Where the fuck has he been? The last I heard from him he was getting his own house -- maybe he's gone and become respectable...

Since I have it available plainly on my website, I don't think I can complain that MadFox likes it well enough to redistribute it. However, I am working on finishing the map, and it just needs the final area plus monster/item placement.
Oh Right...

so it's THAT map.
Firefox On The Way Out
#10722 posted by bambuz on 2006/08/16 16:16:19
It's getting more bloated and slower with every release. I'll try to switch to opera as my main browser. If they had finally sorted out the tab focus order...
Is there something new cooking from the mozilla foundation?
Woah
#10723 posted by bambuz on 2006/08/16 16:24:27
they did sort the tab order with opera 9.

Opera 9

Tons of shit they haven't fixed yet though :(
Like the .chm support when saving webpages though.... fucking shitloads better than the old method.
Firefox

I love it but it drives me insane because of the stupid memory leak 100mb+ for a browser with one page open?
Tron

According to FF developers, that's actually a feature.
Firefox keeps a lot of websites with all the imgages/etc in memory so that if you decide to press the Back-button of your browser a couple of times, the pages would load much faster than they would load off cahce on HD.
Quite obviously this comes with a price.

Opera

opera 9.0 sometimes won't open the page of speed demos archive quake section (which is a serious drawback :) A friend also talked about problems with other sites. I have switched back to ver 8.
Shut Up RPG

Since it's never going to be finished due to excessive layout suckage, I figured (ie was told to by NotoriousRay) I may as well stick the trondm3 source .map on my site so that everyone can shut up about it.
Some Info How I Made My Runes

Opera 9 (again)
#10733 posted by than on 2006/08/17 01:21:27
There are a few niggles, but generally it is a great browser. You can use forward and back to go between pages very quickly, and it also has next page prediction, so if you use forward when there is no history to go forward to, it will try to guess the next page. This works quite well on some forums, but not so well on others.
The only probs I have with it atm are that:
1. I'd rather use uTorrent for torrents
2. When a download or email has been downloaded, sometimes the icons stay lit up even when you have checked the item/read the email.
Hmm...
No, there isn:t really anything else. If you are a power firefox user with 10 billion plugins you will probably hate Opera, but if you just use stuff like mouse gestures and ad blocking, Opera will probably suit you just fine. It also has email, rss and irc and still managed to fit into a 5mb download, so you can't really call it bloated. The mail client is great, the IRC is useable, but RSS is a bit shit.
It's fucking fast as fuck though :)
Btw:

There's a tronsp1 mentioned on your site, but I couldn't find a d/l link. Did I miss something?
No
#10736 posted by tron on 2006/08/17 02:19:28
It's still not uploaded to my site, I've been pretty lax with getting all the content on there since I've been too busy mapping. :)
Should be up there soon.

too busy mapping
That's what we like to hear!

someone rework tron's scrapped map into a small sp map for the base pack!
opera people: how much memory does opera9 use?

I am using this one as conback:

Opera Is Shit, Don't Use It! FirefoXXX Foraver!
#10740 posted by czg on 2006/08/17 04:53:48
Opera for me uses now 60 megs.
If you've already got Opera 9, update to Opera 9.01 as that fixes a lot of nigglets. (Including the thing Ankh mentioned about SDA)

RPG working on finishing AMSP1 is something I hoped for in a long while! I played the unfinished version and really liked it.
rpg, why not make the exit loop to could.bsp? I noticed that could loads rpgsp1 on exit. I like your maps enough to play three of them in a row :-)
Opera Memory Usage
#10742 posted by than on 2006/08/17 07:14:01
Depends how many sites you have open. Seems about the same as FF if you don't have any windows open, but I don't notice it lagging when I have lots. Right now I have 3 func windows open, kotaku.com (full of plugins and shitty webcode) and shacknews open and it's using 41mb, though it is slowly climbing. If I minimise it, the memory usage drops near instantaneously to 15mb.
I just opened another bunch of pages and memory usage is still at 41mb. I think it will climb slowly for a little while though. It certainly uses a bit more than 40mb sometimes.
When I brought the kotaku window into focus, it used another 7mb of ram, and putting it out of focus hasn't changed that, so I guess it depends on what windows you have open and also what windows you have recently accessed.
To be honest, I haven't noticed FF using loads of memory either, though I don't really use FF for anything other than keeping smut out of my opera cache :)
p.s. I have no FF plugins installed, so maybe that's why it seems ok.
