To show there is no harm between TTLG and theDarkMod.

Sparhawk knows all about hacking, so I wouldn't put it past him that it's his fault...

I know the theory yes, But I never bothered to actually apply it, as it is mostly boring.

 

Bloody hell. I was getting really confused there as you guys were replying after my peace making replies. In that context it looks rather...

You know, when I first noticed that TTLG was down, one of my first thoughts was, that this is an amazing coincidence and wether somebody would raise such a point. ^_^

 

I guess it just couldn't handle the load because of all my double-postings. ;)

 

:laugh:

I KNEW you had a hidden agenda with those double postings spar!!

I could never understand the "double posting database load" issue. Surely the board software would not make a separate query for every single post in a thread, this would be prohibitively slow? I would expect it to do something like "SELECT * FROM posts WHERE thread_id=31672", where the actual number of posts returned is not important.

 

Also, since there are a limited number of posts per page, even if there are extra queries for each displayed post (to retrieve user name and location settings, for example), having double posts wouldn't actually increase the database load at all. I suppose if you make multiple posts you take up more "slots" on the page, which reduces the amount of conversation visible at one time, but this doesn't affect server load.

Yeah, but I do personally prefer to read everything someone says in a single post, so when the post is done I know that's what they had to say, instead of being surprised to see another post right after.

 

But I also know about the "respond to two or three posts above" thing, one at a time.

 

Is there some forum update possible to allow you to mark which posts you'd like to reply to, then hit reply and you get the quotes from them all, nicely laid out for you?

You can do it on this board. Sadly there is no such facility in the software TTLG uses.

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?
