *Steam chucks all valve games into a single folder *Everytime you startup, steam starts and (most of the time) updates itself) *Steam runs in "silent" mode (meaning that it will not show up in task manager) *If Steam detects a CounterStrike Source cheat or trainer on your pc, it automatically disables your CD-Key, hence preventing you from playing HL2 or CSS *It has happened to 2 or 3 people that their CD-Key was invalid when they bought HL2 cos someone else had downloaded a CD-Key generator and (unluckily enough) got that CD-Key *The last point (and the most important one) is that Steam is the gayest-piece-of-shit that came into this world, and it's creators shot be lined up and shot.....well........spanked. So there you have it folks, why Steam is gay. Last thing: The most effective way to reduce piracy is to reduce the price . Though you'll always get pirates (in fact, in Asia, 93% of games are pirated), and there is nothing that can ever prevent it. But on the lines of Steam Spar, I'm with you 100%

You ever tried killing those spiders in T1/2 (or thievery)? Shit no, you would'nt be able to kill them with a piss-flop dagger (technically yes, but in practice, when those things get close....goodbye). Look you get my point right? I mean, Imagine this, you've managed to taff a house, etc, but a guard saw your face. Flashing him won't make him forget, only one thing will: Death. Either way, Garrett would most probably much rather kill the guard and get away rather then get caught and be executed for thievery. EDIT: Remember, he was in it for himself AARGH!!! This bloody thread is going for too long!!

LOL, yeah, "Buy" it

Taz, you have a good point, however (here's an idea), what about the rumours of zombies, tree-beasts, pagans, haunts, spiders, etc. I personally think that if I heard a rumour that zombies walk around the place where I'm planning to taff next, I would most DEFINATELY grab the sword any day over the dagger, the last thing you want is to be stuck against the wall when a tree-beast charges at you, yeah, i know, you could use a flashy. But the point is, a sword is much more appropriate in the world that Garrett lives in then a pissy dagger. Also, he could carry the sword on his back with the bow , though it is true that he carries so much crap that he must be Hercules. But anyway, good point --Dram

Why use a key when you can attach a bomb? The lockpicking is done through placing a small stick of C4 into the lock and then blowing it to smithereens :lol: :lol: :lol: . Just kidding. I'm not actually sure - just a mapper Hopefully someone else may give you some idea. --Dram

Very nice

Good point. Though what I did'nt add into the rest of my previous post was that I bought the game, played it, finished it, returned it. That's right. Damn straight!!! . Was amazing that the shopkeeper took it back, though the reason would've been cos I actually got Doom3 as an exchange. DIE STEAM!!!!!!!!!!!!

We'll make sure . Even IF New Horizon has to use his gloves to permanently disable all our legs, it will be finished . --Dram

Man you are a poor bastard. Just search the net for a Steam crack. I bought the game a while ago, but i refused to play with steam, therefore i installed a crack. All good see? Anyway. --Dram

NOTE: Apparently, they want to get Oblivion out by "Winter 2005". Though this may not seem likely, it would be good if it came out soon. I really wanna give it a go

Ahh, Case closed

Very nice . --Dram

Well, this is the Off-Topic forum and your work is off-topic, so I can't see a problem. Though it's probably better to ask one of the leads (like Renzatic or Sparhawk). --Dram

One question btw, what tools did Tawan use? just out of interest --Dram
