For full effectiveness you need to get banned from LM, start IRC drama, get banned from there, start forum drama, get banned from the community, then come back and say lol prank'd.

This has potential for hilarity. If only we can still remember it in a couple months.

Off Topic / CPU Fan issue

« on: January 14, 2005, 06:54:41 PM »

The fan rpms come through the central wire on a three wire fan connector. Check your wires. My fan uses a regular drive-size power connector, but there's a seperate wire coming off of it that plugs to the mobo just to send rpm info. Mayhap this is your problem, good sirrah?

Edit: At least, I think it's the middle wire... may be one on the side now that I think of it. Anyway, does your connector have THREE wires? HMMMM?

Because I know lf isn't always fond of happy birthday threads, I am instead wishing everyone else in the community a happy lolfighter day!

Additional thought: This is hardly peak time. If I'm unlucky, pings will skyrocket during the week.

I don't know, maybe having unplayable times will help. Don't want to go down the same road you went down last time, that's how we lost you from the game once already.

So many ifs and maybes. I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed for you, old chap. Having you around the server again would be simply great.

Upon entering a new room, roll a 6 sided die and consult the following chart:

1 - An imp pops out of a hidden wall and attacks you!
2 - An imp pops out of a hidden wall and attacks you!
3 - An imp pops out of a hidden wall and attacks you!
4 - An imp pops out of a hidden wall and attacks you!

I have honestly looked at sunsets before and thought 'wow, I've got to download that skybox'. Right before pummeling myself into submission with any available blunt object.

God wins at mapping. If only we could get him to work for NS.

Off Topic / You want this HL2 mod

« on: December 28, 2004, 09:45:45 PM »

this looks like fun...

do you like, freeze the ragdoll in the air or something?

Pretty much. It's got the physgun code, which was in the original plans for hl2 but was scrapped. You might remember it from the e3 physics demo movie. There's another mod called jbmod that does the old implementation of the physics gun, where you can pick stuff up and move it around and also use the alt fire to weld things together, albeit with some difficulty. Garry's mod foregoes that and switches the crossbow to a welding gun. Shoot one thing, shoot another, they're welded. This lets you create big neat objects out of lots of physics props.

But the physgun has been changed in Garry's mod to allow to you move things around and then freeze them in place with the alt fire. With ragdolls, you can manipulate each individual bit of the skeleton, and then freeze them, allowing you to make all sorts of neat little dioramas. The pics I've got only represent about five minutes of work, with some effort one could create something truly amazing.

By the way, this mod was invented by a chap named (surprise) Garry, a Something Awful forums member. Credit where credit is due! (And you thought SA was only good for photoshops and goatse references)

This doesn't really fit in HL2 spoilers and I wanted everyone to see it, so here you go. If someone sees a reason to move it, go ahead. I don't have to worry about those hard moderation decisions here.  <3

Now, go get garry's mod for hl2. It allows you to just generally fool around with things... eh, it would take too long to explain.

Just check these out:

Oh noes barney, look out!

Kleiner fulfills his dream of becoming a ballerina.

Alyx does... something. Hell I don't know.

Anyway, go get the mod. It's funcakes. You'll want this map too: http://www.pcgamemods.com/9009/ Remember to put it in the maps folder for garry's mod. Now post your amazing screenshots.

Edit: Map's not really needed anymore, gmod now includes a neat construct map to play around in, with a spawner for almost every ragdoll in the game. But the buildingblocks map has more interesting terrain, so go with whichever makes you happy.

General / Beta 6 changelog

« on: December 24, 2004, 06:51:46 PM »

30% is pretty visible. And once you know they have cloakers, you start really watching for it. I still tend to think it might be a bit off, but that's what wide scale testing is for. Most of the PT input on SC changes (just increase the radius of chamber range cloaking and make it nearly impossible to accidentally uncloak as long as walk is held) was shot down. So now we have what we have. If it ruins the game, post long threads with tons of replies on the forums (whenever they come back up) and something will probably happen.
