Its a clone of the board game RISK, and its a whole hell of a lot of fun!  This website does a terrific job of setting the game up.  You can play with 2 minute turn limits for a quick game, or up to 72 hours if you only want to log in and make a move once a day over a period of weeks!  You can even play up to 3 games at once!  We really need to get some LM community games going on this

Word of warning:  Don't play public games.  Players tend to team up and go game to game letting each other win after annihilating the other opponents.  Not fun at all.

EDIT: Also, if you feel uncomfortable registering with your e-mail, just use a fake one, it doesn't verify!

ok so what just unzip the pk4 files into the \base folder?

D3 will find them ok? or do they still need to be in a .pk4 file?   :help:

[snapback]25284[/snapback]

Yes, extract them to /base and move or delete the original .pk4s.  If you want to play the game online, you'll need to put the .pk4s back.  This supposedly helps loading times and such.

Seth:

Change the extension to .zip

OR

open with winrar/winace/winzip

OR

go to Folder Options/file types and associate .pk4 with compressed (zipped) folder

There was said to be a coop mod out but it is really a CD key stealer so watch out.

[snapback]25176[/snapback]

Turned out to be false, the guy who made the mod accidentally packed his cd-key with the mod installer, so it overwrites your cd-key and says that its in use.

So far, its one of the greatest experiences ever.  However, I've only played the first few hours, so I'm sure it will eventually get to the point Bob had noticed (since he's always right).  Still, I can't stop ooooing and ahhhing at all the sexiness.

And Seth, thats quite horrible.

and the graphics made me think only one other thing... this would be a sweet engine for NS... i could just picture skulks coming out of the shadows and such... and most of the maps in doom 3 resemble ns maps anyway...

Too bad we all know everybody ups their gamma in NS anyway, to the point where they can see even in the corners where no light penetrates to find their opponent.

[snapback]24957[/snapback]

My gamma is default, personally.  And yes, it would be super sexy on Doom 3.

I very rarely pick my own team on lunix.  I just wait for everyone to join, and then pick the team with the fewest players, or if there's a bunch of people standing in the func_jointeam, I jump in earlier.  Simple as that :p

Still, I notice a stacking problem quite often and its really quite lame.  Come on guys, give yourself a challenge, join the underdogs. <_<

I really like this mod, but the two problems I see often are the quarry changing, and innocent killing arsehats, as mentioned.

Yes, I was running a server and had that exact problem, people killing randomly...only a...what...$3000 fine?  So even though there's 4 players in the negatives, I can't tell who got there by killing innocents, since there were others like me that had just gotten arrested and fined $230849023859 for having a rocket launcher.

I also think we'll see more reward for stalking properly once they fix the "quarry changed" BS.  Right now the only people that actually kill are the ones running around like mad, and then punching their quarry into a secluded room when they stumble across them.  Meanwhile, I've made myself look exactly like one of the NPC's, and am carefully watching my quarry from the corner of my eye when he switches. :angry:

General / What Server Would You Like?

« on: July 15, 2004, 02:56:10 AM »

YARRRRRR pirates vikings knights?

/me agrees.

PVK for the win!

Yay, now add your votes to the poll.

I voted PVK ... that mod is <3-tastic, but the one thing it lacks is a good community, which LM would provide.

I agree with Bob on RC2, damn rocket launcher ...  If the original RC works on steam, that wouldn't be so bad

In any event, I support the "mod of the week" idea.  Me, bob, and some other AHL players did this for a while.  It was VERY fun!  We must've tried 15+ mods before I showed them NS and we got hooked on it and destroyed our mod nights  From first-hand experience, its very fun and would keep the server real active(even when bad mods are played, usually people will give it a few days at least).

Go to manage bookmarks to arrange them in the way you want.

So far, I'm not finding firefox much better.  It doesn't let me use Microsoft Virtual Machine, which is WAY better than Sun Java.  At first it felt slower, but then I realised its because IE won't display alot of the webpage until most of it had downloaded.  FireFox was indeed faster.  Couple other annoying little things...meh, guess I'll keep it, BUT I'LL CONTINUE TO WHINE ABOUT IT! :angry:
