[quote] Carbon, just an FYI, but go ask the tide to stop -- once you can convince the tide to stop, maybe you'll stand a chance at getting Schod to be less of an ah--- er, less of a donkey. Maybe. [/quote] I understood that two months or so ago, Ron :)
[quote] you're naivite and blind following of illogical, far far left wing propoganda is beginning to rail on me. if you cannot keep a logical thought in your head for more than a few seconds you aren't worth debating with.

[quote] I've got a book idea...words.....[/quote] This is a pretty good idea, but alternate-history fiction doesn't seem to have a market anymore. Mormonism and Scientology are relatively small. :D
Sins Forums
It would be nice if developers using digital downloads embraced torrents - when speed grows instead of slows on high demand days (such as on launch days) you know you have a winner. Sins seems to work OK in this respect as well - run activate.exe and you're set, the data files aren't 'locked', so it'd be okay to distribute them over a public tracker. I have a terrible connection that gets maybe 100-200kb/s on really good http downloads, and can get up to 500kb/s or more using a well-seeded torre
[quote]2) certainly does not pay as well. you think these people were chain and whipped into working for 60c an hour? no, they thank god they get that much. in most cases.[/quote] Relativism doesn't really help when goods and services are way too expensive for these people anyway. Some move up to being middle-class but most of them continue working in crappy jobs their entire life just to sustain themselves. It seems it'll all work itself out though. In my view, completely fre
[quote] you really think the government can ever help the poor? that is rediculously idealistic and sad. the proof is in the pudding, look at Russia, and all those other easterneuropean countries. [/quote] We're not in the Cold War anymore. There are countries between America and Russia, and most of them are using quite the welfare state ideology. Seems to work pretty well for them too, as their people are some of the healthiest and happiest in th
[quote] And banning Scientology is just taking a step back to Nazism, in a way, since Hitler banned all Christianity but his own church, which fully supported anything he wanted, of course. This time it is just one kind of church they've banned--the question is where they will stop banning churches and other ideologies. [/quote] Scientology is not a church, it's a money-making scheme.
It's nearly the middle of December and the game ships in February. Do you honestly think this sort of thing is going to make it in?
I dunno if I'd want a place called 'Plain Games' giving the thumbs up to my project :p
can you place more than one sun in this version?
[quote] Ok, last thing I can think of: Did you have a material selected in the list? I'll have to add one selected by default I guess. Much more user friendly . [/quote] I didn't see anything in the materials box..?
[quote] Edit: Wow for some reason save seems to be completly non functional when I use the program that's been installed via the installer.. That's kind of embarassing, oh well, shouldn't be too hard to fix but I'll do to that tommorow night, it's kinda late now. [/quote] K. [quote] Oh yeah about the data thing, doesn't checking the data check box enable the browse button? Or do you mean having selected the texture you can't see it on the scree
I did. None of the three browse boxes work - clicking does nothing. The checkboxes work, however. edit: minor bug as well - the top of the window is offscreen when I boot it up, have to click the side and drag a bit to make a bit of the bar visible to drag it down. running 1440x900 res, so that's probably what's wrong edit2: also, saving the model as a .mesh doesn't output anything. have tried multiple times in many directories.
The data texture ... browse button thing doesn't work. I have a dds and a 3ds file ready to go, have imported the 3ds file, and can't import the dds.
I suspect the main mechanism would be punctures in lung tissue and eventual death from asphyxiation. Essentially, a frag grenade to your lungs.
[quote] Any religion that can't laugh at itself, is in serious need of help. [/quote] Zen Buddhism is pretty much based on mocking itself, killing the Buddha in the street and burning the statues and making fun of its own ko'ans and such. It's hilarious.
Yeah, we don't have any neutron bombs, they were all decommissioned - that was my point
If you're not having any shields you can convert the shield damage to "armor", make the hull the underlying "if this is breached people start getting sucked out the corridors", buff the armor and make it non-regenerative, and nerf the hull down to very little. This is what DoV is doing, and it's not only more realistic but encourages repair ships and more tactical use of your ships. May not be good for more macro-level mods, but for micro "every battle matters" mods it's awesome.
[quote] how come the united states has a nuke weapon that doesn't destroy infrastructure. but these future techies don't. [/quote] Uh..and what would that be?

[quote] lol, paint it transparent, think about htat for a sec [/quote] Wouldn't really work - there was a thread a while back showing that filling the channel with the 'transparency' texture only makes it look white and glowy like a ghost ship. Also, it'd most likely only work for you - unless there's some sort of autodownload thi
[quote] well then the plasma will do its damage, just more shotgun style [/quote] If it was scattered - no. Unless your hull is made of paper, only a smaller more dense blob of plasma would be enough to rip through a hull. Plasma is superheated gas - it will float around and disperse, and while it will conserve momentum minus friction, it won't be terribly useful just bouncing off the hull if it's not all in one package.
[quote] Plasma dissipates rapidly does it not? [/quote] not when you have a projectile in the middle with a magnetic field generator of course all the other ship would have to do is have magnetic plating or a giant electromagnet on the hull to weaken the field and poof your plasma is scattered all over.
[quote] 9) However the Forge Tools wont import from those formats. [/quote] whoa whoa whoa what?
[quote] and Nvidia does absolutely nothing about it thats F'in great and unfortunately something that is cheap for you guys costs me an arm and a leg. [/quote] Of course nvidia does nothing, you bought the cheapest card ever and want a 2007 game to run on it. 6600GTs are about $40 on eBay, that is not an "arm and a leg" - don't exaggerate.
