  1. I would love to see a mission where that happens
  2. ah, I searched this forum for "beta" duh, thanks again
  3. Thank you, where can I find the 2.08 beta ?
  4. Hi, yet another Linux user with a mismapped keyboard here. I'm running Zorin (ubuntu variant) on a Dell Precision T1700 with a Dell KB212B keyboard. If I look in the system settings app, under region & language it says it's a "English ( UK, extended, with Win keys). Selecting that & clicking on the keyboard icon at bottom right shows me the keyboard map & as I press keys they highlight on the display, and they all seem correct. When running TDM (TDM2.07/64) as a native Linux application I've noticed the following when trying to map actions All arrow keys in the cluster next to the numeric keypad = 0x00 Keypad enter key = down arrow Main keyboard right CTRL = pgdn There's probably a load more, if anyone can tell me a quick way of doing it I'll work through the entire keyboard if it's a help I tend to map a lot of keys onto the numeric keypad so it's a bit of a pain
  5. Thanks for that. Yeah I figured it was coming from the monitor, as if it can't display the output from the PC then it wouldn't be able to display any message from it too, but for those who just get a black screen & music this might help. And apologies for putting this thread in the wrong forum, thanks for shifting it, whoever it was
  6. Hi all, I just put the 64 bit version of TDM on my machine running Zorin 15.2, I figured it's based on Ubuntu so it should be OK When I ran thedarkmod.x64 I got the intro music playing & a black screen with a pop up saying - I couldn't stop TDM & had to blip the power button to get the system to shut down. So I dug around a bit on my old windows system that ran TDM on the same monitor & found the following lines in Darkmod.cfg seta r_customHeight "1080" seta r_customWidth "1920" on the Linux system they were seta r_customHeight "600" seta r_customWidth "800" So I changed the figures to match the old windows system & tried again & it worked the training mission loads nicely I couldn't find any setting for 60hz, but as it seems to work I'm fine So I'm posting this in case anyone else has a similar issue
  7. Here's a time line of earth's average temperature since the last glaciation, this is how the climate has changed, it may be a normal cycle but if it continues I doubt we'll survive this cycle https://xkcd.com/1732/ I would have posted the graphic but it's a bit big
  8. Personally I tend towards pastafarianism, all hail the great lord & his noodly appendages, but I'm not devout or anything
  9. Thank you, I may give that a try
  10. Is this a free standalone game like TDM is ?
  11. Magdalene laundries anyone ? Women made into slaves, often for the rest of their lives, mainly because they'd had sex, or were thought to have had sex, or were accused of having sex, or refused to have sex And then a lot of them were sexually abused by the priests, while being physically abused by the nuns, all of which is denied by the priests & nuns of course The last one was closed in October 1996
  12. It's possible to take out a big bot with a blackjack in T2, you need to get one to chase you into a confined area like a doorway, & stand so it can see you but it's projectiles are blocked & bounce away, then you lean in & whack it repeatedly with the BJ, eventually it sustains enough damage to fall apart
  13. Pay a lady of negotiable virtue to go & chat up a guard If there are two guards, have the 2nd one either get jealous & butt in or be a mate/be embarrassed & give them some space While they are distracted rob 'em blind or Pay LoNV as before, then go find the NPC's wife/girlfriend have them go & have an argument with LoNV, guards gather to watch, rob blind as before

    Merry Christmas

    Merry Christmas Eve, Eve And if I don't log on before then Merry Christmas
  15. Yep, every bit as good as the first 3 seasons
  16. Sorry I missed this, has it been 10 years already ? A good test for a quality product is how long it lasts, TDM is a quality product, a huge thank you to everyone who's contributed
  17. Are we talking puppet sex here, only Team America already scarred me for life on that ?
  18. The only issue I've had with L*nux installs is with L*nux identifying the variant of the Wifi card in a laptop, once that was sorted I never had further issues, updates just worked, the last update I had on a W10 tablet borked the touch screen and accelerometer so it won't auto rotate & I had to figure out how to break in & then fix the power settings in order to get the touch screen working again as it's kind of necessary on a tablet device, if I hadn't managed that it would be a brick, I had no say about the update it just happened And yeah I know it's not 'just' Microsoft, I know there are cameras everywhere, I know others use my data & I take steps to minimise my digital footprint, I might not be very successful but it's my data & I'll do what I want with it, that's my choice As I said it's a cheap laptop, with integrated video, it should be fine on my main machine, I'll check Wine out thanks
  19. I'm currently looking at migrating my systems ( couple of laptops & desktops ) to l*nux I've looked at a few distro's & Zorin looks reasonable, the front end isn't too much of a shock to a life long windows user for a start I've set it up on a couple of laptops, one dedicated & one dual boot which went without a hitch I even put TDM on it, runs like a drugged slug on the laptop but I'm impressed it runs at all as it's a really low spec machine I just use for testing, basically I'm ironing out any issues before I tackle my main machine as I earn a living with that one If anyone knows any major issues with Zorin (based on Ubuntu) please shout out Also I'm looking at the possibility of running the existing W7 installation inside a virtual machine & isolating it from the network, I'd really like to do it without reinstalling windows & just let W7 sort out the sudden disappearance of half it's resources, anyone know if that's doable ? I may just ditch W7 as I can't think of any apps I use under W7 that haven't got equivalents under l*nux, I'd quite like my thief installs to work but I can ask on ttlg for that
  20. Thanks for all the hard work taaaki ?
  21. Thanks for all the hard work getting the forum back for us
  22. You've probably already seen this one then
