FIIIINNNISH ITTT.... And not just because I'm part-Finn. :) That is.. awesome. Yeah, the pirates are a bit overacted, but if memory serves those are the actual parts fromt he Privateer speech files. The graphics alone are great, even if shaky-cam and shock-cam are slightly overused or...

Great idea, but it brings out how *huge* the WC1 fighters are relative to the ships by the given size. An interesting alternate project would be to scale the ifghters to the humans in the cutscenes and figure out how large they "look".

Gotta be nimble to catch them eels. I live in Alaska, so it wouldn't have been possible, but I'm moving soon so I may soon be able to Live the Dream. Wish me luck.

Actually, the notion of "aliens have families and lives too" is not necessarily accurate. Kilrathi are raised for battle and the probability of an early, violent death - their culture glorifies this, and while there are exceptions (Jukaga et. al.) it seems that the average cannon fodder...

Earlier this thread, there was a mention of significant modification to the Hades-class hulls (by LOAF, if memory serves). Could you bring these to mind? "Strike" carriers/carriers with heavy weapons tend to not be irrational. During WW2, the 5-inch deck guns on the Essex ships were used to...

HL2... I've only played the demo, but (when I'm not, you know, broke anymore) I'm hoping to have the full game soon. DooM3 on the other hand... was exactly what I expected, but might have been more accuraty named DooM3D. No great plot (hey, like DooM1!), Mediocre character interaction. It...

No killings, right. Are severe beatings okay? That, and if there's a gun-convergance issue with the Raptor... this might be a good reason to learn proper rolling technique or even rapid gun-switching... hmm. About what range are the guns set to converge? (I've been playing through a lot of...

The only thing that I see as fanboyish with Spritplumber's backstory is the "magically compatible" Raptor+Scimitar bastardization. If you want to create a solid link you could make it anything from one of the ships that predated the Scim and the Rapier, as per Lynx's original idea, or you could...

dark doesn't mean enjoyable, but there are many, many workarounds for the lighting (duct tape!). I personally prefer the unmodded version, partially because the computer I was using at the time sorta rolled over and died in the large, well-lit areas. re: gravguns... I think it's been...

There's a workaround that I've been using for a while called Pen and Paper. Unfortunately not freeware, but there are enough people with a copy that you should be able to borrow one, or if everyone you know is stingy the licensing is only a few dollars, often less if you get a student edition.

Milspec vs. Tarsus, I flippin hope the milspec wins. It seems like there should be some way to dodge the cops other than run or kill, though. Lesson #1: don't run Brilliance with subpar equipment? Also, are relations changed by # of shots hitting the target, or by the # of kills? If kills...

Rend away, I'm not complaining. :)

1. Cool, Blender seems to treat Extrude like your Bevel then. 3. I think we're on two different tracks as far as "solid" goes... im going to fire up a trial copy of 3DS over the weekend and take a look at models. If you'd like to provide a couple different example meshes to try and clarify...

Your problem is likely the graphics card, yea... what little I can find indicates that one of the more rare and picky cards. On the upside, www.omegadrivers.net should be able to get you going again - I think they've got one driver bundle, just pick your OS and go. Alternately, just get the...

-What is the difference between beveling and extrude/scale? -Does leaving an open mesh (by deleting the end caps) affect how a model will be accepted into a game? -When modeling, if you take the time to *efficiently* connect all your parts together into one mesh, are there any problems or...

well, in WC3/4 for the first time your enemies *have* a lot of decoys. It's also dependent on the skill of your target - Flash will leave a string of decoys several kilometers long when you duel against him, and some of the more viscious ace-level enemies will do the same.

No, there's other stuff in the files that I havent found in the game yet. :) I think I know all the RF goodies.

Potential: limit it to privateering, but keep the original sense of the word here - people given letters of marquis by their government to go kill (legally) - and who were often well-funded and could even have fleets. Five or six people could organize together, with one handling the finances...

Actually I don't think there's a problem with the Demons in and of themselves, but the corkscrew maneuver seems to be the saving grace of all lighter ships (the Cent and the Gothri don't have enough acceleration to pull it off properly). If there was some way to accurately target a corkscrewer...

I've not played RF before, and I've only got a little free time left on my break before I have to put the Remake away for a while. Got an eyeful of some of the neat little inclusions you put in but I'm so far unable to find them. I just finished Privateer classic, and I don't remember all that...
