tastyspleen.net / Screen bobbing 0

« on: February 13, 2015, 10:50:54 AM »

Hey everyone. I was wondering if it was possible to disable screen bobbing on the TS servers. From what I understand, bob_pitch, bob_roll, and bob_up, are all handled by the server and not by the client. Is it possible to edit the server.cfg to allow players to use their own bob settings rather than have the server force its own for every player?
Thanks.

Well I admit that I stand incredibly corrected. 
And I realized what I said earlier came off as a bit ignorant... When I said vinyl was superior to digital in every way, I was speaking more on the actual listening experience rather than actual sound quality (so it's not superior in every way. Oops.) Anyways, about the tape: I actually started looking into the science behind all of that recently, and in the mass influx of information I gathered, I guess I also picked up some bull shit.    Thanks for the correction.

I have found vinyl to be easier on the ears overall though, whether it's of a higher quality or not. And would I sound totally pretentious if I were to say that the "roar and rumble" of vinyl and the wavering and slight hissing on cassettes added character to the recordings? I'm not the type that deems all things digital as soulless and inferior, but I do think the imperfections of vinyl and cassette are able to enhance the listening experience. I've been dabbling in ambient/drone and noise cassette releases and I think that the shortcomings of the  format compliment the general atmosphere in a really interesting way.

I'm in. I'm not very good, but I'm getting better.
Besides, it was one of YOU who told me I should sign up.
So no blame on me. ^_^

Hmm. I got into vinyl about 3 years ago and without a doubt the sound quality is superior to digital in every way.
And OP, it's funny that you mention tapes. I just heard a cassette for the first time about a week ago after finding that there are quite a few underground artists releasing them. From what I've heard, I like a lot. I also read that CDs destroy bass quality whereas tapes keep it in tact and are also able to capture higher frequency sound. I don't think tapes have CD quality beat in every respect, but I definitely think they sound more interesting and have a warmer sound overall. Also, analog synths sound super sexy on cassette.
