Go read, might be amusing, and go volunteer to join me playing GC2 coop when it's released too =).

Hmm

Well I'm always horny for co-op gameplay, but I also suck at strategy games. I don't like the massive learning curves. I don't want to buy a game just for a few fun rounds of co-op.

Errr....

#2848 posted by Shambler on 2003/12/13 15:12:58

....I was thinking of the whole damn game =).

Coop Is Good, But, Um...

Plans like that never seem to survive long enough. :(

Win98 will install (or upgrade from Win95) fine on FAT16, and it also includes a FAT32 converter in the system tools folder, which can convert you over to FAT32 without having to format/re-install.

Winsock Initialization Failed

#2861 posted by Scragbait on 2003/12/20 14:07:36

Hi Quake Types

I'm frustrated with something that perhaps someone out there can help me with. I have a 2nd PC which is this:

Pentium II - 266
2 Voodoo 2's in SLI
128Mb RAM
Sound Blaster Live! Value
No modem or LAN card and no internet connection
Windows 98SE

Here's my frustrating problem and I have tried scouring the web for answers but they either don't exist or you have to be a programmer to understand it. I've done clean installs and patches on 3 Quake 2 engine games (Quake 2, Sin and Heretic 2) and none of them start. I get a WinSock Initialization Failed popup and that's it - no game. FitzQuake gives the same error message but it is good enough to know that I'm not in multiplayer and I can play SP just fine.

I only want to play single player. I've downloaded from microsoft the winsock files but no luck. My PC is pretty clean - there's not much on it.

Can anyone help me?

I've Never Seen

#2862 posted by aguirRe on 2003/12/20 14:29:53

that error in Q2, but WinSock is the programming API to access TCP/UDP protocols via Win32. Since you state that you don't have a network card, Win98 might not have installed basic TCP/IP support.

Either try the Q2 command line option -noudp or install Microsoft Loopback Adapter to get TCP/IP installed. For that you don't need any network card hardware but the protocol stacks will be installed so any program that require them should at least load.

Program To Shrink Textures?

#2863 posted by necros on 2003/12/20 17:06:27

anyone know of a program that can shrink images to 50% of their size (regardless of their initial ones) completly automatically?

or is there a way to do it with Photoshop 7.0?

Irfan view can do batch conversion and resizing.
