what is the best connection to use from my card to my monitor? here is a picture of my card. ATM i am using the blue connection which is the normal vga i think but i was told if i use the other one it will be heaps better again. i do have the cable and the extra slot on my monitor for it, so which should i use? or can i use both at the same time?
You cannot, or shouldn't use both at the same time. I can't think of any reason you'd want or need to, and it would probably cause problems. The only reason you'd want to use both at the same time is if you were hooking up 2 monitors.
For 1 monitor, use the white/DVI connector if your monitor has the DVI input on the back.
I have read a good bit about it, and have seen some hilarious in-game videos. Still haven't taken the plunge though. Doubt I will anytime soon, if I do, though it does look like it could be quite engrossing, at least for a while.
God... that quadz guy is SUCH a show off. Here we are, perfectly content with our naive discussion, and he has to barge in here with his "knowledge" and ruin all the fun.
(And the survivor will get hit one final time with full damage, after which the trace can finally move forward.)
I guess this means in the case of one of the entities being a corpse, and the other a player, the player will take 200 damage, or double the normal rail amount?
There is a bug, that I suppose many people aren't aware exists, where if you get railed AND the rail shot that hits you also gibs an existing corpse at the same time, the rail does > the usual 100 damage (though I'm not sure exactly how much). I used to be on both the giving and receiving end of this on the Mage Warehouse server many times, years ago. I'm pretty sure I recall experiencing it somewhat recently too.
But in your case, you probably got railed twice. The bug I mentioned does just a little over 100 damage I believe, though I'm really not sure the exact amount. Also, I'm not sure if the corpse that also gets gibbed needs to be within a certain proximity of you when you get railed or not. You may have to be literally standing on the corpse when it happens.
Why'd you make the switch. You like that keyboard too much?
The DVORAK is designed to be more comfortable, and also allows you to type faster. The QWERTY layout has been around since the early days of the typewriter. QWERTY style was designed to prevent old-style typewriters from jamming up, among other issues irrelevant to today's methods of typing.
