  1. Ha! Those city watch folks are such pigs! I've been making a hugging/kissing animation. In my test a atdm:ai_citywatch works with a atdm:ai_whore. They hug and look all cute and when they stop the city watch says coldly: "move along!" and digs his nose. And wipes his nose on his coat! A true gentleman who knows how handle ladies! :D

      Add a drunk-falling-down-stairs animation to the guards and we'll be set.

      We'll have to have a comedy mission contest some day.

  3. Someone please remind me that the operative part of a "speed build" is the SPEED.

      That's why I made my crappy #2 mission, Samhain, in 3 weeks. It was a speed mission build.

  4. - Hey guys, does anyone know that this tutorial exists? sounds like it could be really useful to FM authors.

      OOohh... Now I'm thinking back to ideas I had for an functional catapult being used to break down a wall. That and an battering ram to beat down a gate.

  5. After being able to FINALLY experience TDM in the way it's meant to (high resolution with 16x AA and AF) and having a constant 60+ FPS... WOW I just have to say this game is so freakin' beautiful! and amazing! It's like a different game at these settings :D

      My poor gaming rig is so old now. I'll need to upgrade this year...I can hope anyway. No used parts have yet come through the shop which are better than what I already have. I really want to get away from this geforce 550ti and 800MHz RAM.

  6. I just dmapped my WIP, the haunted manor with real windows, and on my new PC I'm getting 60 FPS. However, on my old PC It drops down to 30 FPS in some parts which isn't good. I was thinking, should I just release two versions? One with real windows and one with fake windows for people whos system can't the real ones?

    1. PranQster

      IMHO, 30fps in Thief-style games is just fine if in certain areas (not the whole map, obviously, but parts of it).

  9. Ever have a file that won't open? I did. I wondered why. I ran "strings" on the file to see what data was inside and got nothing. Then I opened it with a hex editor and had a look... all zeros...? Its nice to have an OS that ships with useful tools like this by default.

  10. Received two electric shocks within five minutes yesterday. Yeehaa.

      I seriously doubt it 'worked', lol. Depends on the objective of the therapy I suppose.

  11. FEZ: Great indie game or pretentious nonsense? Should I buy it?

      I went with King Arthur's Gold instead. It seems pretty damn cool so far.

  12. So... is anybody making any scary missions for Halloween?

    1. PranQster

      PranQster

      I was going to, but siegeshop took up my time. Then I thought of upgrading my p.o.s. Samhain map, but decided to leave that quirky little mission alone. Next year, I suppose. Maybe an 'Garreth goes to Hel' type mission, inspired a bit by the game 'Rune', mixed with the strangeness of the "Constantine" mansion.

  13. Still in awe from Requiem :)

  14. Mapping... its surprisingly addictive! After you build something basic, you start thinking "What if I add on an area like this?"... and so you do it. Then you decide to tweak things and add some more...

  15. Didn't mapped for three weeks now. So guys, how do you motivate yourself?

    1. PranQster

      I do netflix marathons between mapping sessions. SAMCRO, BSG, BB, Firefly, etc.

      Obs... use CCleaner to remove all your temp files and turn off extra crap at windows startup.

      avg free is based on kaspersky code. Just do custom install and uncheck everything that can be unchecked, then turn off notifications in avg settings. Then it's a well behaved a.v.

      The same goes for Moneypack/geandarm/FBI hijack trojan, except done in safe mode with cmd prompt instead... run all from flash drive.

      Safe mode/networking: bleepingcomputer.com > rkill, RogueKiller, JRT, AdwCleaner, Combofix.... Follow up with Malwarebytes, then polish off with tweaking.com's AIO repair :)

  21. Too many ideas for FMs and not enough time to make them. Still, I suppose it's better than having no ideas for FMs.

      I often use a program called Basket Note Pad (linux) for organizing my ideas for missions. It can help a lot.

  22. Goes to update his install of 2.0 beta. Starts to get annoyed that it is taking over an hour to do. Scrolls up and notices he accidentally typed keep-kirrors and is now DOWNGRADING to 1.8 as a result. Woops! This is why you keep backups, folks. I can just retrieve it from my external HDD...

    1. PranQster

      Yeah... I did '--keep_mirrors' one night. Glad I caught it soon because it was getting from too many mirrors and too many files.

  23. I've finally found a way to create a trap, which reacts depending on the weight lying on it as well as forces applied. Will upload a video and a description soon.
