Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Oct 11, 2002 5:00pm PDTWell would you look at that! Friday! I'm pretty sure I'm gonna attempt to escape the computer for at least 20-30 minutes over the weekend. That seems like long enough I think.. right? Cheers to the lady at Wendys who dropped 3 frosties out the drivethrough window today all over the dude in the car in front of me. He seemed only mildly upset. Hehehehe. Stuff!

NOLFB is a TSR that disables the linear framebuffer (LFB) in VESA 2.0 (and above) BIOS. Doing this will make some DOS games (including BUILD engine games and other demos on my website) run under Windows NT/2K/XP. Programs will run slower without the LFB, but at least they work!

I thought about the elements in a game which will attract players and came up with these:
- competetion among groups / individuals
- accumulation of resources (be it money, gold, spice, bla bla)
- ego boosting (ranks, titles, professions)
- being part of something (warriors, doctors, gangs)

Gameplay:
suicides count against team score in TDM
fixed attenuation flak chunk damage over distance
reduced minigun spin up time slightly
made shock beam effect thicker
always keep dynamic light for shock projectile, even in low detail mode
translocation destination adjustment bug fix
"kdraw collision" disabled in MP
player dies before ball gets through hoop should still get credit for throw
AI:
bots supporting player will grab nearby pickups
fixed bots rotating to acquire targets too fast
added ReactionTime parameter for bots
fixed bots stuck in corners wanting to go to paths above
bots go after adrenaline more
Im not a big fan of suicides counting towards team score kind of guy since all it takes is an asshole to start suiciding a lot to break your score down.
