not bad... made from a SS, seeker? just out of curiosity, have you tried the .ASF model (tron-style) as your bike?

Seeker · Post by **Seeker** » Thu Feb 19, 2004 2:20 am

Yea, its a quick ss, cropped with a lil text. Primitive, but it works, and it was quick.

Nicolas.b, .asf file? from where? I havent played with graphics in quite a while, so i dont remember the extention. Hell, it took me a while juist to find my copy of photoshop 7!!!

havent installed it in about 9 months.

BTW, im workin on a 3D model or the bike in Bryce5, ill post a pic when I get it sorted out. (sometime after i finish my web site

)

well, the .ASF file was the beautiful 3D-modelled bike that someone designed for 'army'. it looks great but costs a lot of CPU cycles, so most people will probably only use it for taking SS's. AFAI remember it's included in the movie pack at manuel's site, but if it's not i can try to track it down. you just include it in your 'army' subfolders and it gets automatically used when in movie mode.

the look on the rats face acutally epitimizes what we must look like in those really intense moments when all is good with the world as we kill...

That's the look on my face when somebody pulls a 180 on me, core dumping me before I can react. Bastards.

180s are pretty cheap so i stopped using em and i stay away from teh outerwall

Majination · Post by **Majination** » Thu Feb 26, 2004 7:45 am

I just don't understand the logic of that argument (I have heard it before). In what way is it "cheap"? How is it any different than doing a 180 against another players wall, instead of the outer wall? I especially find this logic faulty because if somebody is between your wall and the outer wall, they know the consequences... and know it is coming. They had the same chance of getting a close grind as you do, except they had the chance BEFORE they entered the tunnel of death (where they could have used the brake to ensure a close grind).

ya i guess youre right i retract my statement

It was either Loc or Marrow I was playing with the other day when somebody came in and started complaining that we were cheating and abusing the physics programmed into the game. There were many eye-rolls, and well, more 180's... heh.

well, we may have a WARPED version of physics, but lag will do that. Why not use them to your advantage?

I feel that going from one server to another is like going to another planet, the physics are generaly the same but the variables are always a lil bit different. If you were to go to the moon to play basket ball, you would be capable of dunking on a 15' basket, do you learn to use that to your advantage or play by the rules from earth? You just have to adapt to survive! The players that complain about "Abusing" the physics are the players that cant adapt to the changes in the system, so they deserve to dye.

Vary good example, Seek. I agree. Adapt or die.
On the subject of playing on other servers,... I simply take too long to adapt, haha. It took me a long time to get used to 'goshdarn, I'm not into too much retraining. Rather than going to other servers, I usually just hang out on the one where all my online friends are. Besides, I don't have the playing time to get adventuresome. Heh.

i agree, a kill is a kill (no matter how frustrating). if it gets to be too much to handle i just take a break
