  1. Thanks for the suggestions, I will likely try all of them.

     

    Ironmaning Sir Talbot's I realized what excellent training it is for a speed run. The more you die the better you memorize how to rapidly get back to where you left off. It becomes almost muscle memory as someone said in another thread.

    Eh you can train for any kind of speedrun. Find a good route, memorize it, and then do it fast over and over again.

  2. Not poorly educated maybe, but idiotic all the way. Even more so if they are publishing deliberately false and misleading info just to get sales.

    How is that idiotic if your goal is making money? If it works, it works. And it works, for reasons outlined in the this video:

    The problem with reddit

    being the turf wars over views and votes leads to a lot of gaming thread popularity so you often lose valuable content

    to reposts and nonsense.

    Also it's hard to find stuff that has been posted in the past because reddit's search function is shit. Not to mention terrible, terrible reddit culture. Pun threads galore.

    Good grief, really? Legal action against what exactly? Good engines for free? Markets evolve, and this is always met with resistance from the providers that refuse to adapt. Just look at the music industry in the 90's, labels fought to the death against digital distribution.

    Because the C4 engine is being developed by one guy and it's his main source of income?

  5. Please keep your dreams private to yourselfs, thank you.

     

    Because a dream is a mirror of your current mental feelings.

     

    You can analyze your dreams by recalling moments of your dreams and translating the symbols, on sites such as dreambible.com.

    For an example: in one of my "game" dreams, i was a pirate and saw Pirates.

    I don't disagree with the second sentence of your post, but I find the idea of universal dream interpretation to be laughable. Everyone is different and has his or her own particular "language". For instance, for some lifting weights might bring up the image of a stupid meathead on a roid rampage, but for me lifting weights is something to make you better. All strong guys I know are super nice people. If we dream about a weightroom with some dude lifting heavy weights, that might mean a different thing for you than it does for me.

    Also, as Obs has correctly noted above me - the A-Z is not the be all and end all of the knowledge that one will require over the course of building a mission.

    I get that, but the way setting up lights is described currently in the wiki is flat-out stupid in the current situation.

     

     

     

    It could be updated anyways, but I am not going to mess in others wiki articles.

    I find this to be a weird sentiment. The whole point of a wiki article is that anyone with permissions can edit and update it to better reflect current information. Overtime users are going to drop out of wiki editing, so this model allows others to keep wiki pages up to date. Articles with your name on it as author are better suited to a forum IMO. Wiki articles are supposed to be dynamic.

  7. Okay, so here's what I don't get. In Fidcal's A-Z guide, you are taught to create a torch model and then add the light to it. However, after adding these lights my map start crashing, so I removed them. Much to my surprise, the map is still well-lit! However, in the Darkradiant preview, everything's still pitch black. What is going on here? How can I modulate the light intensity from torches and the like?

  8. Service with proper security measures never store their passwords in plain text. They store their passwords hashed. A hash is a function that scrambles a string uniquely, meaning the same string always becomes the same scramble, and no two strings have the same scramble. So rather than sending the password to the server, you sent your scrambled password to the server, which then compares it to the scrambled password it has stored in its database, all the while never knowing your actual password. Then also you want each hashed password to be salted, which means it uses a piece of unique info (like the website name) to influence the hashing function, so that even if two different users have identical passwords, they end up with a different scramble.
