  1. Didn't we have a download statistic or similar somewhere? A friend of mine asked how many people actually play tdm, so I wanted to show him some statistics. :-)

      and tell him that we dont have multiplayer and show him the stats of the tdm missions.

      Dem. How does the in game downloader work? Does it have its own server or does it choose a mirror at random? I think it would be cool if the admins would share their stats at some intervals. Maybe in the Internal Development forum, for both missions and downloading the game itself. :)

      I don't know. The source code is publicly available, so you could look it up if you're ok at deciphering code (usually not as hard as it sounds). As for the admins, I was thinking someone just PM them periodically to ask and then post the answer. It's just a matter of a big fan taking the initiative really.

  2. Final Fantasy 7 remake announced. Oh Joy! :-)

      FF7 was an average game.

      Well I should qualify that; by the time I played it, it had been out for years, and I didn't find anything about it that was great. Just meh.

      Is this going to be the version where Aerith doesn't die? (SPOILERS!)

  3. Finally got some more time again after a mammoth project at work. Time to get working on TDM again! :-)

      We are both in the same situation. Changed laptops as well. Been taking a few days to get a hold of all my WIPs I left lying around.

  4. Finally started Deus Ex: Mankind Divided the other day (after the Behemoth that was Witcher 3). So far, it is excellent as far as free exploration and oldschoolness is concerned. It feels like a return to the roots. Loving the shit out of it.

  5. Got a spare key for Magicka 2, a nice 4 player local-coop game, which is currently at 15 € on steam. Anyone want it for 5 €?

      I got the spare key from a bundle, just for you interest.

      Good for you! I am having myself Kindle DX and I am absolutely content with it. Always wanted an E-Ink one, I was afraid of those LCD screens, because they are, after all, LCD (didn´t want to stare at monitor all day).

  7. Haha, awesome!! I just have saved approximately 2000 € by finding an error in the back-payment calculations my government had sent me for my federal student support loan. :D Two hours of reading statute-books and calculating back and forth payed off wonderfully! =)

      I'm not sure where it came from, probably a viral marketing campaign, but there was a point on the internet where that saying seemed to come up quite often.

      Ah, right. Thanks! :) Well, I just don't have a multi monitor setup here, so I don't know what settings there actually are in the driverpanel. But I guess he'll figure it out himself.

  10. I guess Dortmund will win the Bundesliga once again... :->

      Bundesliga is like "butt off" in portuguese. I thought you'd like to know this precious knowledge :P

      haha nice! :D I wonder why my cousin didn't tell me about that. She speaks portugese because she married a guy from brasil and is living in Rio now. :)

  11. I haven't been around too much recently, but when I do look into the forums every so often, I am always amazed how much progress is being made on the mod. Great work people!

  12. I just orded a 55'' TV from LG for 2000 €, because a german consumer electronics store chain gives away every 33rd order for free. Whish me luck! :D

      Wait till this arrangement appears on Black Friday in the US. We'll see stampedes where folks are killed for the 1 in 33 chance for a free item rather than simply being killed for a reasonably good discount....

  15. I was at the IFA the last few days. Quantum Dot LCD is NOT the satisfaction we were promised by the display industry. OLED however still is and LG is increasing its portfolie. I think I'll wait until the next batch of OLED TV releases and then get me a nice new TV. :)

      Looking at getting either LG EF9500 HDR UHD OLED, or Panasonic CZ950 HDR UHD OLED, for my main monitor...Can't wait :)

    3. jaxa

      jaxa

      The darker blacks of High Dynamic Range (or OLED) make it relevant to The Dark Mod. 4K could be good for big laptops and desktop displays, and some companies claim the optimal resolution for VR is beyond 8K. As for TVs, OLED is thinner than other technologies, which could result in large and cheap displays eventually. The larger it is, the less pixel density, which means... 4K and 8K?

    4. STiFU

      STiFU

      Yeah, for computer monitors 4K makes sense, because you're a lot closer to the screen there relative to the display size.

  16. I was at the Mosel river in Cochem over the weekend. We visited the castle "Reichsburg Cochem" over there. It's an amazing place. Maybe I'll upload some picture of it in a few days. But here is an impression: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZfG-vjiisVY/U0eNWZ5FoAI/AAAAAAAAasQ/ypVi2QVutiY/s1600/reichsburg-cochem-germany-26115-1680x1050.jpg

      I had a great time in Rio too; years ago. The music, the beach, the sites, the sun. I remember playing No Woman No Cry (on request) on Copacabana beach at sunset with some random young guy singing along very emotionally. Interesting moment that goes beyond language.

      I've been meaning to visit that city ever since I first saw it as the stage for a great black comedy film called "In Bruges" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Bruges), - you might want to take a look. ;)

      Yeah, I know that movie. It's awesome! :) But Gent is really cooler than Brügge.

  21. Lesson of the day: Spawnargs are stored in the savegame, so adding a new spawnarg, don't expect it to show up when you load up a saved game. :-)

    1. STiFU

      STiFU

      It took me half an hour until I realized what was going wrong!! ^^

    2. demagogue

      demagogue

      You mean your re-load was reverting back before the new spawnarg was added? Yeah.

       

      (I first thought you re-loaded a game saved after the new spawnarg was added, but the saved spanwarg wasn't there like it should have been, which made your sentence very confusing.)

    3. stgatilov

      stgatilov

      Many years ago, savegame also had all "editor" spawnargs stored in them. They took most of the size of save files =)
