Re: Talon
Well, fortunately you can choose your spawn point, and see what's going on there before you spawn; so you have fairly good tools to combat spawn camping. Also, the video shows gameplay from Capture & Hold mode, where spawn-killing is a valid and necessary tactic when trying to capture a control/...

Re: Talon
Thank you everybody for your support and interest in Talon. And special thanks to everyone who has helped me test the game and work out the bugs. At this point I am not seeking additional beta testers, but if you have not yet played the game do not despair, I will be releasing a free Demo very soon,...

Re: Talon
Hey guys! Sorry for the delay. I'm approving you for Beta access, check the Pilot's Lounge for the Beta Testing forum, you'll find further instructions there. I've been busy working on the next Beta version, which should be done this evening. I'd suggest holding off downloading until this new versio...

Wow, that definitely got my attention ! What do I need to do to sign up for testing ? :) Make yourself a user on forum.talongame.com, which I see you've already done, and I'll add you to the Beta Testers group, which I have done. So you're all set. Now head over to the Pilot's Lounge Beta Testing f...

Many, if not all of you are already aware of Talon, perhaps from the Cafe post which generated some lively discussion about the issue of trichording mechanics, but I wanted to make a more official announcement, now that I can post again (thank you Krom, Foil). For some years now I have been working ...
Re: Talon
It's like a D3 clone. It looks like they even have the stupid napalm cannon. Napalm cannon? No. That gun sucked. But there is a Napalm Rocket analog. Is it like a D3 clone? I'll let you decide. That was never my intent, but Descent pretty well shaped my idea of what a flight combat game should be, ...
Re: Talon
Hello DBB! It's nice to see Talon getting some attention. Talon is not Descent, it is not intended to be D4, but it is strongly inspired by Descent, and I do believe Descent fans will find much to like about it, but it also blends elements from other flight combat games. I like to think it has reaso...

Having the firewall allow FTP defeats many of the reasons to even use a firewall. Um. What? He's saying his firewall blocks outgoing ftp requests. Unless you want to run an ftp server, there's no reason to allow incoming ftp requests, but that doesn't mean you have to block all ftp activity. You sh...

Yeah, but I highly recommend making it Kubuntu instead. This coming from a long-time Windows user. Kubuntu is the first Linux distro I've seen which really made me feel comfortable.fliptw wrote:Krom, ubuntu is the distro you are looking for.

Actually, a better solution, if you really want to scroll just that text area, would probably be to replace the table layout with a more complicated frameset layout. Using a frameset, you could get the page to scale to fit the browser windows height, and allow the text to scroll within that. Well, I...

Although, in all honesty, I would choose to have the whole page scroll as it does now. Having a piece of the page scroll can be inconvenient, because you wind up having to scroll a page within a scrolling page if your browser isn't tall enough to fit the fixed height text field. This can get messy. ...

Also, in news.html, there are a number of <tr> tags that should be </tr> tags. These could confuse some browsers. Lines 85, 90, 95, 100, and 105 are wrong.

Ok, the biggest issue mucking up your design in IE is that IE considers whitespace characters to have height. Many of the horizontal bars in that design are created with table cells containing a spacer image. Problem is, as IE sees it, those cells also contain a text character (spaces/newlines). To ...

Err.. Ok. I'll take another look at the code. Figures IE would find a way to screw it up. It has no respect for the web standards. As for frames.. They're awkward when it comes to bookmarking pages, for one. Most browsers will only bookmark the frameset address, meaning anyone returning via a bookma...

Nah, either they aren't prey to a particular animal, and therefore ignored, or they're not eaten because the predator already ate. In many cases this is true, but it's too simple to apply to all animal behavior. Many species of animal frequently exhibit more complex behavioral patterns. Typically w...

He seems to view it as the opposite of reason -- as if it's unreasonable to have faith in anything. The way I read it, it simply says that one can't completely rely both on faith (belief absent reason) and completely on reason. If you employ both some faith and some reason, as most people do, then ...
