from memory, this is what I remember showhelion doing. he is gold. the blue wall was present before he started his manouvre IIRC. I am not 100% cartain that this is exactly correct, but it illustrates the problem as I see it. I have drawn the gold line inside and outside, mainly because I am not sur...

z-man - can you give us (me?) a lowdown on this "misprediction" problem? Many times it happens and is really annoying. At least If I know when my client may be lying to me I can predict it, or at least not be so surprised! It seems to happen when you grind the OUTSIDE of a tunnel, and then...

I am trying to resurrect a server I was working on prior to a distro upgrade and am having a somewhat strange problem. The server seems to start, but when I try to connect through the LAN, nothing is there in the browser. Custon connect also fails. So, I try telnet to the server (not expecting anyth...

You could make even more profit Luci. That sounds like just the sort of thing Sab would pay good money for

I assume you are running windows. tbh I don't know the reason for posting links to gcc and VC++ versions, but I am pretty sure that from the users point of view there is no difference. Download either, and if it works, all is good. If it does't, try the other :) I am sure that either one will be ok ...

Thanks nemo - done!

You have very strange taste in vehicles Sab.

source can be downloaded from the download page I think (maybe you need to follow the further link to the betas, it is certainly there).

You have to compilke the patched source yourself.

that's pretty much the idea, but I think a straight 180 would be easier than trying to loop back as you describe. Apologies for reinventing the wheel, but there is an awful lot of info to take in from your posts. Perhaps it would be helpful to put a quick quiz at the end, to make sure that everyone ...

Maybe this is worth trying? Center guy between two DGers is pretty much doomed - maybe he can get through the tunnel into the enemy zone, or maybe he can wiggle about in the center long enough to escape, but in general he will die an early death. SO Why not use centre guy as goalkeeper? just before ...

Im not sure I agree with your views on referees. In my mind, the whole point of a referee is to provide an impartial arbitration over disputes, which players are generally likely to agree with *because* of the impartiality. Nominating a referee from either playing side (active or not) would not reso...

Could this be resolved using a 2 poly model?

Don't let it get you down, your time will come. Meantime don't try too hard, nothing cripples your chances more than the stench of desperation.

I am still struggling with the concept despite reading this thread every day. Would the runners be able to kill cycles? I guess yes. would cycles be able to kill runners? I guess no. so why have cycles? I love FPS and I love tron, but then I love steak, and I love custard, but steak and custard? I t...
