Ahhh, -4hrs cool, bit of a misunderstanding sorry. That would be easier and as i have a hospital appointment late in the morning i dont need to get up for work! I've played other games across the atlantic a few times. Several years ago latency was around 250-300ms on fps games like...

4am gmt ouch, you know i'd actually have an early night for this. used to love split screen play with my cousin, but never knew how to setup networking in native ms dos (still not sure now but think i could do it), so never played full screen vs people. If i can prise myself out of bed at that...

Link is bwoken :(

Strange, they were there on sat :( Cool intro there, lovin the attention to detail and keeping it in line with the original. Agreeing with the asteroid thing. Although its very retro in-game privateer, having them just pop-in doesnt seem right. If you can spare the time for a little...

I spent a short while trying to work out what ship he was fighting because I didn't recognise the target screen. Now I can see its a Talon and its actually the intro sequence. The Talon being upside down on the target screen compared to in-game. **edit Should have looked at the radar/shield...

I had a similar problem with the mission you chase after Flint when she goes off on one. You need to go through about 3 nav points before you come to the nav with Flint and a Kilrathi Flalthi II. I found this mission quite hard, I was either so damaged by nav 4 that the cruiser took me out, or...

Do FF's work like this in Privateer? I could never get them to lock to a target unless LOCK was on, and they would always go for the locked target and never the nearest target. I just use IR's all the time. Cheaper then FF's and do the same damage. Bit of an error making dumbfires and...

The passes are rendered in single 128bit.exr images. Fusion reads the Scene####.exr and automatically imports all images in order. No, straight-to-avi I only use for doing low resolution test renders to make sure things go alright. From the start, I realised if I did 240frames...

Yeah ive come across that a couple of times. But thats the good thing about doing it in passes, hopfully the glitch only affects the one pass. Just bought myself 2gb of ram as 1gb just isnt cutting it. it cant even load steam/TF2 without using swap files now. Just wish I had a 4ram slot mobo...

Well, thats done now. All10 seconds of it. Wow, 4 days to do 10 seconds of CGI. Damn I need a render farm!

I was thinking, playing Arena. but i'll go enjoy the manual.

VDM sound is amazing. Unless you have an ATI card when your svga graphics colours screwup. Have to play in VGA mode. However,fortunately my ATI card screwed up so I had a reason to buy an nvidia which playes everything better, even those games "Designed for ATI" and problem solved. Think I...

I love the look of most of the ships in arena, especially the Arrow scout. The problem with the other WC games is the engine couldnt handle high poly models, so they did the best they could with textures and resources available. Now technology has improved so much since prophecy, omg 10 years...

Nice. Anyone got a spare x-box? =]

Glad they got class names now. I'd be interested to see the source for this though. Untill recently, WC3 destroyers didn't have an official class name, now they are Southampton Class. Also, I was under the assumption that the Victory was a Ranger class ship, now its a Yorktown. What...

"I been with the Victory most of my career, I was the science officer durin her maiden voyage" Strange really, I havnt seen any sort of reference to a Yorktown class prior to WC3. But then again, after privateer and armada, i was straight onto WC3. Missed 1 and 2.

As with my original, i'm going to be using the WC IV intro music, so you can guage how long its going to be in total. The first 36 seconds is going to consist of the origin logo I ripped from my WCIV DVD and converted from 30fps to 24fps, and model/technique credits. The first few scenes after...

Well I finally began rendering of the 2nd half of my original scene on saturday night. Its now tuesday morning and its still going strong. I estimate it should be finished by tomorrow (I hope!). Once thats finished I can composite all the passes and begin on the 1st half which, now I already...

Would be funny. My laser goes 20000kps and does 9999999 damage! RAWR! Post your finding, would be cool to know although im sure hcl said to me there is some sort of checking done for consistency, not too sure about that so dont quote me :P

Although I never played WC2 (Or WC1 for that matter) The Confederation class design (as flawed as it is) has always been a favourite of mine. The shape just seems to flow, it almost looks like what I would imagine to be a space carrier of our future should we get that far, and you have done it...
