I don't see much point in posting the patch information, as this is not the Zombi Panic forum, but then again, I also don't see why this would be "cluttering the forum" either.

 

I think the "cluttering" was because the information was needlessly duplicated. A link to the changelog would have been enough.

"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man." -- George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950)

 

"Remember: If the game lets you do it, it's not cheating." -- Xarax

Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you, Unstoppable. It certainly wasn't my intent to stop you from posting about things you enjoy. I just thought posting the entire 2-page changelog was a bit ... unnecessary, especially considering that a link would have been just as informative without filling up multiple screens.

-Hey! Thanks for the advice. I tried Insurgency and it truly is really good!

 

Why bother to buy new games that need a monster machine, when there are FREE commercial quality mods for older games? :blink:

 

Mainly because they don't take the time to properly optimize their maps and models. I bet if you spent the time to go through it, and take out everything that didn't need to be rendered, like rooftops, the back of models that you can never see ect ect you could increase the speed 1.5x

-Well, I don't complain since it runs perfectly on my older machine, so no "speed-boost" of 1.5x is required. And what comes into commercial games... Well, they want to get their money quickly, causing expedited publishing of the game. Afterwards they may fix the problems if the community complains enough. Battlefield 2 is a very sad example: initially it had a game server browser from hell and nowadays (when no updates are no longer expected) it is only horrendously crappy.

jdude - come play Insurgency and tell me that you give a crap about all that. If your machine can run HL2:EP2 then it will be fine. The only issue at all for me is lag, but that is rare and a different issue entirely.

 

I had an awesome run yesterday, street battling in doorways and behind cars. The AK47 is a bad mofo.

I want your brain... to make his heart... beat faster.

      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 ?
