How broken is Windows 7's permissions system? I am download some installer, the browser will launch it once it is done. I browse on, type text and suddenly the form receives no more characters. I can still shift tab fine and use the mouse but no characters. I get mad and think it must be java or flash stealing my input. But what lurks in the taskbar? Some fucking "do you want to execute this file" prompt. Fuck this.
Yeah

I had that happen to me a couple of times, too. Very annoying.

Thief 1.19 - Mysterious New Unoffical Patch?!
#22096 posted by quakis on 2012/09/28 15:52:33
My word, this is amazing. A mysterious unofficial patch popped up which makes many updates and fixes to the engine, and also makes it run on modern hardware without DDFix, using all cores, includes OpenAL (EAX), many additions and changes to DromEd (editor), and so on... check the change list out in this thread;
http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=140085
The best part of this patch in my opinion?
First off, the community releases some really amazing quality fan missions and push darkengine to its limits with a number of great titles. But there are of course limitations which have been around for a very long time.
Limitations have been increased considerably. This gets me excited to see what is further in store for Thief FMs. It's already attracting a ton of mappers to jump into DromEd to mess with the new features.
It's a great time for Thief and the community! :D
The patch also works for System Shock 2, and appears to work with Thief Gold as well.

The contents of that patch is crazy good for the Thief/SS2 community. Whats more interesting is how no one knew about it and the way the patch was released. I am so tempted to have a look at that editor ...

That Star Wars movie is really awesome. Just had a really cool Moebius scene. Will continue watching it later.
Running, Jumping, Standing Still...
#22101 posted by Mike Woodham on 2012/09/30 16:00:55
I may have asked this before but if I did, I don't remember the answer: with Windows 7, and using FitzQ, standard progs.dat (actually, any progs.dat; I cannot run and jump. I can walk and jump, I can stand and jump, and I can run forward; but if I hold SHIFT (my run key), UP ARROW (my forward key, and then press SPACEBAR (my jump key), no jump registers.
I am trying to play-test a map and have two running-jump requirements (over lava, and which must have worked when I built this map three or so years ago when I was using XP) and I just keep plopping into the lava. I can walk-jump but do not quite clear the lava, so although I get my toes burnt, I do survive.
However, I want a running-jump at these locations. Does anyone have any suggestions?
In addition, is there a ratio of some kind between length and height that says how for up I can jump and land for a given distance?
Errr What?
#22102 posted by negke on 2012/09/30 16:57:12
My suggestion would be to check your keyboard. Or possibly the Windows settings (ease of access options activated?) But then, I'm surprised there's actually someone who doesn't have always run enabled in Quake. This may allow you to test the jumps.
Mmmm
#22103 posted by Mike Woodham on 2012/09/30 17:23:06
So I set Mouse2 to +forward, and leave SHIFT as +speed (run) and SPACEBAR as +jump, and now I can run and jump.
This seems to suggest that the laptop or Windows7 does not like three key combinations. And yet CTRL/ALT/"3" gives me �.
Oh, I give up. It's all too much (and it's supposed to be fun).
#22104 posted by negke on 2012/09/30 17:41:29
Wow, the laptop must be really old then. Or have a very cheap keyboard. I remember from 12+ years ago how some keyboards wouldn't allow too many keypresses at once and make Windows beep.
Seriously, just enable Always Run in the options. Least troublesome solution.

HP, Intel i7, 4M RAM, Windows 7: there's probably some setting somewhere that needs changing.
Always Run
#22106 posted by quaketree on 2012/10/01 09:41:33
Who doesn't have always run enabled? There's no reason not to and there's only a few places in the original game where running may cause some problems for someone new to the game.
Always Run
#22107 posted by Mike Woodham on 2012/10/01 15:56:55
I don't have run enabled.
Apart from the fact that a three key combination doesn't work on my main laptop, but it does on my desktop and my older laptop, why have run enabled? When I play (used to play) Quake, I was never in a hurry, I just wanted to kill everything. I thought that was the idea:)

Ah, it's like a 'wimp' mode for Quake!
I'll stick to walking and take 'em on like a man ;)
#22110 posted by negke on 2012/10/01 19:21:33
Fun fact: the run key only affects forward and backward movement. The strafe keys are always at full speed.
Quake is a fast game by nature, so it's only consequent to eliminate the middle man (=the need to manually trigger running), so to speak - slower movement speed is largely unnecessary for this style of gameplay and makes it less enjoyable, in my opinion... so I'd rather call THAT the 'wimp' mode.
Fun fact II: Quake is slow compared to Doom.
