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)

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:

those photos are really cool. I want to turn one into a conback or some sort of logo or something.

There's a tronsp1 mentioned on your site, but I couldn't find a d/l link. Did I miss something?
 No

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 Forgot Two Images Of The Runes
#10739 posted by Spirit on 2006/08/17 03:39:24
added them now. Those are two wallpapers/conbacks I made a while ago.
I am using this one as conback:

metl: Go for it! I have a lot more pictures and I could take more if you need a certain angle.
 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.
 That Would Be Something I'd Like For Opera.

I like Opera's delete private data function, but it sucks that it deletes Everything.
If you could tell it to only delete changes made after a certain time, that would be awesome.
You could clear out your traces of visiting scat-trannies.com on friday but still keep all your daily websites' cookies and adresses typed in, etc...
 Completely Agree
#10744 posted by than on 2006/08/17 08:22:11
that's why I use firefox for visiting scat-trannies.com.
There is a "delete new cookies when exiting opera" option, but I'd rather not have to exit opera. Delete changes made after a certain time is a great idea.
I think Firefox has a slightly better delete private data function, but I just clear it all because I only use ff for dodgy sites anyway.
 I Think

Firefox:s user interface has some things better: I like how it changes to the tab on the right (or left if that doesn't exist) when I close a tab. While opera switches to the last active tab, which is kinda unpredictable?!. I guess it's preference.
Also I used flashblock for firefox.
 Squad!

Nice work, Spirit. You're a great craftsman.
Especially the glowing one in the fire!
I want one in chocolate!
 Opera
#10747 posted by than on 2006/08/17 16:36:16
allows you to choose tab behavior. You can have it select tabs like ff now I think.
You can also disable flash by pressing f12 and turning it off with the menu that appears (along with java, js and some other stuff if you want).

That the wallpaper of yours I've been using at work for the last few months is not just a well made graphic as I'd thought, but is in fact a picture of one of the actual metal runes you made in a real fire pit, is pretty cool shit!
I'm impressed!

distrans: No comment.
Tron: You're a weanie. :( I did my part!
Spirit: Those are really cool indeed. I'd like to get one, but all I would do with it is let it sit on a shelf and people would ask me "what's that" and all I could say would be "that's a Quake rune." dork++
neg!ke: Don't tempt me.
golden_boy: Cool idea, but I actually already have plans for the ending of that map. :) Maybe for RPGSP2...
 Bah
#10752 posted by tron on 2006/08/18 14:20:42
You told me to release it, it's released...I just don't want to release it properly because of the aforementioned gameplay suckage.
 How About...

a Quake symbol hood ornament?
or "bonnet medallion" as you brits probably call it.
 FAQTION.ORG - Quake Mapper Hosting
#10754 posted by . on 2006/08/18 23:38:40
I just ordered the domain.
It may be an 'iffy' name, but hopefully it'll grow on ya. I was going to get 'quaked' .ORG or .NET but they're all taken already.
Metl, when all is setup should I submit a news thread detailing the hosting?
 Phait:
#10755 posted by metlslime on 2006/08/19 02:55:06
yeah, i'd say that's a worthwhile news item to get out there.
