00:02 <epsy> some late code from the 0.3 branch
00:02 <Monkey_arma> ruiner read that link of mine
00:02 <epsy> Monkey_arma, this is not the same thing
00:02 <epsy> Ruiner, does it happen with stable?
00:02 <Monkey_arma> ruiner, mine only happens sometimes...not most of the time
00:03 <Ruiner> right okay
00:04 <Ruiner> i got a
00:04 <Ruiner> geforce fx 5900xt
00:05 <Ruiner> oh shit
00:05 <epsy> ctrl + alt + supr
00:06 <Ruiner> but when a new 'scene' loads, like i die and a new round starts, i gotta do it again
00:06 <epsy> tell us how much ram your computer has and how much it is using
00:06 <Ruiner> the computer is fine
00:06 <Ruiner> whats supr?
00:06 <epsy> er, i meant del
00:07 <epsy> Ruiner, does the same happen with 0.2.8.2.1 ?
00:07 <Ruiner> nope
00:07 <epsy> right
00:07 <Ruiner> its happened to my friend as well
00:07 <Ruiner> he lives down the road
00:07 <Ruiner> he tried it on his other computer
00:07 <Ruiner> and it worked fine
00:07 <epsy> is he perhaps using the same kind of computer? :P
00:08 <Ruiner> yeah probably X)
00:08 <Ruiner> but its not a bad computer
00:08 <Ruiner> must be fixed somehow
00:08 <Ruiner> its just annoying
00:08 <Ruiner> do you use 0.2.8 or 0.3?
00:08 <epsy> own build from 0.3 branch
00:09 <epsy> did you try changing the font ?
00:09 <Ruiner> i couldnt figue out how
00:09 <epsy> pick a ttf font, put it in App data/armagetronad/textures/
00:09 <epsy> then set FONT_FILE to point to it
00:10 <Ruiner> where can i find ttf fonts?
00:10 <Ruiner> pardon my stupidity
00:10 <epsy> http://www.dafont.com/
00:10 <epsy> http://www.dafont.com/neuropol-x-free.font
00:10 <epsy> try this one
00:12 <Ruiner> which one should i replace?
00:12 <Ruiner> armagetronad or font
00:12 <epsy> don't replace anything
00:12 <epsy> you know where to find your user.cfg ?
00:13 <Ruiner> yeah
00:13 <epsy> go there
00:13 <epsy> go up one dir
00:13 <epsy> there you have the var dir, and perhaps a "textures" dir
00:13 <epsy> if there is not, create the textures dir
00:14 <epsy> then put the .ttf's in
00:14 <Ruiner> vars the hidden one right?
00:14 <epsy> probably
00:14 <Ruiner> give us a sec
00:14 <epsy> sure
00:15 <Ruiner> (ive moved my amragetron directory to a different hard-drive, so var has moved somewhere)
00:16 <Ruiner> should i move the ttfs from the other textures file in there too?
00:16 <epsy> maybe

00:31 <Ruiner> what does that mean ^
00:31 <epsy> Ruiner, it's the information about the video drivers

00:31 <Ruiner> damn
00:32 <Ruiner> this is gay
00:32 <epsy> this is FTGL!

00:33 <Ruiner> thanks for your help epsy
