tastyspleen.net / Re: Help-Error help

« Last post by Costigan_Q2 on October 15, 2024, 11:27:51 AM »

When player 'Makuta Bones' enters a game  I get disconnected and cant re-connect as long as he is playing.

The Error message I get is

 ERROR:Glupload8: players/Makuta/Makuta.pcx:  640 x 480 too large

I have turned off all player/skin/model downloading and have deleted the makuta model/skin/player from all q2 player files but none of this has worked.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

For Quake 2 when i encounter a model i have problems with i just delete/displace the entire contents of the folder of that model but not the folder itself and then i'll copy the male model baseq2 files (sans ALL skins) into said model folder and then i'll copy in a skin that goes with the male model and rename it with the name of the skin that was being used with said model that was causing me a problem - i'll copy in and rename more skins if more skins are used with said model.

I go back into the server the problems occurred in and the malfunctioning and/or hard-to-see model-skin is replaced by a simple male model-skin.

Simpler version: First delete/displace the original Makuta skin then copy a male skin into the Makuta folder and rename it Makuta - presto! fixed! simple! the male skin will wrap weirdly on the Makuta model but who cares if you don't get kicked?

Even simpler version: Resize the Makuta skin! it'll wrap weirdly on the Makuta model but who cares if you don't get kicked?

p.s. You could also recolour a resized Makuta skin to offset the visual effects of the weird skin-on-model wrap.

Another good one passed back in August apparently, but for personal family reasons, it wasn't announced to the public until October 1st.

Actor John Amos passed away at age 84 on August 24th.



He played the dad James Evans on the old 70's sitcom Good Times. Sure, Jimmie Walker as JJ was popular and quotable, but without John Amos, it wouldn't have been worth watching in my opinion. My favorite episode was season 1 episode 2, Black Jesus, where the dad (John Amos) insists that Jesus was black, so JJ paints a picture of "Black Jesus" (see the above pic) and it becomes the family good luck charm.

Me? Watch Good Times? You DAMN RIGHT, I do! I might be a white boy that grew up in the 80's and 90's but I love me some black 70's sitcoms - Good Times, The Jeffersons, Sanford & Son, also the early 80's reboot of Sanford & Son minus the son Lamont (played by Demond Wilson) just called Sanford... it was pretty good, although not quite as good as Sanford & Son.

Beats the hell outta the crap they have on network tv now, that's for sure. I can't name one single sitcom on network television that's worth watching anymore. It all sucks. Especially if it's on ABC.

Fact about John Amos you maybe didn't know: You could kinda tell just by looking at him, the man played football. Throughout the 60's, he played football for various leagues, starting out with the AFL (later became NFL) Denver Broncos but was cut after a very short period, and then other teams in the Continental Football League, United Football League, and the Atlantic Coast Football League.

My favorite John Amos movies:

The Beastmaster (1982) - Always loved that movie as a kid. Was one of the best "sword & sorcery" genre movies from the 80's. They used to play it on TBS a lot back in the 90's, and I'd also rent it from the local Blockbuster Video every once in a while.

(Dunno what the hell a black guy was doing roaming the countryside with a young white boy. Yeah, maybe it's kinda weird,... but... he's the dear old dad from Good Times, so we don't question it.)



Coming to America (1988) - One of the greatest comedy movies of all time in my opinion. Eddie Murphy in his prime, and Arsenio Hall, both of them getting in makeup and prosthetics to create even more hilarious characters throughout the movie. And the great John Amos as Mr. McDowall. Also... the debut of Samuel L Jackson ...yelling and pointing a gun at people, just how we always love him.

Die Hard 2 (1990) - Die Hard... is a Christmas movie. It's been decided... not by me, but hey, I'll go along with it. At the very least, it's a really good action movie, definitely what I'd consider an all-time "classic", certainly as an action movie, but just as a good well-made movie in general in my opinion. And Die Hard 2 was a very solid sequel. Honestly, the entire catalog of Die Hard movies have something to offer for the action movie fan. If you're the kind of person who hates the Die Hard movies... you either hate Bruce Willis personally for some reason, or you're just not that big of a fan of the action genre... so I'm sorry, but your opinion about the Die Hard movies doesn't count.

He was in lots of other movies, and he never really played any lead characters.

(Haven't seen it yet... but WANT to.)

More on the topic of Roman history...

Saw a commercial for this on youtube the other day. Anthony Hopkins as Emperor Vespasian. Should be pretty cool. Something about Roman gladiatorial games and such.

Those About To Die - Peacock original miniseries


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFQcZRCZABo

Saw this a couple weeks ago. 10 episodes, about 1 hour each.

Verdict:
MEH. 

Not altogether historically accurate. It takes plenty of "artistic liberties", and it's not all that great.

The end of Season 1 sets the stage for a Season 2... which I anticipate would be even LESS historically/factually accurate than season 1, but so far, I haven't heard if Peacock plans to finance a 2nd season. I kinda hope they don't. I'd be tempted to watch it... and I don't want to.

/dev/random / Re: HBO's GAME OF THRONES - OFFICIAL THREAD

« Last post by |iR|Focalor on October 02, 2024, 12:36:23 AM »

I heard (well... SAW to be accurate) Haunted talking about HBO's House of the Dragon in discord.

Figured I'd give it a go. I even took a few weeks and rewatched the whole Game of Thrones series as a refresher.

Boy. Did THAT suck, or what?

...

But... Game of Thrones folder got deleted right after I watched the last episode. Bwip, deleted. Not gonna watch that again.

So yeah, I did watch it one more time. And yeah, I still think the ending kinda sucked, maybe even moreso now in light of how important the events of that last season were really supposed to be. I also noticed many glaring and obvious plot holes... or sometimes just very questionable plot points. I can't even remember any of them now, but I KNOW they were there, because I had a good laugh several times at how bad they were and how I didn't notice them the first time around.

It took me several weeks to start watching House of the Dragon. I tried on about 3 occasions, got about 5 to 10 minutes in, and was so bored that I felt compelled to stop watching and go do something else. So yeah, there's that: it takes a good while to get into it. Game of Thrones was much more interesting.

It's also a little confusing because things jump forward in time at different parts with different actors playing the roles. I remember at one point it clearly let you know with a fullscreen caption that it was "5 years later", but at other times, it didn't tell you... (unless the version I downloaded cut it out - I don't think it did). Also, characters don't appear to age logically. Some are cast to look much older and taller than they should be, or compared to how little other characters in the same age range have aged in the same time.

Because of all this, the story certainly has just as many holes as Game of Thrones, if not MORE (personally, I think MORE).

Also, the fairly obvious and obnoxious injecting of post-modernism and modern feminism into the story is stupid and a big part of what makes the overall story less interesting. So tired of Hollywood trying to inject their new age "woke" philosophy into everything. It fucking RUINS art when you turn it into a vehicle for your little "message."
