First Post!
by Maarten Goldstein, Sep 14, 2004 7:52am PDTI've been playing some of the recently released UT2004 mods and I really like that we're finally seeing some singleplayer mods. I still have a few to go through but Eden Eclipse and Damnation are among my favorites so far. United Offensive invades U.S. stores today, unfortunately it looks like we won't get the Call of Duty expansion pack for another 10 days here. Luckily there's still plenty of Burnout 3 for me to enjoy, but still, that makes me cry. Also on FileShack
- Piddly's Chance - cutesty action/adventure mod for UT2004.
- Hostile Intent patch - updates version 1.3 of this Half-Life mod to v1.3.5.
- Crashday Trailer 3 - latest trailer from this stunt racing game.

Well with the recent announcement of the Guild Wars Alpha Guild Invites, I will be setting up a guild for the game. What does this mean?
It means:
Possible invitation to Guild Wars alpha/beta. Offering suggestions to the dev team, checking out the guild aspect of the game and to see it in action.
What I need done, If anyone is interested in joining up, I need you to reply in here with either e-mail or a way to contact you. I think if we get 30+ members to sign up for this and participate we have a good chance of getting in to test the game. I know A LOT of the GIANT COMMUNIST ROBOTS team is/was interested in this game. After playing with them on WoW it would be great to play in this game.
I will be monitoring this thread with a close eye to keep in contact with everyone. If we have the turnout that we did in the WoW stress test, we could be one of the top guilds in Guild Wars. 170+ members strong is something respectable.
Let me know! kthx

Reminder: Upcoming Trade-Skill Deletion - Caydiem on 09/13/04
To better match the design goals for World of Warcraft, characters will be able to be trained in a maximum of 2 " professions" at the same time. What this means is that characters that currently have more than 2 of the following trade skills will have trade skills randomly removed by the upcoming patch until they are left with 2 remaining professions: mining, herbalism, skinning, alchemy, blacksmithing, tailoring, leatherworking, engineering, and/or enchanting.
Please note that the upcoming trade-skill deletion does not affect cooking, fishing, and first aid, which do not count toward the 2-profession limit
BTW, are there any insiders that can comment on these... "design goals" ?? Why would Blizzard deliberatly cut players off from content of the game?

The fact that game traffic can magically travel through the yellow-arrowed track barriers, taking you out in the midst of a perfect turn. Surprise!
The fact that only two stats are given for each car (Speed, Weight), and in most cases, the final car you unlock in a series has the exact same stats as every other car in that series.
Cheating AI. There is no greater reward than nearly completing a perfect race, only to crash before the finish line, and watch the rubberband AI speed past you. Good call Criterion, most gamers in fact prefer cheating over realistic opponents.

A shackbattle will occur at 9:00 P.M. E.S.T. tonight. But that's not what this post is mainly about.
We have an influx of new players, and many of them have expressed an interest in training. I have whipped up a custom map designed to aid in training.
http://s93715522.onlinehome.us/temp/Shack_Training.zip
You must download the file, extract the .rfa file inside, and place it in your ...\Battlefield 1942\Mods\bf1942\Archives\bf1942\levels directory.
This map has everything:
-At least one of almost every vehicle in the game, including ships and planes.
-Def guns
-Machine gun emplacements
-Paratrooper spawn points
-A pointless bridge over the middle of the map.
-A shack symbol artillery target
Just about any skill should be practiceable on this map. So what is the purpose of it?
Thursday night I hope to hold a training session. The plan is for players to join Teamspeak, get it properly configured, then join the game, where regulars will show them around and teach them how to use equipment and play the game. We'll probably train for an hour, and then try an actual game.
In reply are a list of skills that should be covered.

I want to play this again, however I have the selfish notion we could actually get some shackbattles going and that people who never played would enjoy this mod very much especially with shackers.
Theres 2 problems.
1. There isnt some single download with the essentials, this is old school where maps, sounds, updates are all over the fucking place and I want to avoid 5-10 different steps so because most of you are lazy bitches new people can get going right away. There are standalone editions of the mod which are very nice, however they seem halfassed. Missing key maps or adding wtffeatures like a sword or some really crappy models compaired to the original stuff.
2. We need a server. Theres a couple of AQ2 servers, but we need our own that will run the really good fun maps and avoid extra bullshit.
So I what I think will work if most ppl download the Q2 demo, a file containing the models/sounds/patches/maps and taking it from there.
Which leads to maps, I havent played in a long time so I probably missed one from this list. Help me out.

For some reason I lost access to my workgroup. It was working earlier, but now whenever I try to access it, the error "The list of servers for this workgroup is currently not available" pops up.
I've tried it on 3 PCs, restarted the computers, restarted the router, restarted the modem, reset the router, and reflashed the firmware, and it still doesn't work. I can still connect to the computers by entering their pc name, but I'd like to know wtf went wrong, and how to fix it. I haven't installed anything new, so it's odd that it would stop working :|

Anyway, about the time that the command line version was getting hot and wet, I was contacted by a writer at Maximum PC. He wanted permission to put my utility in their magazine. I was all for it and asked for a copy of the issue it was in. The issue has been shipped to subscribers and my contact at the magazine has sent me a copy that is still in the mail. A very cool shacker who also happens to subscribe to Maximum PC sent me this digital cam pic of the page. I have received a few emails on the utility already. I am glad you guys are digging it. I am also enjoying my 15 seconds.

To all the people reporting bugs, thanks a bunch! All the interest in the utility has renewed my interest in it and I plan on stomping the worst of them. I also hope to add support for file formats other than MP3, as that seems to be the biggest request. OGG is very popular.

Last night I came home from a show up in Towson at 2:30, and had to wake up at 6:30.. and I did so, stupidly. Of course, when I got home it was time to take a nap, so I took an (unplanned) four hour nap.
And now I'm not tired, and I'm not going to be tired for another six hours. Any sleeping suggestions?

It needs to focus on some form of modelling of a real world or abstract situation since we really want them to make extensive use of data types.
The last assignment had them modelling cards and then writing a black jack game.
Preferably it should be something that's considered "fun".
Our current idea is to have something like a game. Basically one of those text-based games ("Fill lamp with sand") where it would be modelled using "Rooms" then connecting rooms together... But we're not quite sure of a simple game that could be implemented using this world representation...
Any ideas are welcome. Using our current plan or some other idea that would be neat.
It's not that important, but the course is an introduction course in Haskell.
