Re: Battlezone II v1.3.6.5 Public Beta released

I think it's supposed to give the other factions the lookat order towards the player. Player's ship is objectified (painted) and it looks like his virtual team has changed. I don't think that the order is supposed to be given to the player, but it's being sent to the player anyways.

Re: Version 1.5.2.21 (2014-07-10): Loggalicious!

*looks around* seeing that Commando is not here right now, would it be possible to slide over to BZ2 while GSH is busy (okay, swamped) with lifekidswifeyworkfamilyhomebusinesswhatevers and add this to bz2? I'm just glad that bz2 multiplayer is in a reasonably sane state (most of the sub build kinks...

Re: Net Neutrality

Denial of service to the poor is the essential driving force of a competitive economy. That statement is absurd. there is no percentages to be had in denying services to the poor, especially in a competitive economy (as opposed to a monopolistic one). It's why electronics manufacturers, software de...

Re: Battlezone II v1.3.6.5 Public Beta released

Vearie brought up the players can spam "I need a ship!" repeatedly in games. Maybe a time out on player - player commands? Ah yes, the favorite tactic of newbies. Spam 'I need a ship!' to the com as rapidly as possible. Because clearly the com can't tell by your player icon that you're a ...

Re: Fixing UI Changes since 1.3.6.?

I'm reasonably certain that the original was Bank Gothic or some variant of it.

Re: 1.3.6.5 Public Beta

Been having some strange problems when tabbing back into the editor after alt-tabbing out for a minute or two. Many messages about lag and all world simulation stops, similar to being stuck waiting for gamestate. Can't move around in world due to all simulation being frozen, but can still place obje...

If the forum's built-in search is too restrictive/slow then Google may be your friend.

Re: Fixing UI Changes since 1.3.6.?

Another side note. I wonder if font hinting has changed between versions since the fonts do end up looking slightly different.

Re: Connecting to IRC

Never did like XChat. There's a superior fork of it called HexChat that looks to be slightly improved. Personally I use a client called Quassel that's cross-platform, the UI isnt as easy to grasp as most IRC clients though but it hits the spot on the functions I want. One IRC program that i've been ...

Re: Battlezone II v1.3.6.5 Public Beta released

It's most likely what Commando says. I'll ask ZA if VSR's shell files use any svars. Yes, it pretty much has to use svars to even function as intended. The current public release of VSR has host-usable buttons that load a config that sets various vars // VSR Strat Preset - Plus Recycler Variant w/ 1...

Re: SSDs and write endurance

When it comes to tech, I always assume the manufacturers big corners in order to come out with a product for people who are looking for the absolute cheapest thing. I don't mind paying 20% more than the cheapest thing to get something that performs 50% better or lasts 50% longer.

Re: 1.3.6.5 Public Beta

BZ2 has no issues running it out of program files (if it does, show me a use case). The only time it might is if you're using currently running 1.2 or a very old beta (e.g. PB3) on Windows Vista or newer.

Re: Battlezone II v1.3.6.5 Public Beta released

According to the DLL source it uses *spilo, not *suser. I don't know where the *suser ODFs are even used.
