After an absence of many moons, I will be working on my maps again. The latest DR compiled properly and I can finally get back into mapping.

The AI didn't like my lift. I fixed it. Now the Captain is taking detours just to ride it.
-
2 or 3 AI use the lift in siegeshop.

I have a gaming pc again! Finally be able to play TDM again
there's a bunch of new missions-
Hurrah! Here's to new/upgraded machines.

New CPU is 2-core Pentium 3.2GHz cheapo... but it clocked to 4.3GHz without complaining. My system booted with no issues on the first try after moving my drives and gpu to new case, mobo, cpu, ram, and psu. Lots of games to test, but Unigine Valley tested rather nicely in ultra quality, as did lotro.
-
BTW, for the geeks among us, the NZXT Phantom 820 tower, in steel-grey, looks like a Cylon Raider. I'm talking the RDM BSG, not 1978. I'm naming it "Scar", and will show why soon

ssd drive*, not 'driver', obviously

Yes. The Courier, name rhymes with EdFex, did cover the damage (approx $1500). Even after spending an additional $220 to get it up and running, I think I still did alright. I am a bit disappointed with the dead ssd driver, but am looking more forward to getting an m.2 module, which the new mobo fully supports

Yeah. The eBay buyer received a damaged box. The nzxt case was fractured in several places. The cpu heatsink had sheared off the board, knocking out 2 polymer capacitors, which resulted in the fried cpu (and fried Samsung SSD too). At least the RAM modules, gf780,27" LED monitor, WDC 1TB black, and PSU were all good.

Yeah, it turned out to be fried. The original owner tried to run it after getting it back from the ebay buyer (after carrier had dropped the box).
So, to tide me over for a while, I got a cheap CPU. But it is working quite nicely so I'm not in a giant rush to replace the i7. Though I might do so after taxes are done...maybe

Nope, Pentium G3258 20th anniversary edition.

Next project... shrink the partitions on my 500GB system drive so I can clone those partitions to an 256GB SSD. Then to clone my old 750GB Seagate /home partition to an 1TB WDC Black drive (if it passes rigorous diagnostics first).

New mobo just arrived. MSI Z97 Gaming 3. If the used CPU (i7 4770) and RAM (32G 1600MHz) are good, this is going to be one interesting night.
I have an SSD drive and an 1TB WDC Black drive are waiting in the wings as well. GeForce GTX 780 is already working, but currently on 5 year old hardware. Tonight all that changes. Fingers Crossed. I'm Going In.-
Was set back a bit... The i7 CPU had been burnt (I bought someone's damaged gaming rig). I spent the other night troubleshooting the psu, case, mobo, RAM, heatsink and CPU. The CPU had been fried by by being turned on in the old damaged motherboard. Got a cheapie dual-core pentium on the way to tide me over until I can spend $$$ on an i7.

just got a call from the tech support scammers. I acted as if I was doing what they wanted, but I occasionally acted pissed because "my computer spontaneously turned off". Then they waited with me as I "started it" again.

I have an Mageia 4 laptop, skinned rather decently to look like Win7, including a few programs running in wine. I want to let one of them in to it via teamviewer and watch them try to use it. I'll tell them the infection rep[laced the windows start menu with some "k menu" and see what they say.

Got finally thief 1 running on mac! thanks to wine (playonemac) and newdark.
-
I just checked my T1, T1G, and T2 in wine. All now crash in wine (linux)
They worked about a year ago...need to investigate possible fixes.

A bot "cherisc1" continuously likes and dislikes a post I made long time ago. Very odd behaviour 8D

For me, it was one named 'pletcheraah', and another which disappeared from my ignore list (deleted account). It was happening daily in regards to the post from when the forums were upgraded.

So, there's a new tablet coming out called the "Mipad". Isn't that a bit like poking a bear with a stick? ... a very letigious bear at that!
-
Wow...what a very creative product name. LOL, yeah, they're looking to be mauled by that bear.

Vikings - I have just finished watching the 6th episode of 2 season. I can recommend the thing with no doubts

I've been enjoying it quite a bit.

Beta's from Springheel and Moonbo!?! Melan possibly having one shortly too? Gonna be one helluva spring!

I have one which should be ready in the fall.

Using a BSOD reader I get results in all directions, so does anyone have experience with hal.dll BSODs?
-
Sometimes... and I mean SOMETIMES, you can move the hal.dll file out of /system32/ (copy then delete), then copy it back in place. That sometimes fixes it. else, copy another same version hal.dll from another system. that also sometimes works.

Mapping tip 2: Ghost key. When you move an AI on different difficulty levels, don't forget to move objects bound to them.

..but it's fun to watch keys venture down hallways on their own

If you wanted to do cycles-3D rendering on your laptop, but it got to over 90 degrees C and you didn't have a cooling pad, how would YOU solve the problem? (answer below!)
-
If it's an HP, it might have thermal pad instead of paste on the GPU...possibly on the CPU itself. When re-greasing the CPU, you might consider putting a copper shim (also greased) to replace the thermal pad.
