Hey, who all wants to play L4D2 but is unable to pay for it? I am thinking of buying the L4D2 Four Pack and giving out extra copies - please only express interest if you want to play L4D2 but are unable to pay for it for whatever reason. I don't want someone saying "Well I wouldn't pay $50 for it but since it's free I'll take a copy" kind of thing. 

I am able to pay for it though, which might strike me off your list.

But I'll put my share towards the total price.

Or else organise another buying group, so no problem if you're only wanting people who can't pay. 

The other day wasn't available for preorder yet. 

Preordering a 4 pack is $135.00, and if all 4 people CAN pay, then that would be $33.00 or something per person, a much better deal than $45 per person. Still, if we get 3 people who can pay and one person who wants it but can't pay, then that's still a benefit since we'll have another msgboarder to play l4d2 with. 

I pretty much only plan LAN and can organise a group in the office.

But if there's three other func's I'll join to drop the price for the others. 

Does anybody remember how to stop the auto destruct sequence on the level "Stroggo Frefighter" in the quake 2 mission pack the Reckoning? 

hey metl I've got 3 small wavfiles, in mono, to use as background music for maps, yet fitz still says they're stero only. what shall I do? 

obvious question, of course, but i have to ask: you're sure they're mono? maybe they're stereo with identical channels so that it sounds mono?

what compression are you using? afaik, quake works only with pcm (uncompressed). if you use adpcm, even if it's mono, the engine will read it wrongly as stereo. 

is this only a problem in fitzquake, or other quake engines too? 

I think I figured out what the problem was, it was the type of compression in the wav - it was a mono wav file but apparently there's a good deal of variety within that (shows how much I know). I picked what I think is the right format, and it was probably right since the error message at least changed. Now when I load the map, in both fitz (a belated thank you of epic proportions for supporting increased limits with the new version!) and aguirre's glquake, I get music/water.wav not looped, and then it doesn't play. Help appreciated. 

now you need to open up the file in an audio editor and add markers at the beginning and end of the file. 

has a special feather to save a wav as looped file. 

off to japan peeps, I expect some maps to play in 5 weeks :) 

Have a blast! 

have fun and take loads of pictures! 

Aye, what sock said, many pictures (and have fun ofc). Not that anything'll actually be released when you get back ;p 

I guess an entity could?
