[Faith, Reason and Truth]

Quite the contrary, HC. I listed above how the universe shouts that there must be a wise, ordered creator. Conscience is another natural knowledge of a god that I mentioned. If you want another -- you can also recognize how sin and evil can make people, whether by rationalization or intuition, recognize that we need some sort of godly help in the world.

 

Do you mean these points?

• God exists (for there could be no creation without the Creator) <-- This is one of the assumptions Springheel was talking about
• God is eternal (for he existed before the world)
• God is powerful (for he made the universe by his command)
• God is good (He cares for all his creation)
• God is wise (seen from the intricacy of creation and creatures)

 

I don't quite understand the question though. Are you asking for a rationalization to believe in God? Want or need? What sort of 'reason' do you mean?

 

If those are the points you were talking about, than why look in the bible and declare him the cause of that? Is that because its supposed to be the revealed word of God?

 

 

What if I had a book that claimed to be the revealed word of the Flying Spaghetti Monster and it said he created everything and gave human beings a conscience to know right from wrong-- Is that an equally valid claim?

 

 

Your sociopath example touches on a different subject: one of how sin disfigured and tainted God's lost and confused masterpiece of creation -- humanity.

 

 

 

 

Is a hermit with no missionary/religious contact held just as accountable before God?

 

 

 

Lets say a prominent pastor suffers brain damage that inhibits his ideas about right and wrong, and his ability to feel pity or remorse. He no longer has a conscience, at least in the neurological sense, so to speak. Does this damage to his brain which he had no control over, still make him accountable?

[Faith, Reason and Truth]

Well, God is 'the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lord, who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see'. If we are to know anything about God, God must reveal himself. Thankfullly, he has already done this: in his creation. In fact, the revelation of God's existence learned from creation is so clear that the Bible tells us only a fool would deny God exists.

 

So you're saying the reason why we should believe God exists is because the bible says so?

 

We see from the law that God wrote into peoples' consciences that we are accountable to him. The conscience, a spiritual emotion, testifies to the existence of God's law in human hearts. On the basis of this law, the conscience either approves or condemned behavior. Therefore, all people have a knowledge that God exists and that they are accountable to him.

 

 

What about sociopaths-- people who don't have a conscience? Do they still have that knowledge? Are they still accountable?

I don't think there was anything specific about them, but don't quote me on that

[Editing Tip of the Day]

What even after Windows says it has crashed?

 

Hm, does the screen go grey?

 

I'm not sure

 

Try leaving it on for a few mins, go eat some lunch or something and see if its done anything

[Editing Tip of the Day]

Just give the render mode some time, especially if you have a lot of lights, usually it pulls through and renders everything

You could bite the bullet and manually make the .xd file yourself

[Lantern killing AI]

Turns out it wasn't the lantern...I just forgot to position the AI properly and he was falling to his death on map start.

 

 

 

 

[Editing Tip of the Day]

Need to put a texture on a bunch of brushes and want to do it fast?

 

Click the mouse wheel on the texture to copy it, than

 

to paste it naturally: shift+mousewheel click

 

To just paste it: ctrl+mousewheel click

There shouldn't be any reason to set affinity, as far as I know. I'm running a multi core and everything works fine. The wiki should really say "disable desktop composition". This can be done from within Dark Radiant now. Click "Edit", "Preferences", and go to the compatibility option. Put a check mark in disable desktop composition. Restart DR and see if that helps.

 

Yes, I realize that now. I've been a bit out of the loop.

[Readable Editor Doesn't Work]

[Readable Editor Doesn't Work]

Do you have a multicore CPU? (Windowskey + Pause break to see)

Than set the core affinity for DR.

 

To do this:

 

1. Right click taskbar, click "Task Manager", click processes

 

2. Open DR, while it is loading, right click on DarkRadiant.exe and click "Set Affinity..."

 

3. Unselect all cores but "CPU 0"

 

See if that helps

Are you using Vista?

[DR copy, paste problem]

ctrl+s? Thats save, copy is ctrl+c

[Faith, Reason and Truth]

@Mortem,

 

I'm curious which bible translation you use?

 

Wait, I think I misread, you read a Greek text right?

[DR copy, paste problem]

So you can get into DR but nothing appears?

[Editing Tip of the Day]

Hmn, I was just thinking, if you guys collect enough tips, they could be displayed on the DR splash screen while loading.

 

This is an excellent idea!

[<=Doom Script Highlighter=>]

Kalwin,

 

This is pretty cool. I tried to do something similiar a year or two ago but could never figure out how to do it with N++.

[Self-Lit damageable mushrooms: discuss]

Just my opinion, but as default behaviour it seems like feature creep to me. It's not really adding much to gameplay, just creating a free, less useful gas arrow.

 

Gas arrows are the most expensive weapon a player can buy, which seems kind of silly if anyone could just harvest poison gas bombs for free.

 

Perhaps what makes the gas arrow different from a gassy shroom is the arrow contents are more concentrated or refined?

[Editing Tip of the Day]

You can bind some unlit fires to an NPC (like a zombie) and shoot it when a fire arrow, he'll erupt in flames, but the flames won't damage him. You could also light him with a candle. I'd bet theres some way to make that actually kill the creature, or at least cause it damage.

[Self-Lit damageable mushrooms: discuss]

How about if the player eats them they see colors?

 

So if I get this straight, the shrooms could be picked by a player, thrown as a gas bomb or an explosive bomb, and could detonate if the player (or AI) steps on one?

 

 

edit: Ohh, now maybe I'm getting a little carried away, what if there was a shroom arrow that made a patch kind of like a moss arrow, except it grows mushrooms that act as a land mine?

Congrats.

 

Perhaps this is superstition but I would recommend you uninstall any FMS before your next update...

 

I don't think it was the FMs, I think it was something screwed up with my script file

[How to make sounds play only once?]

Fixed.

 

I had it target a trigger_once that targeted my speaker, thanks Baddcog.

 

I feel really stupid

[How to make sounds play only once?]

I have a door target a speaker, so when the door opens, it plays the sound. But, it keeps playing whenever is the closed and reopened. So how do I make it play only once? Is it a property to adjust in speaker or on the door?

[Error: File Script\tdm_events.script, Line 1220]

Deleted everything in my darkmod folder, ran tdm_update and it works again

[Error: File Script\tdm_events.script, Line 1220]

I would completely clear out the TDM directory and then just run the latest updater before you decide to blow out everything (reload, FFR, etc).

 

(make sure that no conflicting Mods are in the Doom 3 directory as well).

 

Just to clarify, I was saying to copy the DevIL.dll from TD to TDM then delete TD.

 

I understood what you were saying. I deleted TD along with all the other FM mod folders that were created.

 

I'm gonna try backing up my maps and deleting it than reupdating. Thanks for the help
