  1. Is that supposed to be portable?

     

    Wood has nothing to do with circulation. You just need to make sure you vent it properly.

     

    Sorry, I mean "bad dissipation", not "bad circulation". :)

     

    If you see this:

    The aluminium has a thermal conductivity coefficent of 250.

     

    The wood has a thermal conductivity coefficent of 0,17.

     

    this means that aluminum is about 1470 times better in dissipating the heat. :laugh:

    Good catch on the PSU. I figured the difference was mostly about size of the PSU. Am I mistaken about that? Am I going to run into compatability issues with my board? (z77) I should get the PSU and just about all the remaining pieces Monday or Tuesday. I already have the MB, memory, and wireless.

     

    On the description of thermaltake a30, there's written it is compatibility with a ps 2 psu (which should stand for standard atx).

    If it's true, i suggest this psu: corsair hx 650w. I suggest this psu for two reason: a very powerful psu for all configuration and because it is modular (http://en.wikipedia....wer_supply_unit).

    In a small case like this, it's required a modular psu for fewer wires possible within.

    Before you buy any psu, sure it's compatible with the case. :)

  2. Until ATI gets their drivers fixed in regards to Doom 3 and other games, I would suggest going with Nvidia for now. Why not spend the extra 100$ and get a GTX 560?

    160$ with rebate, that's a really f'in good deal man. And it would destroy 3 9800gts'

     

    Here's a good comparison:

    why do even this publicity smear against ati? I can understand the problems with Doom 3 (which is also "nvidia Certified"), but since 4850 has been released ati drivers have improved a lot.

    For example with my HD6870 The ONLY game that I've had problems was exact doom 3. The ONLY.

  3. Sorry, I somehow misready your post. Here is the explanation on why it is that way:

     

    The "descrption", "author" and "title in darkmod.txt MUST be in english - this is a bug in the code in TDM - the menu cannot display this text because it has only loaded the dictionary of the current (or no) FM, but the description would be different for each missions. To correctly display the text, the menu would need to load each FM dictionary in turn and switch the texts (after all str_20002 would be the same number but different contents for each missions). It simply does not do this yet.

     

    As or the notes, where do these appear? This is probably a different translation bug (but if they do appear in the menu, they they will be needed to be displayed in english, too, because of the same reason as the description).

     

    I do not know when I can fix these code bugs as it is not that easy and I am swamed with font and GUI work. Sorry.

     

    Ok. The important think is that it CAN be fixed and not WHEN it is fixed. :D

     

    However, the note show me the text: #str_20002.

    :unsure:

  4. Tels, i've already delete all fms folders. ;)

     

    I've tested all mission, even awaiting the storm downloaded now from bloodgate: http://www.bloodgate...m/pub/pk4/i18n/

     

     

     

     

    The description is in english and notes say: "#str_20002".

     

    Also knymed has the same problem.

     

    I've also checked the file, and actually i understand why i see it that way. the file content of darkmod.txt file is all in English and does not contain a written form # str_20001.

    Instead, the readme.txt file contains # str_20002. I think the "link" to the italian/english 20002 string file doesn't work.

  5. Ah, yes, I know why. Pandoras box contains a file airship.*, but the map file is written out as "pandora.map". Clearly, I need to fix this. Gimme some hours.

     

    Edit: Found and fixed, and I also suppressed the translation of "This is page X of your readable blah blah" :)

     

    Download the script (or the ZIP) from here again please: http://www.bloodgate...dm/pub/scripts/

     

    Ok, tels. Now the mission start, but i've found a lot of problem. (like the old days) :laugh:

     

    -Pandora's box and the parcel start, but I see them both completely in English (even though I selected menu in Italian).

    -I see mad mountain in Italian except for notes and description.

     

    -when I go to click on "notes" screen I always get the message "# str_20002" instead of notes.

    It like it not "redirect" to the file italian.lang (or english.lang).

  6. In personal opinion the dark mod is very, very heavy mod.

     

    I've played it with a good notebook: t9400, 4 gb ram ddr 2 800mhz, 9600gt 512m ram and in a lot of mission i have often 15-20 fps average (sometimes 12 fps). Meanwhile in doom 3 with highest detail i've 60 fps fixed.

     

    even with the PC Desktop: i5 760 3,5 ghz (quad core), 4 gb ram 1600 mhz 7-8-7-24, HD6870 i've sometimes 25-27 fps.

     

    So, knowing your card, i think you will have a lot of problem to play acceptably this game. :(

     

     

     

    ---------------------

    P.S. your other components not are so bad. So, if you change your card, for example with an economic HD5770, you can play a lot of games at high details. ;)
