The development (or lack thereof) DNF will make for a good chapter in some future business management book.

art, music, etc. / Re: What song are you listening to at the moment?

« on: June 29, 2007, 06:02:39 AM »

Modern music starting sucking right around 1994.  Today it's a vast wasteland.

I've gone back and started listening to artists I kind of ignored in the 80's,   Roxy Music, Bryan Ferry, Brain Eno, etc.  They rock!

art, music, etc. / An upgrade story with a happy ending

« on: June 29, 2007, 06:00:04 AM »

I recently upgraded my AMD Athlon XP 2800 on an Asus A7V8X-X with a BFG Nvidia FX5700 Ultra to an AMD 64 3400+ 939 on an Asus A8V-XE with an EVGA Nvidia 6600GT.  I know it's not a big upgrade but I'm cheap OK!

Normally I would assume I would need to reinstall Windows. I was surprised that I was able to boot up even after installing all the new hardware. I did get a bunch of pop ups notifying me of a new this and that but I closed those out and uninstalled the old drivers and installed the new drivers. I also had to re activate Windows as I would expect.

Talk about a big surprise and it saved me tons of time. System is stable and running great!   Doom 3 on high quality looks great!

maybe if you posted more, you wouldn't be labelled a newbie.. and your questions would no longer be "noob type"

I use R1Q2.  cl_drawfps 1 did the trick.

thanks,

Quake / AntiCheat hassles?

« on: April 16, 2007, 06:03:05 AM »

I've installed the R1Q2 client and have the anticheat.dll module as well.  Why does the server keep asking me to upgrade to an anti cheat client?

Quake / Exceeding the speed limit??

« on: March 21, 2007, 06:01:29 AM »

Once in a while during play a console message will come up indicating "player x was frozen for exceeding the speed limit".  What is that?

Thanks,

Quake / Is this a sign of possible cheating??

« on: March 08, 2007, 10:34:15 AM »

A player logs into the DM server.  Let's call him...oh I don't know.... how about Krap.  Console logs that Krap has joined the game and that Krap is NOTusing anticheat.  The next line howerver then reads something like Krap:NoCheat [IP] blah blah blah and the rest.  Is the server just confused?

Should be obvious.  Came from my dial up days when I had a 200+ ping.  Now that I'm on ATT/Yahoo super duper DSL and have a <45 Ping!  I get asked during play "hey Lee, what's with that name?", "You got a 35 ping!".

Quake / Re: Weapons damage

« on: September 13, 2006, 07:54:33 PM »

OK then what about BFG damage?  Again, when the better players shoot a BFG round at me I can be turned around a corner and I still get pulverized.  WTF?!?!  But there have been times when I seem to have them cornered and fire a BFG round but they somehow manage to escape unfragged.  Again I say WTF?!?!  It can't always be that they had mega health, full armor, etc. can it?

Thanks!

Quake / Weapons damage

« on: September 10, 2006, 06:31:13 PM »

I've noticed that hits from some of the better players (Elysium, Android, ...etc) seem to inflict more damage than similar hits from other players.

Quake / Re: Why does this happen??

« on: August 22, 2006, 09:46:08 AM »

If you're standing next to a corpse, and the corpse gets squished and explodes, the explosion can reorient you even though you don't take damage from it.


Regards,

I don't think this has ever happened while a corpse is nearby.  However, a weapon have been close and when a weapon is crushed it does explode so that could explain it.

Thanks!
