Read the announcements - post in proper thread. I think Diedel's communication skills are not in question as he communicates just fine in other threads or when people pander to him, but the above line is all Diedel had to say on the Dell Dimension issue. While not a flame, it is a curt emotionless ...

SuperSheep

Ahhh. Diedel strikes again. Diedel tends to be a little anal about which particular thread people post in and tends to be very quick to anger. He is not an example of the people here. I'll take a stab at your laptop issue. Make sure you have the most up to date version of D2X-XL Update your video dr...

3: Continuity of existence. Most of the molecules in my body have been exchanged in the last few years, so I don't feel like I am who I am because of the physical material I am made out of. What if you completely duplicated the patterns in my brain (as Issac's theory suggests), but did it while I w...

1. Do quarks sing? 2. If not, how can electrons, protons, and neutrons sing? 3. If not, how can atoms sing? 4. If not, how can molecules sing? 5. If not, how can you sing? But we can sing, so reductio ad absurdum quarks can sing. Unless I'm misunderstanding your argument, this is textbook fallacy o...

I like where you're going Roidy but let's break it down even more. Your brain is a complex molecular structure. These molecules are composed of atoms. Atoms are composed of protons, electrons, and neutrons. These particles are composed of quarks. And so on... 1. Do quarks think? 2. If not, how can e...

I think Neumaennl has a good point. Textures should be compressed. It serves many purposes, not the least of which is HD thrashing. It makes little difference what format OGL uses in that you have to read the texture into memory and buffer it. You can very easily implement a decompressor and that wa...

SuperSheep

Why not use D3's texture format? You would have lossless compression, source code already available and plenty of converters. While it only supports 16 bit textures, the filesize is plenty small. For example, a 640x480 24-bit TGA sizes from 900KB to 175KB. OGF supports both 5.5.5.1 and 4.4.4.4 types...

When I plug the DSL modem into the phone jack and nothing else, I will get a steady DSL green light after a little while. If you don't have this, there may be a device on your phone line that is not filtered. Alarm system maybe? If you do get a steady green for the DSL then that part is good to go. ...

You could have a PSU that is out of whack, memory thats corrupted, components, cards not properly seated or bad. You could have short from yo...

Well...Since we're doing what if scenarios anyways, why not ask if there were oh, let's say, some exotic materials that existed, that the Romans knew about that they did use and let's say that they had especially short people that weighed nearly half or less that of a average male today. That would ...

SuperSheep

Sorry Roid. If only that were the case, things would be a lot easier. As Grendel said, those files are including as a reference. They are only header files and only enough .c and .cpp files to compile d3edit, not d3. To actually change the FOV, you'll have to use a HEX editor and actually search for...

SuperSheep

Actually, I was just talking about this with VonVulcan earlier today and it's funny that this particular effect was actually in D3 as well however it was not in effect when the fusion bug was still around. I can only guess that they either tried to emulate D1/2 fusion or it was a quick and dirty ban...

SuperSheep

The Russian page is talking about how to change the FOV by finding the hexadecmial floating point representation for the value 72.0. This was discussed some time ago by Patches and does indeed work. It is client side however without source code it would not be possible to change easily or with an ad...

Actually, it only takes one BP with rapidfire to crash me if I have weapon effects enabled. Haven't tried it with the new card, but I'm sure it's the same. code for optional fusionbug if FBF = 1 then call FBFIX() Apparently the tag causes unpredictable, chaotic behavior.[/quote] I inserted that int...

So, in other words, because you have the programming skills, you have the right to make unilateral gameplay changes? With that kind of attitude, my response is simple: Thanks for nothing! Go fly a kite. Take a long walk... off a short pier. Get lost. Stop "helping" I'll say it again: If y...

Perhaps a list of things that AC adds and fixes is in order... Bug fixes... 9. Name: Packet Forcing Bug AC has a limited ability to kick players for higher than normal packet rates.

DBB ate two rather lengthy posts, but I'll summarize... I said it once so I'll say it again so perhaps you can see it... I DO NOT VIEW TRICHORDING AS A BUG! Fusion bug is not in any way like trichording, but it is very much like the Omega frame rate bug. The Omega frame rate bug is... 1. Unpredictab...

SuperSheep

Don't let him fool you... He just doesn't want to make it 'optional' in any way. We had this discussion before he ever wrote code to "fix" the fusion bug. If he wrote the code in such a fashion that it would be a pain in the ass to change, he did it on purpose. He flat didn't want it to b...

SuperSheep

What part isn't correct? The odds of a fusion bug on a LAN with accurates are still dramatically lower then online. For one it is harder for lag to cause two ships to occupy the same location at the same time which is the primary trigger for the fusion bug, and because ships occupy much less space ...

What idiot would be flying in a 16 player indika on dialup? The processing is a comical, D3 can run on even a pentium 2 system and hold playable framerates, the dedicated server requires even less computing power. You could run 2 servers on one computer with 30 players each @ 1000 fps fusionbugging...

For the record, the SSAC doesn't always improve gameplay. There are some little annoying glitches that crop up.. EG: "Profight Inferno" has an insta-kick spawnpoint, etc. Friendly fire is fun, when you have good teammates. Key concept: good teammates. One frag-chucking nooblet can ruin th...

Diedel, Could you please provide specific instances where America has swung it's 600lb Gorilla weight around?

I saw the movie and have my doubts as well but I also learned that at least one thing in the movie is not as MM asserts.

I would also turn off the MDM (Machine Debug Manager) if it's running, and also turn off Help & Support service as it has a tendency to enable itself. Along with Windows Updates.

Good article. The only console I ever actually played was the original Nintendo NES. We have an XBox but hardly ever play it save a few titles.

Actually, Styker is correct. Ctrl-G is a hotkey for converting sub-objects to gunpoints. You can also right click in the treeview and select Convert To/Gunpoint. You must have more than one model in your OOF and the sub-objects you wish to convert to gunpoints must be a child of another object, and ...

I wouldn't even think of releasing what I have to anyone not trusted, however I wonder even how important that is at this point.

I know D3 is an old game and there really isn't much interest anymore, but I never worked on this stuff for that reason. One thing I don't like about game companies is when they just abandon their software and fail to release source code as in this case. In particular, I love playing a game called D...

AC is all server side at the moment. I had gave much thought to a client side addition but assuring that the client side isn't hacked would be nearly impossible. It doesn't sound like there would be any way short of re-writing the D3 executable itself to implement this. I may be willing to release t...
