What better for a light cycle than an unnatural look?

Well, network latency is still a valid concern... As for crazes, my server's been up and running for a couple of years now, with the same settings as the beginning, so it's hardly a craze for me.

This is a sound set I've done using rips from the Tron DVD. There are a lot of good sound sets out there, but I haven't come across any that really sound like a good replication of the actual movie. So I made a set. The engine, turn, and explosions sound high quality in my opinion. The sounds are p...

Those sounds (the ones I use) are found on the old add ons site.

I prefer a turn sound I half-created myself (out of an explosion sound). Sounds much more like the movie.

Autogrinding? Cheat!

Besides, Real Men™ play low-rubber!

Try my servers: Stormcrow's Tower, Stormcrow's Dungeon, and Desperation! They've been down for a couple of days because I wasn't paying attention, but they're back up now. Rubber = 1. The closer you are to New York City, the better your ping will be.

Aha, I got it. I used the floor textures from the Tron Sector Dark Blue moviepack, but kept everything else from the "old" moviepack.

I was watching an Armagetron video on YouTube, and I realized that the player's visuals are exactly what I've always wanted the game to look like. The walls look like the walls in the standard movie pack. But I can't get the grid on the floor so bright. The grid in the game is very dim. Can someone ...

Another thing to check: Dell laptops use Intel SpeedStep, which, when enabled, I've found tends to interfere with a number of applications, including first-person shooter games and Virtual PC. It makes these applications run at super-speed. Try going into the system setup and turning off SpeedStep. ...

On my servers I like to entice people into entering a tunnel, especially between my wall and the rim, then either closing to the wall or making them accelerate so that they can't stop from crashing into the rim at the corner.

Some people will fall for this over and over and over.

I tried to set the DISPLAY settings to a higher resolution but my choice has inadvertently made the game startup with the display rotated 90 degrees. I tried to reinstall the program - I went through the Windows XP Remove Program process with no luck. Any ideas? If you want to completely reset Arma...

I eventually found a good explosion sound and sped it up a lot. I've been using it for a long time now.

The file is attached if anyone wants it.

This is my desktop at work. It's running Windows XP Professional. It does not have theme software installed, just the ol' hacked uxtheme.dll file.

Oh! That's a key bit of information that doesn't seem to appear in the documentation (or does it?). Now I understand how it works.

I'll have to change my bot-deployment strategy now…

Nonono, I'm not talking about the AIs' IQ, I'm talking about their settings in aiplayers.cfg. I'm trying to control the order in which AIs appear. With SP_AUTO_AI set, the number of AIs will increase or decrease depending on your performance. I want the server to start with the easiest AI and add ha...
