  1. The hair dryer thing was temporary, so at a wild guess when it's cold there's a dry joint with an intermittent or high resistance connection, raising the temperature with the hair dryer makes the everything expand slightly closing the connection hence the solid green, turning the PC on may even keep the temperature high enough in the PSU to keep the fault from recurring but as soon as it's turned off and goes cold it'll fail again.
  2. Nice mission, had a few issues but lots a fun --EDIT-- Scratch that as you've updated the file
  3. Holy sh*t we landed on a comet
  4. Personally I'm not seeing it as a problem but I'm a long time thief player, I acknowledge that newbies to TDM can have a hard time figuring things out hence my request that any implementation be made optional
  5. Anyone care to share their experience of setting up & using PGP or TOR for us newbies ?
  6. My only thought, for me it's fine as it is, if this is implemented can it be made optional so those of us who don't want it don't have to have it
  7. I find the special bbcode thing inserts html codes for < br > & < p >, easier to add [ spoiler ] [ /spoiler ] tags
  8. Very good, nicely creepy atmosphere without being completely OTT A very minor point
  9. Buying objectives, now that's an interesting idea, looks good too

    Android

    I know companies that still use Windows 95, a few years back there was one still using DOS because their payroll was done using Lotus, not sure if they are still operating though
  12. You could add esoteric sensors for just about anything you like, infra red interface modules, bigger batteries, more ram, better cameras, my personal favourite would be a full size slide out keyboard
  13. Out of those I only really use the browser & the default one is pretty basic in my phone, from the quick skim I jut did it looks like I can use the play store so I could always use Firefox instead. Thanks for the info, I think I'll be giving this a hard look.
  14. Don't they run on top of the android system that's already there though ? or do they completely replace the firmware in the phone ? --EDIT-- DUH! this is on the web isn't it, I can go look for myself, sorry
  15. What would be nice would be if we could get this as a kit, with an open source operating system we compile ourselves, so we know exactly what's on it and what it's doing, they can keep their apps I want my phone to do what I want, nothing more and nothing less. I want the ability to completely wipe and restore my phone with a different OS if I want just like I can with my PC. I want the ability to back my phone up just like I can with my PC. In short I want a PC that can make phone calls rather than a phone that runs prepackaged apps. Never going to happen though
  16. There's a raised wall around a flooded bit at the start of the bonehoard, in T1 if you stand on that zombies will throw stuff at you, in T2/newdark they mill about trying to find a way to reach you but can't
  17. One thing you need to be aware of, the AI behaviour is hard coded into the engine and there's different behaviour between the original T1 Darkengine and the T2 Darkengine. Newdark behaves like the T2 Darkengine. It's a minor thing, for example in the original T1 zombies has a ranged attack where they would throw bits of goo at you if you were out of range, in newdark they this is missing, there may be other slight differences but this is one I noticed
  18. Nice, can we get a firefox OS on it ? & a keyboard would be nice - I'm a luddite who hates typing on screen, sue me
  19. Happy Anniversary & many many thanks
  20. Addams not adams please
  21. Damn straight, don't you dare!
  22. Saw this at the top of the pile and just for a second I had my heart in my mouth. Don't spoil it by rushing, I'd rather wait another couple of years and play a gem
  23. I check every door, regardless of handles. if cant find a way to make it react by either frobbing or a switch I ignore it from then on. In the original thief I would use a blackjack to make sure something wasn't an object by hitting it, if it made a sound it was an object if it didn't it was a texture applied to a brush, I found a lot of secret doors like that. It's part of the fun.
  24. One thing I do if an ad server is becoming particularly annoying is I track down the URL where the ad is coming from and add it to my hosts file Like so ... 127.0.0.1 ad.uk.doubleclick.net 127.0.0.1 ad.doubleclick.net 127.0.0.1 googleads.g.doubleclick.net ... One or two sites will stop working altogether if you do this as the ad site feeds back to them before proceeding, for those I use adblock & privacy badger Takes a little effort but 90% of adverts & tracking cookies never make it to my machine because I don't get to the site they come from. Also if you have spybot you'll probably find a few thousand entries are already in the hosts file
  25. That tree looks like it's been lifted from Avatar
