Stryker, I don't like levels where you can't get to the ball either. I would suggest changing the idea based around that. Also I thought it would be neat for multiple drop off points, thus creating a network of air tunnels under the map to return the ball to it's starting point. Or maybe even move i...

SkyNet

Liquid Fire,

I actually like that idea alot. I'd have to host an MB level like that.

SkyNet

Xamindar, Yeah, that's the error. Alan Cox say's it's a bad cable. So I'm going to attempt a replacement later, and see how it turns out. As for the Nvidia, I'll try some of those solutions, and hope for the best. There are alot of things I can do reguarding that though, as I've changed quite a few ...

SkyNet

Xamindar, Sorry for not being able to get my server up as soon as I'd like. I'm having alot of troubles converting to the 2.6.8.1 kernel. I've almost squared away all my problems. The only two left are a hda CRC error which from all the research I came across points to a faulty IDE cable. I believe ...

SkyNet

Xamindar, I can setup a Monsterball server for those who wish to play it, although for some reason the Linux server seems to crash at random points. So .... I'm wondering if it's something wrong with my current setup. I'm currently using the Linux client loki game with the -dedicated flag as the ser...

SkyNet

Okay, thank for your help.

SkyNet

I need help listing for all the trackers. Mind you, I'm a Linux dedicated server so I'm using a gamespy.cfg file that looks as such: 1 master0.gamespy.com:27900 1 tracker.kali.net:22999 1 tracker.descent.cx:27900 I would also like to be listed on Kquery, and All-Seeing Eye. If anyone could inform me...

SkyNet

Hey SkyNet, what's that server's address? Sence PXO went down I haven't played any D3 online because it takes too long to find a game (if there even are any anymore) that I can connect to without getting the "levels don't match" message. So, sence it's a linux dedicated server then I shou...

SkyNet

Just mentioning this. Quake III source code could go open source by end of 2005. Perhaps checking into its network code may provide better solutions for Descent 3 network code. Also I run a linux dedicated server, and have noticed that it randomly crashes with a Signal 11 after it prints a message a...

Mobius, Gooberman. Tell me something. If you perhaps have a daughter, and she was to be raped by someone. You would feel very nice knowning that the criminal now gets all the pleasures of life in jail? How about this. Someone manages to get my credit card information. They end up buying tens of thou...

Arch wrote: The only two chipset makers to even consider are Intel and Nvidia.

Those are your words. From my take on it, you basically said AMD isn't worth looking at. Once I again I state, you have no idea what you're talking about.

Testiculese, my VIA based boards haven't given me a problem either.

SkyNet

You know Ned, I didn't think about Blood samples with Microsoft, but that could actually happen. OMG!!!

I really hope desktop Linux usage kicks off so we can get the games over before that happens.

SkyNet

You had a driver problem with your ATI card, and thus conclude that ATI cards and nForce boards dont mix. You also make a blanket statement that Asus mobos dont support Linux. (hint: they do) I do not make blanket statements I am typing this on a Linux box based on an A7V133-C which is an Asus boar...

SkyNet

Arch, I really hate when other people feed someone BS. You don't have any idea what you are talking about. Except the RAM in which case you're right. Have a look at this , and tell me AMD is crap. As for VIA they are every bit as nice as nForce. It all depends on what the user wants. The performance...

SkyNet

Ned, Unlike what some other user has said VIA will be fine. If you ever plan to run an ATI video card then having an nForce board can sometimes lead to problems. I would also avoid Asus motherboards simply because Asus doesn't support Linux, and it's been proven that certain Asus technology doesn't ...

SkyNet

That's what happens when you design an entire OS on the premise of trying to come up with better stuff than Windows. I should have answered this too, but seem to have forgot. Anyway, Linux wasn't designed with the intention to compete with Windows. It was created in order to give the world a free U...

SkyNet

Sage, This is why we have a catch-22. If you're not going to run Linux, then what's the point in making games for it? Any Linux game that comes down the pipe will not be bought by you, and therefore the game publishers will find it un-profitable to produce Linux games. Jeff250, It's to bad that you ...

I have 3 machines. Two are Linux based. One of the Linux box's is a Server that does file operations for me. AKA it has extremely large HDDs from which I write files to, and retrieve files from all the time. The other Linux box is my Desktop computer which I use to post to this forum, and just do De...

D3IP would probably be very useful for us Linux crowd. If it worked for Linux that is.

SkyNet

Birdseye, I'm going to have to stop posting this political stuff. While I was typing that the other day I missed a bid on ebay, and I feel like "Open mouth insert foot" If I ever feel like talking about politics again, I've got a great idea. The Democrats have to look up all the good infor...

SkyNet

Interesting, rather than search john Kerry's voting record, you want me to say something bad about him. Here's the deal: I'll say something bad about Kerry if you'll actually research john kerry's voting record before denouncing him and his positions and respond with something of substance rather t...

SkyNet

Birdseye,

What's a bad thing you can say about Kerry?

SkyNet

why are you more inclined to believe Bush? Do you not think he would lie? To put it bluntly. Bush is a better lier? I'm more inclined to believe Bush mainly because he doesn't flip flop like Kerry. The trend I've noticed with Kerry is he chooses the winning side. Let me harp on Kerry just for one s...

SkyNet

I would be more inclined to believe Bush's story as it's like the lesser of two evils. I'm undecided on Bush. I haven't done enough research on my part yet to answer a yes or no.

SkyNet

DigiJo, Unlike here, where I'm at I don't get people for going off topic, but then my forums are not about political stuff, and if they are, then they are to goto the Rants & Flames section. That's a section that isn't really moderated because it's there to vent anger. However the rest of the bo...

SkyNet

Birdseye, I have already done my research on both parties. I feel no need to regurgitate what Kerry say's as this entire thread is pro Kerry. It's been done. For you Kerry lovers Ok, and to be semi-fair to Birdseye I'll put in a small beef with Bush, but I won't go into any large ones as this is alr...

I do not mean to offend anyone, but I mod forums, and IRC etc.. I think you seem to have alot of freedom here. 1. It's not your/our forums, it's theirs. I don't see you/me paying for it. 2. This means they can do with it what they want. In my IRC channel, I've banned entire countries from it's use, ...

The problem I have with Democrats is they take credit from others. Also the American people as a whole are very short sighted. They lose their focus so soon after events. When 9/11 happened, all everyone could think about was war. When they finally got what they wanted, about 3 months later they had...

SkyNet

Yeah, it really would have been great if one more had made it. Then it would have been 2v2, but even with 2v1 I had a great time. AceCombat, that Circut Breaker was really fun. It was really neat watching you ball in flames from the napalm. I admit though, if I had been the one I would have done not...

SkyNet

Ok, it looks as though the host has fallen through as he's not contacted me even though I've made attempts. He still has two hours, but I'll assume the worst. As it stands the current game IP will be: 68.119.200.195:2092 while Teamspeak will be: 68.119.200.195:8767 As always this information can be ...

SkyNet

Grendal,

Yes that would be great. If you can have it use the Infernal Bolt map. It'll be a back-up if we need it. Which could prove true.

I'll be in IRC to give you more details if you need them.

SkyNet

Another one bites the dust

Yes Suncho, Infernal Bolt does support Monsterball, and I thought it would be pretty fun to play because it looks like it will be hard to get the ball into each goal.

BTW I just realized that I spelled it wrong, but I have it corrected now.

SkyNet

Bettina, That's unfortunate that you might not be able to play on Wed. I really do want as many people to attend as possible save for the modem uers. I'll keep my fingers crossed for your arrival, but even if you're not able to make it, you can still join the teamspeak server, and chat with everyone.

SkyNet

Extending it to 12 is do-able. However at that point I may not be attending. I'm good upto 10. I've pretty much decided on all settings. The levels that will be played will be PowerHouse, Veins, Monsterball Arena, and Infernal Bolt. We will play each level for 1 hour. At the end of the hour, the tea...

SkyNet

Okay, so far it seems we have anywhere from 4-6 who will show up. I'm not totally sure how things are going to be organized yet. I'm thinking setting a time limit of an hour on each game, and whoever has the most scores by then wins. So for the allotted time that would allow for 2 games to be played...

SkyNet

Sirian, Thank you for the advice. I will keep it in mind. If things don't look good for a larger scale match then we'll setup several smaller teams for round based play. Each taking turns on the server. Things I hope shouldn't be to hard to coordinate since we'll be using both IRC, and Teamspeak. Be...
