shambler is so polite man, good to see him cleaning the way with his bloody and rusted axe... 

And the ram is pc133, 133mhz not 100mhz 

I thought about complaining but didn't.

Also, I think it's worth complaining just to read your replies. 

Vectrex: Minesweeper/Rockaroids Remix/Patriots (tie), although Vectris in direct sunlight is unique.
32X: Virtua Fighter
Sega CD: Stellar Fire/Eternal Champions CD (tie)
Virtual Boy: Red Alarm. No second.
Jaguar: Iron Soldier
Jaguar CD: Battlemorph

I'll have to disagree on N64. That would be Pilotwings 64. Relaxing! 

I never really post here any more, and I doubt any answer of any worth will come out of this following question... but what do I have to loose? Where might someone find information on the steps nessacary on creating a mod or whatever? I'm trying to find interviews, advice columns, articles anything on creating a mod and any tips people have developed might have. I would appreciate even a half surious response. Thanks.

Isn't inside3d.com the place for Q1 coding stuff? I assume you are talking about code.

See the Getting Started link... 

when i learned quakec, it helped to hang out in #qc (same network as #tf.) Also, there are some useful pages on inside3d.com, like:

Another recent page that has gone up is FrikaC's Quake Wiki: http://frikqcc.quakesrc.org/ 

It's interesting, but I've managed to get the hard disk partitioned and formatted (MaxBlast III), and Win95 installed.

Now all I have to do is figure out what driver is causing a hard reset every time I try to start Windows outside Safe Mode. (All I know is that the Plug-n-play BIOS isn't it.) 

I had that problem a couple of times, the first time that I had it, it was the motherboard and so I installed via 4in1 drivers.

The next time it happened I took my network card out and re inserted it and that seemed to be causing the problem.

Take a look at some of your cards inside your computer for loose connections etc. (network card especially) 

More to the point, I've spotted a PCI Riva TNT 32MB video card in a shop for $200, and I don't need the network card just now, so...

(Oh, yeah, haven't started work yet. Farg.) 

$200 for a four-year-old card? I hope those are munckin dollars or something... 

...why dont you just buy a geforce 2 GTS? you can get them for like $50 US dollars online or from ebay. 

I live in Melbourne and you can get gf2's for anywhere between $A 100-150 depending on the model. I'm sure NZ prices msut be similar. 

seems like it's turned into a yearly franchise :)

Although, to be fair, from the news on PU it sounds like the original ut2003 with new maps and some code (not sure on this since it's backward compatible with ut2003 servers) for vehicles plus the Assault and Onslaught gamemodes.

Wonder why they didnt mention all of this to folks when they were forking out money for ut2003. 

$200 for a TNT 32mb?? Struth... I wouldn't pay $5 for that.

Good lord, you can get a geforce4mx for about $100 AUD...

I guess if you need a PCI card specifically your options are more limited, but you can still do better than that, Fatty. Have a look around (online especially) for better deals. 

As mentioned, I intend to purchase a video card with my own money - and as yet I still don't have a definite start date on that job. There's still plenty of time to shop around.

(Besides, I still have to wiggle cards and get this PC going yet!)

Actually, back when I was house/cat sitting, their box (now long gone due to a lightning strike) had a Riva TNT64, so that's my benchmark. Still, if I can find a PCI GeForce I'll get it if I can, since y'all seem to reccomend 'em. 

If you are willing to pay the postage/shipping, you can "HAVE" that stuff I mentioned earlier, up there ^^^, but I need to know soon, I have some one else who wants it, but if you would like it, it's yours. Let me know, and we can arrange it 

...I thought you were from India or somewhere in Asia nitin??

Or have you moved to get closer to your love interest Mr Fribbles....hang on, WHO did he get engaged to recently?? Hmmm... 

How about an indian living in melbourne? And I didnt know frib was engaged, all that moving for nothing! 

I'm sure Aussie law must allow bisexual bigamy... 

I'll have to get a technician to get this fargnaxing computer looked at first.

Besides, a 3D card's actually a pretty low priority at the moment. 

Just save up for the GeforceFX 5900 Ultra (aka NV35). That card smokes everything in its path, particularlly Doom III. 

and it'd be awesome for that pentium 200 or so, maybe he could solder an agp slot onto his motherboard! problem solved! 

Not only are these cards stupidly expensive but they are also extremely loud, so kiss goodbye to any atmosphere you wanna hear in a game or DvD movie you wanna watch. Unless of course you wait for the water cooler unit there making for the FX.
