  1. Sometimes I think the future of the mod is more fragile than people realize.

      Also, about the campaign - like the core mod team, we are also a small group, stretched too thin and partly burned out. People may assume we can just release something like T2X in a short while - not going to happen. This is too small as a community to build a new T2X.

      Also, this should probably be a thread by now.

      Nah, those games have none. And batman doesn't kill his enemies, he just beats them up and breaks their bones. But doesn't kill.

      Predator? That's an inappropriate play-style for a THIEF game. Then again, this really isn't a THIEF game.

      Here again, the killing is dressed-up attractive.

  3. Still bugs to work out, but 1.08 is so good the dev team doesn't want to play missions with the release build anymore.

      The change-log doesn't even list much of Serpertine's engine work like adding LATC compression, etc...

    3. MoroseTroll

      MoroseTroll

      Does it mean that LATC will become a standard of normal compression in TDM?

    4. nbohr1more

      nbohr1more

      There was a demo build with LATC2 so it's "likely"...

  4. Tested 35 missions in standalone so far. 17 of them are now complete or nearly complete.

      Sorry for your loss.

      Putting down your pet is hard, but watching it dying in suffering is way more traumatic.

       

      From other side my cat had serious kidney dysfunction and needed drip every few days -but against veterinarian's prognosis my cat had recovered. So it can be hard to decide when to give up.

      At least you were there to let her know that it was time for her to move on...I've been in the same position. Not one I like to revisit often. I did however make audio recordings of the animal while she was still alive so she lives on digitally forever.

  8. Worst flu I've had in years....

      Best thing you can do is to stop living in a clean-room. stop lysoling your house. Eat something that fell on the floor every once in a while. I've worked on an organic farm, and farmers have some of the dirtiest jobs around, and they NEVER get sick. The farmer I worked for once ate something that fell on a floor covered in chicken crap right in front of me. He's never missed a day of work. and STOP vaccinating.

      @ Goli: ironically enough this is very true. Our modern world is far too sanitised and are imune systems dont have the chance to build up a tolerance towards germs. Well at least thats my erxcuse for having a messy flat.

      My mother grew up on a farm. Farmers get sick like anyone else, they just don't have the luxury of missing work to get better.

      Same thing happened here 3 times in a row! The first day warm enough for no coat, next day snow, 2 weeks to warm up again, repeat two more times.

      Now that you mention it, today might have be a 4th time, first day warm again this morning, very cold again tonight. But no snow, just cold rain this time.

      get ultimate boor cd and run Memtest_x86, Like Biker said. Then also run the hdd diagnostics from that disk (Seatools 2.xx is a good one but try to match hard drive manufacturer).

      May just have to do that, as I had a BSOD last night. Don't want to get distracted from standalone stuff though, so I'm trying to live with it for now.

      Thief editing in general is winding down. That not enough people have transitioned to TDM instead of dropping out - that's the disappointment.

      Well, don't get too excited yet...that's only one mission of 60. :)

      One mission of 60, sure, but remember that every one you down out of Chalice is out of any other map, too.

      Also, even being able to play one or few FMs totally standalone without glitch will still be a pretty cool milestone.

  22. Apparently Iz Quierda (the latest incarnation of Aidakeely/Aprilsister/etc) hit his inevitable raving lunatic level again. Banned. Anyone want to take bets on his next name?

      He's a douche, that's about it. Worse than Shadowhide, at least that guy contributed to the mod in some way. Aprilister just tells everyone that they're wrong and to go fuck themselves.

      I haven't been active for quite some time, so I might have missed some of his nicks inbetween. Not that it matters. However, he actually has quite a well-sounding voice, so at least for the audio department it's some kind of loss.

  24. It's that time of year where I start checking the forecast obsessively. I think I need spring.
