you do realise nobody is stopping you from mapping except your own posts every 2 min? If you want to map, map. It's really that simple. At the moment you are trying to defend your opinions very unsuccessfully. 

NO, I just finish one map :p 

Quake doesn't install on my new Win 7 / 64 bit pc. Gives me some grumbling crap about the 64 bit aspect. WTF? 

Are you using a disc? Or are you using a downloaded file? I got the installation file from idsofware's website, and it installed fine on my PC.

Im using the same OS as you :)

One option that might work, and one that will work:

Right click on the setup file and click "troubleshoot compatibility" - follow instructions and try and run it in compatibility mode for an older OS.

OR:

Install the program onto a different machine, then copy the root /quake/ directory straight onto your HDD via a USB memory stick or whatever.

The second suggestion WILL work. 

Can you give some info about how well newer games run on your new rig? I'm going to be upgrading somewhen in the next few months and would be interested in how well things run. You went with the i3 right? 

I will be doing, aye. But Jago recommended the rig and he is a fussy snobby cunt so it should probably be pretty good. Also Choado has got the same one and is reporting Crysis being pretty pimp on it.

Or just fucking warez it. 

 

my cd didn't have problems with w7 but try running setup.exe from cdrom:\Install\setup.exe instead of the setup.exe in the root folder of the cd.

i've noticed some older games like ST:elite force have splash screen/autorun executables that can't run on a 64bit system, but the actual installer can so the trick is to find them somewhere on the CDs and run them directly. 

isn't there also an "install.bat" on the disk? 

yeah, i didn't bother checking as i assumed it just ran the autorun executable (i figured it was for OSes that didn't have autorun or whatever since the game is ancient in terms of OSes). 

i really want to compile a List of the different quake install media and how to install them some day

and for everyone's amusement here is what the german android auto complete wanted me to write :
i Realos Santa to Compiler a List offen the Differenz Qu�ker installiert Media and how Tor installiert them sonst day 

Just copied it over.

this seems to be a level-headed assessment of the social problems of France at the moment. 

wait untill 2050 they will own France...

French people have 2 kids max

Arabs have 8 :)

can you guess who will win elections in 2050?

If they live like western people respecting the way of our life... but they don't :(

Anyway I'm just comment with no evil, calm down :\ 

Not that stigmatisation and fear mongering cause ghetto-isation and therefore become a self fulfilling prophecy.

There's also a certain poetic justice in the historically exploitative complaining about exploitation of their resources.

And surely the logical conclusion to increased immigration (given the obvious* right of individuals to choose where they wish to live and to seek to better their own existence) is to promote measures to increase intergration and thereby increase the quality of life for all.


*If anyone wishes to argue the inherent rightlessness of man you may do so, however, I am attempting to take a pragmatic approach and move beyond purely animal instinctualism. 

Nobody is another colour I don't mind who they are. 

this board is soundling increasingly like the political debate in Aus at the moment. I get enough of that in the news thank you very much :)

Really, though, immigration (or as in Aus, the increase asylum seekers) is not a problem. What is a obviously a problem is illegal immigrants. The focus needs to just move from stupid fear mongering of immigrants taking over a country (unlikely to happen anyway considering the persecution they are subjected to by some of the locals) to properly directed policy at the real, more difficult to combat, issue. 

The boats! The boats! 

so their craziness over illegal immigration is pretty crazy to me; people are going to move to where there are jobs and a better economic situation, that makes sense, thats how the vast majority of AMERICANS (and CANADIANS) got to North America, immigration is a natural phenomenon in human populations. My only problem is when people, whatever ethnicity they are or language they speak, bring with them a political identity which trumps their loyalty to the country they have come to. Fundamentalist Muslims seem to have this tendency. It's not racist to attack a set of ideas such as Islam; ahem Trinca not all Arabs are Muslims (far from it) nor are all Muslims Arabs. I wouldn't want Christian fundamentalists who don't believe in science, civil liberties, women's rights or free speech exerting a huge amount of political power over my secular democracy and the same goes for Muslim fundamentalists. 

Just to enlight the discussion, I am pretty sure the vast majority of the people that immigrates to Europe thought their life will be better. They all hope for a better life, with a job, a car, a house, school for kids, etc.. etc.. all what the "modern" life-style can offer and what they do not have in their own country.
But actually we already do not have enough jobs for our citizens, we already have our poor people to support, etc... so for immigrants, it is even harder to get a job, etc... unless you have a really specific skill that can be used by a company.

I guess immigrants have an "Eldorado" ideal view of Europe (particularly Africans), while I think they should rather try to enhanced their own situation in their own country (I have to admit it is quite hard sometimes for many reasons: ie. political, social, etc.. etc...)

What makes me really angry actually, is when people come to my country, and ask for government subsidies, denying our life-style, not respecting our laws, etc. etc.. Hopefully, this is only a minority over the amount of people that immigrates... though... it depends of the former country they come from (North african are particularly disrespectful on that point).
And when we criticize this minority, finger-pointing them saying they have not only rights but also duties, we are charged as racist...

So yes, I am racist: I don't have any respect to people that do not respect my country, my laws, my way of life. I cannot imagine myself moving to another country and not respecting the host country laws. To precise: I am racist on morons.

So back to Trinca's point of view, I clearly understand what is his feeling, I have almost the same point of view, I just make a clear difference in between respectful immigrants and the minority of morons that causes troubles. This last category should be pushed out of our country. 

I really think this way JPL, the day I was flamed I intend to piss other people in here... yes I�m a moron sometimes :p

I just want a good life for my kids, hope this can be possible in the future!

I remember Spirit say in #tf is you don�t stop I will stop talking to you, LOL I provoke whim more :\ I'm a nasty bitch 

... being politically correct ;) 

No, you just have a good way of be ;)

I'm a nasty radical Portuguese
