Put that time to good use. Build a Bastion II.
A screed of Unsolicited Advice??, or a spirit building pick me upper!? Try using a different DNS server. Maybe they are stupid and just route new DNS requests to their page. Try 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 (that's opendns.com)
if there is a program that can create SiN pak files?
No, it can't load Quake2 pak files, I checked (they also look different in a hex editor...) Apparently it is IMPOSSIBLE to create a SiN pak file (unless you work at Ritual.) (I'm not yet ready to accept that.) I found out.
It's very late so I'm slow thinking. Anyway, for the record... how to create a (real) SiN pakfile: The program is called makepak.exe (duh) and is part of the sintools (sined etc.) Stupidly, the documentation looks as if you can only extract them with that app; luckily, being a Linux user, I could (very slowly because very tired) make some sort of connection between "pak file" and "script file" and so I finally can use that thing. You have to create a script that includes the pak's name and all the stuff you want in it. Gosh. The documentation looks like this: Makepak 1.0 copyright (c) 1998 Ritual Entertainment USAGE: makepak -u -d <script file> [specific file] u - unpack into the current directory, script file is the pak name d - dump out the pak files contents, script file is the pak name If a specific file is specified then only those files matching that will be dumped Valid Script Commands: name <name of pak> include <wild card name> exclude <wild card name> includerecursive <wild card name> excluderecursive <wild card name> "Script file is the pak name." Yay for Ritual. *bangs head against wall* I'm going to smash my fax machine in a minute!!!
Why do we even still have fax machines?!?! And why do I have the shittiest fax machine ever created. Tarquin and Gerald (two Oblivion players) are walking down the road, when Tarquin turns to gerald and says:
"Gerald?" - "Yes?" "Gerald - if I can guess how many pigs you have in that sack on your back, can I have one of them?" To which Gerald replies: "Tarquin - If you can guess how many pigs I've got in this sack on my back, you can have the both of them!!" So Tarquin says "Three!!" Oblivion owns and you know it.
I have internet back btw, I was only offline for a day. Headthump, re: Bastion II - there will come a day when I will be free to pursue these sorts of things, able to realise these crawling visions of madness that were hinted at in my previous offerings - but today is not that day; Alas today, cynical of the industry, I am bound merely to create within the confines of commercial games development, although within that confine I am slowly mustering power and may one day erupt from my shackles and explode forth in a triumphant display of crimson-flecked glory. the SinEd source code. It was released by Ritual, but all links on the net are broken.
The file name should be sin_tools_source.zip. Anybody have it? (probably hopeless...) That review is fucking bollocks and furthermore Travail is at least a 16.51.
Seriously though, I think you really underrated these maps. Harsh Angled Edge 16/20
Bile Plant 17/20 Sealed City 19/20 Nightmare Tangents 16/20 The Final Drop 16/20 Overall Warp Spasm: 18/20 (16+17+19+16+16)/5 = 16.8 and theres points in discretion about overall cohesiveness and experience.
69 fresh map descriptions at Quaddicted. :)
http://www.quaddicted.com/?p=46 Thanks to all contributors! Did you forget neg!ke's qte2m5/6 or do you always skip secret maps?
In any case, the pack is 14 SP-maps + start map and 4 DM maps. Anyway, thanks for the continued work!
